The Monroe Institute, which is located in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, is one location at which interested students learn more about the ways in which they can embark on a personal exploration of the human consciousness.  For those who have been to this part of the country, you certainly will recognize how such a gorgeous natural environment would lend itself to self-reflection and focused spiritual growth. 

Who amongst us can claim that we are not in need of some time during which our focused responsibilities are to practice relaxation and find lasting sources of personal energy?  In this hectic physical world and during a time of year we often allow the stress to outweigh the joy, the opportunity to rejuvenate and find a deeper meaning to our time on this planet sounds ideal.

A core element of the experience at The Monroe Institute is the Hemi-Sync® CDs that visitors use to alter their state of consciousness.  By creating two sounds of similar frequencies and then presenting one to each ear with headphones or speakers, a third sound known as the binaural beat occurs.  This cumulative sound creates a more coherent brain wave pattern for the listener and, therefore, expands the potential for the entire brain.  Students at The Monroe Institute discover how to use these CDs to reach an altered state in the physical realm and even reach the astral plane of existence, a point at which the soul leaves the physical body.

Those who enroll at The Monroe Institute are introduced to its principles through a six-day course known as the Gateway Voyage®.  Participants in this intensive study learn about the possibilities for physical, emotional, and spiritual healing that are possible through binaural sounds.  Rather than being rigidly structured with the same outcome assumed for every person in attendance, the leaders at The Monroe Institute have developed the Gateway Voyage® as a way through which individuals can explore their own consciousness and determine the goals that are most meaningful to them.

 In the new release, Talking with Angels, Richard Tuminello writes about his first experiences at The Monroe Institute, including the completion of the Gateway Voyage® and other course work that followed.  He shares how he progressed from being spiritually unaware to being filled with wisdom from Angels.  The book was co-written by his wife and spiritual partner, Denise, and together they also share many of their detailed experiences with Angels and Star Beings.  Readers will discover a book that reads like a personal journal through which the couple hopes to reveal to others what communication with the astral realm can bring.

Talking with Angels by Richard and Denise Tuminello can be purchased at Amazon.com and the Barnes and Noble website. The book, including autographed copies, also can be obtained by contacting the authors at talkingwithangels.tumi.gmail.com.
