energy and back. Motoyama feels that if further research substantiates his findings, then
the Law of Conservation of Energy, as one of the basic foundation stones of modern
physics, will have to be revised.
The verification of an energy at the psychic plane which, though of unknown source
and substance, can influence matter, has been long claimed by yogis. It is also thought to
be the basis of healing and of all sciences in which mind is used to control matter. Yogis
even state that the world is a manifestation of mind, a view which is now being
supported more and more by physicists, especially those working with the subatomic
particles that make up all of matter and which lie midway between matter and pure
energy (prana).
Motoyama states, "I feel that the continuation of research into the nature of psi
energies, by many others as well as myself, will lead to considerable change in our views
of matter, of mind and body, of human beings, and of the world itself." (6)
The psychic level
Objective evidence for the existence of the chakras also appears to have been found
by kinesiologist Valerie Hunt aad her associates at UCLA in America. (7) Assisted by
Rosalyn Bruyere, a psychic "aura reader", Hunt used a number of measurements in order
to study the body's field emission when it is being stimulated by deep muscle massage
(Rolfing). This was prompted by an earlier observation that after Rolfing and meditation
there was an increase in the electromyographic baseline.
Hunt and associates utilized electromyographic equipment (EMG) which measures
the steady, low voltage of muscular activity plus several other instruments. Electrodes
were attached to eight sites, including chakra locations such as the crown (sahasrara),
eyebrow center (ajna), throat (vishuddhi), heart (anahata), base of the spine and
acupuncture points on the foot and knee. The sites for the electrodes were in places where
muscle activity was minimal and, therefore, electrical readings would indicate energy
from a different source. The electrodes were placed on the body in consultation with the
"aura reader".
The individual being experimented on was given Rolfing (deep muscle massage),
designed to liberate deeper subconscious tension, and, therefore, theoretically able to
affect chakra activity. As the massage progressed the EMG readings were recorded on
one track of a two-tracked tape recorder. Simultaneously, while isolated in another room
and oblivious to the EMG and subject's reports, Bruyere recorded on the second track her
observations of psychic activity in terms of color change at the various centers. Hunt was
able to question the aura reader via a separate audio system so that no clue as to what the
subject was experiencing or what was going on at the EMG level could be detected by the
psychic.
