THE EFFECT OF INTENTION ON DECREASING ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION UTILIZING INTENTION IMPRINTED DEVICES

Abstract

Two experiments, one double blind, were conducted to explore the effects of intention on anxiety and depression utilizing an Intention-Imprinted Electronic Device (rIED) on adult subjects throughout the Central United States, Canada, and Mexico. Subjects were divided randomly into two groups, with demographic information from each entered on one of two computers. The lIED was imprinted by four experienced meditators with an intention for improved health, decreased anxiety and decreased depression. The intervention group scrolled continuously down a computer screen in the vicinity of the lIED broadcasting the intention. At a separate location, the control group demographics scrolled continuously down a computer screen with no intention. The interventions were conducted at three month and eight month intervals.
