Product Description

Ever wondered if your intentions, prayers or wishes have a real, calculable effect on the world? Here, from Lynne McTaggart, groundbreaking author of 'The Field', comes riveting accounts of scientific investigations and real case histories with evidence that we are all connected and our intentions can be harnessed as a collective force for good. For the last 40 years renegade scientists, experimenting with the limits of quantum physics, have made seemingly impossible discoveries. 1966: a lie-detector expert accidentally discovers that plants can read thoughts. 1982: meditating Buddhist monks in the Himalayas turn their bodies into a human furnace. 1994: a psychologist's experiments reveal a stream of light flowing from healers during healing. These events form part of an extraordinary scientific story and revolutionary discovery - that thought is a thing that affects other things. In The Intention Experiment, Lynne McTaggart, author of the international bestseller The Field, joins forces with a team of international, renowned scientists to test the effects of focused group intention on scientifically quantifiable targets - animal, plant and human.The Intention Experiment is a truly revolutionary book that invites you, the reader, to take part in the greatest intention experiment in history. The results of McTaggart's 'global laboratory' started with the focused intention that made a geranium leaf glow to evidence to show that group intention is powerful enough to affect targets more than 5000 miles away and may even affect global warming. These remarkable results prove human thought and intention has the power to focus our lives, heal our illnesses, clean up our communities and improve the planet. This book also shows you how to harness that power to make changes in your own life.

Review
Previous praise for The Field: "This important book!makes a good case that we are on the verge of another revolution in our understanding of the universe-perhaps even greater than the one that heralded the Atomic Age." Arthur C. Clarke "Fascinating, provocative, and highly readable...One of the most thought-provoking reads of [the year]." The Ecologist

Customer Reviews

A good follow-up to her Best-seller
Yet more evidence that we live in a 'field' (grid, bubble, whatever!) of consciousness, and consistent with quantum physics; our minds (our intentions) are creating reality: indeed, all our thoughts are doing this whether being scattered unconsciously or channeled intentionally.

Gary Bate author of 'We are here to know ourselves'

I wish it worked, but it doesn't!
Having followed these sorts of books for over 10 years and tried to put them into practice, I am somewhat wise to how they are actually just a load of lies and don't work in reality. This book offers some half baked so-called scientific ideas to back up what is probably a commercial conspiracy but they have no bearing in reality. I would sincerely doubt the authenticity of the so-called "evidence" behind this book. The proof is in the practice, and I can vouch that it doesn't work!

The Real Deal
Lynne McTaggart is an award-winning journalist and a best-selling author of "The Field". Although not a trained scientist, she has an uncanny ability to bring complex quantum theory to a practical language that makes sense. "The Intention Experiment" expands on the concepts of purposeful consciousness she introduced in her previous book. Unlike other works that simply offer "New Age" fluff to entice a public hungry for hope, "The Intention Experiment" grounds the contention that thoughts have an innate power to affect living organisms on impeccable double-blind studies conducted by eminent scientists. The ability to change the rate of growth in cancer cells by guided imagery, the effects of distant prayer on t cell count of HIV+ patients, and how blessed water can change its molecular structure, are only a few of the fascinating topics McTaggart covers in her book. Readers can learn about the power of mind-body without having to question the legitimacy of her sources.
"The Intention Experiment" is one of the best books in the genre of what is known as "intention science".
