IONS Fellow Michael Sapiro, PsyD, one of the teachers of the IONS iRest Course for Older Adults, discusses his personal and professional experiences with Integrative Restoration (iRest) and how it may help people experiencing mood symptoms like anxiety or depression.

What is humanity’s next moonshot? How do we accelerate positive possibilities for our future? How can scientific knowledge and inner wisdom be used together to give insights into our lives and the world at this critical time on the planet?

In modern times, human beings have gone to great lengths to understand the far reaches of outer space, but for most, the knowledge and wisdom of our internal realms are still undiscovered.

Consciousness remains a huge mystery. We all have it, but science has no idea how it could arise from a physical brain. Our brain is physical and yet our consciousness is not. How could a nonphysical consciousness emerge from a physical brain? Science Magazine has called this “hard problem” the #2 question remaining in all of science!

Each and every one of us is brought into existence to live a life of joy, fulfillment, and abundance. Yet more often than not, we are conditioned to settle, to dream small (or worse, not at all), and to let outside circumstances dictate the course of our lives. Sadly, many people live their entire lives believing that their circumstances have complete control over their results, but that’s simply not true!

“Mind Over Matter” parties were created and perfected by the late citizen scientist Jack Houck in the 1980s. By day, he ran a research lab at an aerospace company, and by night he researched his growing fascination with psychokinesis with over 16,000 people. His eight-plus years of research resulted in a repeatable methodology which enables 85% of participants to bend spoons. This phenomenon is possible with a single person but gets much easier when a group of 15 or more create a peak emotional experience together.

One of the more popular alternative treatments for physical pain and emotional distress is Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), a form of energy psychology often referred to as “tapping.” It combines elements of methods like cognitive therapy with acupressure, utilizing a tapping motion focusing on the meridian points that are best known in Chinese medicine. It’s practiced by approximately 20-million people worldwide, and evidence supporting its effectiveness has been reported in numerous studies published in peer-reviewed biomedical journals.

IONS^x is a cutting-edge, application-driven research program that demonstrates practical examples of consciousness affecting our physical world. One of the major hurdles to moving beyond our materialistic paradigm is the difficulty of being able to clearly demonstrate to anyone, without the use of scientific arguments, the reality that consciousness directly affects the physical world. We can show examples of this in laboratory studies with statistics, but we have not been able to reliably demonstrate this with a real-world direct experience that anyone could see with their naked eye. IONS^x promises just that. One goal of IONS^x is to create an ethical, consciousness-dependent switch that responds to a specific mental signal from the operator. By consciousness-dependent we mean that it is not mediated by any conventional technology, electromagnetic or other physical force, and is non-local.
