Intention Research
While the subtle and powerful relationship between mind and matter has been the subject of scientific inquiry for centuries, only recently have scientists studied the effects of positive thoughts on food.
Intentional Chocolate™ and its research partner, the HESA Institute (www.hesainstitute.com) are leaders in the revolutionary new field of intentional nutrition proving that intention embedded into food can positively affect those who consume it.
Research shows that Intentional Chocolate™ significantly decreases stress, increases calmness, and lessens fatigue in those who eat it.
In a double-blind, placebo-controlled study that was published in the scientific peer-reviewed journal, Explore: The Journal of Science and Healing (October 2007) it was found that one ounce of Intentional Chocolate™ per day for three days increased subjects’ well-being, vigor and energy by an average of 67 percent and, in some cases, up to 1,000 percent, when compared to a control group.
The study showed that those who Intentional Chocolate™ is proven to have beneftis of decreased stress, increased energy, greater calmness, and enhanced focus.ate intentional chocolate received the following benefits:
- Decreased stress
- Increased energy
- Less fatigue
- Greater calmness
- Enhanced focus
- Improved general well-being
Dr. Dean Radin, PhD, Senior Scientist at The Institute of Noetic Sciences and author of Entangled Minds and The Conscious Universe explains:
"The mood-enhancing effects of the focused intentions embedded in Intentional Chocolate were successfully demonstrated in a statistically significant, double-blind, placebo-controlled experiment, and published in a peer-reviewed medical journal (Explore: The Journal of Science and Healing).
The effect seems to involve a form of energetic coherence which arises through the intentions of intensely focused and highly trained minds. Some speculate that such mind-matter interactions resemble the "observer effect" in quantum physics (i.e., observing a system changes that system.) This is one of several possible explanations for the observed effect that are currently under investigation." (www.deanradin.com)
HESA Institute and the Dalai Lama
The HESA Institute, the research partner of Intentional Chocolate™, was founded in 2007 to explore the complex relationship between the individual and the environment, including the role that communication, intention and attention play in how we experience life.
In the Spring of 2009 HESA plans to organize a unique conference: Meeting of the Minds: Capacities in Consciousness – A dialog with the Dalai Lama and leaders in science from Harvard, Max Planck Institute, Princeton, Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, and others.
How it Works
In Madison, Wisconsin, experienced meditators – some who have trained with the Dalai Lama – project the positive intention into a device developed by HESA and licensed to Intentional Chocolate™ designed to capture, hold, and then transfer the intention into food products.
The intention projected by the monks into our chocolate through this revolutionary transfer technology is this:
“Whoever consumes this chocolate will manifest optimal health and functioning at physical, emotional and mental levels, and in particular will enjoy an increased sense of energy, vigor and well-being for the benefit of all beings.”
