I recently came across this published scientific paper on the effects of healing intentions.
Here’s a summary of the experiment:
- Find out if healing intentions have any impact on living and non-living systems.
- Expose cells (living) and a random number generator (non-living) to healing intentions.
- Compare cells and a random number generator not exposed to healing intentions.
- Record what happens.
What happened was not much – at first. However, by the third day noticeable changes were recorded in those cells and random number generators exposed to the healing intentions, but it took three days to show up; days one and two showed no significant visible change.
Here’s what the experimenters concluded:
This experiment suggests that a single application of healing intention may be insufficient to affect human brain cell colony formation or random number generators to a significant degree. But repeated application of healing intentions and space-conditioning meditations appear to have measurable consequences in both systems.
This paper says it quietly, in understated scientific language, but it truly is profound in its implications.
When it comes to healing, there is a gradual but cumulative effect on the recipient with REPEATED applications of benevolent intentions. But in order to get the cumulative effect you have to persist.
I have experienced this in my healing practice, too. When I switched to working with people repeatedly over extended periods of time the reported results amazed us all.
So how can you use this information for your benefit? Have you given up on a personal healing journey because you didn’t see results right away? Have you been discouraged in your alternative healing profession due to an ineffective single session model? Well this might be the answer you are looking for.
- Choose a healing tool. This experiment focused on Johrei, but you could use any tool you like. I use Reiki and prayer as the foundation of my practice.
- Use it repeatedly.
- Keep going.
