PSY 506 – Essentials of Mind-Body Medicine
This course begins with experiential data on mind-body healing in some detail, then expounds the essence of alternative healing practices such as acupuncture, ayurveda, homeopathy, and other spirit-mind centered therapies, and body centered therapies such as yoga. Can consciousness heal the body of disease as claimed in all spiritual traditions and as vindicated by the data? This question is discussed with the help of recent ideas of quantum healing and science within consciousness. Finally, it explores the subject of wellness and creativity of the body. (3 credits)
