Controversial
Psi Lab to Close
By
Amanda Cartwright
Source: Associated Content
The
Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research group (PEARS) has
announced on their website that the controversial laboratory
will end its relationship with the Ivy-league school at
the end of this month.
The
reason? Administrators feel that many of its basic research
goals have been reached. Further investigations will be
carried out through a new non-profit organization, the International
Consciousness Research Laboratories, according to a
statement on the Web site.
PEAR
opened in 1979 under the guidance of Roger Jahn, dean of
Princeton's School of Engineering and Applied Science. Its
mission, according to the Web site, was to pursue "rigorous
scientific study of the interaction of human consciousness
with sensitive physical devices, systems, and processes
common to contemporary engineering practice."
Those
of us who were around in the late 70s will remember that
extra-sensory perception was a very hot topic, with late-night
hosts showing off people who could bend spoons with nothing
but concentration. Now, the subject is more relegated to
magic tricks used for children's birthday parties or to
break the ice at a singles party. PEAR's work, according
to the group's Web site, doesn't involve spoons. Instead,
activities of the human mind are measured with sensitive
physical devises and systems that have been created for
use in other scientific applications.
PEAR's
new organization, ICRL will be independent of Princeton,
which many thought was an odd host for what some might consider
an unscientific subject. Like PEAR, ICRL will focus on quality
research, educational initiatives and practical applications.

Skeptic
Revamps $1,000,000 Psychic Prize
By
Kevin Poulsen

If
you're an undiscovered psychic, soothsayer,
dowser or medium, time may be running
out for you to put your supernatural powers
to the test and claim a million dollar
prize.
But
you already knew that, didn't you?
Ten
years after stage magician and avowed
skeptic James Randi first offered a seven-figure
payday to anyone capable of demonstrating
paranormal phenomenon under scientific
scrutiny, the 79-year-old clear-eyed curmudgeon
is revising the rules of his nonprofit
foundation's Million Dollar Challenge
to better target high-profile charlatans,
and spend less time on unknown psychics,
who too often turn out to be delusional
instead of deceptive.
"We
can't waste the hundreds of hours that
we spend every year on the nutcases out
there -- people who say they can fly by
flapping their arms," says Randi.
"We have three file drawers jam-packed
with those collections.... There are over
300 claims that we have handled in detail."

Baby
Mind Reader Ready for Psychic Challenge
Source:
Paranormal Review
Derek Ogilvie, a British medium who claims to
be able to read babies’ minds – a sort
of “child whisperer” – is eager
to relieve the James Randi Educational Foundation
(JREF) of $1 million by proving his psychic abilities
are real.
No
formal application has yet been made but his acceptance
of the challenge, if it goes ahead, is likely
to be the subject of a television documentary.
Ogilvie’s work was featured in Channel 5’s
reality series, The Baby Mind Reader.
Scottish-born
Ogilvie, 41, has been a practicing medium for
several years. His speciality came about, he says,
during a reading for a mother whose three-week-old
child began sending him strong telepathic messages
about the family’s life together.
Now,
he is called in by parents whose children have
sleeping, eating or crying problems that do not
respond to conventional cures. Fiona McCade, writing
in The Scotsman last year (15 June 2006) told
of her own experience when he visited her and
her 10-month-old son, for whom meal times were
a battleground, because he was still treating
solid food with suspicion, and whose sleep patterns
were erratic.

Women
Turn to Hypnosis to Get Pregnant
By Dennis Douda,
Source: WCCO.com
Hypnosis is used for all kinds of things, including
quitting smoking, losing weight and even limiting
labor pain in the delivery room, but now some
women swear the mind-over-matter technique is
helping them get pregnant.
Amber
Olson is a busy working mother with another
baby on the way. Before her second son, Liam,
was born, she had three and a half years of
infertility and doctors could not find a physical
reason.
Olson
tried fertility treatments with no success.
"It was really heartbreaking," she
said.
Olson
then turned to fertility hypnosis, a new complementary
therapy that is gaining popularity. With a soothing
voice and positive words, Olson said her hypnotherapist
guided her to a relaxing, stress-free world.
"I
felt excellent," Olson said. After
only two sessions, Olson was pregnant.

How
to Be Outstanding in any Situation
By
Steve G. Jones,
Clinical Hypnotherapist
Better
Living With Hypnosis
I would like to give you something you can use today.
You will be amazed at how many times what I'm about
to share will come in handy, if you use it.
This technique is called anchoring. Today, anchoring
is generally considered part of the body of knowledge
known as NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) which
has its roots in Pavlovian behavior modification.
You remember Pavlov. He was the Russian scientist
who, in about the year 1900, made dogs salivate by
ringing a bell.
Here's
how he did it: He would start by ringing a bell while
letting dogs smell meat powder. They would salivate
from smelling the meat powder. Eventually, he only
needed to ring a bell and this alone caused the dogs
to salivate. The dogs had associated the bell with
hunger. The bell was an anchor for salivation. Pretty
simple, huh?
Unfortunately,
you are exposed to this form of conditioning every
day.
Did
you know that TV commercial makers use anchoring to
manipulate you? TV commercials will show you a sexy
person smoking to cause you to associate (anchor)
sexiness with smoking. Beer commercials are notorious
for showing women in bikinis so that you will associate
beer with sex. Fast food commercials show happy families
clogging their arteries to cause you to associate
eating garbage with being happy.
This
technique has been used AGAINST you countless times.
Now,
I'm going to hand you the keys to the car and let
you take control of your anchoring. It is possible
to apply this same basic technique to almost any problem.
Smoking, overeating, nail biting, fear of public speaking,
all of these conditions are treatable with NLP. On
many of my hypnosis recordings, I use NLP to reinforce
the positive change.
Let's
take a look at how Pavlov's discovery can HELP you
right now. I teach this technique to established actors
who need a little boost between multi-million dollar
movies. Yes, even established actors feel a little
self-conscious sometimes. And they love quick powerful
techniques which they can use before going on camera.
