Being authentic requires listening to our inner voice, not necessarily our impulses. Being open to listening to these instincts is often foreign to accepted consensus. Steve tells us a fascinating story of how he learned this.

Listen to your body to improve your health. The breath holds important memories that can release how we breathe. Root causes cannot be solved with drugs. Unfortunately we don't learn this in medical school. Your body is your ally and holds the answers to health.

Listening to your instincts, what your body is telling you. Your body's signals tell you about anxiety, self doubt, and how to achieve true wellness. Listening to your inner voice allows you to become authentic. Learn to trust!

When the buzz words of medical practice change, they reflect a change in how it works. Today's medicine now looks at hospitals as factories and office visits as economic transactions. Patients are no longer patients but consumers or customers. Doctors and nurses are considered providers.
Reducing medicine to economics makes a mockery of the bond between...

Hospital re-admission rates were studied by Henry Ford Hospital researchers on patients with congestive heart failure. What they found was a bit surprising because it wasn't the severity of their congestive heart failure that determined re-admissions. They reported that a history of psychiatric problems such as depression, anxiety and other mood disorders...

People go to medical school because they want to help people. Their training changes their personalities and directs them to become detached scientists. Yet the key aspects of healing have to do with the heart connection with people.

Dealing with death and dying is a very important issue. For some this is
an overwhelming problem and for others it can be a time to make peace
with what is happening. We need to come to terms with our situation and
make important decisions about how we're going to deal with many
challenging issues. Dying people need help with psychospiritual issues as...

The October 10, 2012 issue of the British Medical Journal reported that MD gut feelings should be seriously considered because they have valuable diagnostic value. It is interesting that the validity of gut feelings was the same for both new and highly experienced MDs. Where does this information come from? Do we have a connection with spirit?
Dr. Len and...

It is important to look at the underlying causes for disease rather than treat symptoms with drugs that suppress symptoms. Most of what we see in medical practice is related to disease. Who is this person, what is their history, how do they manage their lives and how do they cope with stress are critical questions that should be part of our inquiry.

Dr. Miller explains that without respect for patients you cannot be a healer. This respect needs to be addressed in medical school and applied to students as well. Listening and caring are indispensible ingredients for everyone.

The journey of a young healer that began in early childhood is shared. Medical training focused on treating symptoms, not healing. His training extended to CAM with Andrew Weil and with the Native American Tradition. He learned that the body is a reflector of who we are at the psychospiritual level.

When we look at self as heart, love becomes the embracing mechanism. Love is the binding force that acknowledges our truth. There is a dance between love and separation in today's world. Gratitude is the sustaining force that maintains being present in a loving state. The ego only knows about time and space and the heart knows nothing except presence. Love...

Mainstream medicine does not take into account the role of spirit in healthcare. In fact is discounts it because it cannot be understood in scientific language. By doing so it deprives the practitioner from considering the spiritual aspects of patients. Our reductionistic approach cannot consider the wholeness of each human being let alone the wholeness...

When you don't know the outcome of a medical test, the uncertainty of not knowing can be more stressful and anxiety provoking than the worst possible outcome. Our minds tend to worry and we need to learn to "worry well." Chronic stress suppresses immunity and sets the stage for further inflammation and progression of whatever disease...

Love is wanting another person to be happy. It is unconditional. Most of what we call love is meeting our own needs and is a form of self love. Love is not just a personal emotional experience. Generally, we appreciate somone when they make us feel good. However, this is not loving them, we're loving their satisfaction of our needs.
Making...
