We officially launched on January 14 during a Livestream event that was watched by more than 25,000 people in 153 countries. The primary conclusion – that the mind has the power to influence biology – is powerful, and we will continue to support groundbreaking scientific research on the biological and physiological effects of meditation on the human body. Thank you for being with us from the beginning. We are grateful for your support of our mission! Rewatch InnerScience’s presentation during the Livestream here.

The Quantum Study

QUANTUM (QUest to ANalyze a Thousand hUmans Meditating) launched on Marco Island, where we collected multiple pieces of data (i.e., biometrics, health surveys, and bio-specimens) from 978 meditators. The results of this study will allow us the ability to define broad implications for meditation and health at multiple levels. The data set is large, but the research team is excited at the possibilities, and will report on these findings at their virtual meetings throughout the year.

Next Up:
The Genesis Study

At a week-long meditation retreat in San Diego in late April, the Patel Laboratory will launch a series of new studies to understand the impact of the mind on genetics. We will explore how the mind appears to change the body’s DNA expression and will attempt to explain what on the surface appears to be responsible for spontaneous and miraculous changes in the body.
