Theosophical Society Wheaton Presents Dr. Eben Alexander Cutting Edge Sound Workshop May 16th

May 13 2015 Wheaton IL –New York Times best-selling author Eben Alexander MD and brain entrainment pioneer Karen Newell will be offering an all-day interactive workshop designed to awaken deeper consciousness through cutting-edge sound meditation at the Theosophical Society in Wheaton IL on Saturday May 16th.

In his book, Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon’s Journey Into the Afterlife, Dr. Alexander describes his unique near-death experience and the places he encountered in the “afterlife.” In this workshop he will talk about his inner journey then and now, his latest observations on science and spirituality, and the lessons, experiences and enigma of consciousness.  He will be joined by Karen Newell, co-founder of Sacred Acoustics, who will explain the technology of brain entrainment. They will lead the group on experiential journeys that use specific and varying sounds to enhance a deep meditative state of oneness. There will be ample time to process, ask questions and discuss how to integrate the insights from meditation into everyday living.

Explained Dr. Alexander, “I am most excited about the upcoming sound meditation workshop that I will be presenting with Karen Newell in order to share our experience with other seekers who wish to access the unlimited wisdom within us all.  The evolving scientific understanding of the relationship between brain and mind is that consciousness is fundamental in the universe, and that all of physical reality emerges from consciousness. The brain does not create consciousness, but is in fact a reducing valve or filter that allows primordial consciousness to manifest reality through our physical brain and body.”

According to Dr. Alexander, “As we come to realize this world-changing reality, it becomes clear that unlimited consciousness is available to us all by going within. The voice in our head is NOT our consciousness; it is the observer of that voice that we can nurture and develop into a far more powerful manifesting agent. Sound-enhanced meditation provides a powerful tool to help us to glimpse behind the veil, to nurture the observer within, and to access guidance, wisdom and creativity that is part of the Infinite Mind that is at the core of all that is.”

The inter-active workshop will be held at the Theosophical Society in America, 1926 North Main Street, Wheaton IL Saturday May 16th 9 AM to 4 PM.  Cost for the workshop is $100 and participants may register in advance online at theosophical.org/programs/workshops or by calling 630.668.1571.  The TSA website is theosophical.org.
