An additional outcome of the Biofield Science and Healing conference was creation of Consciousness and Healing Initiative (CHI). The purpose of this nonprofit collaborative is to evolve the scientific understanding and real-world application of consciousness and healing practices, so that individuals and societies are empowered with the knowledge and tools to ignite their healing potential and thus lead more healthy, fulfilling lives. Dr. Guarneri is a CHI Founding Advisor, and the CHI office, located at Pacific Pearl La Jolla, is sponsored by Miraglo Foundation.

CHI provides resources to the general public, as well as scientists, educators and healthcare practitioners who are passionate about serving others through the understanding and practice of healing. CHI actualizes its mission to accelerate the science and practice of consciousness and healing via Transdisciplinary Research, Technology Innovation, and Education and Outreach.
