Journal of Mindbody States

The Journal of Mindbody States (JMS) is a free, independent, double-blind-peer-reviewed online scholarly journal. The term "mindbody" is used by Allan Combs and Stanley Krippner to refer to "the entire set of mental and physiological aspects of a person's moment-to-moment experience" (Combs & Krippner, 2003, p. 50).

The goal of JMS is to allow all interested readers from any discipline unlimited Internet access to original, high-quality, cutting-edge manuscripts, reports, and letters published in a timely fashion.

Articles submitted to JMS may be theoretical, methodological, or empirical (qualitative, quantitative, or mixed-method). The themes published by JMS include: 1) the varieties of human conscious experience that transcend the parameters of ordinary waking consciousness, 2) those subjects that traditionally fell under the categories of "parapsychology" and "psi research," and 3) those areas generally referred to as "alternative and complementary medicine." Specifically, the topics in which JMS is interested include (but are not limited to):

- Phenomena typically referred to as altered states of consciousness
- Humanistic and transpersonal experiences
- Shamanism
- Survival of consciousness
- Mediumship
- Near Death Experiences (NDEs)
- Out of Body Experiences (OBEs)
- Anomalous cognition (ESP: Telepathy, Clairvoyance, Precognition)
- Energetic processes (Psychokinesis)
- Energy healing

Submissions to JMS are now being accepted and should be emailed as attached Word documents to: JMSeditor@windbridge.org

All manuscripts should be written in English, conform to the stylistic guidelines of the 5th edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, and must not be previously published or under consideration for publication elsewhere.
