Baseline testing of energy practitioners: Biophoton imaging
results.

PURPOSE: Utilization of Biophoton Imaging to
assist in determining baseline characteristics of energy practitioners
from seven traditions.
METHODS: The images are taken with a Biophoton
imaging system with low noise, high gain and cooled to -80 degrees C.
Images are captured on a password protected computer maintained at the
Biofield center and then transferred to a CD-Rom for analysis. Four
leaves are selected from Geranium plants and imaged, with two which
have no significant difference in their output selected for the trial.
Two trials are done of each condition, healing and glowing. Active plant
leaves are treated by practitioners for a period of ten minutes to have
the plant leaf either heal or glow. Active and control leaves are then
placed in the imaging chamber at the completion of the energy session.
Ten three-minute images and six ten-minute images are taken of each
trial. Biophoton images have been processed and analyzed for the average
emission of photons per pixel. Subjects are compared both within traditions
and between seven healer groups. Data points have been graphed.
RESULTS: (Data collection is not complete as
of Sept 30. Data on 10 healers and 1 control have been analyzed. Data
collection is expected to be completed by Jan 30, 2006.) At this time
significant effects have been produced by all ten healers tested as
a change from the control leaf in the second trials in both healing
and glowing conditions. However, the first trial of healing condition
produced only 6 of 10 with significant results. First trial of glowing
condition produced 7 of 10 with significant results. Control subject
produced no significant change.
CONCLUSION: Energy practitioners from seven
healing traditions are able to produce a physical change to the leaf
tissue, which results in a change of photon output in two distinct conditions
"healing" and "glowing". Biophoton imaging may be
a possible empirical process which could be used by energy practitioners
to support skills training.
