S2E9: Energy Healing Part 2: Consciousness at Work in the Body

Part 2 of our episodes on energy healing looks at a larger question at the center of this season: if healing involves more than biology alone, what type of communication is actually taking place between people. Scientists are beginning to measure shifts in physiology, coherence, and brain activity that suggest the body may respond to intention and connection in ways we have not fully understood. These patterns appear across many different settings, from controlled trials to personal accounts where people feel changes that cannot be traced to touch or suggestion. In this episode, we explore these ideas through real examples, including the synchronized heart rhythms recorded between actor Tim Daly and healer Jill Blakeway and the return of phantom sensations during healing sessions with veteran Rustin Hughes. We also look at new research from Harvard and the University of Utah that finds Reiki producing effects that standard explanations cannot easily account for. And for the first time, we share early results from a major MD Anderson study showing energy healing slowing the growth of pancreatic cancer cells in dishes and in mice, research designed to rule out the placebo effect entirely. Together these developments suggest that healing may involve a form of information exchange, carried through systems of the body that science is only beginning to understand.

Exciting update: As of April 2026, the scientific journal Cancer Medicine published a landmark study from MD Anderson Cancer Center showing energy healing slows pancreatic cancer growth and spread in pre-clinical research. This rigorous four-year study at one of the world’s top cancer institutes found that biofield therapy reliably reduced cancer metastasis by more than 50%, and influenced key biological systems, in cells and animals.
