Dogs often know when their owners are coming home and this week my guest Rupert Sheldrake gives us inside information on his scientific tests.. Is this a sixth sense or just telepathy I ask? Perhaps it is stretching the limits of telepathy as we know it but I offer an explanation. Rupert talks about the psychic ability of parrots, cats and horses, as well as dogs, offering much detailed information which is quite fascinating and very revealing.

Do we understand much about hypnosis? A talk with a hypnotist with comments as to how and why it works, shows that it uses a perfectly normal part of everyday life. It's just that a hypnotist is generally able to put us into a relaxed and sleepy state, that is, the dream state but without being asleep. It's our state of mind, just as we fall asleep, and it's perfectly normal. The reality of life disappears and we simulate an imaginary life which we call dreaming. It's the state of mind we call trance, which we slip into during the day, without even noticing while we are emotional, cry or laugh.

We all know dreams are normal but as they are not understood, they are considered paranormal. Our guest's book 'Origin of Dreams' explains how and why; so now dreaming is understandable. Our guest is a therapist dealing with all mental problems and he found that applying his understanding of dreaming to psychological problems enabled successful treatment by the use of hypnosis and allied techniques. My own interest in this has led to a description of what trance really is, and why it evolved. Trance is the name we give to the way we we inhibit conscious thinking about instinctive actions; which evolved as a necessity 35,000 years ago when we began to think consciously.

While we know that the medium often fakes paranormal events in films and television, we don't realize to what extent the whole of the paranormal is phoney. Despite all the fakery spiritual mediums do produce 'real evidence', people sometimes 'see' a UFO, parapsychology research has made many great discoveries and some people at stage shows become deeply hypnotised. This week we discover why there is so much fakery, with many examples of the way money is the cause, and how people falsify the evidence to make a point, whether it be the evidence for survival or the evidence of parapsychology.

Glenn has produced tapes and CDs which do the job of a top hypnotist but in the comfort of your home. He has sold 1.3 million cures for phobias and all the normal hypnotist's cures. As a successful 1:1 hypnotist he has treated over 1000 patients which gave him the experience to produce the CDs. Clearly hypnosis is perfectly easy, safe and normal but it used to be unreliable and frowned upon mainly because there was no understanding of how and why it works.

A study of NDE's has shown that music is often experienced by the dying person: but also by people nearby. I used the word experience because some do not hear it and others do not agree as to what they heard. As well as music being felt by the sick person, music is sometimes heard by other people present. Some hear, some do not, so it is not audible music, but the music is felt and from an external source. It seems that the music is transferred as emotion from mind to mind in the same way that information flows by telepathy. What does all this mean? How may these paranormal experiences be interpreted?

My guest is one of the few people who receive messages from other people's minds. (CLAIRVOYANCE, The alleged power of seeing things other than by the senses) This is strange, sometimes very disturbing, sometimes funny, but something that just has to be accepted by the person concerned. Most people would not believe the story if it were told, therefore the details cannot be made public or the person would be considered either crazy, or a witch. Therefore my guest, who has had this happen hundreds of times, has had to keep it to herself, only confiding in a few friends or family who might understand. The whole thing is shrouded in mystery and disbelief. Listen to Lucy tell her story.

My guest, Stephen Upton, is a Minister and Director of the largest spiritualist movement in the world; the Spiritualist National Union. http://www.snu.org.uk/ (http://www.snu.org.uk/)He lists the many forms of spirit phenomena, one of which gives evidence for survival of lost relatives. This is what we generally recognise as the main point of Spiritualism; the identification of proof for survival. While most of the paranormal phenomena discussed by our guest are not necessarily spiritual, and are identical to the evidence given in other areas such as healing, ESP or telepathy, I do believe that these phenomena have been shown to be normal. However, the evidence for survival at a sitting has to include three basic things, which I have always felt could be normal mind-to-mind - sitter to medium - without having to contact a spirit world which would be paranormal.

There is an enormous amount of evidence for UFO's - but what does it all mean? Consistent reports, hundreds of books, photos and videos, show that it cannot all be make believe, although fakes and make believe must form a part. This week's guest is Lional Beer who is the Honorary President and founder of BUFORA, the British UFO Research Association, so is just as interested and confused as anyone else. Even if you think there is more to it than trance and telepathy don't miss this show. They don't come with more experience of UFO's than Lionel Beer.

