The Voices Inside Their Heads

I love this article. Gail Hornstein is someone I’d like to have tea with. For more…..click on the link below to Sun Magazine.

“If we lived in a part of the world that was given to greater religiosity, unusual psychological experiences might be labeled as divine gifts.”

“There’s skepticism that people who have been labeled “mentally ill” can get better…This is one of the great tragedies of psychiatry.”

“My belief that I’ve learned more about psychology from mental patients than from anyone else is certainly an unpopular position for someone with a PhD in psychology to take.

“We would have far fewer people labeled “mentally ill” if we didn’t include all the young adults who don’t have enough guidance to move forward in their lives, who feel so overwhelmed by others’ expectations that they can’t cope and fall apart.”

Aloha from the Tucson desert-

I woke up this morning renewed and ready to share more of the profound teachings I have received. It’s exciting that some of the best and brightest minds are having conversations about bringing ancient indigenous knowledge into mainstream healing.

Medicine along with everything else in our world is changing fast. Watch and listen as leaders in their field talk about and explore these questions:

• CAN YOUR THOUGHTS AFFECT YOUR HEALTH?
• WHAT IS THE PLACEBO EFFECT?
• WHAT CONTROLS HUMAN BIOLOGY?
• WHAT IS NECESSARY TO CREATE AN OPTIMAL HEALING SYSTEM?
