I sat with her in the teaching room while the group gathered in the dining room where they would then ‘send’ their intentions to Rebecca. I happened to have my heart monitor with me, a device called ‘ emWave’, by Heartmath, so Ann suggested we connect one of the participants to the device and then the rest of the group would ‘send’ loving and kind intentions from another room.Īnother of the participants (Rebecca) volunteered to be connected to the device. One of the participants (Ann) suggested that we try our own experiment, given that by this stage of the course, the group had emotionally bonded really well. We discussed how these correlations tend to be strongest when two subjects (people) in an experiment share an emotional bond. These experiments note correlations between the neural states of people who are separated by a distance that is, as one person’s state changes, it seems to correlate with a change in state of the other person at precisely the same time. We discussed experiments that seemed to show the connections using MRI or EEG. On the third evening of the course we (the participants and I) were having a discussion about the interconnectedness of life and discussing some of the scientific evidence of it. As well as mainstream topics like the placebo effect, meditation, visualisation, emotional contagion, the effects of compassion and kindness on the brain, heart, and inflammatory process, I also cover more ‘out there’ subjects. I host the event at my favourite holistic centre, Lendrick Lodge, in the Scottish countryside. I was running my annual 5-day ‘Integrating Science’ event, where I show people how to integrate science into their own practices. In June, I unexpectedly participated in such an experiment. Numerous studies have also show correlations between the physiological or neurological states of two people even if they are separated in space. Quantum Physics has shown us entanglement, where the state of one particle is correlated with the state of another, irrespective of distance (and now time, it seems). It’s an experiment in interconnectedness – how we are connected through space. But also, from time-to-time, I write on more ‘out there’ topics, like synchronicities, the nature of consciousness, and interconnectedness, as I have covered all of these subjects in some of my 8 books. You know that I write mostly on subjects like the mind-body connection, self-love, my dog Oscar who passed away last year, as well as kindness and compassion and the science of how they affect our health.