The human ability of healing has been discovered thousands of times when the need is there, but the modern system of Reiki allows a person to heal both body and mind. My guest, Arram Kong, originally from Singapore has lived in London most of his life. In Reiki the practitioner does not carry out direct healing but facilitates his subject to heal himself whatever the problem may be. An initial discussion identifies the problem and encourages an understanding and bond which is a vital part of the process. Then the practitioner multiplies that bond by gentle massage of the body on the acupuncture points and meridians in the area that needs treatment. But the fact is that most of us have a great deal to learn from Arram Kong about Healing or Reiki and how giving or receiving it is a perfectly normal human ability.

About 72 strange beliefs and psychic abilities are considered paranormal and listed as concepts of parapsychology: Some are different names for the same thing, but most are genuinely different things that happen to people from time to time. The complication is endless; but the whole thing can be rationalised if you start off with the two concepts of trance and telepathy. An understanding, of HOW and WHY these two things are normal facts of life, allows a very different view of the concepts of parapsychology, in fact, the 72 concepts reduces to 2. The study of cellular growth, in fact the whole of life, has eluded science; but the science of telepathy tells a new and exciting story.

Telepathy between identical twins is known all over the world, but in London, scientifically conducted tests have shown that it is a fact of life. My guest Guy Lyon Playfair has been involved in collecting data and has published a book 'Twin Telepathy'. He has shown that half of identical twins are telepathic, which is twice as likely as non identical twins. He says the professional debunkers will have to give up as more and more tests show that there really is telepathy between twins and that it's not only just ideas and feelings that are shared, it is sometimes pain, or even blisters from a burn, or a black eye. Guy gives his theory as to why twins are more telepathic than most people, but of course anybody can be telepathic - it really is quite normal.

Apart from conventional medicine, there are countless different types of healing, but they all use the same fundamental principle, which has many different names, and all are regarded as the only way to do healing. Phil Young, my guest, has practiced hypnotherapy, Eastern traditional healing, distance healing, Hawaiian healing, and trance body healing. He says that they all rely on trance phenomena, an altered or shifting state of consciousness.

I hope my guest who is a scientist and financial director will forgive me for saying she is psychic – because she really is. She is Jude Currivan and has lived with experiences of telepathy, clairvoyance, OOBE and apparent precognition all her life, but learned at a very young age to keep quiet about it. Nevertheless, there is the possibility that it aided her in the business world by having what might be called live intuition, whereby she intuitively knew who she could trust and what the best answer to a problem might be. But her experiences made her wonder why and what, which led her to study cosmology and the spiritual beliefs of ancient races as well as to try to improve life today by giving advice about the right things for the environment and our fellow men.

Since his teens Lee has walked in his sleep and then started drawing on walls and furniture. Then he started drawing horses on paper he had left lying around. One night he drew Marilyn Monroe which was very artistic and a good likeness; with some more of Marilyn a week later. That was 20 years ago and since then Lee has occasionally drawn in his sleep often after too much to drink. He is no artist during the day, the fact is that his unconscious has learned to draw very well; when he is supposed to be asleep. Sleepwalking tends to run in families and happens to about 10 per cent of the general population generally in children or adolescents. So it's not normal, but certainly not the paranormal. Most people only have a few occurrences but for a few like Lee it happens repeatedly, and they may eat in their sleep, even prepare food, compose music or draw; and with practice the sleepwalking mind learns to do these things easily and well.

My guest is the managing director of Meditations Ltd. who sells meditation aids which use light and sound, to bring about deep meditation much quicker and easier than do traditional meditation techniques. My guest Ivor Murray explains that everybody is a latent psychic, and can develop their psychic powers by learning the art of meditation, With slow and careful training there is a good chance that some measure of success can be achieved using modern technology, as well as the instructions from the psychic giving 12 lessons over the Internet.

Chico Xavier was perhaps the greatest medium. His work was nearly all automatic writing, but he was able to contact the "spirit world" with the greatest of ease. He wrote hundreds of books which were amazingly accurate. But he had very little education there being not even a library in his hometown which was in a remote part of Brazil. My guest is Guy Lyon Playfair who lived in Brazil for several years, meeting Chico on several occasions, then later writing a book "Chico Xavier-Medium of the Century" and another about Chico and psi research in Brazil called "The Flying Cow".

