THE INFLUENCE OF GROUP HEART RHYTHM ON TARGET SUBJECT PHYSIOLOGY: Case report ofa laboratory demonstration, and suggestions for further research

Abstract

An example of energetic interaction at a distance is described in which an unskilled subject's ability to increase his heart rate variability coherence (HRVC) by utilizing a standardized mind/body technique is facilitated when in close proximity to a group of skilled practitioners who are simultaneously eliciting a state of high HRVC. Several opportunities to improve research methodology in future studies are presented, and the implications of these results for understanding the nature of anomalous interpersonal interactions and group energy fields are discussed.
