When Rico started, there was no knowledge he could have built on. So he looked, for a very long time and very closely. Here you can read how he goes about it, what he has observed and what is still open.
Since 1998, Rico Brunner has given more than 60,000 one-on-one sessions. Not to reach a number. He needed that many to test his model and his theories against reality, again and again.
Some patterns only show up once you have seen them hundreds of times. Without that volume, Rico would never have recognized them. It was the sheer mass of observations that helped him solve problems he had at first neither seen nor understood.
Rico describes himself as something like a savant, just without the downsides: fully engaged in life, completely at home in everyday life. And yet with an ability that stands out. When it comes to energy fields, he remembers everything, much like a photographic memory.
He does not see everything at once. He can look at a single room or at many together and recall exactly what he perceived at some point. He uses this every day. That is why, after so many sessions, he can say: in practice, the mechanics show up again and again the way the model describes them.
Rico’s description of his own perception, not independently verified.
“I don’t see everything at once. I navigate through my knowledge as if through rooms.”
Rico Brunner
For years, the research happened mainly in sessions. That is where Rico built the model, collected patterns and tested them, from the rough picture down to the fine detail. Sessions still take place, today around 20 to 45 a week, depending on what he is working on.
In countless remote sessions, Rico learned a great deal more. It is a different kind of work than a session, and it has broadened his research. Here he has nothing to explain and is fully at rest. His focus is stronger and far more precise. That is why most of the research happens here today.
“Why does the same experience affect the lives of two people differently? One goes on without problems and the other is traumatized, hurt or overwhelmed.”
Rico Brunner on his research question
Summarized by the assistant from Rico's statements in interviews and conversations about the model.
Energyology is an experience-based model. It does not claim scientific proof. It describes what Rico Brunner has observed and checked again and again in his practice. And it keeps growing: The more precisely I describe it, the clearer it becomes.
Look in a way that changes nothing.
Check your own conclusions from what you observed before you believe them.
Check whether what you recognized is really true.
So that observation and evaluation remain verifiable later, new entries follow a fixed standard:
An excerpt from the body of research. Each observation states what kind of observation it is. None of them has been independently verified.
In the field, Rico perceives ever smaller and ever larger units. He has not found a limit.
Own perception, not independently verified
The units appear independent to him. They attract each other and lie side by side without mixing.
Own perception, not independently verified
A field can be stable as a whole and still have a problem in one single place.
Model description, no measurement
Help, Stability and Development respond differently to strain, and each needs a different occasion to develop.
Derived from practice, not a case series
Strong areas can balance out weak ones. In Rico's experience, however, this balancing can itself create an imbalance.
Model description, no measurement
A cell without a solution seems disoriented and searching to him. With a solution, it seems straightforward. If it then lacks vigor, it strives toward the solution but has too little strength to carry it out.
Own perception, not independently verified
One question has not been solved yet: why does a field that looks sufficiently intact sometimes still fail to bring about the action? Rico calls it the “red button.”
Rico draws the line himself: in his practice, he has not observed a direct cause leading from the energy field to a physical illness. This is a statement about his observation, not a medical statement.
What appears here as an observation is Rico's perception. It is recorded so that it can be checked later, not to prove anything.
