The development of a bio-sensor for the state of consciousness in a human intentional healing ritual

Several research groups have obtained experimental evidence in favor of the idea that changes in RNG randomness are manifested during group gatherings with strong emotional intensity even in the absence of any RNG-directed conscious attention. We have extended this line of thinking and have focussed on the consiousness-mediated act of healing during a healer-patient ritual, and have considered what happens inside another living non-human organism that was present only as a witness of the event and was certainly not the object of any directed intention. For experimental testing of this idea we used the process of photon emission of Acetabularia acetabulans cells. We report on the photon emission data of this organism during a series of experiments consisting of 36 healing sessions. The periods of healer-patient interaction were alternated by non-healing periods. Neither healer nor patient were aware of the type of measurements that took place. Primary data analysis indicated that the Acetabularia cells show some remarkable alterations in photon count distributions during the ritual of healer-patient sessions. We suggested that given the high degree of organization of a bio-sensor, some periodicities might be hidden in the data that were produced in the time-series of 17 min duration with observations made at 1 sec. As a first approach we estimated the power spectrum of photon emission and compared the intensities and periods of the major peaks. In the experimental healing segments the average intensity of the 20 major peaks is larger than of the corresponding control segments. The changes in power during healing are manifested specifically in a decrease of peaks in the range of periods between 2.5-6 s and an increase in the range between 10-20 s.
