Behind imagination lie the doors to higher levels of reality. The

ability to use symbolic imagery also holds the key to tapping

into vast sources of creativity and insight.

Energy Tools in Action

Our staff consistently reported using the tools personally and with clients to ground and be centered. For example, establishing boundaries keeps Debby from taking client issues home and she’s less tired as a result. I was immediately able to use one of the techniques to stay focused in an administrative crisis that came up after the training.

Vicki Tullius, LCSW, Program Manager, Touchstone, Enloe Hospital

The energy tools have given me the gift of a key to unlock the magical world of focus. This has helped to illuminate my growth to spiritual pathways, while gaining greater self-confidence and insights, and developing personal courage. Professionally, it has given my nursing career in the acute care setting the ability to survive in an increasingly accelerated and chaotic environment. The tools have helped me to more fully appreciate humor, that Joy is more than a dishwashing liquid!

Lavon Divine-Leal, RN

The energy tools had a profound effect on our group. Participants felt focused immediately. A salesperson reported increased sales after the workshop. Others reported a flow of confidence to create new directions.

Rose McClintick, Manager, Hawaiian Gardens

It has been just a bit more than a week since I’ve been using some of your techniques, but what I’ve been experiencing has been remarkable. Intuitively, I knew that I needed some fresh ideas, so yours came to me at just the perfect time. I’m also lightening up, playing more with energy, visualizing, and feel my intuitive voice is getting very strong, noticeably stronger.

Charlie Peterson, after reading a draft of the book

Your tools have had the most lasting impact. One thing I noticed different about myself is that usually by the middle of the spring semester, I feel completely depleted. But I can tell something is different for me now. I feel replenished, like a daily rejuvenation occurs, sometimes with my conscious effort, and sometimes I feel it just happening naturally. What people need to know about what you teach is that less effort can often times mean more output. Also, effort at the wrong things will never produce peacefulness or energy. I feel like there is an inner energy that leads and guides me.

Rochelle Sanchez, MA, school counselor

Acknowledgments

Thanks to students in my meditation, healing, and clairvoyance classes at Earth Haven: Center for Spiritual Enrichment for new insights into how energy tools work in practice. I’ve changed the names of students and clients mentioned in the book (unless given permission to use their first names) but all their experiences are factual, often reported in their own words. Thanks to my teachers trained by Lewis Bostwick at the Berkeley Psychic Institute from whom I took classes or workshops: Karen Joiner (teacher of my clairvoyant program), Mary and Robert Skillman (20 sessions in the Spirit Revisited One-to-One program), John Fulton and other teachers at Aesclepion, and Michael Tamura. I specifically acknowledge ideas of various teachers only when I quote a new idea I’ve not also heard from other teachers trained by Lewis Bostwick.

The basic energy symbols described in the book were developed by Bostwick (1918-1995) who founded the Berkeley Psychic Institute (BPI) in the San Francisco Bay Area in the early 1970s. His only writing is in past Psychic Reader newsletters and his students promised not to write about what they learned from him. Many new tools came to me while teaching or doing clairvoyant readings.

I also learned healing techniques from Michael Mamas and the other teachers trained by Barbara Brennan in the freshman year of Mamas’ School for Enlightenment and Healing. I did electrocrystal training at Camelot, received Reiki 3 attunement from Larry Gilbert, and hypnosis certification from Glyn King. Thanks to Bud Kuecke for basic training in the energy therapies. The conferences and trainings organized by the Association for Comprehensive Energy Psychology provided additional information.

Thanks to Robert Andersen, Annie Chapman, James Cox, Nora Pineda, Christy Renz, Marg Smith, and Megan Sweeney for sharing resources. Appreciation to Dolores Blalock and Kathleen Boutte for copyediting.

