Pre-Symposium Panel: The Connection between the Human Biofield, Consciousness, and Healing

Join us for a lively panel discussion exploring the relationship between the human biofield, consciousness, and healing. Research into biofield science is helping to elucidate the mechanisms of classical healing systems like acupuncture, practices like qi gong, and energy healing modalities such as Reiki. A distinguishing characteristic of classical healing systems is the central role of consciousness in the optimization of health and prevention of disease. A panel of distinguished authors, clinicians, and researchers will share their thoughts on how the connection between the mind and the biofield plays a major role in our ability to heal from even the most serious chronic illnesses. They will also explore how myth, ritual, and concepts from various spiritual traditions can play an important role in maximizing the benefits of biofield therapies.

Course Objectives:

1. What is the relationship between the biofield and consciousness/mind?
2. What are the implications for healing?
3. How essential are things like myth, ritual, metaphysics, and familiarity with the concepts of traditional healing systems to maximize the benefits of biofield therapies?
