Have you ever wondered if your thoughts could directly influence the world around you? Could we scientifically explain and harness the age-old concept of life force energy, or Qi, for healing and personal growth? Nelson Abreu’s groundbreaking Qi-Water Bridge concept proposes a fascinating interface between consciousness and the physical brain, potentially shifting our understanding of the mind-body connection.

Here we explore the relationship between consciousness, water and the physical world, uncovering the potential for a paradigm shift in our understanding of reality. As we explore quantum biology, structured water, and the nature of consciousness, we’ll discover how these seemingly disparate fields converge to form a cohesive and thought-provoking framework for understanding the fundamental nature of existence.

The Qi-Water Bridge

Nelson Abreu’s Qi-Water Bridge concept (proposed in his paper, “The Qi-Water Bridge as a Bilateral Consciousness-Brain Interface”) posits a bilateral interface between consciousness and the brain, facilitating mediation between the body and consciousness. This innovative framework draws inspiration from Eastern philosophies, particularly the notion of Qi or life force energy, and combines it with cutting-edge research on the unique properties of water.

Abreu proposes the Qi-Water Bridge as a mediator between the body and consciousness, facilitating neuronal firing. This concept suggests that consciousness can interact with the physical brain through a medium that shares properties with both the intangible realm of thought and the tangible world of matter. By providing a theoretical framework for this interaction, the Qi-Water Bridge opens up new avenues for research into the nature of consciousness and its relationship with the physical world.

Water: The Matrix of Life

“Water is life’s matter and matrix, mother and medium. There is no life without water.”

– Albert Szent-Györgyi

Nobel laureate Albert Szent-Gyorgyi described water as the “matrix of life,” highlighting its fundamental role in sustaining biological processes. Life appears to have a close relationship with water, acting as a structural element and a catalyst for crucial biochemical reactions. Life cannot survive without water, and biological processes occur both with and within water.

Water’s role in biological processes extends far beyond its function as a simple solvent. Its unique properties, including hydrogen bonding and dipole nature, make it essential for life. For instance, water is a structural component of plants, allowing flowers to hold up to face the sun. On a molecular level, chains of water molecules inside protein pore-like channels can act as “proton wires,” facilitating crucial cellular processes.

Science traditionally acknowledges three states of water: solid, liquid, and vapor. However, recent research has uncovered a fourth phase of water, known as Exclusion Zone (EZ) water, which exhibits structured organization and energy storage capabilities. Professor Gerald Pollack proposes this fourth-phase of water because it excludes impurities and occurs next to “water-loving” surfaces (hydrophilic materials). Exclusion Zone (EZ) water extends almost everywhere in nature, including the human body, and can increase through electric charge or exposure to light (electromagnetic energy).

EZ water is particularly viscous and dense, more alkaline, and negatively charged than regular water. Importantly, the water in cells is not regular water but highly structured and possesses special properties. Fourth phase water is structured as H3O2 instead of H2O, which may have profound implications for cellular processes and potentially consciousness itself.

The unique properties of EZ water may provide the material conditions for consciousness to influence material systems toward coherence. This structured water could act as a bridge between the non-material realm of consciousness and the physical world, potentially explaining how subtle influences from consciousness can lead to significant changes in biological systems.

Qi as Bioenergy: Coordination and Cooperation

Modern bioenergy research reimagines the concept of Qi, often described as a vital life force in traditional Chinese medicine. Anderson and Abreu present an alternative model of qi as a kind of coordination of a distributed group of systems toward achieving a desired outcome. They re-frame qi as similarity of desired outcome, values, or rapport, where this outcome can be the state of cooperation itself.

This perspective suggests that Qi acts as a collective force, facilitating communication and synchronization among cells, tissues, and even between organisms and their environments. Abreu proposes that bioenergy, a principle associated with the state and essence of consciousness, signifies a growing resemblance, collaboration, resonance, harmony, coherence, and order.

Interestingly, Abreu proposes that terabytes of shared meaningful information (called “information units”) could be a more useful unit of qi than energy units such as the joule or BTU. This concept of qi as a measure of shared meaningful information opens up new ways of thinking about the nature of life force energy and its relationship to consciousness and physical reality.

Consciousness and Matter: A Two-Way Street

The Qi-Water Bridge concept challenges traditional views of consciousness as merely a product of brain activity. Instead, it proposes a dynamic interplay between consciousness and physical reality, where each can influence the other. This raises the intriguing question: how does nonlocal consciousness interact with the local material world?

The Biofield: A Foundation for Consciousness-Matter Interaction

Modelers often use the concept of the biofield as a foundation to model how consciousness might manifest in the material world. Scholars of consciousness anomalies, out-of-body experiences, and life force energy have proposed a vital force or biofield as the interface between the body and consciousness.

Abreu proposes that this biofield may provide the conditions for a non-material process to employ the biofield as a means of creating meaningful information patterns to affect material reality via the brain. The quality of water, which is essential to life, may also serve as a perfect medium for consciousness to influence the physical body.

The biofield concept suggests that there is an energetic field surrounding and permeating living organisms, which may serve as a medium for consciousness to interact with physical matter. This field could potentially explain phenomena such as distant healing, the placebo effect, and other instances where consciousness appears to influence physical reality in ways that are difficult to explain through conventional scientific models.

