Energy has become the word on everyone's lips. Every man and his car waiting in a petrol ration queue is talking alternative energy, every housewife with a home heating problem is discussing natural energy over the back fence. It might be love that makes the world go round, but as the world's activities threaten to grind to a stop, it dawns that love is just another form of energy. Frightened governments are putting their money on atomic energy research while private enterprise is backing investigations into everything from chicken droppings (they produce methane gas) to windmills to solar energy. And psychic energy isn't far behind as it has been already known to Indian Yogis & one of them has been Shri Rohit Anand From New Delhi who has learnt to use this psychis energy & developed powers of telepathy & psychokinesis.

Such fringe phenomena as telepathy, psychic healing, psychokinesis (PK: the moving of matter by mind-power), dowsing, telegnosis (psychic reading of the history and associations of objects) and other paranormal events have become almost respectable and are receiving serious attention from the more adventurous members of the international science community. Hard-headed scientists in the USA, UK, Germany, Holland, Scandinavia and Australia are taking the lead from the most hard- headed of the lot, the scientists of the Soviet Union - many of whom are financed by their governments. Extrasensory perception has emerged from dim Victorian back - parlours to hit the bright lights of the scientific laboratories.

Called bio electronics in some circles, paraphysics in others, this new area of research is generally known as parapsychology and has engaged some of the finest scientific minds in the world. In Czechoslovakia it is known as psychotronics and one of the leading Czech researchers is Dr. Zdenek Rejdak, whose association with Swami Satyananda was confirmed by his stay at the Bihar School of Yoga during the early seventies. Speaking in Japan at the fifth annual conference of the International Association for Religion and Parapsychology (Nov. 1976), Dr. Rejdak defined psychotronics (and thus parapsychology) as:

"the science which, in an interdisciplinary fashion, studies the distant interactions between living organisms and their environment, internal and external, and the energetic processes underlying these manifestations (in order) to supplement and widen man's understanding of the laws of nature." Parapsychologists are no longer concerned to prove that psychic (psi) phenomena really take place, that they are not merely clever tricks arranged with mirrors, bits of string and magnets. Researchers have! established that psi events are genuine happenings and have focused their efforts on finding out how they are brought about. Investigations have revealed that psi phenomena are energy interactions or manipulations of energy. However, the kind of energy involved is something of a mystery, for it is not presently included within the framework of modern science. This psychic energy has been found to affect a whole range of laboratory recording equipment from voltmeters and magnetometers to Geiger counters. However, the fact that these instruments are sensitive to this new energy does not mean that it is necessarily the same kind of emanation these machines were built to record. Just because it registers on a Geiger counter, for instance, does not prove that psychic energy is identical with atomic radiation. That it also registers on devices selectively sensitive to electricity and magnetism indicates that psi energy might be a kind of composite energy that includes, but extends beyond, the presently known range of electromagnetic radiation. Most researchers agree with the Soviets that psychic energy "may have origin in electrical activity or electromagnetic fields, but the nature of the energy is entirely different."

The generally accepted hypothesis at the moment is that psychic energy is biologically based. That is, it originates in, or is closely associated with, the body and encompasses both physical and mental energy. Thus it is most widely known as bioenergy.

There is a considerable support for this hypothesis, gathered from the monitoring of the physiological changes experienced by psychics during laboratory tests of paranormal events. For instance, as part of his usual experimental procedure, Dr. Grenady Sergeyev took readings of the brain waves, heartbeat and pulse rate of Neyla Mikhailova during her numerous demonstrations of psychokinesis. He found that while Mikhail-ova was causing objects to move without touching them, his instruments recorded a tremendous vibration throughout her body and its surrounding force field. Her heart and brain waves also pulsed in unison with this energy vibration, indicating that the energy Mikhailova used in her psychic feats is intimately connected with her whole body. Reports go on to state that: "After doing these tests, Mrs. Mikhailova was utterly exhausted. There was almost no pulse. She'd lost close on four pounds in half an hour. The EEG (brain wave pattern) showed intense emotional excitement. There was high blood sugar and the endocrine system was disturbed. The whole organism was weakened as if from a tremendous stress reaction. She had lost the sensation of taste, had pains in her arms and legs, couldn't co-ordinate and felt dizzy." At one time, after making a seven hour film of her abilities, Mikhailova was temporarily blind.

This evidence leaves no doubt that psychic or bio-energy is from the body and is the same energy that activates every aspect of the metabolism, from the functioning of the glands, to the brain, to the heart. It is the power behind the emotions and the operation of the senses. Other Soviet investigators have recorded changes in brain wave patterns which coincide with the reception of telepathic signals, and researchers in the USA have shown that the volume of blood in the body alters during telepathic interactions. Sister Dr. Justa Smith, in America, demonstrated that psi energy affects enzymes, and Dr. A. Puharich has documented the influence of telepathy on the chemical activity of the nervous system. There is a large amount of such data pointing towards the understanding of psi energy as whole body as well as mind energy.

From the USA, Dr. Andrija Puharich reports that after an experiment in receiving telepathic messages, his subject Eileen Garrett suffered the following symptoms: a brief

but severe attack of abdominal cramps followed by three closely timed evacuations of watery stool; a blood pressure drop of 25 points; slowing of the pulse from a norm of 99 to 66; flushed complexion; pinpoint pupils and brightly shining eyes. After the cramps passed, Mrs. Garrett reported feelings of relaxation and exhilaration accompanied by great mental clarity. Two further experiments demonstrated an unusually high degree of telepathic sensitivity at the time. Once again we can see that psi energy is widespread throughout the body. However, these symptoms specifically point to great arousal of the parasympathetic nervous system. Activation of this network results in a slowing of the heartbeat, dilation of blood vessels (causing the skin to flush, eyes to shine), contraction of the pupils, and greater motility of the gastro-intestinal tract. It is also accompanied by feelings of relaxation, well-being and even pleasure. Thus psi phenomena are not only connected with the nervous system, and its associated glands and organs, but would also seem to be powered by the same energy that powers the body processes.