We know that healers can heal; but this healer learned how she could teach people to really heal themselves. Her name is Dr. Susan Allison, who lives in California. Susan studied many disciplines associated with healing from Process Therapy, Clinical Hypnotherapy, Shermanic trance, to Reiki and Spiritual Healing. She realized, that by combining all these techniques, a much more powerful new healing method was possible, even causing her husband's tumour to disappear. Details of this revolutionary method are all in her book "Empowered Healer" which she talks about in detail in this show.

There is strong evidence that healers can affect the growing of seeds and plants, as well as bone cultures in a dish. My guest, who has studied all aspects of healing, is Robert Charman, and who is Chairman of the Confederation of Healing Organisations here in the UK. He talks firstly about the statistical analysis of healing powers which shows that there is scientific proof that healing works. He then details some tests that show this effect, after which we go on to discuss what actually happens. It has been shown that the EEG of a healer has a very distinct form; but furthermore, that this particular brainwave pattern is transferred to someone being healed, which is an important part of the healing process.

Meditation has been practiced for thousands of years and often achieves very little, because to clear the mind demands much willpower and practice, and it generally takes many years. But the modern flotation tank allows a person to easily reach deep trance and meditation as the tank completely removes input from all the senses. My guest is Tim Strudwick, the MD of Float Works .Floating in these tanks is a strange sensation, but it is used to reduce stress and to enhance the power of hypnotism. Standard hypnotic procedures may be much more powerful when given in a floatation tank – also some people report having had an extatic enlightenment experience, which can often change a person's view of the world – permanently.

My guest, Vicky Sweetlove, has developed her natural psychic abilities so that now she is able to give a wide range of psychic advice and to perform various psychic functions. On her website; www.fengshuilife.co.uk (http://www.fengshuilife.co.uk)you will see she is a trained professional in the field and is able to give advice on housing and buildings, using the ancient Chinese method of Fung Shui, as well as removing unwanted attachments to spaces and buildings. She is able to achieve amazing success by dowsing and also accesses people's individual psychic records, from what is called the Akashic Records library, so that advice can be given about health, relationships, family, career and creativity. Some people suffer from a spirited attachment which manifests in different ways. Vicky is trained in identifying and releasing these undesirable attachments. All these psychic abilities rely on a single method of sensing, akin to telepathy, which I have explained in my book Sublimity,

Dreaming is not easily understandable, and lucid dreaming which does happen to many people occasionally, used to be considered paranormal. But psychologists started to study it 100 years ago and there is now considerable understanding. 30 years ago, studies in the UK and that Stanford University in the U.S. both discovered that lucid dreaming occurs during normal REM sleep. It is when a sleeper is aware of a different type of dream, and is able to direct his own attention, even signalling by eye movement to a researcher when the rest of the body is paralysed. But my guest Beverley D Urso, is a natural lucid dreamer who helped in the research at the Stanford Sleep Laboratory. Not only that, she is psychic and has learned to use telepathy and healing while dreaming. Furthermore she has learned to bring the lucid state into daytime consciousness with good effect.

17The use of past life regression for therapy is becoming increasingly popular and my guest Elizabeth Hill is one of many practitioners. Hypnosis is used to regress to past lives in order to find out if there have been past problems which may affect the mental or physical health in this life. Reincarnation is a core belief in many religions, even early Christianity, and this is because of reports of people remembering something that happened long ago. Modern therapy involves a combination of several techniques one of which is past life therapy and Elizabeth practices several techniques in giving a holistic treatment.

In 30 years there has been a revolution in the teaching of meditation and in personal mind control which has been brought about by many new methods and devices. One of the first was the Mind Mirror, and the inventor's book that accompanied it called "The Awakened Mind". My guest today is Judith Pennington who makes use of that technology to train for deep meditation in classes, demonstrations and teaching. The Mind Mirror is a biofeedback instrument which allows the user to see his own brainwave patterns, in order to get the feel of controlling his mind, to achieve deep relaxation. Mind training and meditation is becoming increasingly popular with more and more people using it for healing, medium ship, lucid dreaming, and even ESP studies.

