Can lucid dreams have a measurable positive impact on PTSD and other stress-related issues? A new study led by IONS researcher Garret Yount, PhD, will involve people experiencing PTSD in an intensive lucid dreaming workshop.
As we explored in last month’s blog, we know that the subjective experience of channeling is very common. However, just because they are common doesn’t mean that they are actually real. What is the evidence that channeling experiences are “real” phenomena, or that channeled information is valid?
In this blog series, we are highlighting IONS staff members’ noetic experiences and practices. These are direct experiences that each person has had with noetic information and energy — from beyond space and time. The various ways that we individually connect with this type of information make up our unique Noetic Signature™. This month, IONS Chief Financial Officer, Johnny Calvert, shares a beautiful piece of writing on his personal exploration towards finding his inner voice and his process of transformation.
On Friday, June 18th, IONS CEO, Claire Lachance, hosted the next installment of our Noetic Leadership series as she talked with Bonny Meyer — Napa Valley legend, passionate venture philanthropist, and author of Perfectly Paired: The Love Affair behind Silver Oak Cellars.
Please join us in welcoming these newly formed IONS Community Groups:
The sweeping golden hills, the expansive views, the beautiful hiking trails, and the energetic land of transformation — here I was, again at the Earthrise Retreat Center, albeit under new, reflective circumstances. As the Senior Experience Program Coordinator, I have been working remotely, away from the IONS campus throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. For over a year, I longed for our communal lunches, the reflective walks through the forests, my peaceful interactions with the local fauna, and the captivating conversations with my IONS co-workers and constituents. This month, I was fortunate to find myself back on this beautiful campus — not as a staff member, but rather as a grateful participant in the extraordinary Hoffman Process.
It seems obvious that each of us is a separate and unique individual. We move through time and space entirely apart from the people and things around us. Or do we?
In this blog series, we are highlighting the practices that our IONS staff members use to connect to information and energy beyond space and time. The various ways that we individually connect with this type of information make up our unique Noetic Signature™. This month, Dr. Helané Wahbeh, IONS Director of Research, shares an energy meditation technique that brings awareness to the energetic body. This will be the first of two blogs on Dr. Wahbeh’s noetic experiential practice.
A lucid dream is a dream during which the dreamer “wakes up” inside the dream. This hybrid state of consciousness allows the dreamer to gain conscious control over the elements within the dream. Past research has shown that practicing physical skills during a lucid dream can boost waking performance. The IONS team is now asking the question of whether experiencing healing in a lucid dream will boost a person’s health.
The Black Plague led to a flowering of spiritual strangeness — a sea change in our spiritual lives.
