“The Power of Eight is at once a revolution and an evolution in understanding, which opens us to both proof and practice of how the powers of a group intention can transmute and transform our pathos and our pain.”—Jean Houston, PhD, chancellor, Meridian University
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.

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.

“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.
