Can’t make it live? After each class, video and audio recordings are available to download and watch anytime.
Lift the veil on the mysteries of the afterlife, dissolve any fear of death, experience the binding force of infinite love, and explore the science of miracles — by harnessing the transformative power of near-death experiences.
Learn how shifting from “mind over matter” to “spirit over matter” can help you recognize and align with your soul’s higher purpose.
Physical death may be an inevitable part of the human journey, but it isn’t the end.
In fact, scientific research on near-death experiences, or NDEs, is increasingly revealing how life on the other side is just as lively and full of possibility as the lives we experience while incarnated as human beings.
Renowned neurosurgeon Eben Alexander discovered this firsthand following his own NDE, and it ushered in an unshakable knowing that consciousness does not die — that what we refer to as death is really a powerful threshold for deep transformation within the larger journey of our souls.
While seemingly unconscious and in a deep coma, Eben’s awareness cycled among three distinct realms. It started dark and murky… and then a golden, spinning light led him to an ideal Earth-like setting, lush and overflowing with peace and joy.
Heavenly sound propelled him further into the core realm — a brilliant, dazzling darkness — where he became one with a divine source… and was suffused with unconditional love.
Eben later returned to his body and was blessed with a full physical recovery and a new understanding of reality…
… which has been synthesized, in collaboration with Sacred Acoustics co-founder Karen Newell, into a deep transformational learning journey on how to joyously live a forever life.
As you embark on this journey with Eben and Karen, you’ll explore where science and spirituality meet during NDEs to lift the veil on the mysteries of the afterlife, reconnecting you with departed loved ones, your own infinite nature — and the love, peace, and potentiality of the afterlife.
In doing so, you’ll dissolve any fear of death, move into deeper states of calm and ease within yourself and your life, and increase your overall wellbeing.
You’ll illuminate a path to joyously living a forever life here and now.
When you truly identify as an eternal soul that travels from lifetime to lifetime, so many of your daily concerns turn into more manageable opportunities for growth and service.
As the acclaimed author of Proof of Heaven, Eben’s medical training, science background, and NDE have provided a window into a more complete understanding of life after death and the nature of consciousness.
As an innovator in the emerging field of brainwave entrainment audio meditation, Karen empowers you in the journey of self-discovery, teaching you how to enter and engage with your inner world to source deeper streams of guidance, inspiration, wellness, and intuition.
Together, Eben and Karen offer profound insights on NDEs and how to tangibly experience the spiritual realm — whether you’ve had an NDE or not — through meditative and transcendental experiences.
You’ll gain the spiritual tools needed to harness the positive after-effects of NDEs — such as increased compassion and love for others, a sense of higher purpose, a greater appreciation for life, and the potential for more fluid communication with deceased loved ones.
You’ll explore the science of miracles as they relate to NDEs and the nature of Oneness Consciousness. You’ll learn how time works in the spiritual realm…
… and experience binaural beats that work with the lower brainstem to entrain you to alpha, theta, and delta brainwave states that help you “get there” without having to physically experience an NDE.
You’ll also be astounded by the fascinating evidence of reincarnation — and how you can reconnect with loved ones who have already departed the physical world.
Ultimately, you’ll find comfort in a broader scope of reality that’s increasingly supported by science: that although the physical body inevitably dies, that’s not the end of your awareness or connection with those you love.

Course Sessions Wednesdays at 10:00am Pacific
This course will feature LIVE teachings, interactive training sessions, experiential practices, and Q&A with Eben and Karen. Each session will build harmoniously upon the previous ones, so you’ll develop a complete holistic understanding of the practices, tools, and principles you’ll need to lift the veil on the mysteries of the afterlife and experience the binding force of infinite love by harnessing the transformative power of near-death experiences.
Module 1: The Tangible Benefits of Spiritual Health (August 31)
During the first class, you’ll explore how to live life from a perspective of unity and connection by respecting humanity’s true spiritual nature.
After his NDE, Eben’s conventional scientific worldview of reductive materialism flipped diametrically to objective idealism.
From this position, consciousness, of which we are all a part by virtue of being aware, is the fundamental make-up of the universe and the non-physical information field from which our material world emerges.
