A short YouTube interview clip (Vishen Lakhiani and a guest) exploring whether people can influence others at a distance by sending positive thoughts. The speakers offer a personal anecdote of visualizing ‘love hearts’ producing an immediate behavioral response, and cite laboratory work (William Broad / San Antonio Mind Science Institute) measuring synchronized physiological changes in receivers when senders intentionally thought positive thoughts at scheduled times.
The Rumi said this about lovers. The Rumi said, I can close my eyes and talk to you in a thousand silent ways. And what I believe Rumi was saying is that we can connect with another human being through time and space by thinking about them. Now, there is now some interesting scientific evidence for this, like overwhelming scientific evidence that if you think positive thoughts about someone, they are biology ships.
I did it with my husband when we got into a fight once, I was like, all right, let me try this. So we got into a fight, stupid fight. He goes to his office, I go to my office. And I was like, all right, we could do the same old, same old, or I could try something. And so I did this thing. I sound so kooky, but I visualized, like, love hearts coming from my heart and going into his heart. And I saw him sitting in his chair at his desk, and I would send them right into his heart. And. And my husband got out of his chair, came into my office, didn't say a word, just kissed me on the cheek and then left. And that's not him, right. So I know all of this is possible, which is kind of weird because it kind of makes it seem like you can control people. But.
But I. I don't think it's that. I don't think it's that.
So it's influencing good. It's good energy is what it is. But I know someone could interpret it the other way.
So the. The William Broad studies at the San Antonio Mind Science Institute. They hooked up receivers to 19 machines that measured all of these different biological responses. Skin resistance, heart rate, breathing rate, brain activity. And then there would be senders in a different room. And at a specific time, they would tell the senders think good thoughts about the assigned receiver. So maybe at 1:53pm the senders had to send positive thoughts to the receiver. And exactly that moment, the. These machines would show a shift. The person might get more relaxed. Their heart rate might show a healthier pattern. Their brain activity might slow down to the alpha level at exactly the point someone was sending them good vibes. And so I believe we're all connected. I believe that we are all connected in a beautiful way.
