Dazzling Scientific & Interactive Evidence of the Power of Intentions
The long-running paradigm of good intentions paving the road to hell has been brilliantly overturned by investigative journalist Lynne McTaggart's new book, THE INTENTION EXPERIMENT. McTaggart provides dazzling evidence of the spectacular power of intentions from a wide variety of peer-reviewed, statistically significant research reports as she takes us on a tour of cutting-edge research currently underway in the relatively new field of consciousness. One of the challenges of studying the mind's effect on matter is that intention demonstrates variable effects depending on the state of the host and the time, place, and manner by which it is initiated, which McTaggart addresses by presenting a number of ways that various types of intentions produce different effects, as well as ways to help ensure better outcomes.

THE INTENTION EXPERIMENT takes us on a journey to discover what, exactly, is meant by 'intention,' and how we can produce results we'll most appreciate. Whereas seasoned meditators can demonstrate remarkable command over their physical processes and remotely influence others, McTaggart describes how anyone can learn to achieve noticeable results. The key to achieving an effective state of intentionality lies in powering up, reaching a state of peak intensity, developing mindfulness, merging with what is to be influenced, being compassionate, and specifically stating an intention. When we follow these instructions after reading a thorough overview of relevant research, we can find it a lot easier to believe that it may be possible for us to send our intentions to far-off places and times.

Some of the more startling facts in THE INTENTION EXPERIMENT are research findings about how our intentions can influence the past, and that athletes who do not physically exercise but only imagine their workouts can increase their muscle strength between 13 and 16 percent. The world's top athletes depend on mental rehearsal to help guarantee their competitive edge, and everyone can see tremendous improvements in our lives by rehearsing specific activities before actually doing them.

High points in THE INTENTION EXPERIMENT include a description of the way: atoms can become entangled and behave as one single giant atom, a heated fullerene molecule can exhibit wavelike behavior in which it interferes with itself, human bodies can act as transmitting and receiving antennas, living things demonstrate awareness of the well-being of other living things around them, biofields change when receiving and sending healing intentions, physical health improves when others send focused healing intentions, different forms of meditation produce strikingly different brain waves, brain waves can be manipulated to initiate transcendent and terrifying experiences, sun and geomagnetic activity influences telepathic and telekinetic abilities, and places and things can become harmoniously aligned with healing intent.

THE INTENTION EXPERIMENT becomes an interactive experience for readers interested in participating in an on-going series of philanthropic and scientific intentionality experiments at: [...]

What is the Science Behind Positive Thinking?
We've all read many books on positive thinking over the years with the understanding that changing our thoughts is the surest path to self-improvement and personal development. But did you know that many experiments in the field of consciousness are proving the power of our thoughts to influence experiments?

In "The Intention Experiment" you will find an in-depth exploration of the scientific basis for positive thinking and the law of attraction. Lynne successfully brings these ideas from the frontiers of New Physics and communicates them in a way that most readers can understand. What you read can open your mind in so many ways and it allows you to expand your awareness about the frontiers of scientific inquiry.

Must read book for anyone interested in the filed of intentionality. Also check out "Nexus: A Neo Novel" a story about overcoming negative thoughts in a psycho-spiritual journey.

An interesting experiment
This book explains the method behind using "The Secret", but it's mainly about a lot of experiments that were done by the author and others. The results are fascinating, and definitely increase one's confidence in what you might call mind over matter (or even magic in the sense of creating miracles in real life, not conjuring). Very interesting.
