Spontaneous Remission Database

For decades, spontaneous remissions have existed at the edges of medicine: documented, debated, and often dismissed as anomalies rather than explored as clues. Yet within these rare cases may lie patterns that could reshape how we understand cancer, healing, and what the human body is capable of.

The Spontaneous Remission Database continues the earlier work as a searchable resource. It preserves the original bibliography while extending it with newly identified cases through 2025.

Discover the Future of Meditation Research

Our research at IONS has identified meditation as one of the key practices for cultivating positive transformations in consciousness – the kinds that involve fundamental shifts in worldviews and ways of being that affect every aspect of daily life.

Mapping the Field of Subtle Energy Healing

This web resource serves as a selective literature review, highlighting the subtle energies and energy healing modalities that have been evaluated experimentally. It is intended that this resource will assist patients and health professionals to navigate the vast field of subtle energies and energy healing modalities for use in their personal and professional endeavors.

IONS Meditation Bibliography (1997-2013)

The IONS Meditation Bibliography was originally compiled and edited by Michael Murphy, co-founder of Esalen Institute, in collaboration with Steven Donovan. It was published in print in 1997 as The Physical and Psychological Effects of Meditation: A Review of Contemporary Research with an introduction by Eugene Taylor.

From 1997 to 2013, IONS developed and maintained an online bibliography of all published research on meditation. With the advent of Google Scholar and other easy-to-use scholarly search engines that are updated in real-time, we have retired the IONS Meditation Bibliography. If you would like to do a thorough search for all articles related to meditation, we suggest these search terms: “meditation” or “meditative” or “mindfulness” or “contemplative” or “centering prayer” or “nonduality” or “yoga” or “mantra.”
