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.

“If somebody had said before the flight, ‘Are you going to get carried away looking at the earth from the Moon?’ I would have said, ‘No, no way.’ But yet when I first looked back at the Earth, standing on the moon, I cried.” ~ Alan Shepard, Astronaut on Apollo 14 in February 1971.

The Institute of Noetic Sciences acknowledges the significance of expanding the legacy and accessibility of noetic science to the next generation of explorers who are uniquely positioned to take this field to new heights. This year’s IONS International Conference will honor three emerging noetic explorers who are creating space for a brighter future with the second biannual IONS NextGen Consciousness in Action Awards.

Using a process that’s as easy as gargling with Scope, researchers can now gather data to understand how various stimuli activate gene expression in humans. Through a non-invasive method, study participants can now provide a sample of their RNA by swishing a mouthwash solution for 30 seconds, a painless and preferable alternative to drawing blood with a needle.

I cry as I approach the sand.
Rays of light burst forth
from the orange orb descending in the sky.

Art provides an intimate exploration of interconnectivity, a journey into a universal language displayed in a tapestry of diversity, interwoven through vibrant threads of rhythms, sounds, tones, vibrations, movements, hues, shades, costumes, theatrics. The healing power of art is an unexplainable magnificence that starts deep within and spirals outward into an array of beauty and brilliance. Art in many forms has carried messages from one, to many – social, political, ecological issues and movements effectively protested through unique expressions that captivate purpose, intention, personal and collective consciousness. Art reveals the mysteries of the darkness we experience, while emboldening the light within to shine and spread in richness, creativity, and splendor.

In the face of our current global challenges, the world is demanding an entirely new understanding — one that can be found at the intersection of science and spirituality.
