Sinopsis

These audio documentaries, originally heard on public radio, explore health care for the "whole person" - mind, body and spirit - and how that fits into the new health care era. Hear powerful stories from doctors, nurses and patients who take this natural, low-tech approach, sometimes known as "integrative medicine". The importance of an individual's self-care is also explored.

    “At the end of the day,” says Jonathan Star about his English translation of Tao te Ching from the original Chinese, “it’s not about attaining anything.  The Tao keeps saying ‘it’s everywhere!’  It’s to notice another part of yourself that’s just overlooked.  You know, we see what the mind shows us, but there’s another dimension […]

  • The Practice of Forgiveness, Pt. 2

    When we nurse grudges, the person clinging to a resentment often pays a high price in anxiety, hostility, perhaps depression.
