You may be intrigued by the work of scientists at PEAR, the Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research Laboratory. Since 1979 these scientists have been collecting and studying huge amounts of data from their REG (electronic Random Event Generators) testing their notion that human consciousness influences physical systems. A REG is placed in the vicinity of a gathering of people who are engaged with each other in a focused way toward a mutual goal or are engaged in certain unfolding events. Many experiments have documented that focused intention, such as through visualization or prayer, impacts the course of events or the quality of the "energy field" around the persons or around their targets of focus.

        That our intentions, dreams, thoughts, quality of consciousness, prayers, have an impact on the course of events in our lives and those of others we focus on probably is supported by your own experiences or learning about the reported experiences of others both living today and throughout all history intuitively or through experience you may also believe that our emotional and physical pains are a result of disruptions and blocks in the energy flow throughout our nervous systems and energy fields. Many ancient and modern practices which do not invade the body as do surgery and rnedication, such as acupuncture, Chiropractic, and t'ai chi, provide relief and a feeling of well being and vitality. These traditions would agree with the idea that our happiness and emotional/spiritual health is not dependent so much on external circumstances but rather on our internal states. Negative events do trigger pain, certainly. But can you ever remember a time when everything was going well, no problems in your living situation, and you still felt depressed or anxious? Or maybe a time when you had good reason to get depressed or upset and were surprised about how well you handled the situation arid felt OK or even good? Indeed, our internal states and health of our bodies' energy system call the shots as to how we feel.
