Bethany Gonyea is the founder of Numinous, a nonprofit that facilitates interfaith spiritual practices to reduce human suffering. In this conversation, Bethany shares about her work in creating mass meditation events aimed at reducing crime and violence in specific geographic areas (in statistically verifiable ways), as well as bringing benefits to the meditators themselves.

Over the course of seven years, Bethany  healed herself utilizing biofeedback and the power of intention.  Ultimately, she was able to open to a power greater than herself.  Now she helps empower others by teaching them to take control over their locus of consciousness and intention so that it works for them, instead of just running rampant.   She says: “I’m always aware where my consciousness is parked.”For Bethany, illness always starts in the energy field until it finally makes its way into the body.
