Our dis-eases and pain tell a story, not just about our
cells, but about ourselves and our personal histories and beliefs. By listening
to our story we discover how we create what our body lives with. This class
provides a foundation in mind-body medicine, and explores and integrates
therapeutic and spiritual perspectives on healing through teachings and
practices that connect us with, and consciously engage, the authentic self.
Participants will learn how to listen to symptoms and inner wisdom using mind-body
therapies of guided imagery, meditation and psychotherapy. Discover the message
and meaning hidden inside pain and symptoms. Learn how to cultivate and awaken
qualities and ways of being that lead into the heart of healing.

"One
does not become enlightened by
imaging figures of light, it is by making the darkness conscious."
--Jung
"When any
experience of body, heart, or mind keeps repeating in consciousness, it
is a signal that this visitor is asking for a deeper and fuller
attention….Under all the tears, the pain, the fear, and the
anger we have contracted ourselves around, we can find freedom, joy,
and ease in the face of all life.”
--Jack Kornfield, A Path with Heart
Paul
Epstein, N.D.
is a Naturopathic Physician and Mindfulness Meditation Teacher
specializing in Mind-Body Integrative Medicine and treating people with
stress related symptoms and diseases. Dr. Epstein is a popular
presenter at the Omega Institute and the Open Center. Since his
1984 course "Healing, Consciousness and Transformation," Paul has been
living the question "Where's the Healing?" Being "holistic" goes beyond
finding the right supplement, botanical extract, homeopathic remedy or
trigger point. It is being able to contact the deeper essence of a
person, whether we call it the spirit, soul, or vital force. In
contacting this deeper essence, the holistic physician is able to tap
the person's true source of healing, and initiate a process that
includes both healing and transformation.
Paul integrates mind-body therapies, natural medicines, Buddhist
psychology, Mindfulness Meditation and psychotherapy into his
multi-disciplined, whole-person, relationship-centered approach. This
distinctive "healing soup" philosophy is especially empowering and
effective for people with stress related disorders, immune system
issues, and chronic degenerative diseases.
Dr. Epstein's background includes co-founding and co-directing the
Israel Center for Mind-Body Medicine. He has taught holistic medicine
and counseling on the undergraduate and graduate levels and has trained
psychotherapists, social workers and mental health professionals,
physicians, nurses and medical students, yoga teachers and other health
care professionals in the art & science of Mind-Body Medicine.
