Lynne McTaggart, an American author of various self-help books studying the science of spirituality, has been helping to inspire a series of experiments, designed by and carried out at the laboratories of Dr. Fritz Albert Popp at the International Institute of Biophysics in Neuss, Germany and Dr. Gary Schwartz at the University of Arizona’s Laboratory for Advances in Consciousness and Health.

The tests have involved meditators from across the globe placing their intention upon specific living organisms, to see if they could help effect positive change. These tests have been carried out under strict, double-blind, scientific conditions.

The results to date show the positive impacts of intention, although the team need better technology to be able to make firm scientific claims of  the power of intention/prayer/healing.
