Prānā can also radiate from the body in the form of an electromagnetic radiance and connective tissues in the body may act as a semiconductor and transform minute DC currents (Rosch 2009, 297– 310). Furthermore, the current flow between the environment (earth) and a grounded human body is apparent (Kent et al . 2014, 239–240). Electric fields have the potential to disrupt a wider range of behaviours in living organisms like marine animals (Daniel et al . 2020, 2). Laboratory study also verified the emission of energy contiguity to Chi (Qi)/ESP activities in the form of electromagnetic radiation from healers and meditators with their intention to project the energy (Joines et al . 2012, 275). Information from the environment is not only received by the organisms through receptors but also beyond the sphere of sensory experiences (Adamski 2013, 466). The higher mental processes activate bodily representations in central somatosensory areas and generate conscious bodily sensations with no sensual circumstances (Beissner et al. 2015, 1–18). Results of this study suggest that guna sattva and guna tamas are associated with the electric experience. Electric experience refers to the participants reporting of a sensation simi - lar to the experiencing of electric current or shock when they felt prānic energy. This study documented that when sattva guna increases than electric experience will decrease, vice versa when tamas guna increases than electric experience also increases. 4 Conclusion The study findings demonstrate the fact that prānic expe - riences can be ascertained quantitatively by measuring the distance between the two palms and assess the quality of experience based on the intensity of felt energy, type of feeling, and position of hand where they felt the energy. The relation of sattva, rājas , and tamas to prānic perception in general is insignificant, except in the experience of electrical sensations. Guna sattva is negatively correlated, while guna tamas is correlated positively with electrical sensation. However, further studies are required to understand the underlying relationship between the two.
