Scientists Find the Mind Has Power to Manipulate Matter
A groundbreaking new experiment shows the power of the mind to influence matter.
The Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS), founded in 1973 by astronaut Edgar Mitchell, has for decades been at the forefront of scientific research into psychic phenomena and the nature of consciousness. Much of their study has been around psychophysical phenomena or the ways in which our mind or consciousness affects the physical world of matter. In a new experiment, scientists added a novel element from the world of quantum physics which may prove to be quite significant.
Dr. Dean Radin the chief scientist at IONS and the head of the study said, “It has been said that there are strange things associated with quantum mechanics that are very similar to strange things associated with psychic phenomena.”
“The two things in quantum mechanics that are often called ‘weird’ because they’re strange, involve a property called non-locality, which means that objects even though they’re separated in space, are somehow still connected. This is what Einstein called ‘spooky action at a distance,’ and it took roughly 60 years for scientists to figure out ways of telling whether or not things really were connected in a non-local way. So, now we not only know that is a fact but there are technologies being used that use this property of non-locality.”
“So that’s one thing, the second thing in quantum mechanics is the notion that the observer simply by observing a system can change its behavior,” he said.

“There are some kinds of systems that can be set up, like optical systems, where if you observe where a photon goes in the optical system, then the photon’s behavior will change. And it’s not because you’re interfering with the photon, it has something to do with extracting information out of the optical system,” Radin said.
In this latest experiment, researchers explored this observer effect by setting up an optical system that participants observed for the first time a set of non-local, entangled photons.
“When you look at the history of studies on mind-matter interaction, the mental part is always non-local in the sense that your mind is going to influence something at a distance. But if you look at the kinds of targets that have been studied—and it’s a very wide range, everything from photons and electrons, to water to human behavior, to random events, a huge range—all of those targets are local,” Radin said.
“This new experiment involving entangled photons is, by definition, a non-local matter target. It’s hunks of matter, or energy in this case, with photons that are non-locally connected, we used a device that actually produced about 1,000 entangled photons per second, and so we’re interested in is: does a non-local mind interact with non-local matter.”
In the experiment, participants were instructed to focus their attention on a computer screen, on which were projected entangled photons, which appeared as a line graph. When the line appeared they were told to try to make it go up with their mind, and when it disappeared to withdraw their attention. The degree to which the participants were able to affect the photons, was a measure of the degree to which they were affecting the strength of the photon’s entanglement. The results, while preliminary, were compelling.
“So, entanglement is not an all-or-one phenomenon, there’s a spectrum,” Radin said. “So a very weak entanglement, if you just go below the weakness, it’s classical particles—there are two particles, which are completely separate—the moment they become entangled, they share properties (even though they’re separate). So the degree to which they share those properties, the strength of it, can be modulated. So we wanted to see, could the mind modulate non-local entanglements. So to make a very long story short, the answer is yes. What we found was that when people are asked to focus their attention towards the entangled photons, we found the entanglement strength increased.”
What are the implications of this finding?
“This actually has interesting pragmatic consequences, because, in technologies that are using entanglement, the fidelity of the entanglement is very important. It’s difficult to maintain entanglement, it’s kind of a fragile phenomenon.” Radin said. “So, when you’re creating quantum computing or quantum cryptography, or a range of many other types of quantum-based technologies, a lot of effort is used to maintain the quantumness of the connections. Well, if it turns out that simply focusing your mind towards these quantum objects maintains the fidelity, especially entanglement fidelity, that is doing what is necessary in order to make these things work. So you could project then that, if we get really good at this kind of task, then we can make quantum computers work better simply by focusing our mind towards it.”
Beyond these potentially revolutionary applications, there’s an even greater implication of this research.
“When your intention is focused on something, it’s not just in your head, aspects of the world are changing,” Radin said. “So the most interesting thing about this experiment is that the aspect of the world that changed, we think, has to do with entanglement, which you can think of it as a very deep element of the fabric of reality.”
“Current ideas within physics are that our notions of space and time themselves, those things are not fundamentals as we already know from relativity theory, but they actually emerge out of entanglement, so entanglement seems to be a more fundamental way of thinking about the nature of reality and that gives rise to space and time. So, if your mind can influence entanglement, it means that you can warp space and time itself.”
Further investigations are forthcoming and could lead, not only to dramatic technological advancements but to a deeper understanding of the very fabric of reality.

What Is 'Vibrate High' and How to Raise Your Vibrational Frequency
Everything in the universe, including our thoughts and emotions, has a vibrational frequency that influences how we feel, act and relate to others. When our vibrational frequency is high, we experience greater well-being, clarity and spiritual connection. In this article we explore what it means to vibrate high, how to identify your current vibrational state and what practices can help you raise your vibration in a sustained way.

