In Session 2 of the Consciousness & Healing Series, IONS Chief Scientist Dean Radin and Director of Research Helané Wahbeh review a series of experiments that seek to better understand how intention influences our physical world. Looking at several domains – including the food we eat, plant growth, and health and healing – we’ll see how our consciousness may impact material reality. We will also share an exploration designed to engage intention to improve our immune systems and our health.
