A NEW APPROACH TO THE STUDIES OF SUBTLE ENERGIES

The effects of subtle energies are criticized by many people as nothing but suggestion, and doubts have been cast on their effects on the living body. We have studied the effects of healing using the following parameters. 1. Changes in consciousness by recording EEG; 2. Changes in autonomic functions, such as pulse rate and blood pressure; 3. Changes in meridians; 4. changes in the discharge patterns of leaves under healing using Kirlian photography. It was found that a healer caused changes in the acdvity of meridians, increase in corona discharges of leaves, and synchronous changes in the EEG of both a healer and receiver during healing. The origin of healing energies has not been elucidated yet, but the existence of subtle energies is demonstrated

Skin Temperature Changes of Receivers Laogong on the Left Hand in Remote Action Experiment(II)

ECG analysis was done for a qi-receiver during Toh-ate (remote action; an ancient Japanese martial art) with double blind. Two practitioners were isolated in two rooms under the condition of cutting normal information transfer. One practitioner (sender) sent qi randomly once par trial of 80 seconds and the other (receiver) tried to perceive the qi; at the time he perceived it, he pushed a switch. Their sending times, receiving times and physiological data were recorded during the experiments. The receiver\u27s ECG R-R intervals were measured, and their fluctuations before and after the sending times were analyzed. As a result, in a group of trials without the receiver\u27s switch signals, the coefficient of variation of R-R intervals for 10 seconds after the sending times was larger by a statistically significant amount (1%) than before them.第１３回生命情報科学シンポジウ

Skin Temperature Changes of Receivers Laogong on the Left Hand in Remote Action Experiment(II)

Two persons who have a 40-year history as a pair practicing a martial art which front-detects a partner\u27s attack sign performed remote action experiment a total of 4 times over 2 years. In all runs, the two subjects were in two different rooms, and the sender emitted a qi of attack only once during an 80-second trial under double blinded and randomized conditions. In this report, the temperature data of the second experimental series were analyzed and tested. The difference between the average temperature changes during a period of 2 seconds before the 1 second of sending was statistically significant at 5% or less. The time of change was the same as in part I which analyzed the first experimental series. Then, the differences between three large peaks which occurred around -41 (p=3.7%) sec (peak I), 0 sec (13.4) (peak II), +36 sec (1.3) (peak III) in the frequency histogram which Yamamoto 8) reported were also analyzed and tested. PeakII showed a statistically significant value of 1% or less between the difference of the average temperature change near the sending time, however there was no significance near peaks I and III
