Visual Imagery in Modern Mind-Body Practices: Biophotonic Information Transfer through Water-Mediated Neural Resonance

Background. Recent research has demonstrated intriguing relationships between martial arts practice, particularly Kyokushin Karate Katas (KKK), biophotonic emissions, and changes in water properties. This emerging field connects traditional mind-body practices with modern biophysical measurements. Purpose. To analyze and synthesize current evidence regarding the mechanisms of information transfer between practitioners of Kyokushin Karate and water, focusing on biophotonic emissions, neurophysiological changes, and subsequent effects on recipients of treated water. Methods. We reviewed primary research focusing on: (1) biophotonic emissions during martial arts practice, (2) water structure modifications through mental practices, and (3) neurophysiological effects of treated water. Key papers from 2010-2024 were analyzed, with particular attention to the pioneering work of Babelyuk et al. (2024, 2025) and related studies in biophoton research. Results. Evidence suggests that KKK practice induces measurable changes in practitioners' biophotonic emissions, particularly from brain regions and fingertips. These changes correlate with specific EEG patterns and entropy measures. Water exposed to practitioners during KKK shows altered properties, including modified light emission characteristics and structural changes. Recipients consuming treated water demonstrate neurophysiological changes, even under double-blind conditions. Conclusions. The reviewed research suggests a potentially viable mechanism for information transfer from practitioner to water through biophotonic emissions, with subsequent biological effects on recipients. These findings bridge traditional Eastern practices with Western biophysical measurements, opening new avenues for understanding mind-body interactions.
