Opportunities to actively engage in your own transformation and that of our world are woven into the fabric of your everyday life. Learning more about the terrain of consciousness transformation can not only give you a map, but can help you become the cartographer of your own transformative journey. Research over the last decade at the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS) has systematically surveyed hundreds of people’s stories of their own transformations, as well as conducting over 50 in-depth interviews with teachers and masters of the world’s spiritual, religious, and transformative traditions.
No matter who you are,where you come from, or what your current path is – whether you seek to transform your life completely or simply make adjustments that will add a layer of richness and depth to your life – exploring the many ways that transformation is stimulated and sustained can hold great power. Weaving together cutting-edge science with wisdom from teachers of the world’s transformative traditions this book explores how people experience deep shifts in their consciousness, and how those shifts can lead to healing and wholeness.
Research over the last decade at the Institute of Noetic Sciences has explored in depth the phenomenon by which people make significant shifts in the way they experience and view the world. Focusing in particular on positive transformations in consciousness, or those that result in improved health, well-being, and sense of meaning, purpose,and belonging, hundreds of people’s stories of their own transformations were included in the research, as well as in-depth interviews with over 50 teachers and masters of the world’s spiritual, religious, and transformative traditions.
Authors Marilyn Mandala Schlitz, Ph.D., Cassandra Vieten, Ph.D., and Tina Amorok, Psy.D. – will begin conducting workshops based on the information they have gathered for this book. These workshops will blend the rigors of science with the deep wisdom of the world’s spiritual traditions. Drs. Schlitz, Vieten, and Amorok will offer key insights from the decade-long qualitative and quantitative research study, of how people transform their lives. The workshops will include rigorous inquiry, group dialogue, and direct experience about the kinds of transformations in consciousness that change a person’s worldview to one that is more connected to others.

Summary
This collection of essays on integral medicine, consciousness, and healing integrates mainstream medical knowledge with recent developments in the emerging areas of frontier sciences and insights from alternative healing perspectives. It promotes a model of healing in which personal relationships, emotions, meaning, and belief systems are viewed as fundamental points of connection between body, mind, spirit, society, and nature. Integral medicine embraces the recognition that human beings possess emotional, spiritual, and relational dimensions that are essential in the diagnosis and treatment of disease and the cultivation of wellness.
Read More
Readers learn from the leaders in the emerging field of integral medicine and consciousness research, from the most well known (Deepak Chopra), to the frontline policy makers (James Gordon―one of the heads of the White House Commission on Conventional and Complementary and Alternative Medicine). Readers also gain insights from health professionals who have experienced healing within themselves and witnessed remarkable healing in their patients. We hear from other medical professionals (through the essays and the interviews on the accompanying DVD) who approach medicine from an array of cultural perspectives, and can attest to this multicultural, interdisciplinary, and participatory healing system in action. Consciousness and Healing contains 47 essays in the book plus 9 bonus essays read aloud on the DVD. Essays are short and in language suited to an audience of both lay and professional readers, with extensive references on the DVD to original scientific studies for those interested in further exploration.
- The most comprehensive and authoritative collection of work on the subject of healing.
- Joins subjective mind-body experiences with evidence-based research.
- Comprehensive view of healing as a complex system ― something few texts do from such an interdisciplinary, multidimensional, and scientific perspective.
- The editors build on over 30 years of research in the area of mind-body medicine and consciousness
- The DVD packaged with this product contains 50 minutes of video interviews with many of the high-profile leaders who contribute to this book, as well as practitioners in the medical field who do not contribute to this book, but who do subscribe to its philosophy. It also contains 9 essays (read aloud) that are not in the book. References and the book’s table of contents are on the DVD in Microsoft Word format.
- Essays are written in a conversational style allowing the thoughts of the contributors on the transformation of medicine to be projected in their own voice.
- Editors and contributors are on the forefront of the field of integrative medicine.
- Subject is timely; this book takes CAM one-step further by providing physicians with a vision for the future.

Summary
Our beliefs about what happens when we die define how we live today. And more and more of us are discovering a radical truth: when we release our fear of death, we open to an immensely richer life right here and now. But how do we incorporate this profound insight into our everyday lives?
Read More
In Death Makes Life Possible, Dr. Marilyn Schlitz presents a wealth of teachings and practical guidance on how to turn this taboo topic into a source of peace, hope, connection, and compassion.
Featuring contributions by eminent scientists and scholars, spiritual leaders and devout skeptics, health practitioners, and people from all walks of life, this far-reaching work offers a companion to the award-winning documentary, revealing the myriad ways that we grow and change by expanding our perspectives on the ultimate mystery facing each one of us.
Join Dr. Schlitz to learn more about:
- How facing the fear of death can motivate us to reprioritize our goals, expand self-worth, and help promote social harmony
- Dreaming and the transformation of death—the fascinating connections and new perspectives we can gain by paying attention to the world of our dreams
- Life, death, and the quantum soul—how post-materialist scientists are introducing new ways of understanding life as part of a nonlocal, interconnected universe that exists outside of linear space and time
- Shifting our collective discourse from “one of fear to one of awe and wonder” in order to heal ourselves and the world we share
“Understanding our relationships with the seen and unseen realms of everyday existence offers us new possibilities for living a big, juicy life filled with humility, purpose, meaning, and hope,” explains Marilyn Schlitz.
In Death Makes Life Possible, she offers a treasury of teachings with the power to transform every aspect of our lives.

Summary
Facing the loss of someone or something we love can be overwhelming. Yet grief is a natural and universal process for healing from life’s painful events. Transforming Grief offers insights to help us tap our innate resiliency, courage, and compassion, along with practical ways to honor and work through our grief.
Read More
Join social anthropologist and award-winning author Dr. Marilyn Schlitz to learn more about:
- Building new responses to fear and discomfort
- Reconsidering the five phases of grief
- Acknowledging the time and work involved in grieving
- Three grief practices: Walking the Labyrinth, Laughter Yoga, and Communion with the Dead
- Fostering connection to both the living and the deceased through shared grief practices
“We tend to define our grief by what we no longer have, rather than by what the departed loved one has given us,” writes Marilyn Schlitz. “Healing may come when we allow ourselves to risk again, to continue growing, and to invite transformation.” For anyone seeking guidance on the challenging journey through loss, Transforming Grief will be an inspirational companion for each step on the path.
