    The Physics of God: A Book Review

    The Physics of God: How the Deepest Theories of Science Explain Religion and How the Deepest Truths of Religion Explain Science by Joseph Selbie | New Page Books (October 1, 2021) 2nd Edition   I found The Physics of God by Joseph Selbie completely fascinating. The book addresses how the science of religion and the modern (quantum physics) science of reality are fully congruent with one another. His writing style is easy to read and understand. The examples he gives… Read more »

  • Travel Iowa photo: View this email in your browser The Power of Groups Meditating Dear all, I think you all know how I feel about meditation and how important it is for our wellbeing. All of us easily recognize the benefits of meditating for individuals. In Mayo Clinic’s article Meditation: A simple, fast way to reduce stress, the Clinic states that “Meditation can wipe away the day's stress, bringing with it inner peace.” In the last few years there has been more and more research about group meditation. It shows that group meditation is an equally powerful tool. Small groups meditating for peace have reduced crime and stress in an area while increasing happiness. Yet, few government organizations take these peaceful efforts seriously. People understand the individual benefits but are having a hard time understanding that organized groups meditating for peace can make an enormous difference. Unfortunately, research shows that once the group stops meditating, it only takes about 12 weeks for the city or country to move back to baseline. Collective Consciousness One of the first documented experiences of collective consciousness happened in 1983 through Maharishi Technology of the Unified Field when groups agreed to meditate together for peace. Results were tracked in Israel and Lebanon using quality of life factors. They measured crime, accidents, and stock market results in Israel and Jerusalem. In Lebanon they also measured war effects like deaths and intensity. All areas used news publications to capture quality of life indicators. The results found that the group meditation effectively relieved some of the societal stress. You can find the research at International Peace Project in the Middle East: The Effects of the Maharishi Technology of the Unified Field. Founded in 1998, the Global Consciousness Project is an international, multidisciplinary collaboration of scientists and engineers. It is based on noosphere which Meriam Webster describes as “the sphere of human consciousness and mental activity...” The word noosphere was first recorded in 1927. Based out of Princeton University, the Global Consciousness Project collects data continuously from a global network of sources. Research results can be found on their website and their current activity on Facebook. Most recently students at Asbury University in Wilmore, Kentucky began a revival from February 8, 2023, that ended with the National Collegiate Day of Prayer on the 23rd. It drew tens of thousands of outside visitors to the town to be a part of the event and other students have started their own revivals on college campuses across the States. A Times’ article, What Asbury’s Christian Revival Says About America’s Need for Connection, quoted a professor who described the event prior to the public influx as “a long exhale taken by my anxious students” followed by “an infilling of a holy calm.” In the Cincinnati Inquirer Wilmore Mayor Harold Rainwater reported, “In addition to the economic spike, the city of Wilmore experienced zero arrests during the nonstop revival, Rainwater said. To his knowledge, no fights or altercations took place, either.” The world has been watching: How a small service at Asbury took the globe by storm Haadiza Ogwude Cincinnati Enquirer | Updated February 27, 2023 World Peace A 2001 Chicago Tribune article, Town sees mass meditation as way to world peace, introduced me to Maharishi Vedic City, Iowa. This unusual town is built around transcendental meditation and the ancient Vedic principles of balance and harmony. According to the Tribune, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi whose followers founded Vedic City is the same Yogi who originally taught baby boomers transcendental meditation in the 1960’s and conducted the 1983 research project mentioned above. The city promotes group meditating among its residents and visitors. In addition, they’re establishing peace centers throughout the world hosting group meditating.

  • Your Thoughts Control You

    I am understanding more and more how our health, our wealth, our happiness — our everything depends on our thoughts. The adage “What you think about; comes about” is so true. I’ve known and tried to practice this for years; however, today I have a greater understanding of why it is so important. Lately I have been studying Bruce Lipton, Shamini Jain, and Jean Houston among others. Although they come from varied backgrounds, had their own unique experiences, and enjoy… Read more »

  • We are Nature.

    We are Nature. As I was saying goodbye to the old year and thinking about the new, I was reminded about our belief systems. What beliefs do I carry with me that I could strengthen to help improve my life and the lives of others? The obvious is my service as a healer, but I was searching for the not so obvious. My thoughts brought me to the idea that we are as much a part of nature as the… Read more »

  • Planting Trees

    Planting Trees Last month I had the pleasure of attending another lecture by Diana Beresford–Kruger. Beresford-Kruger is a world-renowned medical biochemist and botanist in addition to being an author. You may recognize the name as I reviewed her book, To Speak for the Trees, in September of 2019. I feel the same appreciation of her work in 2022 as I did back in 2019. Check out my blog for her background. This time the take-away message was directed closer to home.… Read more »

  • Believe & Know

    Believe & Know Sometimes you need to shift your focus to change your belief system. Often, we go along without thinking about our beliefs and what they bring to our day. To quote the American Industrialist Henry Ford, “Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t–you’re right.” If your belief system includes believing in miracles, you will witness many miracles in your life as you will focus on them. If you think your day will turn out awful,… Read more »

  • Re-evaluate Your Shoes

    Earthing and you We are electrical creatures. Energy flows through us into everything that we touch – and vice versa. This includes the energy to and from the earth where we get our food, water, and shelter. Researchers have discovered that our dependence on Mother Earth is so strong, that we need her energy too.
