Non Traditional Areas of Research the GDV can be Applied to:

Ability to read the Kirlian aura provides insight into much more that the physical body. Activity of bio-energy centres (chakras) and the energy meridian system can be monitored and studied. All functions of the mind, including altered states of consciousness, telepathic and healing abilities etc. show up in the Kirilain aura.

Application to scientific study of telepathic communication
Ability to monitor in the real time complex functions of the mind by reading auras provides new tools to study direct mind to mind communication, called telepathy. Numerous experiments using modern Kirlian effect equipment confirm beyond doubt existance of direct mind to mind telepathic communication. It was also proven, that the distance of several hundred kilometres has no detrimental effect on such communication.

Energetic and healing properties of crystals, minerals and water
Auras of people who interact with various objects such as drugs, crystals, minerals, colours etc.. may change significantly. Modern Kirlian equipment is capable to quantify these effects in terms of human energy levels, detailed functioning of every organ and health effects.

Aura of LIVING water
One of the most fascinating research directions on Earth at present is the study of the Aura and bio-energetic structure of water. This research is conducted in Russia by Prof. K.Korotkov.

Kirlian images of water Two Kirlian Aura images of seemingly identical drops of water, kindly provided by Prof Korotkov, are shown. The left image depicts Aura vibration around a drop of normal water and the right image shows the Aura around a drop charged by the famous Russian healer Allan Chumak during ten minutes of conscious concentration. The difference in the bio-energy glow is dramatic: the bio-charged water has more than 30 times stronger Aura vibration and significantly altered physical and biological properties.

Contemporary physics cannot explain the above change in water glow which, technically speaking, is a purely physical process involving an electrical discharge in air around the drop. The main reason for this is that a great majority of “scientists” on Earth completely ignore our consciousness in their perception of Reality. Prof. K.Korotkov says that the increase in the Aura around a drop of water cannot be explained without considering the energy and vibration of our consciousness. Water Aura experiments are indisputable evidence that our mind, when properly trained, can dramatically change the qualities of matter.

It is interesting to note that in every great culture on Earth there is a tradition to concentrate positive feelings on food before commencing a meal. This usually takes a form of being grateful to Nature, God or the Universe. In view of the recent Russian Aura research such concentration may have a very profound reason. Charging the food with a positive conscious energy before consumption possibly makes it more harmonious with the body and also more nutritious to consume.

Dr. John Zimmerman of the University of Colorado, using a SQUID (Superconducting Quantum Interference Device) has discovered that magnetic fields several hundred times stronger than background noise are created around the hands of trained healers when doing healing work on patients. No such fields are created by 'sham' healers making the same movements, indicating something special is happening with the trained healers. The frequencies of the magnetic fields surrounding the hands of the trained healers were of the alpha and theta wave range similar to those seen in the brain of meditators"

Scientific methods for testing and training PSI (psychic, telepathic, healing) abilities
Using modern Kirlian technology it is possible to evaluate degree of conscious control people have over their energy states and aura. It was shown, that gifted spiritual and natural healers can greatly influence their energy states and transmit their energy to other people.

It was also shown beyond doubt that what we call spiritual healing is actually a direct mind to mind telepathic connection between healer and the patient. Such healing can be done remotely, without the need of the patient to see the healer.

Because psychic, telepathic and healing abilities can now be quantified using modern Kirlian technology, it has become possible to develop training methods to enhance the above natural abilities and watch student's progress.

Evidence of conscious activity of the mind-body after death
All living objects show continuous changes in their aura. A major series of experiments demonstrated that aura of the human body changes continuously for almost exactly 72 hours after death. Among other things, the reason for death can be determined on the basis of these changes. Details are described in the book "Light after Life" - by Prof K.G.Korotkov . This book is available from ACCESS Publishers Network, in US: (800) 345-0096; from outside of US: (616) 276-5196, or (616) 276-5197 fax, or through Ingram, Baker & Taylor and other fine wholesalers, shipping from January 1998. ISBN 0-9644311-5-7 (c)1998 Backbone Publishing Company US$ 12.95, 216p. 15 ill., 30 charts, bibl., index.

It is interesting to note that in every culture on Earth for centuries people observe a 3 day period between death of the body and burial. Christ was resurrected exactly 3 days after his death. It seems that our wise ancestors knew MUCH MORE about life and death that we can even imagine.
