Following is a good example of the research being done to identify the healing power of subtle energy (Prana, Chi) from a recent article in Intelligent Optimist magazine. The piece focuses on the pioneering work of Russian physicist Yury Kronn and the subtle energy that fills 96 percent of our existence but cannot be seen or measured (written by Jurrianan Kamp):
“If atoms are influenced by subtle energy, one would expect there to be an impact on living organisms as well. That research has been done by Professor Joie Jones (1941-2013) at the University of California, Irvine. Beginning in the mid-nineties, Jones spent ten years investigating the effects of ‘pranic healing’, practiced by healers using techniques established in China and India thousands of years ago. In his lab, Jones exposed cell cultures in petri dishes to gamma radiation, which has been shown to severely damage the DNA of cells; the normal survival rate of cells under the established dosage of gamma rays was 50 percent. When specially designed subtle energy patterns were added to the culture, they had a survival rate of 92 percent. ‘If subtle energy is able to restore cells after this kind of damage,’ Kronn explains, ‘we can understand why traditional Eastern medicine called this energy the ‘life force’.
The research by professor Jones gives credibility to the positive experiences many people have ‘inexplicable’ healing – energy medicine – methods like reiki and touch for health. It can also explain why, as experiments show, prayer supports healing; why the energy in acupuncture points on the body is measurably different from the energy in surrounding skin; and why homeopathy works. All these healing approaches are based on forces that modern science cannot see or measure. Krona says, ‘But we can observe the effects, and there are a lot of people who can see auras and who can feel the energy. These healers know how to use subtle energy. Moreover, people can learn to develop the same sensitivity.”