Why and How to Use Energy Tools

We’re taught to use our eyes and ears but not our inner sight and hearing. Developing the subtle senses is like listening to music in stereo rather than mono, a fascinating doorway to new ways of perceiving. As well as being fun, using clairvoyant and healing tools provide answers quickly and enhance health. Listening to the body usually means you don’t need to get sick. If ignored, the problem escalates until you finally pay attention to a message to slow down and nurture yourself or to release anger, grief or fear. The energy tools provide a wonderful service to give others. The person who participates in a clairvoyant reading session usually feels like a burden has been lifted and has more clarity about what action to take. Both of us feel exhilarated after a good reading.

You can use visualization techniques as energy tools to tap into the power of thought, at home and at work, for improving your sports’ performances or your relationships, giving up an old habit or addiction, getting answers, reducing stress, and for more fun—whatever goals you value. You’ll learn simple but powerful ways to direct energy to create what you want. For example, perhaps you’re tired and want more vitality. Imagine a gold sun pouring light into your body. Maybe someone irritates you, drains you, or tries to control you. Visualize a big rose between the two of you acting as a sponge to absorb any negativity.

After using the tools learned in energy tools classes, my students report feeling more in charge of their own lives and less reactive to other people’s dramas or to work demands. They feel more calm, centered, less fatigued, and experience more joy. The energy tools allow more freedom to create, achieve goals, and be powerful in a positive way.

A 1996 ABC News/Washington Post poll found 82 percent believe in the healing power of prayer, 56 percent believe in telepathy, and 19 percent have practiced meditation. More than half have had a paranormal experience such as ESP, a healing, or contact with an entity, reports psychologist Jerry Wesch, Ph.D.i A 2002 survey for the National Science Foundation reported that 60 percent agreed that some people possess psychic powers or extrasensory perception, although I believe we all have that potential.

My students and I have come to take synchronistic events or small miracles for granted, like thinking about someone and then she calls. Syncronicity occurs when two meaningful events happen seemingly as a chance coincidence, such as my finding a book on Jung on my video editor’s floor as I was looking for more information on synchronicity. Or, when for the first and only time a hawk flew very near me, sat on a rock and looked at me while I was doing a phone reading on my deck with a woman who needed a message to gain perspective on her love life. Hawk sees the big picture. My favorite, I was snorkeling and set the intention to see something interesting, and within seconds two dolphins swam up and accompanied me for a while.

Quantum physicists discovered that distant events affect each other in a way that defies common sense (Dahl’s theory). As the Course in Miracles (said to be recent teachings of Jesus) states, Miracles are natural. When these do not occur, something has gone wrong. Psychoanalyst Carl Jung originated the concept of synchronicity and James Redfield’s novel Celestine Prophecy popularized it. Jung had a session with a woman who told him about her dream of a golden scarab beetle. They heard a tapping on the window, he opened it, and in flew–you guessed it–a golden scarab beetle.

Jung said our life purpose is to become whole, to become aware of our unconscious mind, so we can distinguish ourself from the unconscious contents. This is freedom. Energy tools provide a way to see and harmonize the unconscious contents, software programs which govern our attractions, decisions, and moods.

This book is interactive, so if you have questions and observations, please e-mail me at [e-mail]. I suggest practicing the tools and experiments with a partner or group so you can compare notes and encourage each other to use the tools daily. Keep a journal to record the results of the experiments and journal questions listed after each new topic in Section I. Include your dreams in your journaling so you get practice interpreting visual images, like the ones you’ll see doing clairvoyant work and studies report the majority of psychic revelations occur in dreams. In addition, keep a humor scrapbook with your favorite jokes and cartoons to expand your sense of humor which is essential to becoming more centered.

I’ve produced three videos to illustrate the energy tools with animated graphics and demonstrations of readings and healings. A CD is available to guide your meditation, make contact with your higher self, and achieve goals. Kids have their own energy tools CD. (See the order form at the end of the book.)

The people I quote who describe their experiences with the energy tools are students who took my energy tools classes in the US, Japan, and Canada; clients from all over the US who participated in one-on-one phone sessions or respondents to Internet requests to read drafts of this book.

