[Marxism] Energy and biology

     Electricity moves through all living things. A charged atom is called an ion. Ions are created when two atoms form an ionic bond. An Ionic bond is when one atom donates one or more electrons to another atom so that they both will be stable. This causes one atom to be positively charge and the other to be negatively charged. The opposite charges attract each other and hold the atoms together. This bond is easily broken in solvents such as water where they then become free ions. In the human body ions move through all of the tissue assisting in many physiological functions. They are often referred to as electrolytes. Any time there is a surge of ions of the same charge in the same direction there is an electrical current and so an electromagnetic field is created.

There is a subtle pisoelectrical negative ion charge in the interstitial fluid flowing through the connective tissue in our bodies, which is mainly composed of hyaluronic acid.  

This, in my opinion, is the reality behind the feeling of being recharged after practicing yoga or soft martial arts. Yoga stretches the connective tissue which wraps around muscle fibers, groups of muscle fibers, individual muscles and groups of muscles. This allows for the free flow of interstitial fluid and the sensation of a free flow of energy.  Its just the perception of the negative pisoelectrical  ion charge.   
Interesting that the free flow of fluid produces a corresponding energetic sensation which is perceived as very pleasant. This is the positive feedback produced by healthy practice for the body. The sensation can become as addictive as any drug but since it is a bodily resonse to a healthy practice what's the problem?
