We hear it all the time, “Be careful what you wish for, it just may happen.” Well it seems that there is actually scientific evidence that supports that statement. The Intention Experiment, conducted by Lynne McTaggart, is an on-going experiment that has produced compelling results in just six months. The experiment has produced extraordinary evidence indicating that “group mind,” or “collective intention,” is capable of changing the physical properties of plants and speeding up their growth. This experiment has also produced the first evidence ever that suggest that “experienced intenders,” or people well trained in the power of intentions, have more powerful results than their less educated or trained counterparts.
The latest study in the Intention Experiment demonstrates that a group as small as one hundred participants is powerful enough to have a significant impact on the growth of seeds and seedlings more than 7000 miles away; however, when a group of “experienced intenders” participated the growth of the seeds experienced an even more significant growth spurt. The study involved four different target seeds. An audience of intenders was shown a photo of one of the seeds and asked to send an intention to the seeds to enjoy enhanced growth and greater health for the duration of a full ten minutes. The scientists participating in the experiment were not informed of which seed was chosen to be the recipient of the well wishers. As soon as the ten-minute duration was completed, the scientists planted all four sets of seeds and too regular measurements during the following weeks. This experiment was conducted with four different audiences in four different geographical locations all with varying degrees of intense mental focus training. After analyzing the data from all four trials, the scientists discovered that in each experiment, the seeds that were the recipient of the good intentions sprouted significantly earlier and grew significantly longer that the control seeds. Interestingly, the most significant growth of all occurred when a group of experienced healers (all members of Healing Touch International) participated.
The study has found that intention seems to work best when the subject matter is sent very specific instructions. In this case, the instructions were for the seeds to sprout a certain number of inches by a certain date.
So, our thoughts DO matter. Our thoughts create our reality, careful what you wish for!
