Even if they don’t believe in mind over matter, most people behave as
though their thoughts do affect the world. Surveys have shown that the
vast majority of the world’s population prays and many throughout
history have witnessed and testified to the power of prayer. The
majority of such prayers essentially ask for God, the Universe, or
Nature to “roll the dice favorably” in our direction, thus things like
prayer and distance healing are also testable PK techniques.
“Randolph Byrd in 1988 attempted to determine in a randomized,
double-blind trial whether remote prayer would have any effect on
patients in a coronary care unit. Over 10 months, nearly 400 patients
were divided into two groups, and only half (unbeknownst to them) were
prayed for by a Christian prayer group outside the hospital. All
patients had been evaluated, and there was no statistical difference in
their condition before treatment. However, after treatment, those who’d
been prayed for had significantly less severe symptoms and fewer
instances of pneumonia and also required less assistance on a ventilator
and fewer antibiotics than patients who hadn’t been prayed for.”
-Lynne McTaggart, “The Field: The Quest for the Secret Force of the
Universe,” (186-7)
“The effectiveness of therapeutic touch has also been demonstrated in
several studies. For example, Dr. Janet Quinn, an associate professor
and assistant director of nursing research at the University of South
Carolina at Columbia, decided to see if therapeutic touch could lower
the anxiety levels of heart patients. To accomplish this she devised a
double-blind study in which one group of nurses trained in the technique
would pass their hands over a group of heart patients’ bodies. A
second group with no training would pass their hands over the bodies of
another group of heart patients, but without actually performing the
technique. Quinn found that the anxiety levels in the authentically
treated patients dropped 17 percent after only five minutes of therapy,
but there was no change in anxiety levels among the patients who
received the ‘fake’ treatment. Quinn’s study was the lead story in the
Science Times section of the March 26, 1985, issue of the New York
Times.” -Michael Talbot, “The Holographic Universe” (173)
