The second of three deep dives into the IONS Energy Healing Pilot Study
What role does the heart play in energy healing?
An innovative component of IONS recent pilot study of energy medicine modalities was the synchronized collection of heart waves (electrocardiography, or ECG) of both the participant and the energy medicine practitioner. As part of our effort to understand what makes energy medicine work, this particular line of data collection allows us to analyze the results in unique ways that we hope will help to illuminate the mechanisms of action for energy healing modalities.
Join Drs. Helané Wahbeh and Arnaud Delorme as they share the results of this pilot study, including how participants’ heart waves changed from the beginning to the end of the energy medicine session and the similarities of participant and practitioner signals.