Empirical Research

Recent studies, including those conducted at the Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research Lab (PEAR), have explored the potential for human consciousness to influence physical systems. These experiments suggest that focused intention may affect random processes, hinting at a deeper connection between mind and matter.

Wagner Alegretti conducted fMRI research on brain activity in the space outside the brain, as well as certain objects placed within the fMRI machine. His research revealed the detection of an anomalous vibrational state in the space just outside the brain and in certain objects. It appears that the vibrational state (ordered qi) and exteriorization of qi (shared qi) change subatomic properties of matter in and around certain targets such as the brain, an egg, or even the phantom fluid used in fMRI studies.

Notably, water is one of the common elements present in all of these examples, suggesting that fluid appears to be highly responsive to qi effects due to its peculiar properties. The fMRI identifies coherence in the spin of protons, potentially indicating a higher level of order in the physical realm due to consciousness.

These findings challenge our conventional understanding of the relationship between consciousness and physical reality, suggesting that there may be subtle yet measurable ways in which our thoughts and intentions can influence the world around us.

Quantum Coherence and Consciousness

The Qi-Water Bridge concept aligns with emerging theories in quantum biology, suggesting that quantum coherence in biological systems may play a crucial role in consciousness. This perspective proposes that structured water within cells could facilitate quantum interactions, potentially explaining how consciousness might influence matter at a fundamental level.

Ulisse di Corpo and Antonella Vannini proposed that anomalous properties of water like the “hydrogen bridge” could create a mechanism for consciousness to affect matter. They suggest that consciousness may bridge the gap between the subatomic and macroscopic levels through water, which may be why water is essential for life.

This quantum approach to consciousness and water opens up fascinating possibilities for understanding how microscopic quantum effects could scale up to influence macroscopic biological processes. The unique properties of water, especially in its structured fourth phase, may serve as the ideal medium for living systems to maintain and utilize quantum coherence.

The Unique Properties of Water and Consciousness

Water possesses several unique properties that make it particularly conducive for consciousness to express itself through bioenergy:

1. Dipole Nature: Water is a dipole and acts like a magnet. The oxygen in water has a negative charge, while the hydrogen in water has a positive charge. These charges can attract other water molecules, forming strong hydrogen bonds through intermolecular force. This dipole nature allows water to interact with a wide range of molecules, potentially contributing to its ability to respond to subtle influences from consciousness.
2. Structured Water: The water in cells is highly structured and possesses special properties. Fourth phase structured water may provide the material conditions for consciousness to influence material systems toward coherence. This structured water could act as a quantum coherent medium, allowing for long-range correlations and information transfer within biological systems.
3. Low-Entropy Environments: Water may have the tendency to present itself in low-entropy and structured environments that make it attractive to consciousness as an order-affecting agent. This may be why water has proven itself to be essential for biological life. The ability of water to create and maintain these low-entropy environments could be crucial for the emergence and sustenance of life and consciousness.
4. Sensitivity to Bioenergy: Water may be more sensitive to bioenergy because it is sensitive to consciousness as an ordering principle. This sensitivity could explain why water is crucial for life processes. Water’s ability to respond to subtle energetic influences may make it an ideal medium for expressing consciousness in the physical world.
5. Information Storage and Transfer: Recent research suggests that water may have the ability to store and transfer information through its molecular structure and dynamics. This property could be critical for understanding how consciousness interacts with biological systems, potentially explaining phenomena such as homeopathy and water memory.

Resonance and Cooperation in Consciousness

The Qi-Water Bridge concept introduces the idea of resonance as a form of cooperation in consciousness. We can view resonance as a metaphor for individuals’ similarity and coherence in attention, purpose, intention, meaning, emotional states, or other aspects. This resonance would then increase order in the subjective world, as well as reduce informational entropy.

Increased resonance in the subjective realm has a comparable effect in the physical realm, according to research from the PEAR lab and others. Increased order in random number generators and other stochastic physical devices used in experiments reflects this. A large group of people entering into emotional resonance with one another has been shown to reduce the randomness of stochastic systems, suggesting an information and meaning-based approach to the connection between consciousness and physical reality and the brain.

This concept of resonance and cooperation in consciousness has profound implications for our understanding of human relationships, social dynamics, and collective consciousness. It suggests that when individuals align their intentions and emotions, they may be able to create tangible effects in the physical world, potentially explaining phenomena such as group meditation effects or the power of collective prayer.

Negative Entropy and Consciousness

Schrödinger argued that negative entropy was involved in coherent mechanisms. Negative entropy, defined as a decrease in disorder or an increase in organization, may play a crucial role in how consciousness interacts with physical systems. The structured nature of fourth phase water may provide the material conditions for consciousness to influence material systems toward coherence, potentially explaining how consciousness can affect physical reality through relatively small influences.

The concept of negative entropy in relation to consciousness suggests a fundamental link between life and consciousness and the creation and maintenance of order in the universe. It implies that conscious beings may play a crucial role in countering the universal tendency towards entropy, potentially giving new meaning to our existence and purpose in the cosmos.

Nelson Abreu’s Qi-Water Bridge concept offers a compelling framework for exploring the intricate relationship between consciousness, energy, and matter. By bridging ancient wisdom with cutting-edge science, this approach opens up new possibilities for healing, personal growth, and technological innovation.
