Mind-Body Medicine

Courses Offered

Overview

Mind-Body Medicine explores the role that the mind, emotions & spirit play in contributing to health and illness. Stress, conflicting desires and goals, unresolved interpersonal issues, fears and pain, and numerous limiting beliefs all contribute to one's experience of health, or disease.

This Mind-Body Medicine courses closely examine the mind-body connection in relation to health and healing, providing diagnostic tools and resources for determining the root causes of illness, and therapeutic methods for addressing these causes. Our courses draw from conventional/Western sciences (including quantum theory) and from the Vedic/yogic philosophy of life. In this respect, the courses integrate traditional and scientific perspectives of health, wellbeing and illness, and the role of the mind in promoting and maintaining health.
