The Power of Eight

Discover how to tap into your extraordinary human capacity for connection and healing using astonishing new findings about the miraculous power of group intention in this new book by the author of the international bestsellers The Intention Experiment and The Field.In The Power of Eight, Lynne McTaggart-whose "work has had an unprecedented impact on the way everyday people think of themselves in the world" (Gregg Braden, author of The Divine Matrix)-reveals her remarkable findings from ten years of experimenting with small and large groups about how the power of group intention can heal our lives and change the world for the better.When individuals in a group focus their intention together on a single target, a powerful collective dynamic emerges that can heal longstanding conditions, mend fractured relationships, lower violence, and even rekindle life purpose. But the greatest untold truth of all is that group intention has a mirror effect, not only affecting the recipient but also reflecting back on the senders.Drawing on hundreds of case studies, the latest brain research, and dozens of McTaggart's own university studies, The Power of Eight provides solid evidence showing that there is such a thing as a collective consciousness. Now you can learn to use it and unleash the power you hold inside of you to heal your own life, with help from this riveting, highly accessible book.

“Lynne McTaggart has demonstrated something unique in the mind-body-spirit movement: You don’t need to be a Sufi master, take ayahuasca or spend years of disciplined spiritual practice to get a taste of the miraculous. All you need is a small group with a common intention. Read this book, form your own Power of Eight group and welcome the miracles in your own life.”

—Deepak Chopra, New York Times bestselling author of Quantum Healing

“Throw away your self-help books. As Lynne McTaggart convincingly argues in this extraordinary book, it’s ‘other help’ that can truly transform you.

Read this book, for your own sake and for your family and friends (and, yes, even for complete strangers).”

—John Gray, New York Times bestselling author of Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus

“Required reading for anyone who’d like proof of the power of prayer and group intention for it was written by the ultimate Doubting Thomas.

—John Assaraf, New York Times bestselling author of Having it All, and CEO of NeuroGym

“Every one of us has the power to use our thoughts to heal our world.

It’s something you can do right now, and it will utterly change your life. And it’s so simple! Utterly revolutionary.”

If you only buy one book this season make it this one, for this is one of the most important and urgent messages of our time.”

—Katherine Woodward Thomas, New York Times bestselling author of Conscious Uncoupling

“Lynne’s research on intentional healing documents the long-recognized belief that mental qualities such as love and hope are actually the best antidotes in fending off disease, which feeds back and enhances the lives of each of the group’s participants. *The Power of Eight *is a powerful contribution to healing our planet.”

—Bruce H. Lipton, PhD, stem cell biologist and bestselling author of The Biology of Belief

—Jude Currivan, PhD, author of The Cosmic Hologram

“A powerfully convincing account of the scientific study of the power of human intention. Beyond that, though, it stands out as a lighthouse in the fog to curious minds everywhere. It invites all who are grasping for clarity around their place in this grand universe to find a scientific ‘home’ of sorts for their spiritual quest.”
