A randomized, double-blind clinical trial tested whether remote blessing (biofield energy) therapy improves cognitive and motor functions in 117 adults with self-reported neuropsychological impairments. Participants were assigned to a blessing treatment group, a sham control group, or a naïve control group. At 90 and 180 days, the blessing group showed statistically significant improvements in language function, working memory, episodic memory, locomotion, standing balance, dexterity, grip strength, and muscle endurance compared to both control groups. No adverse effects occurred. The authors conclude that remote blessing therapy is safe, non-invasive, and enhances cognitive-motor functions.
