As a biofeedback specialist for almost 30 years, Bethany Gonyea has invited people to invoke the power of focused healing intention to facilitate health and well-being. She first used the mind-body connection to heal herself from a severe physical disorder that forced a career change in college. She made physical pain her "biofeedback instrument" and became intolerant of feeling miserable. Focusing her mind with biofeedback skills, she used her diminishing pain levels as signposts that she was doing something right. Her pilgrimage culminated in her ability to overcome her disability and run four miles a day without pain.
Later, Bethany used the same skills to shift out of emotional pain after suffering an extreme tragedy that was significant enough to be broadcast on the local evening news for several months. Eventually, she realized the skills she had acquired could accomplish more than alleviating physical and emotional pain: They could be refined to process grief in a manner that pivoted into transcendent states of happiness and well-being.
Her pioneering methods inspire people to become "consciousness athletes" by training the body's autonomic nervous system to sustain enhanced states of happiness and well-being. She teaches that we feel happiness in our bodies, not our minds, and to "fall up" when life gets us down by skillfully tuning our nervous systems through cutting-edge biofeedback and subtle energy skills. Her goal is to train people to sense their energy fields and merge with the infinite energy surrounding us to sustain well-being.
Bethany's healing methods help people quickly navigate out of excessive emotional suffering into their authentic buoyant state of consciousness and transcendent identity. She has mapped the effects of personal coherence on others through her Resonant Peaceful Cities Project, in which hundreds of people gather in various cities to meditate and reduce local crime statistics upwards of 20 percent.
Despite life's adversities, Bethany strives daily to live the work she teaches from her physical cellular levels and transcendent spirit.
