This Month’s Recommended Merlian News Articles:
Podcasts: Quantum Physics Merlian News Podcasts with Dr. Amit Goswami
In this podcast, Dr. Amit Goswami discusses with Merryn Jose, how his childhood influenced his work, upward and downward causation, non-local consciousness, where we go wrong with the “law of attraction”,death, the soul, and the afterlife, and much more! Amit Goswami, Ph. D. is a professor emeritus of physics (retired) at the University of Oregon, Eugene, OR where he has served since 1968. He is a pioneer of the new paradigm of science called ‘science within consciousness’, an idea he explicated in his seminal book, The Self- Aware Universe. He was featured in the film “What the Bleep Do We Know?” and its sequel “Down the rabbit hole” as well as award winning documentary “The Quantum Activist.”
D.V.D’s The Quantum Activist — Amit Goswami, PhD.: A film by Ri Stewart and Renee Slade
Goswami guides us through his theories with humor and illustrative stories (math phobics will be reassured as there is no math at all) and leads us to the same conclusion that every great religion has been saying for centuries — that we are all connected. Once we realize that than global change becomes possible. As “The Quantum Activist” illuminates, when we realize that we are all one, then violence becomes unthinkable. If we are all connected to each other and to the earth, than stealing land or resources, or squandering them becomes impossible. We are only damaging ourselves when we damage the earth.

Conscious Eating Missing Piece to Overeating; Why Diets Fail by Judith Orloff MD, author Emotional Freedom
As a psychiatrist I know that there is more to overeating and obesity that meets the eye. One big reason that many diets fail is that traditional weight loss programs don’t factor in how we process subtle energy, what Chinese medicine terms life force or chi. Subtle energy penetrates and surrounds the body. Sensitive people who I call intuitive empaths unknowingly overeat in response to being overwhelmed by negative vibes. Empaths not only can sense energy around them, they absorb it into their bodies. If this is you, “Emotional Freedom” will teach you to center and protect yourself when the impulse to overeat hits.
Wellbeing & Healing Music As Medicine: Docs Use Tunes As Treatment by Bill Briggs “We’re in the infancy,” said Dr. Ali Rezai, director of the Center for Neurological Restoration at Ohio’s Cleveland Clinic. During a surgery called deep brain stimulation – performed while patients with Parkinson’s disease are awake – Rezai and his team play classical compositions and measure the brain’s response to those notes. “We know music can calm, influence creativity, can energize. That’s great. But music’s role in recovering from disease is being ever more appreciated.”
