Certain Spaces Nurture Us, Nisha Manek: EP 341
Rheumatologist Nisha Manek knows that humans are multi-dimensional beings who are seen by modern medicine as only physical entities. Intention can play a huge role in healing because intention can alter physical spaces including the spaces in your own body. In her book Science and Spirit she eloquently bridges the mystical with physics and brings medicine closer to utilizing consciousness to help us heal.
Nisha Manek is an internationally recognized leader in Integrative Medicine. Nisha turned her scientific expertise to the singular question: the nature of consciousness. Her bestseller Bridging Science and Spirit: The Genius of William A. Tiller's Physics and the Promise of Information Medicine proves that human intention and consciousness can change our world. She is committed to advancing medical knowledge and holistic approaches to health.
Nisha is a fellow of the American College of Physicians and the Royal College of Physicians of the United Kingdom.

Intend Your Desired Outcome, Sharon Martin: EP 337
Physician Sharon Martin is bringing shamanic healing into western medicine. In addition to standard medical approaches, she advises you to connect with the Universal Field, find energy beings compatible with your own energy including ascended masters, power animals, nature, and especially trees and to activate the already existing normality template in the cells of your own body. Western physicians instill fear in patients out of a desire not to look stupid and their worry about malpractice lawsuits. Overcome your fear, imagine your ideal outcome and let spirit handle the details.
Dr. Sharon Martin is a physician and shamanic, energy healer. She quickly learned that mainstream medicine was insufficient for eliciting deep, lasting health. Sharon now bridges the mystical with the scientific, and shamanism, energy medicine, and consciousness. Sharon teaches how to live a life in balance in mind, body, and spirit. She now incorporates a new, broadened perspective into her medical practice, and into teaching others how to participate in their own healing.

When Worlds Collide, Jeffrey Dunne: EP 336
Are you ready to venture into the present through the future? Perhaps synchronicities are created by our obscured future roles and goals through retrocausation. Your future, the one toward which you are being drawn, may be reaching fingerlings to your present. In Nexus, Jeff Dunne's novel of clashing and cooperating opposites, the Champions of two worlds are unknowingly drawn to their future until the climactic ending.
Dr. Jeffrey Dunne is President of ICRL, an organization established to continue the research of the effects of consciousness on physical systems begun at Princeton University from 1979-2007. Beyond exploring the nature of consciousness and several decades of research at the Johns Hopkins University in fields ranging from acoustics to data science and AI, Jeff is also an award-winning playwright and author. Through his novel, Nexus, he weaves the concept of syntropy with the implications of the nature of consciousness to address the challenges humanity is facing, highlighting a path to navigate towards a healthier, sustainable future

You are Energy in Transition, Marjorie Woollacott: EP 334
Marjorie Woollacott's meditation teacher asks, "Are you getting married?" A man walks into her life, and she knows he is the one. Another teacher touches her forehead and awakens the love in her heart. A clinically dead person can know what is going on and report it upon reviving. How? We answer this question by suggesting that you are energy, potentially vibrating at different frequency states. Consciousness joyfully opens you to synchronicity as you stop telling yourself stories about yourself.
Marjorie Woollacott, Ph.D., is a member of the Institute of Neuroscience, at the University of Oregon. She is President of the Academy for the Advancement of Post-Materialist Sciences, on the Science Committee of the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS), and Research Director for the International Association of Near-Death Studies. Woollacott has received over 7.2 million dollars in research funding for her research in rehabilitation medicine, meditation, spiritual awakening, and end-of-life experiences, has published over 200 scientific articles and written nine books, including Infinite Awareness (receiving 8 book awards) and Spiritual Awakenings: Scientists and Academics Describe Their Experiences.

Self-Awareness and Pattern Recognition Are Key, Bernard Beitman, MD: EP 331
Meaningful coincidences—synchronicity and serendipity—are primarily psychological phenomena. Without you noticing them, they do not exist. What psychological processes are involved with noticing the similarities between a psychological event and an external event and then wondering about their potential meaning? Three of the primary variables include self-observation, pattern recognition, and personality traits.