As you begin to cultivate a connection to something greater than your individual self and live a life driven by meaning and purpose, you’ll naturally begin to embody your spiritual nature…
… giving your spiritual health room to flourish and positively influencing your mental, emotional, and physical health.
During the opening class, you’ll:
- Understand the scientific evidence that supports the reality of a spiritual realm — the home we return to when we die
- Realize how to be spiritual is to cultivate a relationship with your inner world that connects to a larger consciousness
- Learn to distinguish between thoughts and emotions, the inner observer (thinking, feeling, and being) — and the unique perspective that each offers
- Discover how binaural beats affect the lower brainstem and support conditions for quieting distracting thoughts and setting awareness free
- Experience a Sacred Acoustics brainwave entrainment audio recording to awaken your inner world’s awareness as an eternal soul
Module 2: Simple Acts of Kindness — Applying Acceptance & Compassion to Yourself & Others (September 7)
In the core realm, with a clean slate and no memories of life on Earth, Eben was shown how human souls are intertwined in the process of learning and growth.
All souls are eternal and integrally linked through a primary spiritual source, thus, the actions of one cannot avoid having an influence on another.
During the life review, a common feature of near-death experiences, events are perceived from the perspective of those who were affected by our actions — deepening the realization that to hurt another is to hurt oneself.
From the experiencer’s perspective, an entire lifetime can be relived in the blink of an eye, serving to teach vital lessons about our interconnections with others throughout time and space.
This week, you’ll learn about those who returned from an NDE with a greater capacity for compassion, choosing simple acts of kindness and acceptance in their daily lives…
… and how to embrace the journey of soul growth that each of us is on to support each other in this process — which is intrinsically linked to humanity's overall progress.
This week, you’ll:
- Learn how the Golden Rule — treating others as you would like to be treated — is embedded in the fabric of the Universe
- Explore how time serves as our focus of existence in the now moment, from which past and future come into relevance
- Learn why your closest “soul mate” might seem to be an adversary
- Recognize that individual personal growth contributes to humanity’s collective spiritual progress
- Experience a Sacred Acoustics brainwave entrainment audio recording to enact a “daily review” of pivotal events from a broader perspective
Module 3: Consciousness Continues — Embracing Eternity Within Loving Relationships (September 14)
When faced with the death of a loved one, it’s comforting to know that encountering the souls of departed loved ones commonly occurs during a near-death experience — suggesting that you will meet again.
Memories from past lives reported by children confirm that we not only maintain awareness after physically dying, but our souls return in a process of reincarnation…
… often reconnecting with familiar souls, but in different roles — with love as the binding force that drives these connections.
Some people are blessed with the gift of after-death communication, confirming that our souls survive the death of the physical body. Others don’t experience anything at all and are skeptical that such an experience is real.
Learning to accept that these are natural occurrences is an important step in validating that our most significant relationships do not necessarily end at death.
This week, you’ll explore how consciousness continues — and how this fact can add to the value of creating meaningful and loving relationships now.
This week, you’ll:
- Discuss how encountering a deceased loved one during an NDE validates its authenticity
- Learn how past-life memories in children are studied scientifically — and how the data support the concept of reincarnation
- Realize that time flow is unrestricted in the spiritual realm, allowing us to reconnect with departed loved ones, even those who might have already reincarnated
- Discover how Eben connected with his adoptive father during a meditation experience, the many forms of after-death communication, and how to open yourself to such a connection
- Experience a Sacred Acoustics brainwave entrainment audio recording to connect with a departed loved one
Module 4: The Binding Force of Love — Exploring Wholeness as a Path to Healing (September 21)
As Eben recovered from his illness, he was astonished to learn in a review of his medical records the extent of just how damaged his brain had been.
As a neurosurgeon, he knew it was rare to have enjoyed a full physical recovery from what was diagnosed as a deadly disease — and that it could not be explained from a conventional medical perspective.
There are other cases of unexpected recovery in those who have had NDEs who often describe a healing force of love that permeates their entire system.
After returning, unconditional love and its many expressions became a dominant focus.
This week, you’ll learn how approaching life from a spiritual perspective provides a way to more readily come into full health and become more whole.
