Episode Description
We all know that the era we live in is about breaking free from the dualistic mindset that traps us in suffering. However, this is not easy. The concept of “health” for example has become an obsessive focus in Western culture, to the point that we forget how to live—or even to live at all. Despite advances in quantum physics and neuroscience proving the “oneness” of the universe and in nature, we still approach the human body as a “machine” and attempt to control our health with strategic diets and lifestyles rooted in a dualistic view of life. But health is not merely the absence of disease, and the body is not a machine to be treated with a Cartesian mindset. Health is the powerful and harmonious integration of mind, body, spirit, and karma. What does this mean? Let’s explore the dynamic of health and aliveness with Sarah Lascano, a Master Energy Medicine Practitioner and renowned mind-body expert who works with cancer patients and other health concerns. Let’s realign “health” with our journey toward harmony in mind-body and Oneness in our lives. “The healing process is the awakening to the original wholeness of life.” (Zen master Soeng Hyang