A note about terminology: I saw, read, or looked means clairvoyantly—not with my eyes. Readee or healee refers to the client being read. See the vocabulary list if a concept is unfamiliar. When asked to use an energy tool such as create a gold sun, use your imagination and intention, your focused awareness. You’ll create an actual subtle energy field, which I was surprised to discover can be read clairvoyantly, as demonstrated in the unrehearsed videos. The secret of success is to have fun and create without effort, using the power of your awareness and focused will. As the Bible states, As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.

Section I outlines the essential energy tools, the foundation for the other parts of the book. This section is illustrated in the first video titled Essential Energy Tools. Section II topics can be read separately as issues come up in your daily life. Section III teaches how to do clairvoyant reading, illustrated in the video, Energy Tools for Clairvoyance. Healing skills are described in Section IV and illustrated in the third video, Energy Tools for Wellness and Healing. I’ve packed a lot of information into the book, which can be overwhelming, so I suggest reading about a tool and applying the information before reading more. As you use the energy tools, I predict you’ll have more control over your life and therefore more ease and enjoyment.

My Unfolding as a Clairvoyant

As a teenager reading on the couch in my parents’ living room, I had my pivotal aha experience. The chapter on Hinduism in Huston Smith’s book Religions of Man (back in the old days when people didn’t use inclusive language) explained cause and effect, karma and reincarnation. This gave me the vocabulary to understand the purpose of life as attracting experiences to grow and blossom. Smith explains that karma means the moral law of cause and effect. I also learned about the power of thought to create action from my mother, Barbara Kimball.

The notion that difficulties are blessings in disguise was strengthened by my wise spiritual teacher, Vira Specht. I visited her weekly in her modest Venice, California, home. An immigrant from Sweden, she stood tall and erect, gray hair pulled back in a bun, with piercing blue eyes. Her eyes looked right to my inner core. She believed in karma and reincarnation as well, using the imagery of steel liquefied in the fiery heat to be purged of impurities and made strong, as we attract challenging situations to become stronger and wiser.

As we discussed my week in terms of how I’d handled issues, a combination therapist, grandmother and stern taskmaster, Vera frequently would ask, Did you take measurement? She wanted to determine if I had taken advantage of challenges presented to me by a co-worker, for example. She gave me invaluable practical strategies, such as don’t talk about your goals to other people until you’ve achieved them, so they don’t get diluted by other people’s feelings. In a relationship, figuratively leave the door open so your partner doesn’t feel caged and want to fly away. She was also a healer; when I had a lingering cough, she put her hands on my chest. I felt a burning flash that startled me, but it worked. I didn’t cough any more.

I could best understand the notion of an unseen intelligence shaping the important events in my life as similar to physics. When an atom is missing an electron, it attracts the kind of electron it needs to be complete. Very few major events in my life were orchestrated by my conscious mind, except my choice of university training at UC Berkeley and my first teaching job which I got by persistent phone calls to the man in charge of hiring. Other events came to me since I didn’t know enough to ask for them. When I moved from junior high to high school teaching, a premonition popped into my consciousness like a photograph in my mind’s eye. I saw a scene near the high school where I would teach and also knew that I would teach there only two years. I actually saw the scene as I drove to the interview so I was certain I would get the job.

At the end of the second year, however, I had no intention of quitting. I traveled around Europe during the summer and jet lag kept me awake when I returned. Awake in bed late at night, I realized I was bored with teaching U.S. History, even though I initiated a class on world religions and enjoyed teaching. I quit and applied for graduate school in Religious Studies at the University of California. I have no idea what I would have done if I hadn’t been accepted. I would never advise anyone to quit a job before having another source of income lined up, but in this case it felt like the right action.

