Three different types of distant healing were investigated by measurements of subjects who received healing over distances of 300-11000 km under blind or double-blind conditions. The measurements were carried out by using a single square voltage method, near infrared photometry and thermography to observe changes in electroconductivity, blood flow, function of the autonomic nervous system, oxygen metabolism in the brain, and body surface temperature. Amazing effects of distant healing, such as vigorous body movement and changes in BP, electroconductivity and the blood flow related variable, were observed in mental(conscious)-contact type of healing and appeared in synchrony with events which occurred in the healing session1). In two other types of healing, the parasympathetic nerve was excited during distant healing, resulting in calm tranquilized states. A change in temperature distribution was observed in distant healing between New York and Sendai, Japan. When subjects had experienced a vision of light during the distant healing, their brains were observed to be in a stable oxygen supplied state. In certain cases, there seemed to be distant information perception by healers concerning the subjects’ characteristics and physical states.
