  Overview     
   

The institute's work is dedicated to transforming contemporary worldviews on the relationship between consciousness and matter. The implications of our empirical research and community education efforts extend far beyond the laboratory and the lecture hall. Indeed, our work speaks to a shift involving humanity's deepest knowing and understanding of ourselves and our universe.

Living Deeply - The Art & Science of Transformation in Everyday Life
This exciting book, written by Marilyn Mandala Schlitz, PhD; Cassandra Vieten, PhD; and Tina Amorok, PsyD; draws from the Institute of Noetic Sciences' thirty years of groundbreaking research on human consciousness. The authors' premise is simple, yet radical: your behavior, attitudes, and ways of being in the world are changed in life-affirming and lasting ways only when your consciousness transforms, and you commit to living deeply into that transformation. There is also a companion DVD that introduces powerful practices for Living Deeply, and there are workshops with the authors, eLearning and more.

Research Internship Opportunities

Today, our research and education department is focused on three primary areas of scientific inquiry: Extended Human Capacities, Integral Health & Healing, and Emerging Worldviews. Supported by our in-house researchers and our extended faculty, our programs are contributing to the body of knowledge about the richness of humanity's inner life and its effects on the world around us.

You can now browse the institute's Distant Healing Project, which overlaps with all three of the research program areas. Video interviews, research results, and much more are available in our Distant Healing site. We have also published a series of monographs and books on science and consciousness such as the Spontaneous Remission Bibliography and The Physical & Psychological Effects of Meditation.

The institute's psychophysiological research lab was completed soon after the institute moved to its campus in Petaluma, California. Today, we conduct research projects in the lab, including a joint study in April 2004 with Dr Richard Wiseman of the University of Hertfordshire.

You can participate in IONS' research now by trying out our online psi games. Created by IONS Senior Scientist Dean Radin, this project (entiltled "Garden of Dreams") lets you test your intuitive abilities in real time.

Our DVDs and CDs on research topics are part of our educational outreach intitiative. You can hear and watch sample clips and then purchase these multimedia programs.

For more than 30 years, the mission of the institute has been to explore the mystery of consciousness and its potentials for transformation. We posit that human awareness and abilities can expand beyond the confines of conditioned responses, cultural fixations, and limited belief systems. We invite you to join us in this adventure of exploration and discovery.
