Course Description


This eight week academic course explores the phenomena and scientific evidence for energy healing and psychokinesis.  Some theories present these as different expressions of the same phenomena.  This proposal will be explored in this course.

Energy healing encompasses many techniques including laying on hands, reiki, qigong, healing touch, esoteric healing, and many, many more. Research on healing includes an observation of the phenomena and measurements of the effectiveness of these techniques on people, animals, plants and other organic matter. What does the scientific evidence indicate related to energy healing?

Psychokinesis, PK, or Mind-Matter-Interaction all describe the same phenomena.  Can people affect physical objects with only their thoughts or intentions?  This course will explore examples of macro and micro psychokinesis and discuss the scientific research that has been done to understand how these phenomena might work and what psychological factors might cause people to demonstrate PK.

This course will commit 4 weeks to each topic and explore the research and theories that discuss the nature of and evidence for energy healing and PK.  Weekly class broadcasts will be supplemented with on online discussion forum where students can chat about the topics, their own experiences, and the research studies discussed in the classes.


When: Live broadcasts once a week or watch the class recordings at your convenience.

Where: This is an ONLINE COURSE, so you can participate anywhere you have an internet connection.
