Time to sense biofield (Prana) experiences between hands: A preliminary single blinded randomised controlled trial

Abstract

Aims: There is minimal research on the duration of biofield experiences. This preliminary study used the experiential learning practice of Master Choa Kok Sui's hands sensitisation to determine the duration to experience biofield sensations in between hands and to find the relationship between learning style preferences and biofield sensations. Methods: This randomised controlled, single blinded trial included 88 male and female pre-service teachers, aged 22.8 ±1.2 years. Learning Style questionnaire, Ruler drop test, and Six Letter Cancellation tests were administered to participants and randomised into two groups. The experimental (hands facing each other as introduced by Master Choa Kok Sui) and sham (hands facing opposite) groups practiced hands sensitisation. A semi-structured questionnaire was provided to gather information about biofield sensations and the time it took to experience these sensations between the hands. Results: All (100%) of the participants in the experimental group (N=44) and 29.55% in the sham group (N=13) reported experiencing biofield sensations. A significant difference was found in, magnetic, temperature variation, and pain sensations between experimental and sham groups (X 2= 59.20, p