My plan was to get an MA and teach in a community college, but no one replied to my application letters, so I asked my advisor if I could go on for the Ph.D. and he agreed. I’d never thought of getting a doctorate. At a conference a year later, I ran into some professors from a state university who were looking for a token woman to work for their all-male department for a year. I’d never heard of Chico, a little college town in northern California, and hadn’t thought of leaving graduate school after only two years. But when they offered me the job, I thought it would be a good idea to have full-time college teaching experience and money, plus my significant other was ready to leave Santa Barbara. I said I’d come if he got into the teaching credential program, the pieces fell into place, and we moved to a tiny house in an almond orchard.

Although I planned on staying for only a year, I’m still here. I stayed because I taught a seminar on women and religion with a group of ardent feminists. My students gave me the vocabulary to understand sexism. I became fascinated with women’s studies as I’d befriended the underdog since I was a child, and was offered a position as coordinator of the new Women’s Studies program. I never dreamed I’d switch from teaching high school history, to university Religious Studies, to Women’s Studies, and now to teaching clairvoyance and healing in countries ranging from Japan to Cuba.

Although I’d always planned on having children, I was so intent on finishing the dissertation, getting tenure, and surviving university politics, I put it on the back burner. Then I met a man who lived around the corner from me, was born the same year, had lived in the same cities, and had gone to two of the same universities. Our mothers even had the same name. We met jogging in the park through his friendly dog and started dating. Our biological clocks were ticking and our son Jed was the outcome. Les and I might have attracted each other because we’re part of the same group of souls who travel through lifetimes together and had agreed to parent a child together. We separated when Jed was a toddler, so I think our main purpose was to bring our son into the world. We’ve remained friends and committed co-parents, with Jed going back and forth to Mom’s house and Dad’s house.

My mother talked about cash karma when something you’ve wanted falls into your lap with no effort. I ran into a professor who was organizing a free six-week trip to India to study the role of women (a Fulbright program). She needed someone with my credentials so off I went on a dream-come-true.

More recently, at a healing workshop, I met a Japanese woman, a fellow student to whom I taught clairvoyant techniques each day after the workshop was over. She offered to pay me, I said, No, but bring me to Japan to teach the energy tools. She didn’t hesitate a second and we’ve had a great time several times a year since then.

I learned the clairvoyant techniques when I had a sabbatical from teaching and decided I wanted to focus more on spirituality. I’d had snatches of psychic information, seeing snapshots of men I would meet in the future and repeating to boyfriends their thoughts or conversations, but only in anxious moments. A friend told me about an institute in town where they did aura balancing and clairvoyant reading. I went, took classes, and graduated from the Chico Psychic Institute’s clairvoyant program. It’s useful to be able to turn on my inner vision at will rather than waiting for some emotionally charged situation to turn it on.

Three nights a week for a year at the institute was intensive, but clairvoyant work is fascinating. It’s like developing a photo, waiting to see what image will appear on the white paper floating in the developing chemicals. It’s also like a lucid dream, images appearing on your inner eye, providing powerful insights about the person you’re reading. It’s fun surprising people you’ve never met before, as their core issues are described in a few minutes. I’m an experience junkie, and exploring another set of senses is unique and fun.

When Karen Joiner, my teacher, encouraged us to go into her teacher’s program, I adamantly said, No, that’s what I do for my day job, that’s enough. But again my path was different than I thought. When Karen moved to another state, the clairvoyant class I graduated with took over the institute and changed its name to Earth Haven. I became the main teacher when the others decided it was a lot of work and not much pay. Now teaching energy tools is what I’m most focused on, contrary to my original decision. My experiences convinced me a higher intelligence can be accessed if we pay attention.

We all have the innate potential to use energy tools. Focused intention is easily cultivated like sprouting a seed and growing it into a flower. Having specific templates and protocols makes developing your clairvoyant and healing abilities easier, as you’ll soon discover.

With our thoughts we make the world.

-The Buddha

A stone is frozen light.

