The Power of Prayer

Prayer is powerful when an emotional connection is made between the person who prays and the person prayed for.

Sheri Kaplan was tested HIV-positive more than 15 years ago. Not medicated at all for her illness, she is, nevertheless, in perfect health. The virus has not progressed to AIDS. Why?

Sheri prays and meditates every day; she believes fervently in the power of prayer.

There is much evidence in the scientific world that prayer can effect changes on the material level when a personal and emotional connection is made between the person who prays and the person prayed for. The fundamental catalyst for the power of prayer is connection and this connection can be understood in terms of quantum entanglement and human DNA.

Quantum Entanglement and the Power of Thought

Quantum entanglement is the ability of two particles to be connected even when they are physically apart. It is what Einstein describes as the”spooky” effect exerted by particles upon each other even when they are separated. A feature of quantum physics, this connection has also been demonstrated in human relationships.

In one study termed “The Love Study,” Dean Radin at the Institute of Noetic Sciences demonstrated that a husband watching his wife and sending her loving thoughts (without her knowledge) could change her blood pressure and perspiration rate. During the times her husband was not looking at her, the laboratory graph showed a flat line; when he began staring at her and sending her loving intentions, the graph line spiked and displayed changes in her blood volume. Similar results were reported by three dozen double blind randomized studies conducted at other institutions.

The power of intention and prayer is also demonstrated in an experiment conducted at McGill University under the direction to Professor Bernard Grad. According to Lynne McTaggart, this experiment shows that plants watered by a healer who had a passion for plants fared considerably better than those watered by a depressed psychotic. When researchers examined the water used by these two subjects, they found that the water conditioned by positive intention from the healer was substantially different in its molecular structure than water used without positive intent by the depressed psychotic. Somehow the belief systems of these two men have changed the profile of the material world.

Human DNA and Quantum Entanglement

Further biological evidence of quantum entanglement in human relationship is provided by Gregg Braden in “The Science of Peace and the Power of Prayer.” He reports on experiments that show a strong connection between human DNA and matter.

In one experiment conducted by the Institute of HeartMath, scientists placed human placental DNA in separate vials which were then handed to individual researchers trained in ways of emanating emotions. Some were trained to feel gratitude, love and appreciation; others were trained to feel anger, fear and frustration. What the researchers discovered was that the DNA changed its shape according to the feelings of the researchers. DNA handled by positive researchers relaxed and became longer in strands; DNA handled by negative researchers tightened up, even reversing or switching off their genetic codes.

The experiment was followed up by testing HIV positive patients where it was discovered that feelings of love and gratitude created in these patients immune resistance 300,000 times stronger than that in subjects who did not experience these feelings.

Experiments like this explain why Sheri Kaplan remains to this day AIDS-free. The power of prayer goes beyond mere consolation; it is the power of a universe connected by coherence and love.
