IONS Research - Living Deeply, transformation in Everyday Life

go to overview

Dear Community,

 

Astronaut Edger Mitchell on his way back from the moon had a transcendental experience. Upon returning to the Earth he used all his resources to establish an institute for scientific studies of consciousness, Institute of Noetic Sciences . I have been interviewed there several times and have participated in a number of experiments.

 

Please see below information about their recent book in which such interviews, including my own, have been highlighted.

 

My work has recently been highlighted in the newly published book, Living Deeply: The Art and Science of Transformation in Everyday Life especially in the CD.

 

This is the fruit of a decade-long investigation by the Institute of Noetic Sciences into how people transform their lives. This book weaves together wisdom from the world's transformative traditions with psychological theory and scientific evidence to shed light on how transformation happens, on both the individual and a collective levels.

 

The researchers focused on finding common factors that initiate, stimulate, and support the transformative journey - across hundreds of individuals’ stories of transformation, and across a variety of the world's wisdom traditions - to provide a set of principles and guidelines that you might find useful.

 

With blessings,

 

Swami Veda Bharati