He tells of his spirit medium ship, firstly privately and later becoming a visiting medium at Spiritualist Churches and a teacher at the College of Psychic Studies in London. He then became interested in healing and has been trained by Ray Brown who is a well known spiritual healer and surgeon. Quintin has learned much from Ray Brown, and has been carrying out spiritual healing and surgery himself for several years.

My guest is Mary Ann Harrington, who has been teaching autistic children for 20 years and she's learned that she can communicate non verbally in some way or another. Recently, there has been published about 10 books on the subject of autistics, and how best to teach them the skills which some of them seemed to lack, which we normally take for granted.

In Japanese, Reiki means 'mysterious influence' which relies on a spiritual energy that is hard to define. It was started 90 years ago by Mikao Usui as a result of Buddist training which involved meditation, fasting and prayer, that led to him practice healing by the use of universal life force energy. But despite the vague descriptions; it really does work. My guest, Guido Terzaghi, practices at a health centre in the University town of Cambridge. Reiki is commonly practiced in many countries of the world. This programme not only explores its spiritual and practical side, but compares it to other forms of complementary medicine and healing, discovering that there are some common factors, and seemingly all these techniques use the same fundamental system to heal the body and mind. What is it?

There is a huge body of literature and scientific evidence for near-death experiences (NDE's). My guest is Dr. Peter Fenwick who is a neuropsychiatrist and Fellow of the Royal College of Psychiatrists, who is a leading clinical authority on near-death experiences. He also lectures and has published 2 books on the subject of NDE's. As a neuroscientist he has been in a position to be close to patients reporting an end of life experience, from which they have been subsequently resuscitated. The experiences are difficult to understand or explain, and pose difficult scientific questions, about which there has been much scientific research and debate. Dr. Fenwick explains the science and problems, in non scientific terms, giving information on this strange but not on common human experience.

Although remote viewing can sometimes be explained by trance and telepathy, this is generally not a reasonable explanation. So what is it that enables a person to see something in a sealed box? or see something 100 miles away? or even move objects with only the power of the mind? That's a good question, about which my guest has some very interesting comments to make. Remote viewing requires firstly, some special deep trance state, followed by instruction into how to project in order to remote view. Easy to say: but apparently not completely impossible to do. There is evidence that even the ancient Egyptians used remote viewing and had their own way of teaching that special deep trance state.

This week I'm analysing about 90 different ways that we can experience paranormal events, and that number of course makes the whole thing appear mysterious. Many of these have been discussed in previous shows with an expert talking on that particular topic. But it's only by standing back and taking a holistic view that any sense can be made out of the whole thing. The main problem is that we have so many words for describing the same experience: it's all a complete muddle. This week I will show that there are only two phenomena that are the basis for the whole range of the paranormal, and they are trance and telepathy which are both surrounded by mystery as up till now no description has been available which suggest how or why. In the centre section of this show I'll outline my theory that explains how and why, which fits all the evidence, and allows a perfectly reasonable explanation.

Today we have many ways of helping these problems and my guest Joe Griffin is a therapist who has lectured on the best way mental health issues can be resolved. He has published books and set up a college which is being attended by thousands of therapists all based on our knowledge of the ways that the brain can sometimes respond to bad experiences which become embedded in our unconscious. Joe Griffin discusses treatments for depression, phobias or addiction, showing the way that modern therapies and counselling can offer relief or a complete cure.

Yes: we've all heard of dowsing, but can it really find water and other things? My guest is Leeroy Bull who was the president of the American Society of Dowsers at one time, has spent a lifetime dowsing. He gives examples of what can be done by dowsing as well as many insights into the principles and practice of dowsing. If you Google: "The art and craft of map dowsing," you will find his book available on Amazon, or from the American Society of Dowsers. Leeroy tells us today about the special state of mind necessary to be held while dowsing, which of course is a trance state, in which the Dowser's conscious mind asks questions of his unconscious with the answers been given by a pendulum or dowsing rods. The art of dowsing, which is very much paranormal, is something that can be taught and learned, and when practiced regularly it becomes quite normal.