Realizing how spiritual health is imperative in the process of resolving physical, mental, and emotional health becomes, in essence, a form of “spirit over matter.”
During the fourth class, you’ll:
- Discover the power of love in the spiritual realm and how to harness it for wellbeing here on Earth
- Explore a peer-reviewed case study and other NDEs that suggest a miraculous recovery is due to spiritual experience
- Learn the spiritual factors that contribute to spontaneous remission in cancer — and how they can be applied to overall healing efforts
- Discover how releasing and resolving charged emotions will contribute to improved relationships and overall wellness
- Experience a Sacred Acoustics brainwave entrainment audio recording to support healing on all levels — physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual
Module 5: Understanding Death as a Transformational Tool of the Soul (October 5)
Death is part of a much larger journey, offering a powerful transformative opportunity for soul growth.
Actual death consists of similar features as NDEs — meeting deceased relatives, a sense of loving comfort, reliving early-life events, and a clear sense of the beginning of a journey.
Likewise, there is similar potential for profound transformation and growth based on love and loving relationships.
The process of death is arguably the most transformative event we will each experience. It is not the end of existence but a new beginning…
… one that indicates a metamorphosis into spirit form and an expansion of awareness of who we truly are.
This week, you’ll learn how to embrace physical death as a transformational tool of the soul.
You’ll also:
- Discover how shared NDEs confirm what happens when we die — and that no one truly dies alone
- Recognize the similar features between near-death experiences and actual death as studied in hospice centers
- Learn how hospice study participants commonly had at least one end-of-life dream or vision
- Realize that distressing near-death experiences and frightening end-of-life dreams and visions offer the same potential for vital transformation and helpful insights as more positive experiences
- Experience a Sacred Acoustics brainwave entrainment audio recording with a temporary visit to the spiritual realm where you are deeply loved and cherished
Module 6: Cultivating Purpose & Becoming a Co-Creator of an Ideal World (October 12)
As Eben explored ways to explain his recovery to full health, he found that the measurement paradox in quantum physics points to a top-down ordering principle…
… in which the cause of events in the physical world originates in the spiritual realm. This empowers each of us to realize our role in influencing the world around us.
The precise mechanism cannot yet be fully explained, but applying this concept within your personal life requires a focus on the inner world and grounding to your life’s purpose.
After an NDE, gratitude becomes a fundamental element in daily life, as the very fact of accepting the value of all aspects of life contributes to us creating the lives of our dreams.
You’ll explore how to embody gratitude to become a conscious co-creator of the world you want to live in.
This week, you’ll:
- Learn how the measurement paradox in quantum physics reveals that individuals can affect unfolding reality
- Discover how the concept of resonance explains your ability to identify with relevant information that’s essential to your soul growth
- Explore how the power of free will allows for individual expression of your ultimate purpose
- Realize how to balance thinking, feeling, and being states using focused attention and intention
- Experience a Sacred Acoustics brainwave entrainment audio recording to create a meaningful life aligned with your greater purpose
Module 7: Enjoying the Natural Pleasures of Life & Trusting That All Is Well (October 19)
When Eben first awakened from a coma, he intently gazed at each family member standing around his bedside, proclaiming “all is well.” He knew that he would always be taken care of and that he could trust that everything happened for a purpose.
Like others who return from NDEs, he found a rich appreciation for the simple things of life including trust, peace, harmony, and fulfillment. After struggling with addiction, he knew directly that material stuff could not fill a spiritual hole. But addressing aspects of spiritual health can have tremendous influence.
This week, you’ll learn how we are all in this together and why caring for the least, the last, and the lost is vital.
You’ll discover how all of the consciousness throughout the natural world is evolving in tandem — and each of us is an integral part…
… and since we all return again and again in this process of learning, it’s vital to be benevolent stewards of planet Earth.
