      ab: This paper presents the results of a pilot study that investigated how directed mental healing by indigenous healers in South Africa impacted upon the functioning of a Random Event Generator. Participants were asked to focus their intention directly onto the device and administer healing as they would do with actual clients. A cumulative effect that significantly exceeded chance expectancy (Stouffer Z= 2.531, p = .01) provides support for the view that this is an approach worth pursuing, and that a larger scale study may be of merit.