-David Bohm, physicist

Thoughts as Energy Tools

Energy tools provide containers for moving energy, like using a knob to turn your radio dial to the right station. Your intention to achieve a goal creates a tangible energy field, as when I surprised to discover I could clairvoyantly read my students’ use of energy tools. Many people go through life listening to radio static or the stations other people want to hear, not knowing how to tune in to their own stations. The visualization tools are so simple and so powerful in harnessing the power of the mind, our children would benefit from learning them.

We need energy tools to move out the critical static from other people that inhibits hearing the higher self/inner voice. As children, we learned to say to ourselves: how stupid, what a jerk, what a dope, loser, space case, air head; I’m selfish, lazy, greedy, and so on, rather than delighting in watching our potential unfold, learning from mistakes, and enjoying being alive in this transformative era.

You’ve probably felt someone stare at you from behind. You’ve known someone was going to call or write to you, or had deja vu when it seemed like you’d already experienced a present event. You’ve had a hunch and were glad you listened to it or regretted ignoring it. You met people and had a good or bad feeling about them that proved to be true. You may have observed an animal go to the door when its owner is about to return home. We all have a sixth sense, but most of us were taught to ignore and fear it rather than develop it, partly because it often kicks on without warning as a premonition of disaster.

Our slang provides many examples of unconscious knowledge of energy fields. We view these expressions as symbolic although they’re actually literal descriptions of our energy field, the aura. We say we’re spaced out, scattered, strung out, spread thin, beside myself, down to earth, calm and collected, heart sick, absent minded, or out of my head over you. And we actually are, energetically.

Our vocabulary recognizes the quality of color frequencies associated with various emotions: I felt blue. I saw red. She’s green with envy. He’s in the pink. You’ll notice more examples such as the colors associated with holidays and their essential feelings, such as pink and red on Valentine’s Day or green and yellow at Easter. UCLA professor Valerie Hunt measured the actual frequencies of various colors, emotions, and healing states in her UCLA lab, as reported in The Infinite Mind. She confirms the body is electromagnetic, with the positive polarity inside the cell membrane and the negative outside, like 75 trillion batteries.

Most of us have experienced ESP, information learned through other than the known senses. Here’s one of Vanessa’s fun experiences with mental telepathy:

This morning I woke up and began singing The Yellow Submarine by the Beatles. Right after I finished singing, I thought I have to call Jon. He said thanks for talking to him because he had a bad dream and felt better to talk to me. Right before he woke up, he was in the yellow submarine of the Beatles’ movie with me. I said, You’ve got to be kidding, and asked what time he woke up—8:30, the same exact time I sang the song and thought of him!

How can humans and animals get information about what a distant person is feeling, or what will happen? Information gets exchanged on a subtle level, which the fascinating Swiss psychoanalyst Carl Jung called the collective unconscious. Its universal images and symbols manifest cross-culturally in art, rituals and dreams.1 British biologist Rupert Sheldrake refers to morphogenetic fields in which information is exchanged unconsciously, as explained in his book, A New Science of Life. More exactly, information exchange is explained by quantum physics, the study of subatomic particles/ waves.

Physicist David Bohm theorized that:

The universe is seen as a giant web. Upon the web are individual particles which receive and transmit information through a pilot wave. Because the information is present in the wave, it is immediately available to every single particle throughout the universe. Therefore, the wave tells particles what every other particle is doing–all the information is stored, creating an implicate order.²

Quantum physics indicates that our common sense beliefs about time (the future can’t be viewed from the present) or space (you can’t draw an unnamed target at a distant place you’ve never seen) are false. A client in Oregon recently asked me to do remote viewing of a house she wants to buy. I saw some problems in the left side of the house, a weakening in the structure. It turned out to be rot along the window frames. An historic example of precognition, Abraham Lincoln dreamed of his assassin. The day of the assassination, although Ulysses S. Grant and his wife Julia were planning on accompanying the President to Ford’s Theater, Julia also had a premonition and insisted they leave immediately for their home in New Jersey.

