Central Virginia IONS Community Group Program Title:
“Living in a Mindful Universe (Friday) and Into the Heart of Consciousness (Saturday).”
Our January 2018 program, a special event, will feature a Friday evening event and a Saturday workshop by Eben Alexander, M.D. and Karen Newell. It will be based on their new book, Living in a Mindful Universe – A Neurosurgeon’s Journey into the Heart of Consciousness.
In 2008, Dr. Alexander miraculously survived a devastating, life-threatening case of bacterial meningitis, which resulted in his lapsing into a weeklong coma, when his brainwave activity was effectively zero by measurable medical standards. During those seven days in coma, he was plunged into the deepest realms of consciousness, and came to understand profound truths about the universe we inhabit.
What he learned changed everything he thought he knew about the brain, the mind and consciousness, and drove him to ask a question which still confounds the entire scientific community: How do you explain the origins of consciousness if it is not a by-product of the brain?
Embracing his radically new worldview, Eben embarked on a committed journey of personal exploration into the
nature of consciousness. During this exploration he met and began a collaboration with Karen Newell, who was
already living the worldview he had only just discovered was possible.
Together, they now teach others how to tap into their greater mind and the power of the heart to facilitate enhancement of healing, relationships, creativity,
guidance and more. During their workshop, Eben and Karen will share their insights into the true nature of consciousness and how we all are connected through the binding force of unconditional love and its unlimited power to heal.
Using various modalities related to meditation and mindfulness, they will help you gain the power to access that infinite source of knowing so vital to us all, ultimately enriching every facet of our lives!
