Abstract
Using a gas measurement method in which pieces of cucumbers (Cucumis sativus 'white spine type') were used as bio-sensors, we measured spatial distributions of controlled healing power (J values) around healers. Participants were 5 volunteer-healers and 2 Chinese psychic-healers. Participants each did two 30-minute trials of non-contact healing for the target bio-sensors in front of them. At that time, their spatial distributions of J values were measured at 25 or 50cm intervals in the front-backward and right-leftward directions from the participants. The spatial distribution of J values of the volunteer-healers was a wave-like distribution similar to that for one of the psychic healers. The wave-like distribution suggested that an invisible layer structure was generated around a human body. Moreover, a possibility was found that a miss-control case in which a healer failed to concentrate his/her power on a target could be distinguished from a powerless case in which the healer did not have any special strong power. The potential distribution of the miss-control could be approximated by a wave function of a 1-dimensional quantum harmonic oscillator, and two possibilities were suggested: healing phenomena follow a certain physical law even if the healers fails to control their power; and the fundamental equation of healing phenomena was a second order differential equation.
