David Leibson

Jill Blakeway, an energy healer, delves into the intriguing concept of biofield coherence, sharing compelling experiences where healing intention impacts physiology. David Leibson discusses groundbreaking findings from the MD Anderson study revealing how energy healing can slow pancreatic cancer growth. They touch on fascinating topics like heart rate synchronization during healing, the unique brain changes induced by Reiki, and the possibility of mitochondria acting as cellular antennas. This thought-provoking conversation explores the science behind human connection and the nuances of nonlocal healing.

ANECDOTE

Actor’s Rapid Recovery After Healing Session

Tim Daly reported his legs vibrating uncontrollably during a healing session and recovered within 7–10 days.
Jill Blakeway and researchers later recorded synchronized heart rhythms between them during a lab session.

INSIGHT

Internal Coherence As Healing Anchor

Jill Blakeway described becoming internally coherent when healing, aligning heart and brain rhythms into ordered waves.
She argues patients can calibrate to a healer's coherent biofield and return to homeostasis.

Reiki Shows Measurable Neural And Clinical Effects

University of Utah/Harvard trial found Reiki reduced knee pain ~32% versus 20% for a sham 'Fakie' treatment.
Reiki produced distinct brain and somatosensory activity and higher reports of boundary dissolution than controls.

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.
