BETHANY ANN GONYEA, MS, is the Founding Director of NUMINOUS, sponsor of the Resonant Peaceful Cities Project.  She is also a lifetime consciousness researcher and has been developing a book series with systematic consciousness explorations (meditations), The Conscious Athlete Series, which takes people step by step deeper into themselves to feel fabulous!  She feels this is her effort to leave breadcrumbs in the forest for others to follow what she has learned so they can view this world from a much more empowered vantage point.  She knows we can ALL feel fabulous if we train on the inside.

For 30 years, Ms. Gonyea has invited people to invoke the power of focused healing intention to facilitate health and well-being during hundreds of private and public biofeedback sessions.  Biofeedback is essentially the art and science of intention, and it continually demonstrates through objective instrumentation that our minds have immediate and profound impact on our bodies.

Ms. Gonyea understands the mind-body connection intimately as she explored it to heal herself from a severe pain disorder that forced a career change in college. Bethany made physical pain her “biofeedback instrument” and became “intolerant of feeling miserable.” Instead, she focused her mind and used her diminishing pain levels as a clue that she was “doing something right.” Her pilgrimage culminated in her ability to run 4 miles daily without pain. In the process, she has continued developing her Consciousness Athlete body of work. She is passionate about teaching others how to reduce both their emotional and physical pain levels through skilled biofeedback and subtle energy work.

After watching the power of intention inside the body, she studied prayer and intentional research for sending intentions outside the body. Her research pursuits inspired her to start The Resonant Peaceful Cities Project.  Although she often cites current intentional research findings, she loves to offer what she calls “hard-earned gritty street advice” not found in published papers that can only be gleaned from years of living from conscious intention and awareness. As a result, people often find her “street” advice the most practical and memorable.

Bethany’s perspective of intention is unique, as she has gained her granular understanding of how it works by having the courage to live by intention as she sifts through the complexity of human nature while accepting her massive mission to bring this empowering information to as many people as possible across the globe.

As a practical visionary, Bethany must live what she teaches to bring forward a project that has never been done before and is a few paradigm shifts away from acceptance in pop culture. 

Bethany has been pioneering the states of consciousness and internal processes she calls the Consciousness Athlete Lifestyle, a method for confidently using the body as a biofeedback instrument of consciousness and grace.  

She teaches individuals how to become Consciousness Athletes, training them to influence their autonomic nervous systems to sustain heightened states of awareness and their energy fields to sustain expansion. Her process is very similar to athletes training their bodies for a sport or musicians practicing for a performance.  

After releasing several audio programs over the years, Bethany finally took time away from her community-building work to document thirty years of study of consciousness in her first book, Become A Consciousness Athlete – A Step By Step Program To Heighten Consciousness for Daily Happiness, available on Amazon and Audible. 

 Bethany’s next book, Dealing With Difficult People For Spiritual People – Using The Friction of Our Most Challenging Relationships To Cultivate The Pearl of Heightened Consciousness, teaches people how to use heightened consciousness skills to uplevel through our most difficult interpersonal relationships.

Bethany is completing her third exploration book, Surrendered Is the New Powerful: Lose Your Ego.  Gain the Infinite.   Step Beyond Control into the Big Love That Catches All Who Dare to Fall.  Stay tuned… the best is yet to come!
