My Bio My left brain? M.D. FAAFP Hospital/ICU M.P.H B.S. USMC Officer: flying My right brain? Psy.D. ABHM RscP Acupuncture Hypnosis- Erickson Homeopathic Professional entertainer/musician

My Calling: August 12, 1984 Life evaluation 2x/year Successful musician/entertainer Where am I going next? How will I know what to do next? The Process

My Calling: what I discovered Holistic family physician A surprise to me I didnt know: Any doctors personally Anything about medical education There was no such thing as a holistic family physician at that time Saying yes to being called Didnt take no for an answer The power of answering the Call: Luke 3:5 (Isaiah 40) Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth;

Healing What do I mean by healing? The revelation, the uncovering, the discovering of the perfection that underlies everything- and that includes me; that All is Well How will I know if I am healed? Remember when you were a child; remember the last time you felt that NOTHING could limit your joy Remember the feeling of being whole; being healed Write that down; right now

Curing vs Healing They are not the same thing Definition/origin: Curing (to care/worry): To effect a recovery from (a disease) Healing (whole): To restore to health or soundness

Curing relief or recovery from a disease something that corrects a harmful or troublesome situation to restore to health, soundness, or normality to bring about recovery to free from something objectionable or harmful Most often, my patients tell me that they no longer experience signs and symptoms of a dis-ease.

Curing vs Healing Most patients and clients come to me to be cured. To be fixed. But curing is always temporary. The latest pill The best herb or supplement The fastest/surest way to get rid of what is making them feel sick But, there is nothing wrong with curing Its not curing OR healing Curing can be a road to building faith; to experience healing

Curing vs Healing But remember, a cure is always temporary There is no perfect pill to heal you There is no best herb or supplement to heal you There is no fastest/surest way to become healed Endlessly seeking only natural or only medical or only spiritual methods/modalities of curing your ills will only lead to frustration But: Accepting where you; what you really believe in Seeking a holistic approach to the revelation of healing in your life can lead to what you experienced as a child: joy

Health and Healing What do they mean? If healing is the revelation of the perfect state of All is Well Then your health is the manifestation of this perfection in all aspects of your life: Body Mind Spirit Relationship

Holistic physician What does that mean? Doctor: from Latin: doctor "religious teacher, adviser, scholar," Physician: Classical Greek noun phusis and derived adjective phusikos meant "nature" and "natural. From this came the Late Latin physicus, which meant a doctor of medicine Holistic: 1926, coined, along with holism, by Gen. J.C. Smuts ( ), from Gk. holos "whole: the theory that nature consists of wholes. And that it is the tendency of nature to produce wholes- increasingly more functional systems.

Holistic systems René Descartes ( )Cartesian dualism: body & mind are separate Here, we accept no separation of body, mind, & spirit We use these aspects to remind us that we must address all these aspects if we are going to see our wholeness. Remember Gen. J.C. Smuts: it is the tendency of nature to produce wholes- increasingly more functional systems.

Three Legged Stool To remind us of our three aspects: Body Mind Spirit Relationship Body Mind Spirit

The plan for each class Three Legged Stool of Healing Mind Body Spirit Each class we will: Feed and strengthen the mind so that we may understand Engage in active practice to feel the change in our bodies Deepen our practice and commitment to knowing that All is Well Commit to sharing this healing revelation with others

The Three Legged Stool Dont settle for anything less Body Mind Spirit Relationship Body Mind Spirit

Three Legged Stool Body, Mind, and Spirit To experience optimal health and balance in our lives: Each leg of the stool must be equal The legs must be just long enough Too short- we are living like a child Too long- our heads are in the clouds Just right- our feet are on the ground and we are fully supported as mature, healthy adults Body Mind Spirit

Three Legged Stool Draw the legs of your stool right now: Body: how long is this leg? Mind: how long is this leg? Spirit: how long is this leg? Are they equal? Are your feet on the ground? Is your head in the clouds?

The Heart and the Brain "Imagination is more important than knowledge. Albert Einstein

The Heart and the Brain There are direct connections between the heart and the brain

Neurocardiology This is the study and practice of how our hearts and our nervous systems interact The history of our nervous systems: The cells that will become every part of our nervous system begin in a single neural plate These cells are divided up and move to what will become: Our brain The nerve cells of our heart The autonomic nervous system The brain in our bowels The cortex of our adrenal glands

Neurocardiology

Many brains Two of the most important: Cerebrum Heart nervous system Heart Wisdom 10 times as much information goes from the heart to the brain than from the brain to the heart

Neurocardiology The history of our hearts nervous system: 3 weeks: primitive heart muscle cells begin to beat on their own- and rapidly get in sync w/ the mothers heart They become coherent- individually, and with each other

How we become healed A radical view There is nothing that needs to be healed; only the truth revealed Our beliefs about our lives produce the experience of our lives You know many examples of this The radical thing about this is that I mean the statement literally: we are already living in a perfect universe that is always in perfect order. And that includes me. All is well

How we become healed So why do I feel so bad? Why do I get sick and eventually die? Our beliefs are powerful. Our minds have the ability to produce profound: Mental experiences Emotional experiences Physical changes and sickness; and wellness In fact:

How we become healed My mind creates my life

How we become healed Any time I move away from the perfect, dynamic balance of the All is Well it creates a force A vector Our beliefs about our lives produce the experience of our lives You know many examples of this This force is in proportion and direction to how I have strayed from the Truth There is a powerful positive force unerringly pulling me back to the Truth…..

Three Principles All is well My mind creates my life There is a powerful positive force unerringly pulling me back to the Truth….. That….

The First Principle All is well

All is well The universe is always in perfect order; if it were not it would fly apart. It would be logically impossible God/Spirit/Allah always sees the perfection in all situations; God cannot see imperfection where none exists It is WE who dont see the perfection

Evidence for All is well…. Why I know that all is well I have had direct spiritual and transcendental experiences that have told me that this is so Science The universe; all we know; is one continuous whole Physics

Evidence for All is well…. Physics Newton Quantum mechanics Physical cosmology: Big Bang; expanding, accelerating Universe: Another theory: Universe Reborn Endlessly in New Model of the Cosmos Recently gathered data from exploding, dying stars called supernovae have revealed that the universe is not only expanding, as predicted, but that its rate of expansion is accelerating. The only force that could explain such cosmic acceleration is a source of energy, not visible or yet identified by scientists, that permeates the entire universe. Physicists have dubbed the mysterious force "dark energy."Universe Reborn Endlessly in New Model of the Cosmos

Evidence for All is well…. Physics What we see; what we dont see…. What we know; what we dont know…. The manifest Universe:

Evidence for All is well…. Dark matter: >70% of manifest Universe about which we know next to nothing.

Evidence for All is well…. There is no discontinuity Most of what there is in our universe…we dont see…we dont know What we DO see/know is only a small part of the POSSIBLE. The possible of what we might see and know. There is physical evidence that what we see/know…the very particles and waves… come in and out of existence due to our intention to see and know about them. To measure them. Wheeler's Classic Delayed Choice Experiment

Evidence for All is well…. Wheeler's Classic Delayed Choice Experiment Physics\basic_delayed_choice.htm

Vector practice : There is a powerful positive force unerringly pulling me back to the Truth….. Rubber band I cant figure out whats holding me back….

Revealing healing in my life Third: I Surrender and experience that All is well: The power of faith the Wright Brothers saw themselves enjoying flying with great facility. It is said that one of the brothers would tell the other, when their varied experiences did not turn out as they expected: Its all right, Brother, I can see myself riding in that machine, and it travels easily and steadily.
