Changes in biofield measures and experienced states during meditation and breathwork practices: an uncontrolled feasibility study

Frontiers in Psychology February 25, 2026 Natalie L. Dyer, Meredith Sprengel, Ivo V. Stuldreher et al.

Background: The human body radiates multiple biological fields which can be measured with sensors directly on or off the body. These electromagnetic fields are hypothesized to be altered by mind and body practices. The primary goal of the current study was to evaluate the feasibility of continuous multi-sensor monitoring during meditation and breathwork practices. It also explored methods to...

Differential effects of relaxation techniques on ultraweak photon emission.

Journal of alternative and complementary medicine (New York, N.Y.) April 1, 2008 Eduard P A Van Wijk, Rainer Lüdtke, Roeland Van Wijk

Evidence has accumulated favoring the possible role of oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of many chronic diseases. Meditation is utilized as an adjunct to conventional medical treatment for several clinical conditions. A few studies suggest a role of long-term meditation in the control of the free-radical metabolism. Many techniques for recording reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been made...

Anatomic characterization of human ultra-weak photon emission in practitioners of transcendental meditation(TM) and control subjects.

Journal of alternative and complementary medicine (New York, N.Y.) 2006 Eduard P A Van Wijk, Heike Koch, Saskia Bosman et al.

Research on human ultra-weak photon emission (UPE, biophoton emission) has raised the question whether a typical human emission anatomic percentage distribution pattern exists in addition to individual subject overall anatomic summation intensity differences. The lowest UPE intensities were observed in two subjects who regularly meditate. Spectral analysis of human UPE has suggested that...
