Methods There were 33 Name a baptism of undergraduates, been tested of EEG, EMG and EMG before praying, and took qualitative analysis for psychological changes （emotional reactions） and physical and mental experience in pray process. Results After praying myoelectricity baseline value and least value were significantly lower than those before praying, skin temperature maximum and heating ability significantly enhance compared with before praying.
