In The News
A Quantum Psychology pioneer, Valerie loves learning and sharing her findings about how spiritual experiences are indeed possible.
Below is her most recent IANDS talk, this time to the California Central Coast group!
She is also currently writing a book with quantum engineer Doug Matzke PhD! This book aims to give the lay reader the most up-to-date quantum-information model of consciousness that validates those who have had spiritually-transformative experiences.
Below you can find Valerie's Part 1 and 2 of her original interview with "Quantum Doug", where he first began trying to help her understand his mathematical "bit physics" model. Since then, these conversations have led Doug to update his model, and introduce "Existons" as the discrete unit of consciousness, out of which our physical universe is constructed. In this model, consciousness is no longer emergent, but fundamental and built in before space, time, energy and matter arise. All things are conscious. Subjective experience, meaning, synchronicity, Law of Attraction all are explained. For consciousness researchers out there, the math supports the model, and paves the way for a more Quantum Psychology.
In Valerie’s presentation to the International Association for Near-Death Studies (IANDS) California Central Coast group, she shares how common are many types of spiritual experiences. She then goes on to explain why classical physics, materialist models, focusing on spacetime rules and electromagnetism cannot be valid; why quantum/informational models highlighting nonlocal consciousness are needed; why this…
Join this Part 2 of 2 interview with quantum engineer, Dr. Doug Matzke, as he explains about our aura, chakras, orbs, subtle energy light and so much more!
In this video series interview Part 1-2, quantum engineer Doug Matzke addresses Valerie’s questions about his Quantum Mind Source Science Model, a scientific basis for the quantum mind, spiritual & non-ordinary experiences, spiritual light bodies, energy healing, even orbs, experiences of past or future, telepathy, mind-matter effects, and even Law of Attraction.
Join Valerie as she discusses consciousness with quantum physicist Anirban Bandyopadyay, and the uniqueness of each soul, even of each atom or particle of our universe.
Multidimensional Reality & Nonlocal Mind: Space, Time, and Beyond with Anirban Bandyopadhyay, Part 1
Join Valerie Varan, MS, LPC, NCC as she discusses in this multi-part series, The Nature of Reality and Quantum Consciousness. My guest is quantum physicist Anirban Bandyopadhyay. Here in Part 1, you will hear him address the question as to how he sees the “multidimensional” aspect of our quantum reality, since experiencers commonly use the…
Classic Presentations
For Valerie's original IANDS conference presentation on how quantum physics has evolved, and helps us explain supposedly "impossible" experiences, check out Quantum Nature of Healing Light & Love: How Quantum Physics and Psychology Affirm NDEs. You will see the development of thought about the nature of our reality from the old materialistic paradigm of "things", to the world of energy and electromagnetism, and ultimately to the quantum. The significance of key concepts are explained such as energy coherence, resonance and entrainment; frequencies and fields; to quantum nonlocality, superposition, entanglement, and collapse of the wavefunction. These help us bridge the understanding of consciousness from the spacetime body and correlates in the brain, to that which defys the rules of spacetime, that which we call "quantum".
In Explaining the Unexplainable, you will hear Valerie's most up-to-date talk, which gives you the prevalence data on many spiritual, near-death, out-of-body kinds of experiences. Valerie goes on to share why classical, spacetime, electromagnetic scientific explanations cannot be valid, and why we need more quantum/informational theories of nonlocal consciousness. Lastly, Valerie addresses why this should matter to the field of psychotherapy and to each of us!
In Cosmic Mystery, you will hear a more detailed presentation on the numerous forms of extraordinary spiritual experiences. And in Maintaining Luminous Love, you will be lead through some experiential exercises as Valerie helps you tap into higher spiritual Love in a matter of minutes. Enjoy!

A Quantum Explanation of Love
On our last show, Valerie Varan described in quantum-physical terms many of the NDE-related experiences so difficult to explain in ordinary language. On today’s program, Valarie tackles a possible quantum explanation for what the NDEr reports as the experience of Love.
How Near-Death Experiences Are Indeed Possible: Part 1 Interview by NDE Radio Host Lee Witting
Join NDE Radio show host, Lee Witting, as he interviews Valerie about her book, Living in a Quantum Reality, a self-help book for those who have shifted into higher consciousness states from their near-death or spiritually-transformative experiences. And, as he inquires about the energies that make supposedly impossible experiences possible.
