Mind-body medicine -- rebellious alternative?

Mind-body medicine is a patchwork of ideas about the way in which we think that our minds make us sick, and might make us well. The big ideas influence how we think about disease, how we seek out different care for ourselves, even how we experience our bodies in health and illness.

Mainstream medicine says leave your mind out of it, you've got a bodily disorder, and we're going to cure it with some kind of physical intervention. And mainstream medicine is often pretty good at this. So as long as it's doing its job very well, a lot of us are very happy to embrace it.

Few quotes from the King

• A genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus but a molder of consensus
• The time is always right to do what is right.

Our MIND!

Our mind (whose physiological counterpart is Brain ) is consist of two parts-
left and right mind (brain).

Both these two left and right parts give rise to different creative urges in us.



The left Brain takes care of logic, theology, philosophy, math and science etc. All the thought process happens in this left Brain.

Where as the right mind give rise to music, art, painting, love & other emotions. The right mind immensely facilitates the process of meditation. Right mind do not think. It is deeply related to the source of infinite creativity. Here thoughts does not arise as a thinking process, rather anything happens as an instant flash of creativity. This part does not think. This part feels.
