Bethany Gonyea

Outreach Trainer, Group Leader

BETHANY ANN GONYEA, MS, is the Founding Director of NUMINOUS, sponsor of the Resonant Peaceful Cities Project.  She is passionate about sharing the mission of The Monroe Institute "to help people create more meaningful and joyful lives through the guided exploration of expanded consciousness.

For 30 years, Bethany 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.  She came to understand the mind-body connection intimately as she explored it to heal herself from a severe pain disorder. 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 what she refers to as the Consciousness Athlete Lifestyle, a method for confidently using the body
as a biofeedback instrument of consciousness and grace. She is devoted to
teaching others how to reduce both their emotional and physical pain levels through skilled biofeedback and subtle energy work.

Her process is similar to athletes training their bodies for a sport or musicians practicing for a performance.  Bethany's books can be found on: Amazon and Audible

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, which recorded statistically significant reductions in violence in three US cities during their “Peace
Weeks.”
