Abstract
Objective: To study the effects of Pranic Healing (PH) on surface tension of water. Methods: This study involved the application of the PH on water and observing the changes in the surface tension (ST) values. ST was measured in the Pranic and Control using the Capillary rise method and the data were analyzed using Mann- Whitney U test. Findings: The results showed that the ST of water reduced significantly, after 20 minutes in the PH-treated samples, when compared to control. Additionally, contact angle also reduced due to PH, showing an increase in wettability. It has given indications that the Pranic healing could be used in modulating the physical property of water. Novelty: Pranic Healing, reduces the ST of water, which would be beneficial since it directly affects the absorption of nutrients by living beings from the fluid medium.

Highlights
Results show that there was no significant difference in surface tension values of water in pranic and control group before healing (z=.000, U= 12.500, p=1n.s.)
Contact Angle (θ ) While continuously observing the top meniscus of water in the capillary tube, it came to notice that the contact angle (θ ) is changing - towards reducing from the initial value
It has been observed that the surface tension of water can be decreased
Summary
Over 70% of earth surface is covered by water. The reduction of water surface tension (ST) is beneficial for soil water retention. Roots release rhizodeposits which act as surfactants in soil, which help water retention of soil [1,2] It has been stated as early as in 1912 that, if water’s ST reduces, it would be more permeable through cell membrane. The PH as an energy-healing modality has been studied on plants, and better results have been observed in terms of the growth rate of seedlings [13], vegetative growth characteristics [14]; nutritional content and yield per plant[15]. This led to investigate whether Pranic healing influences properties of water
