Title : The medical, social and economic relevance of mindbody practice
Abstract:
Ancient cultures knew that the most profound medicine is produced with the human system. From about 1850, this insight was lost. Starting in the 1960s, the ideal of The Healer Within has been reconstituted and the foundational ideal is that each individual can turn on the medicine within through personal choices. In the Ayurvedic tradition of India the signature method to maximize health improvement, stress mastery and healing is Yoga – MindBody Practice. In China the signature method is Qigong – and Tai Chi – MindBody Practice.. Dr Jahnke will discuss the origins of these MindBody systems, their essential healing benefits, as well as their social and economic implications.
