There’s a handful of incredible organization closing the gap between science and spirituality, one of which is the Consciousness and Healing Initiative (CHI). CHI is a collaborative accelerator of scientists, health practitioners, innovators, educators, and artists working together to explore consciousness and healing practices.
I sat down with the founding director of CHI, Shamini Jain PhD, who’s dedicated her life towards uncovering the science behind consciousness and its role in inner healing. We explore the science behind little-understood concepts such as Qi-gong, Reiki, Prana, and more.
What You’ll Learn
- The story behind the scientific collective, Consciousness and Healing Initiative (CHI)
- A transformative Reiki experienced Shamini experienced early in her life that springboarded her into the study of inner healing
- Why our physical health being linked to our thoughts and emotions is a relatively new idea in Western science
- How the biofield (an interpenetrating set of energetic fields) guides our physical, mental and emotional health.
- How “electroceuticals” or electro stimulation technology harnesses the biofield in order to improve various aspects of our health and wellness
- Emerging technology to measure and analyze subtle energy
- The role intention plays in health & well being
- The role emotions play in health & well being
- The Placebo effect and its role in various alternative medicine practices
