What is Parapsychology?

Parapsychology is the scientific study of interactions between living organisms and their external environment that seem to transcend the known physical laws of nature.  Parapsychology is a component of the broader study of consciousness and the mind.  Parapsychologists study 5 broad areas:

  • Telepathy – mind to mind communication through a means other than the normal senses
  • Clairvoyance or Remote Viewing – knowledge of objects, people, or events that are hidden via space or time.  For example, an object hidden in a box in a different room, a photograph sealed in an envelope, an event that is occurring to a loved one who is thousands of miles away, or the characteristics of a room that only existed in the past.
  • Precognition – knowledge of an event that has not yet occurred, or information that appears to be transferred from the future into the present.
  • PK or Psychokinesis – Mind interacting with matter at a distance.  Mind interactions with living systems (including energetic healing) are sometimes included in this category.
  • Survival Studies – The nature of human consciousness and an examination of whether consciousness survives the physical form.  This includes mediumship research, reincarnation, out of body experiences, apparitions, and ghost activities.