Psi research (named after a Greek letter), also called parapsychology, occurs at universities including Princeton, Stanford, Duke, UCLA, the University of Michigan, the University of Houston, the University of Arizona, and the University of Nevada. The first parapsychology lab was at Duke University, headed by J.B. and Louisa Rhine, beginning in 1927. Other early work was done at Maimonides Hospital in Brooklyn by Montague Ullman and Stanley Krippner.

Psi researchers study telepathy (extra sensory perception, which is receiving a distant person’s thought), clairvoyance (seeing subtle energy with the third eye), precognition (predicting a future event as in Biblical prophecy), psychic healing (laying on of hands or prayer) and psychokinesis (moving an object with mental energy rather than muscles).

One of the academic researchers, Dean Radin, Ph.D., concluded, The evidence for these basic phenomena is so well established that most psi researchers today no longer conduct ‘proof-oriented’ experiments. Instead, they focus largely on ‘process-oriented’ questions like, what influences psi performance and how does it work?³ (See Appendix 3 for a summary of his book on psi research and see the physics bibliography.) Psi is still controversial, however, as various organizations try to disprove claims for the paranormal.⁴

One word explains how psi phenomena exist…intention. Energy follows thought and awareness. If you decide on something, you set it in motion. Right now, wink. It’s that easy; no effort. Intention can be as quick as wanting to reach in the cookie jar and your hand does it, or something slower, like deciding to find a friend with similar interests. Intention is probably the most subtle energy. It’s almost like the consciousness of energy, observes Jonathan Goldman, founder of the Sound Healers Association.⁵

Intention creates a thought form, whether the focus is conscious or unconscious. In a fascinating but unreplicated study, Japanese author Masur Emoto’s The Message from Water shows photographs of water crystals influenced by emotions and music. He directed loving thoughts towards a bottle of water, froze the water and photographed the ice crystals. He directed hateful thoughts towards the same water and again froze it. The loved water crystals were clear and symmetrical, while the hated crystals were dense and misshapen. Since our bodies are over 70 percent water, this study has profound implications.

Rochelle, a high school counselor who uses creative intention for emotional healing, tells us how:

Working with a young girl who had been molested was challenging because she was so explosive, distrustful, and hyperactive. We seemed to jump all over the place in a session, and she spent most of her time putting up protectors and shutting me out or lashing out. I would spend a lot of energy when I wasn’t with her thinking about our next session and whether or not she would even be in school. It was wearing me out and worrying wasn’t helping. I wanted something to shift for her, so I tried to formulate an image of how I would like to see her when I wasn’t with her.

I thought of what had been stolen from her when she was molested, and what she had deserved as a little girl but never was given. So in my mind I gave her a huge doll house that she could sit in, with every doll, toy, and accessory possible. Whenever I worried about her, I would put her in her doll house and tell her to play, smile, have fun, and be a little girl.

There has been a dramatic change in her behavior. Teachers have come up to me and told me she is so different. She appears much less stressed, and is trying new things. She seems like she’s becoming more of a whole person with both a fun and serious side. I know this may sound weird, and I realize my counseling skills helped, but I think the intention-energy thing, for some reason, made a difference.

We can perceive things at a distance and cause action from a distance. Using only their will power, researchers have wound and unwound DNA strands, slowed down or speeded up cell growth, increased the oxygen content of yeast, retarded the development of red blood cells in petri dishes, influenced the recovery rate of animals from anesthesia and the speed of their wound healing, and changed the acidity of water (described by Dean Radin, James Oschman, Daniel Benor, Jean Millay, William Braud, etc.). It’s not just humans who have this power. Thirsty rats, just with their electrical brain activity, can activate a robotic arm which gives them water. This demonstrates the literal power of thought.⁶

Every thought has an electrical and biochemical profile, with lower hertz associated with sleep and deep meditation, and higher hertz with learning. A person with multiple personalities has different brain wave patterns for each personality, as measured by an EEG machine. Intention can change brain states by using visualization, relaxation, and breathing (explained by Tom Kenyon in Brain States).

