Can the power of our thoughts influence the physical world around us? What if we could see our intentions, hopes, and fears displayed before us? Could these images allow us to connect with our deeper selves, with others, with our departed loved ones?
Windbridge Institute husband and wife research team, Mark Boccuzzi and Julie Beischel, PhD, spent a year exploring these and other questions relating to the extended nature of consciousness and the connections that exist between our minds and the physical world.
Visualizing Intention explores the development and application of their research. It also includes 12 images created from data collected while meditators focused on specific ideas. You can use these images as the focus of your own meditations.

In this video, Mark Boccuzzi presents some the ideas and data behind the creation of intentional data sets and imaging.

An interview with Mark Boccuzzi about this work on the Moonflower: Art, Design, Culture blog.
“Art also lets me push outside of the often rigid constraints of science, allowing me to explore ideas and technologies in unconventional ways.”

Monthly Meditation Calendar: Images from the Book
Meditative practices can improve health, stress, mood, brain function, and psychic abilities. Use the laboratory-created images in this calendar each month for meditative focus or contemplation.
These images, featured in the book Visualizing Intention, were created from data that were collected during sessions in which meditators focused on affirmations. Make these part of your daily mindfulness practice.
Customizable Framed Prints
A selection of images from the book are available as framed prints.
Images can be produced as Stretch Canvas Prints, Framed Prints, Metal Prints, Acrylic Prints, and more.
PsiSongs
PsiSongs are musical tracks created from the same type of meditation data used to create the PsiForm images. To create these tracks, REG data are used by a software audio sequencer developed by Windbridge Institute, LLC researcher, Mark Boccuzzi in the ChucK programming langue. You can hear a selection of these tracks on Mark's SoundCloud page.
