Mindfulness Science Keynote Lecture with Arnaud Delorme, PhD

Join the USC Center for Mindfulness Science on October 18th for their upcoming Mindfulness Science Keynote Lecture with guest speaker and IONS Scientist Dr. Arnaud Delorme, PhD.

Arnaud will be presenting his research on the neural correlates of meditation and extraordinary experiences, including anomalous so-called “paranormal” experiences. Arnaud has been conducting numerous scientific studies on meditation over the past two decades. He was one of the first ones to report brain activity analyzed with reference to purely introspective measures — without external cues — during meditation, contributing to the growing appreciation for neurophenomenological investigations of meditation.

Arnaud’s research focused on mind wandering during meditation has demonstrated that mind wandering decreases with meditation experience and the neural correlates related to this decrease. He also has a keen interest in theories of consciousness and transcendent experience both during and outside of meditation.

Arnaud will be presenting some provocative results on the study of the brain of mediums and healers, integrating these findings with those from meditators to provide insights into the nature of consciousness and its relation to the brain.

Medical Intuition Summit

As a committed, dedicated student of the healing arts — whether you’re a seasoned therapeutic medical professional or a holistic energy healer — you may ask yourself if expanding your toolkit to include medical intuition might be the next logical step in your evolving practice.

Medical intuition skills can — and do — benefit people who are engaged in a wide variety of healing practices across a broad spectrum of Western and Eastern modalities, such as energy workers, Reiki masters, mediums, and traditional medical professionals who’ve earned their advanced-level degrees studying more conventional Western medicine allopathic practices.

Many therapists, doctors, nurses, clinicians, holistic health coaches/teachers, and those looking to explore a rewarding career at the leading edge of the healthcare revolution, backed by exciting new science, are already enthusiastically exploring this new frontier while facilitating profound healing experiences for their clients.

Medical intuition involves using intuitive or extrasensory abilities to gain insights into a person’s health and well-being.

By perceiving information about a person’s physical, emotional, and spiritual health that might not be readily apparent through conventional medical methods, you, the practitioner, can make potential treatment recommendations as a result of identifying imbalances and other underlying causes of all manner of ailments.

By delving into medical intuition, you’ll gain insights and skills that go beyond conventional methods, allowing you to contribute to the healing journeys of others on deeper and more holistic levels — integrating medical intuition with more conventional healthcare to provide your clients with a more complete picture of their health.

Tap Into Your Own Unique Channeling Method

The Shift Network and IONS are partnering to invite you to join the new free event, Tap Into Your Own Unique Channeling Method: Experience Your Noetic Signature™ Through a Guided Energetic Clearing & Visualization.

Channeling is not as mysterious as it seems, and you don’t have to be a “gifted” psychic or medium to access information that’s beyond your thinking mind or traditional five senses. Channeling is the process of revealing information and energy not limited by our conventional notions of space and time.
It can happen in a variety of forms — not just the trance kind of channeling that most of us think of when we imagine it. Some people have hunches, while others rely on highly tuned intuition. It can also present as mediumship, precognition, telepathy, impressions, clairvoyance, clairaudience, and the list goes on…
You can begin discovering your specific method through a variety of practices and processes that can help open up, ignite, and hone your channeling skills…
… until it becomes second nature and an everyday tool at your disposal to help guide you in making decisions with more ease and assuredness.
On Saturday, September 16, join IONS Director of Research Helané Wahbeh in an illuminating free online event in which she’ll share the many different types of channeling — and ways to improve your channeling capacity so you can begin building your own personal practice.

In this engaging hour, you’ll discover:

  • A broader definition of channeling as the receiving of information and energy that’s not limited by our conventional senses — through intuition, gut hunches, mediumship, trance channeling, and more
  • A guided meditative visualization to experience channeling for yourself
  • That there’s no “right” way to channel because everyone has their own individual way of receiving information — their unique Noetic Signature
  • How channeling can enable you to make more easeful, less anxiety-provoking choices because it supports your power of discernment
  • Ways to determine whether the information you’re receiving through channeling is true

As you develop more trust in your channeling abilities and better understand the language of the unseen, you generate more ease and flow in your life, which ripples out to your relationships, families, communities, and beyond.

In Tap Into Your Own Unique Channeling Method: Experience Your Noetic Signature™ Through a Guided Energetic Clearing & Visualization with Helané Wahbeh you’ll discover the many forms of channeling, and how to tap into your own unique intuitive method — or Noetic Signature — with effective practices and techniques, so you can build trust in your choices and live in greater alignment with your highest good.

We hope you’re able to catch the event as scheduled. But if you register and miss it, you’ll receive a downloadable recording as soon as it’s available.

Neuroscience Needs a Revolution to Understand Consciousness

Despite the vast detailed knowledge of the brain, neuroscience cannot 1) explain consciousness, memory, binding nor real-time conscious action, 2) effectively treat Alzheimer’s or other brain disorders, nor 3) define our place in the universe. Why not? Oversimplified cartoon neurons.

‘AI’ has reinforced the notion of the brain as a complex computer of simple, empty, ‘cartoon’ neurons based on 1950s physiology, processing solely by surface membranes, synaptic transmissions, and firings as “bit-like’ units in frequencies up to 100 hertz.

But deeper, faster, coherent, and quantum non-local information processes in cytoskeletal microtubules inside neurons regulate neuronal-level functions. Over the past 10 years, Anirban Bandyopadhyay has discovered coherent kilohertz, megahertz, gigahertz, and terahertz resonance vibrations in microtubules, with megahertz and gigahertz detectable from the human scalp. Aarat Kalra, Jack Tuszynski, Travis Craddock, and others have shown quantum optical effects in microtubules are inhibited by anesthetics that selectively block consciousness.

The Penrose-Hameroff ‘Orch OR’ theory proposes consciousness depends on ‘orchestrated’ (‘Orch’) quantum superpositions leading to Penrose ‘objective reductions’ (‘OR’, wavefunction self-collapses) in brain microtubules, connecting to fundamental spacetime geometry. Orch OR has more explanatory power, connection to biology, and experimental validation than all ‘neuroscientific’ theories based on low-frequency, oversimplified cartoon neurons combined.

Neuroscience needs a revolution inward, to deeper, faster quantum processes in microtubules to understand consciousness and treat its disorders.

This event features an incredible lineup of speakers, including IONS Chief Scientist Dean Radin, Sir Roger Penrose, Stuart Hameroff, and many more!

At the Edges of Consciousness

The study of consciousness requires that we take seriously the many flavors of human experience, even those—ranging from psychedelics and lucid dreaming to synchronicities, near-death experiences and mystical phenomena—that could be said to enter through the ‘backdoors of perception.’ Such experiences have until now been largely avoided by academia and left to lie beyond the border of what is typically explored scientifically and discussed in public.

However, now it is more openly being asked whether such experiences can actually inform—and even transform—not just neuroscience and fundamental physics but also our very understanding of the nature of reality and our collective and individual place in the world.

The Pari Center seeks to bring together world-renowned experts from a variety of disciplines, including IONS Chief Scientist Dean Radin (via Zoom), to meet together and deepen our insights on the workings and bases of such experiences, while also exploring creative and rigorous frameworks to integrate such a constellation into a coherent understanding.

Through presentations and informal discussions in a convivial atmosphere, attendees will learn about and have opportunities to discuss the insights and research findings of world-renowned experts on what are called ‘exceptional’ experiences. The subject fits under the umbrella of consciousness research, which is currently enjoying a huge renaissance in terms of general interest and academic momentum.

Join the Pari Center for this groundbreaking event.