A Stanford engineering professor, William Tiller built a device called an electrical capacitor that pings and pulses light through an electrode when someone intends it to, even when she is not in the room near the device. Intention is again the key, as when hands are held around the detector without focusing on it, it doesn’t respond. Tiller believes there are ten rather than four dimensions and that physical matter is composed of electrical particles, while etheric matter is composed of magnetic particles.⁷

A mirror image principle is at work, Tiller suggests, with light acting as a boundary between the physical world of sub-light-speed particles and the etheric world of wave forms. Information passes between the two systems through energy bands of lattices. The body is like an antenna which transmits and receives electromagnetic waves.⁸ Each acupressure meridian point acts like a bipolar antenna, connecting us to each meridian. Thus, he believes that Chi Gong masters, for example, channel magnetic energy but inversely to a regular magnetic field. Gregory Nicosia, Ph.D., concluded, The human being is the most sophisticated information, transmission and reception device ever conceived.⁹

Success follows from setting clear intentions or goals, visualizing the changes you want, keeping your focus rather than spacing out, and creating with amusement. Think of a line with two extremes, two dichotomies involving critical judgments. Be balanced in the middle of the line by being non-judgmental and non-competitive. You’ll have more freedom if you don’t react as your buttons get pushed. What you can’t be neutral to can control you. Think about what causes upset, perhaps desire for approval and to be right, or for power and control. Record what disturbs you over a week and decide how much is worth getting off center. Lewis Bostwick (founder of the Berkeley Psychic Institute) found that it took his students over a year to really understand how to be neutral or objective, which is required to do unbiased clairvoyant work. We also have to think clearly to make wise decisions about what we want to manifest.

The Buddha talked about neutrality in terms of the middle path and non-attachment. Jesus advised to be in the world, but not of it. The Dalai Lama suggested allowing the mind in meditation to be like clear water; stay with this unfabricated mind without allowing conceptions to be generated.¹⁰

When in this pure state, we can focus our will to create good. For example, physician Randolph Byrd conducted a doubleblind study of prayer by various religious denominations for 193 randomly selected patients in the coronary unit at San Francisco General Hospital.¹¹ The control group was not prayed for. The patients who received prayers were five times less likely to require antibiotics, three times less likely to develop pulmonary edema, and fewer died. A review of 23 studies of prayer for 2,774 patients found a positive effect in 55 percent of the studies, as reported in the Annals of Internal Medicine. The person who prays is also affected: In Why God Won’t Go Away, Dr. Andy Newberg explains that prayer and meditation change blood flow in the brain.

A 1996 double-blind study of the effect of prayer by cardiologist Mitchel Krucoff’s group at Duke University Medical Center, usually without the patient’s knowledge, also resulted in a statistically significant outcome. Patients who received healing work did 30 to 50 percent better in the outcome measures than the control group. This success generated an expanded study of 1,500 patients.¹² Various techniques are used in addition to prayer by various religious groups, including Therapeutic Touch, relaxation exercises, and guided imagery, but prayer is most powerful. This effect is heightened when a photo is provided to the intercessor to visualize the patient during prayer.

Elizabeth Targ, MD, found a significant difference in the health and moods of AIDS patients who were prayed for, in contrast to a matched group of patients with similar T cell counts, etc. Targ worked at the Institute for Health and Healing at California Pacific Hospital in San Francisco where doctors are cross-trained in Chinese medicine, Reiki, and other holistic practices. As Edgar Cayce, the sleeping prophet, said, Thoughts are things with their own vibration. A devout Christian, he was surprised when he started channeling volumes of accurate medical advice and predictions while in trance.

The immune system, pain perception, and healing respond to beliefs and emotions. They determine which informational substances (strings of amino acids) fit into cell receptors. Chronically depressed people, for example, are twice as likely to get sick as people with better mental health. Scientists studying the effect of a high-fat diet on rabbits were surprised to find one lab where the rabbits remained healthy. They found the only variable was the lab technician who loved the rabbits, petted them and talked to them.

