Tantric Energy Tested by Science

It’s not often that we have the opportunity to share groundbreaking discoveries, so this blog post is one of our most exciting ever!

In this video our head teacher, Somananda, presents the effects of tantric energy healing under the supervision of Danish scientists and medical professionals. All tests are performed under laboratory conditions. The results far exceeded expectations; scientists simply could not explain what they saw on their monitors.

How Did It Come To Be?

In the beginning of 2015 Somananda was approached by a well-known Danish TV figure, Lasse Spang Olsen, who was putting together a series of documentaries about alternative healing for Danish national television. The aim of his efforts was to demonstrate whether alternative healing methods could be tested and proven scientifically. Everyone knows that the “lack of scientific proof” has been one of the foremost criticisms used to discredit alternative and non-mainstream practices.

For us, while having no doubts about the multi-level healing effects of tantric full-body energy orgasms, it was a novel and exciting experience. Is it possible to measure Tantra using scientific methods of data collection, and what would such tests show?

Test #1: The Heat Camera

Tantra - a heat camera was used to test tantric energy
Energy sessions were evaluated by a heat camera which measured the body temperature of both the giver and receiver.

Our first stop was at the Technical University of Denmark, where the energy session was filmed using heat cameras to see whether there were any significant changes in the body heat of Somananda, acting as the healer, or in the recipients. The test was performed and observed by two university scientists. During the session the heat cameras indeed showed rising body temperatures, but it was difficult to conclude whether the increases were caused by the healing technique or by the fact that the session involved physical movement.

One thing, however, was very clear. When TV host Olsen took over the role from Somananda during the session, the energetic effects visible for the blindfolded recipient ceased immediately and resumed only when Somananda again focus on the recipient. So what was actually happening here? Was there a difference between the hands of Somananda and Olsen? Can we measure it?

The brainwave test showed a 40% or higher activation of the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) in both test subjects during the session with Somananda.

Test #2: Brainwaves and Electrodes

The second testing day brought us to the Aalborg University Hospital, the largest hospital in the North Denmark Region. The next two tests were done here and this is where things became very interesting.

The brainwave-measuring device was used to assess what changes in the brain occurred during an orgasmic energy session.

First the subjects were connected to a brainwave-measuring device using more than 60 electrodes attached to various points on the skull. At the root of all of our experiences, thoughts, and emotions is the communication between neurons (brain cells) within our brain. Brainwaves are produced by synchronized electrical pulses from masses of neurons communicating with each other. What the medical professors aimed to do in this test was to measure whether anything changes in the behavior and communication of the neurons during an orgasmic energy session.

And… a great deal changes!

Dr. Christina Brock (PhD), research team leader at Aalborg University Hospital, conducted the test. According to her (and to her great surprise), the brainwave test showed a 40% or higher activation of the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) in both test subjects during the session with Somananda. This is an enormous increase and an important discovery!

To explain, the PNS is one of the two divisions of the autonomic nervous system, which is responsible for regulating the body’s unconscious actions. The unconscious parts of the brain, which normally cannot be subjected to will, were activated during the session with Somananda. How can that be?!

But there is more to it. The parasympathetic nervous system is responsible for relaxation and rest, which are the states necessary for physical and emotional healing. Everyone knows that you need peace and quiet to heal from any illness. There is a strong connection here! The energy session led by Somananda strongly increased the activity of the parasympathetic nervous system in both subjects, taking them to much deeper states of relaxation and therefore increasing the potential for healing as well.

Sexual Activity and the Brain

Another very important function of the parasympathetic nervous system is the coordination of sexual activity. The more active your PNS is, the more relaxed and restful you feel and the more sexual and more orgasmic you are. Again there was a clear connection between what Somananda was doing and the whole-body orgasmic effects the subjects experienced repeatedly and consistently. As Somananda said in the interview, he is awakening the sexual energy of the subject, which is then moved upward in the body to bring about highly pleasurable experiences and states of deep orgasm. To rephrase, he is using his will or consciousness to control something that medical science considers autonomous or unconscious.

Here Somananda is pictured executing the techniques for bringing about the energy orgasm experience while doctors and scientists monitored various aspects.

Also during Test #2 TV host Olsen took over a few times and imitated the movements he saw Somananda doing. The two changed places at random intervals and each time Dr. Brock saw an immediate drop in the activation of the parasympathetic nervous system when Olsen was with the subject. The brainwave test showed a clear difference between what Somananda was doing and what Olsen was doing – a difference that was measurable yet unexplainable.

Test #3: Scanning the Brain

The last test was the MRI brain scan before and during the energy session. Due to the magnitude of the MRI machine it was quite challenging for Somananda to have proper access to the subject and to perform the session. However, regardless of this physical limitation the results were again astounding. There was a noticeable difference in the brain activity before and during the session. Moreover, there was a noticeable difference in the session’s outcome when it was led by Somananda or TV host Olsen. The MRI scan showed a clear effect.

What Can We Conclude?

In addition to a blissful and orgasmic experience, the energy orgasm can also induce a deep state of relaxation and healing.

It seems that the tests and the results largely speak for themselves. We saw a scientific confirmation that through tantric techniques and tantric massage, as Somananda is doing and teaching it, a trained person can influence the brain activity of another person and to induce deep states of relaxation, sexual arousal and orgasm without even touching.

These abilities can be mastered by putting tantric knowledge of energy into practice. This incredible science is available and we teach how to achieve the skills of giving beautiful effects responsibly, with respect and needed amount of energy control. Additionally, we also teach how to train to become open in receiving them and how to go into a deep spiritual and ecstatic experience that can literally transform your mind and life. You are welcome to explore what modern science cannot yet explain!