During the final class, you’ll:
- Explore how a universal sense of separation can lead to despair — and how cultivating a sense of unity provides an antidote to despair
- Learn how animals, and all conscious awareness, are fundamentally connected
- Discuss the benefits and drawbacks of individual vs. collective approaches to living
- Learn how to manage the heart’s electromagnetic field to have a positive influence on those around you
- Experience a Sacred Acoustics brainwave entrainment audio recording to cultivate a sense of oneness and unity

Consciousness Survives Bodily Death
Video Journey With Eben Alexander & Jeffrey Mishlove
Explore a fascinating discussion about understanding the primacy of consciousness using a contemporary scientific and philosophical framework. Together with Eben, Jeffrey Mishlove — a psychologist who holds the only doctoral diploma in parapsychology ever awarded by an accredited American university — reviews evidence from parapsychologies such as past-life memories in children, after-death communication, mediumship, and near-death experiences. You’ll discover how this all integrates with neuroscience, philosophy of mind, and quantum physics. Mishlove is the first-prize recipient of the renowned Bigelow Institute of Consciousness Studies contest for his paper on the best evidence for survival of conscious awareness beyond permanent bodily death.

Mind Over Matter
PDF Chapter From Living in a Mindful Universe by Eben Alexander & Karen Newell
Seemingly miraculous recoveries often result from near-death experiences. In this chapter from Living in a Mindful Universe, you’ll explore supplementary insight into how near-death experiencers seem to invariably touch some aspect of the spiritual realm. Whether you’ve had an NDE or not, living with an awareness of your fundamentally spiritual nature can play a significant role in achieving full health. As you’ll explore, research on spontaneous healing points to the unlimited potential of each of us when it comes to spiritual factors influencing our mental, emotional, and physical health on our journeys to become more whole.

The remote-viewing exercises opened my mind to our capacity to receive information mentally. The experience opened a window I didn't know I had shut. Knowing that we would receive a transcript was a comfort, because I couldn't take notes fast enough. Answering questions and comments added life to each session. Understanding that the brain doesn't create consciousness is the biggest gift of all. It signifies the birth of a new paradigm, as we grow out of the mechanistic view of the universe. Thank you, Karen and Eben, for this wonderful work you’re doing.
— Claire Tangvald, Seattle, Washington

— Muriel, London, United Kingdom
“The two combined provide a holistic picture, and they complement one another beautifully.”
I have been exploring the nature of consciousness and coming to terms with life after death for quite a while. Eben and Karen do a fantastic job of explaining this both from a historical perspective (Karen) and a scientific perspective (Eben). The two combined provide a holistic picture, and they complement one another beautifully. Eben's lectures on quantum physics would probably feel too dense if it weren't for Karen's grounding presence. But Eben's weaving the scientific into the spiritual provided the credence to this body of knowledge that I feel is necessary for a larger audience. Well done!
— Max Gleason, Santa Ynez, California
“... their courses have sustained me spiritually through a very challenging year of self-isolation.”

More Praise for Eben Alexander, MD, and Karen Newell…
“[Eben] realizes that there are many paths up the mountain, and they end up in the same place.”
Similar to Einstein, Eben, a man of science, delves into the spiritual Oneness. He realizes that there are many paths up the mountain, and they end up in the same place.
— Ram Dass
“Dr. Alexander’s case history is one of the most important in the history of medicine.”
Dr. Alexander’s case history is one of the most important in the history of medicine. The fact that he physically survives his illness is astonishing, but his account of a journey during his coma to a resplendent domain that operates according to the principle of boundless love is even more surprising. Karen Newell’s contributions are a valuable addition, making possible a practical blueprint by which one can realize transcendent insights and spiritual growth without experiencing the dangerous trauma of Alexander’s journey.
— Larry Dossey, MD, author of One Mind: How Our Individual Mind Is Part of a Greater Consciousness and Why It Matters
“Dr. Eben Alexander’s near-death experience... was somehow divinely ordained.”
Dr. Eben Alexander’s near-death experience is the most astounding I have heard in more than four decades of studying this phenomenon. In my opinion, Dr. Alexander is living proof of an afterlife. The extraordinary circumstances of his illness and his impeccable credentials make it very hard to formulate a mundane explanation for his case. For me, it is difficult to shake the feeling that his experience was somehow divinely ordained.
— Raymond Moody, MD, author of Life Beyond Life
“… a roadmap for those wishing to bridge science and spirit and enter into a life of wonder and magic.”
Dr. Alexander’s humbleness, along with the wise counsel of Karen Newell, is a roadmap for those wishing to bridge science and spirit and enter into a life of wonder and magic.