The body responds to our perceptions even if they’re not based on reality; for example, if someone is afraid of dogs, the body will go into alarm when encountering a dog, with increased blood pressure and pulse rate, even if it’s Lassie. If we see scary movies, we experience increased blood pressure and other stress responses to the images on the screen. Biofeedback teaches people how to lower blood pressure, slow heart rate, and alter other body functions with focused attention, as by thinking my hands are warm and heavy. For aeons, yogis have generated these powers in meditation. Since perceptions can be changed to affect the body, we can improve our health

These examples of the power of mind over matter suggest that it’s wise to consciously generate the kinds of thoughts and emotions we want in our lives. Our experiences mirror our expectations. Many clairvoyant readings have shown me that people create unconscious signals with instructions to which others respond, the same way we respond to stop signs like no trespassing signs. If someone has a sign that reads, I don’t deserve loving care and regard, she or he attracts people who follow those instructions. I suggest to my readees that they draw the old sign, tear it up, and burn it. Then, write out new instructions and post them to remind them to focus on the new software or pictures. A new affirmation might be, I deserve to be pampered.

Mind Over Matter

*Successful athletes visualize and enhance their performance without moving a muscle. A university study found that people who just imagined doing exercises increased the strength in their little fingers by 16 percent.¹³

*One-third to 40 percent of patients who take sugar pill placebos, but think they may be ingesting medication, get better because of their belief. For example, in a test of Uprima, a drug to help men get an erection, a sugar pill worked for one-third of the men, compared to 47 percent who took the drug.

*People with multiple personalites have different allergies, eye glasses and physical ailments, depending on which personality is dominant. This is the most striking proof of the impact of personality on the body.

*Under hypnosis, the person in trance feels sensations suggested by the hypnotist, such as developing a burn blister from a pencil touch. Psychiatrist Milton Erickson hypnotized several young women who, despite hormone injections, were completely flatchested. They all grew breasts within two months, although they had no memories of his suggestion.

We can create by imagining mental pictures; for example, of the right relationship, just as a painter creates with a brush. It’s not just imaginary, as energy has form. It can be felt as a tingling sensation or warmth, seen clairvoyantly or in Kirlian photographs, and it can be manipulated with thoughts to move objects. Scientists have measured the subtle energy fields of the meridians and chakras with sophisticated machinery (described in Section IV), but people have known about them for thousands of years. A prehistoric mummy found preserved in a Swiss icefield had tattoos on her major acupressure points.

Ancient words from around the world to describe the subtle energy field are chi or qi (China, third millennium BC), ki (Japan), prana (India), mana (Polynesia), ruach (Hebrew), yesod (Kabalism), baraka (Sufism) Holy Spirit or Light, (Christianity), wakan (Lakota), manitou (Algonkians), ether (pre-20th century Europeans), élan vital (Henri Bergson), (Wilhelm Reich), and the Force of Star Wars movies. Contemporary psi researchers use Einstein’s term subtle energy, defined as a massless medium which influences matter. It’s not easily measured, but known by its effects.

What’s behind the power of intentionality to affect the subtle energy field is a mind-boggling intelligence. As Gene Myers, a Celera computer scientist involved in the Human Genome project, said, What really astounds me is the architecture of life. The system is extremely complex. It’s like it was designed. He’s referring to the approximately 30,000 human genes found along the almost six-foot strand of DNA found in each cell (except for red blood cells). It’s interesting that humans and mice are differentiated by only 300 genes and that people of all races are 99.9 percent genetically identical. Use whatever word you like to describe the Architect, God, Allah… I’ll use Divine Intelligence.

In a novel, Druids, by Morgan Llywelyn, the Chief Druid explains there is no such thing as luck:

This is only a word for being able to control events. The few who intuitively follow the pattern
