Hi Rupert! I'm Portuguese and I've been following your videos for years, always with great enthusiasm. I admire your great intelligence, your practical scientific side, capable of designing experiments with relatively low costs. You are a practical and creative person. You are an open-minded scientist. No prejudice. Not dogmatic. All scientists should be like you! Thank you for the lectures and lessons! You are tireless. Greetings!

There are kirlian photography videos on YT showing a leaf's "aura" remaining intact like a ghost image even after part of the leaf is cut off.

Thank you Rupert for your incredible contributions to Existence.
P.S. People who train for OBEs use the phantom limb technique to activate the astral body. With your eyes closed, reach out with your phantom limb and stroke your toes, feet, ankles, calves, all the way up to the crown of your head, in this way activating the entirety of the energy body.
This is keeping with ancient shamanic techniques. In Mircea Eliade's Shamanism, he details the cross-cultural technique of "counting the bones of the skeleton" before shamanic flightā this is likely the same technique of passing the awareness throughout the energy body in order to activate it.

After my own out of body event I was convinced that our body is an electromagnetic container for our soul body. The body allows us to experience the physical realm though our senses which is impossible for our phantom self. I firmly believe our soul body stays the same whatever limbs are missing but obviously loses the ability to feel physical things.

While I can't go into detail on a YT comment I have found various distal acupuncture/acupressure treatment modalities to work well in alleviating phantom limb pain. The broad principle (from Taiwanese Tung acupuncture) is that in general clinical practice one almost never treats pain locally: (no one really wants a needle stuck into a part of their body that's already painful - at least not if there's a gentler and more effective alternative!) - So for example if someone has a pain in their ankle, the treatment is often given at the opposite wrist , or the left big toe being treated via the right thumb, right elbow and left knee, and so on.
It's a lot more complicated than that, because the image of one limb can be flipped (ankle for shoulder) or shortened (ankle for elbow) and some people respond better ipsilaterally and others contralaterally. Also, with some people extremely precise location of the correct treatment area seems to be necessary, while others respond on a 'close enough' basis. I suspect this may have something to do with the robustness of the morphogenetic field's integrity, aka their constitutional vigour.
However the point is that physical pain in a materially present limb can be alleviated by working with another limb without ever directly touching the painful limb - and this is obviously extremely useful when the physical limb no longer exists on a material level !
Most importantly, there's nothing to stop people with amputations just trying this at home for free once the broad principle has been understood. This has really helped some people with phantom limb itching, which can drive people round the bend. The trick is to find the correct correspondence, which takes some experimentation since we're all different.

I recently attended a holotropic breathing session. In the nonordinary state of consciousness I got in the session I was able to feel the field Rupert is talking of when I moved my hands over different parts of my body. It felt like a kind of subtle fluid was moving through me synchronously to the direction where my hands were moving. I felt a deep connection to the space around me and at the same time a very deep sense of peace.

My brother is an amputee ,right leg below knee, of 57 odd years. Still having phantom limb experience all this time onwards.

I chopped off two and a half toes with a lawn mower age 7. Had phantoms for years until my big toe tilted over to balance my walk. As an adult I meditated and prayed my toes grow back. It caused a tingling at the area so annoying I called back the prayer and the feeling stopped. I may have been able to grow toes back but was too creeped out to continue. Thanx Doc!

I wonder what Rupert Sheldrake thinks of Michael Levinās extraordinary work on regeneration of body parts through principles of bioelectricity. Otto Beckerās book The Body Electric is also fascinating, and shows how science has sadly neglected this field due to dogmatic preconceptions about how the body functions.
I am paralyzed due to a spinal cord injury in my neck, but I am convinced the anything can heal. Unfortunately the collective belief in the impossibility of healing for spinal cord victims is enormous!
However there are a small number of cases of miraculous spontaneous healings of very longstanding spinal cord injuries. This would be impossible if there were not some kind of blueprint remaining post injury, due to the immense complexity of the neural connections.
Iām also aware of cases of healings from massive strokes where the huge lesions in the brain remain after full function has returned.
So much we donāt understand.
I do hope to walk again one day without the need for microchips implanted in my brain howeverā¦

As a university scientist I thank you from the bottom of my heartā¦ you are spot on and have inspired me to go beyond ā¦

Rupert,
Up until I stumbled upon your After Skool video, I thought Terence Mckenna was the only person I would find that spoke what I feel are the most important of truths in the clearest of ways. That talk alone gave me enough excitement and hope for our future that I'm left feeling compelled to also dedicate my life to science research. I just wanted to say thank you for the passion you ignited me with and the brilliant knowledge you've shared.

