IONS President and Senior Scientist Cassandra Vieten was recently a guest on The Consciousness Podcast with Stuart Preston. They had a great conversation and covered consciousness, interconnectedness, spirituality, and much more. Please enjoy this episode with Dr. Cassandra Vieten.
Take a peek into a chapter from the new book, Connected: The Emergence of Global Consciousness, written by IONS Fellow, Dr. Roger Nelson. In this book, Roger tells the story of the Global Consciousness Project (GCP), a unique 20-year scientific collaboration of researchers recording the effects of mass consciousness in response to major global events.
On Friday, July 19th at the 2019 IONS International Conference, attendees will have the unique opportunity to display an informational poster that highlights their noetically inspired projects, ideas, research, and work in the world.
A lot of people are worried that their jobs will be taken over by artificial intelligence (AI). According to a 2018 Harvard Business Review article, while the concern is widespread, this outcome is not so likely – instead, AI will probably be integrated into organizations to assist humans in their work.
IONS is committed to supporting the next generation of noetic scholars, thought leaders, entrepreneurs, and practitioners in their professional lives. We understand the importance of expanding the legacy of the noetic field and recognize that those of the millennial generation are uniquely positioned to take this work to amazing new heights.
The IONS Science Team recently published the results of the study, A Physiological Examination of Perceived Incorporation During Trance, which evaluated neurophysiological measures in trance channels before, during and after channeling sessions. We hypothesized that differences in EEG frequency measures and autonomic nervous system measures (such as heart rate variability, respiration, and electrodermal activity) would be observed between the channeling and non-channeling states.
Most of us could use more mindfulness in our lives. Whether it’s fully present listening when someone is speaking, remembering to chew our food slowly and deliberately, accepting a triggered emotion when we get cut off while driving, or staying grounded in difficult parenting moments — there are ample opportunities to become a more conscious human being. One of the joys of working at a retreat center is the gift of supporting folks on their personal development intentions to become more mindful.
The IONS Science Team is working on an exciting, new ground-breaking research study — Exceptional Healers Pilot Study, evaluating the effectiveness of energy medicine modalities on carpal tunnel pain. Recruitment for participants and volunteers has just begun!
Do you have a project, passion, or body of work that you would like to share with a global noetic community? We’re happy to announce that there are two exciting ways to share your work with the IONS community at the upcoming 18th International Conference on July 18-21, 2019, in Santa Clara, CA.