— William Arntz, creator of What the BLEEP Do We Know!?
“[Dr. Alexander’s spiritual experience] may well change how we understand our role in the universe.”
Proof of Heaven is more than just an awe-inspiring account of a profound encounter with spiritual reality. Dr. Alexander’s neuroscience career taught him that near-death experiences are brain-based illusions, and yet his personal experience left him dumbstruck. His honest struggle to make sense of this unforgettable journey is a gripping story, unique in the literature of spiritual experiences, that may well change how we understand our role in the universe.
— Bruce Greyson, MD, co-editor of The Handbook of Near-Death Experiences: Thirty Years of Investigation
“… a unique and valuable cultural asset in our efforts to develop a more mature understanding of the nature of self and world.”
With a background in neurosurgery and having had direct experience of non-ordinary aspects of reality, Eben Alexander is a unique and valuable cultural asset in our efforts to develop a more mature understanding of the nature of self and world… Eben and Karen take us with them on their journey of exploration subsequent to Eben’s NDE. They show that the insights they have had are accessible to any one of us, and that sane, coherent, non-materialist views of reality not only exist, but are no longer fringe.
— Bernardo Kastrup, philosopher and author
About Eben Alexander, MD
Academic neurosurgeon Dr. Eben Alexander III, whose career includes decades as a physician and associate professor at Harvard Medical School and revered teaching hospitals, was once staunchly committed to the materialist worldview — the belief that the physical world is all that exists. His scientific belief system was altered by his 2008 transcendental near-death experience (NDE), an odyssey into another realm during a week-long coma. Despite a bleak medical prognosis, Dr. Alexander awoke to make an inexplicable return to full health. His medical case and unprecedented recovery were validated in the peer-reviewed Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease in September 2018. Since his NDE, Dr. Alexander has been reconciling his rich spiritual experience with neuroscience, quantum physics, cosmology, and the philosophy of mind. Dr. Alexander speaks around the world to educate others about the role that consciousness plays in wellness, healing, and recovery.
A pioneering scientist and modern thought leader, Dr. Alexander has been featured in more than 400 media interviews, including for Good Morning America, 20/20, The Dr. Oz Show, Oprah’s Super Soul Sunday, Larry King Now, Fox and Friends, Discovery Channel, Biography Channel, and numerous international radio, digital publications, and podcasts.
His three books, available in more than 40 countries, are Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon’s Journey into the Afterlife, The Map of Heaven: How Science, Religion, and Ordinary People Are Proving the Afterlife, and Living in a Mindful Universe: A Neurosurgeon’s Journey into the Heart of Consciousness, co-authored with Sacred Acoustics co-founder Karen Newell.
About Karen Newell
Karen Newell is an author and specialist in personal development with a diverse body of work that rests upon the foundation of heart-centered consciousness. Her lifelong interest in ancient cultures and sacred sites catalyzed her drive to understand the purpose of our existence. She became fascinated with esoteric spiritual texts and sought the complete story of humanity’s collective history.
In her search for answers, it became clear that first-hand personal experience is crucial for deepening one’s understanding. Inspired, she enrolled in hands-on experiential courses to investigate and develop such skills as meditation, lucid dreaming, astral travel, telepathy, remote viewing, self-hypnosis, and forms of energy healing, which validated that we all can develop these abilities. Most surprising was that this exploration led to unexpected personal and spiritual growth.
As an innovator in the emerging field of brainwave entrainment audio meditation, Karen empowers others in their journeys of self-discovery. Using Sacred Acoustics recordings and other techniques, she teaches people how to enter and engage with their inner world to connect to guidance, achieve inspiration, improve wellness, and develop intuition. This serves as a foundation for greater alignment with meaning, purpose, and connection to the universe at large. Her teachings enable individuals to achieve life transformations towards greater self-fulfillment and contentment, quality relationships, and choices aligned with one’s soul calling.
Karen is co-author with Eben Alexander III, MD, of Living in a Mindful Universe. At international workshops presented with Dr. Alexander, Karen demonstrates key practices of consciousness exploration: heart awareness, intention, maintaining neutrality, emotional management, and cultivating internal knowing.
