ENERGETIC HEALING RESEARCH

Based on scientific research, energy healers project electromagnetic fields from their bodies. For example, Reiki practitioners have been shown to produce small magnetic fields in their hands of up to 3 picoTesla. (Baldwin) Others have found healers to produce up 100 nanoTesla. In other research magnetic fields of 200–400 nT (a field intensity of ~1000 times greater than that of the cardiac biomagnetic field measured in humans)

Research, indicates that biomagnetic intensity levels are extremely low. Energy healers produce electro-magnetic fields in their healing work, which can be thousands of times stronger than the body’s own bioelectromagnetic fields. At the tissue level this can be a dramatically signif¬icant level of power by multiple levels. There is an interaction between elec¬trical fields and magnetic fields and the electromagnetic fields of the healers, like externally applied magnetic fields, impact charge production in the body resulting in rebalancing of body and tissue functions.

Dr. Elmer Green thought that if people were meditating in a really potent way, they could be generating electrical voltages in their bodies. To test this theory, he set up a copper wall which people sat in front of, and measured the volt¬ages that developed on the walls as a way of finding out whether or not their body changed voltage. When isolated from the ground, sitting alone in a room, a normal body could produce voltages in the millivolt (mV) range. A buildup of static electricity could produce as much as two volts. When they studied healers versus just meditators, the voltages associated with healing intention would shoot up to as much as 200 V and return to baseline. Healer voltages are not normal and are as much as 1000 times stronger than normal. These higher pulses of electricity would only last 4-5 seconds. Dr. Green also discovered that healers doing this over a period of time would often produce electrical pulses from the bodies even when they weren’t trying to heal, but just meditating.

In six meditation sessions, one of the healers produced only one pulse of voltage. In the first of the healing sessions, there were 15 – 20 pulses, connected to the intention to heal. One of the healers was bursting with energy to such a degree that the pulsing phenomenon occurred even during meditation. Dr. Green concluded that at least one of the correlates of this healing energy is electrical.

In other work, healers recorded as much as a million volts on the copper wall with a very rapid healing pulse. When they evaluated their EEGs, simultaneous to the healing session, there was a spike in the intensity of the electrical activity in the EEG, that correlated with the healing pulse.

Research studies continue to be done all around the world.
