My journey into the exploration of the Mind Body connection started early on in my life, as my first patient told me the personal story behind her systemic lupus erythematosus. Many years later, as I woke up one morning with an awful skin rash, I remembered that case and had the insight that allowed me to heal almost instantly. This set me off on a journey of study into the power of the Mind Body connection in healing. Symptoms are symbolic of the emotions and thoughts we experience. When seen as indicators, symptoms can guide us to the aspects of our lives that need profound healing.

Ever since Descartes, and for the last 4 centuries, mind and body have been separated in medicine. Things started to change at the end of the twentieth century with the advent of psychoneuroimmunology. But does the neuro-hormonal model explain the intimate link between mind and body? What if there was a matrix of information that dictates the characteristics of our anatomy and physiology?

Mind and Body are co-emergent qualities of a person.  The stories we have adopted for our lives are translated into how we think, how we behave, as well as what we look for in reality. Our interactions with other people are also based on those stories, creating a circle of self-perpetuating experience that traps us even more.
