Notes

IONS August Meeting Theme: The Near-Death Experience and Its Implications Re: Consciousness Saturday, August 1 10AM – 12 PM Suggested Donation $5 With the development of increasingly effective resuscitative techniques, medical science has opened what some may consider a Pandora's Box, containing reports of conscious experiences during the time patients were clinically dead. Reports of what was occurring in the room during the time doctors and nurses were striving to resuscitate the patient rule out the possibility that the experience occurred outside the time that the heart and brain were flatlined. These memories are referred to as "Near-Death Experiences (NDEs)," although cardiologist Sam Parnia, in his compelling book, "Erasing Death" prefers the term "Actual-Death Experience," stating that the patients he resuscitates have experienced cardiac arrest and cessation of brain function, therefore by current scientific standards, are clinically dead, not "near dead." NDEs challenge the prevailing beliefs on the part of mainstream science regarding the nature of consciousness as chemical activity produced by - and limited to - the brain. If the brain has no activity, how can consciousness continue? The common elements of many NDEs also reveal patterns of experience in an after-death state - at least, in the minutes or hours immediately following death - implying the likelihood of survival of consciousness after death. In our August meeting, we will discuss various types of NDE, their paradigm-shifting implications for medical science and biology, and the long-term effects of these experiences on the people who have them.

[AlternativeAnswers] Urban Zen: Meditation In Bigger Cities

Good Morning!

Urban Zen: Meditation In Bigger Cities

Meditation in the big city can sometimes be a daunting task! More and more
cities are creating more spaces for relaxing, keeping your cool and de-stressing
in a city setting. The practice of urban zen helps us temporarily let the
physical world go so that we can begin to see ourselves as we truly are -
spiritually enlightened beings.

Big cities are creating more outdoor and public spaces for relaxing, recreation and refreshing your spirit with nature! Find a bench, grassy knoll or special place in your city where you can reconnect with sky, nature or sea (if possible).

Meditation is a time-honored technique that can take you into infinite
dimensions of consciousness. It is a simple effort that becomes effortless as we
do it more and more. One major principle to meditation is the ability to
completely quiet your mind. Quieting the mind comes as a result of meditating
over a long period of time, but any time you are looking within, you are
meditating. Meditation helps us live a healthier, less stressful life. The
physical and psychological benefits are wonderful and many people meditate only
for those reasons.

There are many meditation methods. Some are passive -- such as observing the
breath. Others are active -- in the sense that you actually do something like
repeating a word or mantra. The meditations that you will find here will help
you develop on many levels. No matter what style or form you follow, meditation
should always be gentle. Do not force anything. Allow your efforts to flow
naturally and effortlessly.

These meditation can be done anywhere and do not require anything but yourself!

Letting Go. Fold your hands gently in your lap and close your eyes. Take a few
deep breaths. Then just sit. If you have never meditated before, you will
probably feel as if your mind is full of thoughts. Don't try to stop the
thoughts, just watch them. Imagine that you are on the bank of a river and that
your thoughts are the river going by. Don't try to stop the river, just watch
it. Within a week, you will see the river begin to slow down. You may become
impatient, or even bored. That's okay. If you find yourself complaining, just
watch the thoughts pass by. Do this for 5 to 10 minutes. You may find that you
fall asleep because you are so relaxed. That's good because, in many ways, you
have begun to let go. Continue at this pace and each day allow just a little
more time for yourself to meditate. Doing this allows you to relax and forget
about time.

Progressive Relaxation is just that. A slow transition from a tense, immobile
state to a calmer more supple mind and body. This is a way of releasing tension
in the muscles. There are many variations of Progressive Relaxation. Here is one
of them:

Begin by laying on your back in a comfortable position.

Take a series of deep slow breaths and then focus your awareness on different
parts of the body in turn, becoming aware of any muscular tension and releasing
it.

One way to do this is to first tense a muscle deliberately and then relax it.

You can start with the top of the body, tensing and relaxing the muscles of the
upper face, then moving on to the jaw, neck, chest, front of the arms, abdomen,
thighs, lower legs, feet, and toes.

Then do the same down the back of the body. Finally, lie still with the eyes
closed, concentrating on your breath. Allow the whole body to relax into the
ground. Feel the floor underneath you, supporting you. Feel the earth supporting
the floor. Feel yourself now deeply rooted and grounded into the earth beneath
you.

Enjoying this deep feeling of peace and freedom from muscular tension.

[AlternativeAnswers] How to Protect Ourselves and Growing Children from Electromagnetic Fields- Fri. 7/31

How to Protect Ourselves and

Growing Children from Electromagnetic Fields

A Solution-Oriented Look at This Important New Public Health Issue

With Camilla Rees, MBA, ElectromagneticHealth.org

Friday, July 31st

7 pm - 9 pm

General Public: $15 Caritas Members: $10

Join us for a talk and presentation by health and environmental advocate Camilla Rees on the biological and health effects from cell phones and wireless technologies.

LEARN:

How man-made radiation disrupts physiological functioning.
Which communications devices emit radiation and are of concern.
The early warning signs of 'electrosensitivity' syndrome (EHS).
What levels of exposure are considered safe for children—or excessive—and how exposures can be minimized—from the nursery to the classroom.
The increased risk of brain tumors when cell phone or portable phone use begins as a teenager or younger
Within what distance from cell towers have cancer clusters been found, and what you can do if you find yourself within a high-risk radius.

How to create 'electromagnetically clean' home environments.
The variable nature of WiFi exposures in schools and why it is biologically disruptive
Why government 'safety guidelines' for cell phone and WiFi radiation exposures are flawed, and why they are inadequate to protect children.
Why legendary activist attorney, Lawrence Lessig, Esq, of Harvard Law School, and Yale Law School Dean Robert Post, are defending Berkeley, CA's law requiring warning labels on cell phones pro bono.
Why Harvard's Safra Center for Ethics just called the FCC a 'Captured Agency'—and called public ignorance on this matter industry's 'best ally'!
What other nations are doing to minimize exposures to children.

Camilla Rees is founder of ElectromagneticHealth.org, co-author of "Public Health SOS: The Shadow Side of the Wireless Radiation"; co-founder of the International EMF Alliance; Advisor to the International Institute for Building Biology and Ecology and Voting Member of the U.S. Health Freedom Congress. She was an Executive Producer of the award-winning documentary, "Take Back Your Power" about the smart grid, and oversaw the landmark paper, "Getting Smarter About the Smart Grid", published by the National Institute for Science, Law & Public Policy. Camilla serves as Senior Policy Advisor to the National Institute for Science, Law & Public Policy in Washington, D.C., where she has been involved in numerous policy papers on the energy economy. She is EMF adviser to Mercola.com, Citizens for Health and the Radiation Research Trust (U.K.), and is a blogger for Mother Earth News. Camilla has appeared on Fox News, ABC, Voice of America TV and PBS.
