Podcasts: Consciousness Merlian News Podcasts with Lynne McTaggart on The Bond Lynne McTaggart, one of the preeminent spokespersons on consciousness, the new physics and the science of spirituality, is the award-winning journalist and author of five books, including the worldwide bestsellers The Field and The Intention Experiment. Lynne’s latest book is entitled The Bond: Connecting Through the Space Between Us. In this podcast, Lynne discusses the subjects explained in her book The Bond with Merryn Jose.
Consciousness Anita Moorjani: She Crossed Over and Came Back to Share What She Learned
Anita’s website explains, “Doctors at the hospital had given Anita just hours to live when she arrived at the hospital that morning, unable to move as a result of the cancer that had ravaged her body for over three years. Anita shares her experience of entering another dimension and being given a choice of whether to return to life or not. She experienced great clarity and understanding of her life and purpose here on earth. Anita subsequently chose to return to life when she understood that “heaven” is a state, and not a place. This subsequently led to a remarkable and complete recovery of her health.” The account of Anita’s experience has been documented by NDERF (Near Death Experience Research Foundation) and has been classified as an “Exceptional NDE”.
Conscious Eating Qigong, Food-Based Healing & Jeff Primack Jeff Primack teaches, “Most diseases are reversible with food. However, just eating healthy is not enough. The real secret lies in using “specific foods for specific diseases”. For example, kiwi is quick to help reverse Asthma, which we’ve seen hundreds of our students reverse within 1 week of following the Asthma food protocol. Asthma is a completely unnecessary disease and is nutritionally caused. Other diseases like Arthritis & Diabetes are also frequently reversed with common foods. This information can dramatically change medicine as we know it.”
Meditation Transcendental Meditation Experiment Arrests Crime: Study Shows Dramatic Drop in Violent Crime During D.C. Project by Alltm.org Alltm.org reports, “Researchers predicted in advance that the calming influence of group meditation practice could reduce violent crime by over 20 percent in Washington, D.C., during an 8-week period in the summer of 1993. In fact, the findings later showed that the rate of violent crime–which included assaults, murders, and rapes–decreased by 23 percent during the June 7 to July 30 experimental period. The odds of this result occurring by chance are less than 2 in 1 billion. Rigorous statistical analyses ruled out an extensive list of alternative explanations, according to John Hagelin, lead author of the study…”
Wellbeing & Healing The Chi Center: Wisdom Healing Qigong Website™ According to The Chi Center, “Wisdom Healing Qigong was developed by Dr. Ming Pang, a Qigong Grandmaster trained in both western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine. He synthesized his profound medical knowledge of the old and new healing sciences with the ancient Qigong practice. The result is an integrative system of self-healing and cultivation that is suited for the modern pragmatic world.”
Spirituality Prayer for the Earth by Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee says, “Prayer is a way to be with the Divine–from the prayer born from need, where we tell God our needs, to the deeper prayer which takes us beyond any words into the oneness and silence within the heart. Prayer is the simplest and most natural way to communicate with the Divine. Prayer is the heart speaking. There are the prescribed prayers, the rituals of inner communion. But there are also our personal prayers, our way of being with the Divine, with the sacred that is our deepest nature and that of the world around us. In whatever way we are drawn to pray, there is a pressing need at this time to include the earth in our prayers.”
Spirituality Cancer Survivor Lights the Way to Happiness through Human Connection by Seth David Chernoff Seth David Chernoff writes, “A two-time cancer survivor, Chernoff uses his own hard-won insight and life experiences to illuminate for his readers a pathway to full awareness of each moment as an act of love, compassion, joy and peace. He writes that transformation happens and paradigms shift in the now, when there is no dwelling on yesterday or fretting about tomorrow. He says, “The moment we get out of our heads and into our hearts, grace moves in. Living in the moment does not allow time for regret.” ”
Environmental Awareness Hudson River Estuarine Sanctuary at Piermont Pier & Marsh by the Rockland Audubon Society According to the Rockland Audubon Society, “The Piermont Pier & Marshes are located just north of Tallman Mountain State Park and south of the Tappan Zee Bridge (from which Piermont Pier can be seen)… In 1982 NOAA’s Office of Coastal Zone Management formally designated Piermont Marsh as part of a Federal Hudson River Estuarine Sanctuary to be administered by NYSDEC in cooperation with PIPC.”
California AgeSong Institute: A Charitable Fund For Our Elder Care and Educational Programs
AgeSong Institute explains, “AgeSong Institute is an eldercare program of Pacific Institute, a non-profit organization. AgeSong Institute is dedicated to changing the mainstream view of aging. Rather than viewing aging as something to be avoided, we see it as an important phenomenon of life. Aging provides humans with the opportunity to mature and become elders in the true sense of the word: people of wisdom, rich in life experience, able to help us humans and our planet become more aware.”
