Elmer Green had demonstrated in his research that an enormous surge of electrostatic energy occurred during healing. When a person is simply standing still, his or her breathing and beating heart will produce electrostatic energy of 10-15 millivolts on the EEG amplifiers; during activities requiring focused attention, such as meditation, the energy will surge up to 3 volts. During healing, however, Green’s healers produced voltage surges up to 190 volts; one healer produced 15 such surges, which were 100,000 times higher than normal…. Green discovered that the pulses were coming from the healers abdomen, called dan tien and considered the central engine of internal energy in the body in Chinese martial arts.

Stanford University physicist William Tiller constructed an ingenious device to measure the energy produced by healers. The equipment discharged a steady stream of gas and recorded the exact number of electrons pulsing out with the discharge. Any increase in voltage would be captured by the pulse counter.

In his experiment, Tiller asked ordinary volunteers to place their hands bout six inches from his device and hold a mental intention to increase the count rate. In the majority of more than 1,000 such experiments, Tiller discovered that during the intention the number of recorded pulses would increase by 50,000 and remain there for 5 minutes. These increases would occur even if the participant was not close to the machine, so long as he or she held and intention. Tiller concluded that directed thoughts produce demonstrable physical energy, even over remote distance.

I found two other studies measuring the actual electrical frequencies emitted by people using intention. One study measured healing energy and the other examined energy generated by a Chinese Qigong master during times that he was emitting external qi, the Chinese term for energy or the life force. In both instances, the measurements were identical: frequency levels of 2-30 hertz were being emitted by the healers.

This energy also seemed to change the molecular nature of matter. I discovered a body of scientific evidence examining chemical changes caused by intention. Bernard Grad, an associate professor of biology at McGill University in Montreal, had examined the effect of healing energy on water that was to be used to irrigate plants. After a group of healers had sent healing to samples of water, Grad chemically analyzed the water by infrared spectroscopy.


He discovered that the water treated by the healers had undergone fundamental change in the bonding of oxygen and hydrogen in it’s molecular makeup. The hydrogen bonding between the molecules had lessened in a manner similar to that which occurs in water exposed to magnets. A number of other scientists confirmed Grad’s findings; Russian research discovered that the hydrogen-oxygen bonds in water molecules undergo distortions in the crystalline microstructure during healing.


These kinds of changes can occur simply through the act of intention.

In one study, experienced meditators sent an intention to affect the molecular structure of water samples they were holding throughout the mediation. When the water was later examined by infrared spectrophotometry, many of it’s essential qualities, particularly it’s absorbance-the amount of light absorbed by the water at a particular wavelength- had been significantly altered.

When someone holds a focused thought, he may be altering the very molecular structure of the object of his intention.
