Welcome to IONS' Distant Healing Project

Distant healing is an ancient human activity still widely practiced throughout the world today. Over thousands of years human beings have developed a rich blend of distant healing practices, some traditional, some exotic, from prayer to shamanic rituals to compassionate intention meditations.

IONS is engaged in an ongoing investigation of the potential of distant healing as a component of integral medicine models that can empower practitioners and individuals concerned with the healing of patients, friends and loved ones. We invite you to join us in this exploration and encourage you to review the articles, research studies and media resources that are available through IONS online distant healing project. Over the coming months we'll be adding new sections including e-learning programs on distant healing.

These pages are dedicated to Elizabeth Targ, MD, a pioneer in the research of distant healing and a gifted healer equally at home in the worlds of science and spirituality.
