Medicine brings greats gifts to prevent and treat illness. However, our nature means that ultimately our minds and bodies will pass away. Realising our capacity for self healing brings meaning to our life. It is a shift in our level of awareness where we can experience, if only fleetingly: unity, transcendent love and immortality. This deep healing and deep health is transformational. It is the only way that we can justify (as in make good) and bring meaning to suffering.
The path to deep healing and deep health is the path of a contemplative. A contemplative life has meditation at the centre. However we also need to pay attention to our body, our thoughts and our work so that these activities rest on a bed of enhanced awareness – Being.
The talk will explore the path to self healing through contemplative living.
