Proving the Patient-Doctor Brain Bond, Telepathically
Proving the Patient-Doctor Brain Bond, Telepathically
By Mary Sawyers, Ivanhoe Health Correspondent

PORTLAND, Ore. (Ivanhoe Newswire) -- You’ve heard of telepathy -- it’s when you can communicate with someone just by thinking about it. Now, a researcher in Seattle says her studies show that, at least for some people, it works.

Leanna Standish, ND, Ph.D., a neuroscientist at Bastyr University in Seattle, calls the phenomenon "distant neural signaling." She agrees it sounds kind of whacky, and she can’t explain why it works with some people and not others, but after several experiments, she’s convinced the phenomenon is real.

In one study, Standish recruited 30 pairs of volunteers who knew each other and in some cases were related. The pairs spent 10 minutes meditating together and were then sent to separate rooms 30 feet apart. The "sending" partner watched checkerboard patterns flicker on and off on a video monitor, while the "receiving" partner watched a static pattern. Both of the partners were hooked up to electroencephalograms (EEGs) to measure their brain activity.

When the pattern flickered, it triggered increased brain activity in the "sender." "What we were trying to see was if the increased brain activity in the sender would correspond with increased activity in the receiver," says Standish...cont'd

1. Thank you Dover. FWIW, I tried that with my own Doctor.
Despite my repeated requests for more holistic choices, pills were always her first and only option for many of my health issues. When I was fed-up, and on the verge of changing doctors, I decided to try a telepathic "request".

It the midst of my meditation, I envisioned a wierd yet beautiful stylized bird, standing before an ancient circle of stones(!), facing a "Council" of robed, masked figures, all much larger birds. In the center of this Ceremonial circle was a brilliant blue flame. I, a bird, stepped to the circle, plucked out a feather from my side, and placed it into the flame, and stepped back, bowing. NOT my usual meditation, to say the least.

A figure emerged from the shadows -another exquisitely beautiful, robed, masked bird - and placed its hand over the flame. The charred feather rose, the bird clasped it, then waved her hand over the feather, and it was completely restored! The bird handed me the feather, bowed, and retreated. I stuck the feather back in my side, and retreated, still bowing.

I saw my Dr. again recently and her attitude toward me has changed. I am now in the midst of a health issue that is expected (at this time) to require one and possibly more surgeries. The difference is - THIS TIME - the M.D. Surgeon she is sending me to is A HOLISTIC PRACTITIONER!!!! So, for now, at least - I have NEW options!

Seems this worked - for me! :bounce:

Thanks for the interesting thread!