People have used the practice of speaking in tongues since ancient times and it formed part of early Christianity, but was soon outlawed. It is used to reach a deeply religious trance which often produces a mystical experience that will be remembered by the fortunate person for life. My guest is Steven Evans, an ordained minister, who preaches in a church in the north of England, where speaking in tongues or glossolarlia is regularly used in the services. Not only does he teach the ministry of tongues, but often carries out healing of the sick by spiritual healing. In common with most Charismatic and Pentecostal churches they do not advertise the fact that they pray in tongues. But in the very special emotional atmosphere of these churches the newcomer will often start to speak in tongues bringing about a new dimension to faith. My own study of trance led me to study this subject which I discussed in my book Sublimity that demystifies all trance states.

The power of hypnotic trance is clearly demonstrated when it is used for entertainment and my guest Chris James is an all round entertainer who does use hypnosis as part of his act. See: http://www.showinfo.co.uk (http://www.showinfo.co.uk)/ It is clear that some people in an audience are easily hypnotised. Chris has volunteers come up and some he will easily put into trance, who then stay on stage to be part of the entertainment. They become deeply hypnotised and can then be persuaded to do stupid things which very much amuses the audience. In the past these shows may well have been unreasonable and too personal, but Chris is a member of the Federation of Ethical Stage Hypnotists, which gives guidance and help, ensuring that shows are safe and ethical. My own experiences of stage hypnosis in the past, presumably not governed by the Ethical Federation, have been unsatisfactory and I have written up descriptions of these experiences in my book Sublimity.

The study of quantum science and biology helped my guest to heal herself after a personal mystical experience. She had an Angelic message which started her journey to personal healing. She then studied the healing methods of various schools from Chinese medicine to Indian Chakras. Her name is Eva-Maria Mora and the main thrust of her work has been to discover why, why people get ill when their symptoms very often do not relate to the cause. Once the cause is established then more effective healing is possible and Eva found that by raising the energy level of both herself and her clients she was able to give a new healing modality, what she calls Quantum Angel Healing.

An amazing but manmade experience, that appears to be paranormal, has happened repeatedly to the point that it has to be accepted as normal. A donor heart in some way infuses the memories of its former owner into those of its new owner. Many books and scientific papers, have all revealed these incredible facts, which are hard to be precise about, but this evidence cannot just be ignored. As with all paranormal evidence, a belief is only possible when analysis has pointed to possible, or likely, explanations. In this programme I give a survey of current thinking regarding explanations as well as my own thoughts; together with accounts of experiences noted by transplant patients.

For the last 50 years there has been controversy over the investigation into astrology by Michel Gauquelin who discovered that part of the system of astrology is absolutely correct. This relates to people's birth time and the planet that was rising at the time - popularly known as the Mars Effect. Generally speaking, people born as Mars is rising are of a particular type and go on to be soldiers or sportsmen, and people born under Jupiter tend to be actors, Saturn gives rise to scientists and the Moon to authors. Ridiculous! you might say, but you would be perfectly entitled to think that, just as most scientists do. But the only reason why you are entitled, is because Gauquelin, was at a loss to find any reasonable explanation, as has everybody else for the last 50 years. If you look on my website you will see my perfectly reasonable explanation, and if you listen to this show I will give a broad outline of my theory.

She tells us of atrocities that have been committed in various places, for example, 27 people were publicly executed and their heads placed on display for 10 years. There is an underground dungeon where prisoners were kept and killed, where these memories seem to remain and are sensed by the people visiting. Jessica discusses the possible ways that the ghostly emotions, lights and sounds are stored in the area of the crimes.

My guest this week is Rupert Sheldrake, the famous biologist and scientist, who has become disillusioned with the dogmas of science which he writes about in his new book The Science Delusion. He says science regards paranormal phenomena as illusory and mechanistic medicine is the only one that really works. He has personally contributed more than anyone to the understanding of telepathy and has made a study of many psychic phenomena. His new book has deliberately caused controversy in scientific circles, because he has questioned the 10 core beliefs of science, the last two being that telepathy is illusory, and normal medicine is the only one that works. The website www.sheldrake.org (http://www.sheldrake.org)has an enormous amount of material, including a new section Paranormal is Normal. If you click on explore Sheldrake TV, there are several videos about him and his work.
