A quantitative arm-muscle test that measured the time dependence of the downward force on a subject's arms and the distance the arms were moved downward was developed to monitor changes in body energy. The changes are ascribed to mind-body interactions. In Part 1, eleven subjects were tested 9 to 10 times after viewing a card marked "sick" or "well." Generally, arm strength was less after viewing a "sick" than a "well" card. The means of the distances that the arms were lowered between viewing the "sick" and "well" cards gave statistical significance of p≤0.038 for six subjects and p<0.0000003 for the group. In Part 2, ten subjects were each tested after a Qigong master affected their body energy by using a set of non-verbal qigong maneuvers to either weaken or strengthen a subject's body energy. For the group, the means of the distances that the arms were lowered after weakening and strengthening maneuvers were statistically different with a p-value = 0.00048. The statistical analysis was performed using the Student T-test and by omitting the initial muscle strength readings.