What Does It Mean to Vibrate High?
Vibrating high refers to the level of vibrational frequency we emit through our thoughts, emotions and states of consciousness. Just as everything in the universe vibrates, we also project an energetic frequency that influences our perception, our decisions and the reality we co-create. A high vibration manifests through elevated emotions such as love, gratitude, joy, compassion and trust.
The importance of vibrating high lies in its direct impact on our daily experience. A high vibrational frequency favors well-being, enhances inner clarity and attracts people and situations in tune with that energy. On the other hand, a low vibration can generate emotional blockages, conflictive relationships or repetitive patterns that limit our growth. Learning how to vibrate high allows us to take responsibility for our energetic state and transform our lives from the inside out.
Am I Vibrating High or Am I Vibrating Low?
To know if you are vibrating high, observe how you feel physically, mentally and emotionally. People with a high vibrational frequency tend to feel at peace with themselves, face challenges with a positive attitude and cultivate healthy relationships. They also commonly experience synchronicities, creative inspiration and a sense of purpose.
Conversely, when someone vibrates low, emotions such as anxiety, frustration, fear or judgment predominate. The energy feels dense, it is difficult to maintain motivation and everything seems to go uphill. Recognizing if you are vibrating low is fundamental to initiate a change, since raising your vibration is possible with intention, awareness and small daily actions.
Raising Your Vibration: Essential Practices and Habits
Knowing how to raise your vibration does not require drastic changes, but rather incorporating daily habits that strengthen your energy, your presence and your inner connection. These practices help you sustain a high vibrational frequency, cultivate positive emotional states and live with greater coherence and vitality.
- Daily meditation: Dedicating a few minutes to inner silence regulates the nervous system and improves mental clarity. Constant practice allows you to tune in to a higher and more stable vibration.
- Conscious gratitude: Intentionally giving thanks shifts your mental focus and elevates your emotional state. It is one of the fastest ways to raise your vibrational frequency.
- Conscious eating: Eating fresh, natural, nutrient-rich foods sustains your vital energy. Avoiding processed and mindful eating also influences your vibration.
- Body movement (yoga, dance, walking): Moving the body unblocks stagnant energy and promotes inner balance. Activities such as yoga or dancing help to release tension and raise the frequency.
- Listen to high vibrational music: Music has a direct effect on your energy field. Choose sounds that inspire you and connect you to higher states of consciousness.
- Connection with nature: Being in contact with the natural environment harmonizes body and mind. Walking barefoot, breathing fresh air or simply observing the sky restores your energy.
- Creative visualization and affirmations: Using the mind in a positive way transforms your frequency. Visualizing what you desire and repeating affirmations raises your vibration and focuses your intention.
- Laugh, enjoy and surround yourself with positive people: High emotions are contagious. Sharing time with people who nurture you emotionally improves your vibrational state.
- Rest and restful sleep habits: Good sleep allows the body to regenerate and the mind to quiet down. Deep rest sustains a high vibrational frequency in the long term.
What Can You Achieve by Vibrating High?
Maintaining a high vibrational frequency not only improves your internal state, it also transforms the quality of your experiences. When you vibrate high, your energy becomes consistent with opportunities, connections and situations that reflect that same level of well-being. This internal change manifests in specific areas of life, generating a deep and lasting impact.
- Attract money and abundance: A high vibration connects you with the energy of trust and deservingness. This facilitates openness to new economic opportunities and a healthier relationship with giving and receiving.
- Improve relationships and bonds: When your frequency is high, you attract people who are in harmony with your energy. Relationships become more authentic, conscious and enriching.
- Elevate your emotional well-being: Feelings such as peace, joy and gratitude become more frequent and stable. This strengthens your ability to respond to stress and improves your quality of life.
- Connect with your purpose: Vibrating high helps you listen more clearly to your inner voice. This facilitates decisions aligned with what truly inspires you and gives meaning to your path.
- Expand your spiritual awareness: As you raise your frequency, you access states of greater connection with the subtle. This opens the door to experiences of unity, intuition and inner expansion.
The Science Behind Vibrational Frequency
The idea that everything vibrates at a certain frequency is consistent with the principles of modern physics. Matter, energy and even our thoughts and emotions are made up of vibratory fields that manifest at different levels of density and movement. The higher the frequency, the more subtle and expansive its manifestation.
Vibrational frequency is not just a theoretical notion: it has practical implications in everyday life. Studies in neuroscience, psychology and physiology show that positive emotions such as gratitude, joy or compassion generate beneficial effects on the nervous system, strengthen health and favor broader states of consciousness. These emotions, when sustained over time, raise the overall vibration of the body and mind.
In contrast, emotions such as fear, anger or sustained sadness are associated with lower frequencies. These can weaken the immune system, affect mental health and limit our perception of possibilities. Understanding how our vibrational frequency influences our physical, emotional and mental balance allows us to make more conscious choices to cultivate a more coherent and healthy energy.
Vibrational Frequency and Spiritual Development
Raising the vibrational frequency is an essential part of the spiritual growth process. As a higher vibration is sustained, inner perception is expanded and the connection to deeper aspects of the self is strengthened. This inner shift is reflected in greater clarity, a sense of purpose and a life guided by intuition.
A higher frequency acts as a catalyst for spiritual awakening. By letting go of limiting mental and emotional patterns, space opens up to experience a broader reality that transcends ego concerns. From this perspective, spiritual development is not an idealized state, but a gradual process of alignment with higher consciousness.
In addition, when the vibration is high, it is easier to access subtle experiences such as deep meditation, energetic perception or a sense of oneness with all that exists. These experiences are not exclusive to those who follow a formal spiritual practice, but are available to anyone who consciously cultivates their energy. Vibrational frequency, in this sense, is the bridge between the physical plane and the spiritual dimension.
Strategies for Maintaining High Vibration Over the Long Term
Raising your vibration is important, but sustaining it over time is what really transforms your life. This does not mean always being in elevated states, but learning to return to them more quickly and consciously. The key is to cultivate a routine that strengthens your physical, emotional and energetic well-being on a consistent basis.
Setting healthy boundaries, prioritizing self-care and surrounding yourself with uplifting stimuli are essential practices to prevent external factors from draining your energy. It is also essential to regularly review your thoughts, habits and relationships, and make adjustments when necessary. Vibration is not static: it changes depending on how you live, think and connect with yourself and the world.
