Indian Journal of Traditional Knowledge Vol. 7(3), July 2008, pp. 405-409 Effect of emotional culturing session on random event generator Mohan Tewani*, Nagarathna R & Nagendra HR Swami Vivekananda Yoga Anusandhana Samsthana, 19 Eknath Bhavan, Gavipuram circle, Kempegowda Nagar, Bangalore 560019, Karnataka Received 23 February 2006; revised 30 December 2007 Thirty females in the age group 18-50 yrs participated in the study to find out the effect of Emotion Culturing Session (ECS) on the Random Event Generator (REG) compared to a Random Thinking (RT) session. The pre- and post- session recordings on REG without intent lasted for 10 minutes, while the ECS and RT sessions lasted for 30 minutes. The number of episodes in which the REG could be significantly influenced (mean value > 101.00 indicative of p < 0.05) showed highly significant increase in the ‘pre’ verses ‘during’ data of ECS compared to RT sessions. These results indicate a distinct possibility of enhancement of the power of psycho-kinesis through emotions culturing sessions (ECS). This is in tune with the findings of field REG trials in which several REG instruments in different parts of the world have recorded significant influence on REG. Keywords: Emotions culturing session, Random thinking, Random event generator, Psycho-kinesis IPC Int. Cl. 8 : A61P31/00, A99Z Modern Science is in a turning point 1,2 . The paradigm shift from matter based to consciousness based approach is becoming inevitable 3 . Quantum physicists, dealing with electrons and fundamental particles know that the role of an observer in influencing the behavior of these particles 4 . Influence of mind on matter has been a phenomenon in vogue from times immemorial in India. Pataïjali in his Yoga süträs, has evolved a systematic the mind 3 . Such capacities are found in the higher states of consciousness achieved by either of the four streams of yoga, namely Räja yoga, Bhakti yoga, Jïäna yoga & Karma yoga. Often this has been the greatest attraction for people at large all over the world to take to the path of yoga with all seriousness & commitment. They even go to Himalayan peaks to meet such yoga masters 1,5 . In recent times, the research investigations from various top universities of United States, Research Institutions have been summarised and even endorsed by the Association of the Magicians of America that Uri Geller had the powers to bend metal objects by the power of his mind 6 . It is believed that everyone has such powers at different levels and will manifest than at times 7 . While appropriate and critical comments about the authenticity of such experiments continue among the hard core scientists, some researchers at Princeton University set up an Anomalies group and developed the REG (Random Event Generator) as a tool to examine such phenomena 3 . Their extensive research over the past 3 decades has confirmed such possibilities that each individual has a degree of psycho-kinesis 8 . REG has become the most authentic instrument for psycho-kinesis investigations accepted by the parapsychologists. In the study conducted during August 2001-September 2003 on measuring consciousness fields using REG, the researchers carried out a study on 5 sections 9 . These are standardization; the effect of an individual on the unit with and without intent; the effect of groups, collectively on the unit with and without intent; a study of ‘collective consciousness’ where groups of people gathered for a common purpose (field REG trials). These trials confirmed the findings of the Anomalies group of a distinct possibility of measuring psychokinetic power by REG. However the following studies showed no significant changes in their capacity to influence REG; a study on pairs of empathic individuals as to whether one individual can influence the other when both are attempting to influence their REGs; and the effect of relaxation techniques. __________ *Corresponding author