My third child died of a brain haemorrhage only two days after he was born and I experienced these phantom feelings of loss, which I could only describe at the time as having a sense that I was looking for something or missing something or had left my wallet somewhere, and my energetic attention was often drawn to āwhat was not thereā. (This can lead to relationship issues within the family and we can see how this disconnection with other children or the father further destabilises the situationā¦)
I suspect it is the same as with lost limbs - luckily I had already been a student of yoga and eastern philosophy and medicine for years at that point and I could relate my experience to the energy body (sukshma sharira in Sanskrit). Working with osteopaths and acupuncturists helped me to balance this energy and I highly recommend it for anyone who has any such experience.
My experience also helped me understand how women can go mad after the loss of a baby, as the baby is in a motherās body then in her arms postnatally, satisfying the energy body connection so badly needed for good human development. It also explains infant distress at being separated from the mother. Think of the generations of infants routinely separated from their mothers postnatally and who were placed in cots far away along with other distressed babies. The result is very plain to see in our broadly dysfunctional Western society.
This also explains why infants who arenāt held also go mad and show severe developmental difficulties. So much to learn about here.
Iām so happy to see this channel growing after languishing for yearsā¦ people are ready for it and more open to the non-material world than ever. šš»

Very interesting hypothesis about the body as a field. Biologist Michael Levin described how electrical signals are involved in lizards growing new limbs. But an open question he mentioned is: how do the cells know when to stop building the new limb? With a field model the field can act as a scaffolding structure for the cells to grow and adjust to.

I still have sometimes a tooth pain where the tooth was removed, the dentist told me that it is phantom pain, š
and it will go away again . My dad had during ww2 a fragment of a grenade in his jaw, ofcourse removed but every year at the same time the pain came back. The brain/ body holds on to trauma even when it is gone.

Hi. I've been an above knee amputee since 1990 after a motorbike accident. I am also a certified orthotist prosthetist.
I sometimes get terrible phantom limb pain..Usually feels like my small toe is being removed with a blunt knife.
2 things I wanted to share.
1. There may be a correlation between phantom pain and Coronal mass ejection. CME. I noticed that on the days I have a bad episode, the space weather is also bad (High M C or X flare). This could be a coincidence though. But food for thought.
2. I found a way to stop the phantom pain about 5 months ago. After almost 30 years I found a cure. I'm not sure if it will help anyone else. But there is breathing technique that seems to help.
Try the following:
As the pain starts. Breathe I deeply and push you stomach out as much as possible. Force the pressure into the stomach...Then hold it out for about 3 sec..then Breathe in..pulling your stomach in as much as you can ...and hold for a few seconds. Do this a few times until the pain goes away.
Side effect will be tight abdominal muscles for a few days...like you did a few sit-ups.
This exercise does not stop the phantom sensation of the limb still being attached. It seems to stop severe electrical shock pains.
Hope this helps.

Always good to hear you Rupert and thanks for sharing your insights

In acupuncture, we treat the physically present limb for symptoms in the phantom limb.

Fascinating stuff as usual. thanks, your experiments to test your theories are very ingenious and creative too.

There was a video on youtube that shows the electromagnetic field of the body under imaging, Of people with missing limbs that clearly shows the presence of the electromagnetic energy of that same Missing Limb. I'm missing my right leg below the knee.And sometimes I have pains in my toes. If I rub my prostatic the pain goes away. Not only that if someone else rubs the prosthetic the pain still goes away also
