Healing between Spirit and Medicine
Lying on a gurney after emergency surgery, as white-coats rushed past barking medical jargon, one of the founding fathers of mind-body medicine felt his nurse’s lingering touch on his arm. In that silent and simple moment, Larry Dossey felt a powerful healing. Now, this renowned medical expert and wise elder shares how such simple and accessible experiences as touch, music and prayer can be healing. Dossey has spent decades examining the delicate dance between spirit and medicine. Relying on anecdotes, personal history and sound scientific data, his research on an emerging image of consciousness addresses how we can meet our inner needs alongside those of our physical bodies. If you have ever felt spiritually malnourished as you seek a medical cure, had a spiritual experience dismissed by your doctors, or simply are open to the healing promise of life around us, you will be invigorated by Larry Dossey’s reassuring vision of health. Come recover your sense of sacred wonder at the mysteries of human reality and learn how consciousness and spirituality occupy a special place in the origins of health and illness. Larry Dossey, M.D., is a former internist and chief of staff of Medical City Dallas Hospital, the former co-chair of the Panel on Mind/Body Interventions for the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine at the National Institutes of Health, executive editor of the peer-reviewed journal, Explore: The Journal of Science and Healing, and the author of ten books on the role of consciousness and spirituality in health. This program is co-sponsored by the Cathedral College and the Washington Society for Jungian Psychology. More information about the WSJP can be found at www.jung.org.
