All of us at Helfgott are excited about our upcoming conference Transforming the Mind: Consciousness in Medicine. This two-day conference will bring together nationally renowned speakers, leading scientists, and health practitioners to discuss the current models of understanding consciousness and its function in providing quality patient care. Historically, medical traditions have facilitated healing not only through the physical body, but also through shifts in consciousness. This holistic approach to health and healing requires an awareness of the body as a dynamic, intelligent, and evolving system. Our conference brings together revolutionary thinkers to discuss elements of consciousness, quantum biology, and methods to inspire transformational change. Our goal is to provide a forum for students, practitioners and the community to explore a deeper understanding of consciousness in medicine. For more information about the event, click here.
“Most people live, whether physically, intellectually or morally, in a very restricted circle of their potential being. They make very small use of their possible consciousness and of their soul’s resources in general, much like a man who, out of his whole bodily organism, should get into a habit of using and moving only his little finger.”
-William James

When reason is used merely to justify the desires of the body it becomes a slave to the animal part of human existence. The first step is to notice how you use your reason, eg. to justify your self imposed restrictions. The second is to understand how utterly remarkable and unique reason is and how it belongs as the ruler of the body, not its puppet.
