THE LARGEST MIND OVER MATTER EXPERIMENT IN HISTORY

The Intention Experiment is a series of scientifically controlled, web-based experiments testing the power of intention to change the physical world.

Thousands of volunteers from 30 countries around the world have participated in Intention Experiments thus far.
 

Lynne McTaggart, architect of the experiments, is working with leading physicists and psychologists from the University of Arizona, Princeton University, the International Institute of Biophysics, Cambridge University and the Institute of Noetic Sciences.
These experiments are being run at McTaggart’s seminars and conferences and on the web, and have produced extraordinary results.

This is not about sending intentions to make a million dollars.
 
The targets are only philanthropic: healing wounds, helping children with attention deficit or patients with Alzheimer’s, counteracting pollution and global warming.

Besides the big Intention Experiments, this website runs informal Intention of the Week for people or situations with illnesses or problems.


The pilot experiment

In the pilot experiment, McTaggart asked a group of 16 meditators based in London to direct their thoughts to four remote targets in Dr. Popp’s laboratory in Germany: two types of algae, a plant and a human volunteer.

The meditators were asked to attempt to lower certain measurable biodynamic processes. Popp and his team discovered significant changes in all four targets while the intentions were being sent, compared to times the meditators were ‘resting’.


Future Intention Experiments
 
The mini-Gaia project.
An ecosphere with an artificially raised temperature – a little like global warming. Can we lower the temperature with our thoughts?
The Germination Intention Experiment.
Can our group intention help barley seeds to germinate early and grow more healthily?
The Water Experiment.
Can we change the pH of polluted water?
How humans ‘feel’ intention.
Does a person sent intention by thousands around the world ‘feel’ it in different parts of the body?
The Crime Rate Experiment.
Can intention lower the crime rate of a major city?
The Hospital Study.
Can we lower mortality at a hospital?
The Attention Deficit Study.
Can we help children to concentrate more?
