Mind-Body Medicine is the revolutionary approach first introduced by Dr. Miller in the 1970s. It differs from mainstream medicine in that it recognizes the profound connections between mind, body, emotion, and spirit, and harnesses their power to unleash healing and transformation. Mind-Body Medicine comprises a dynamic, all-encompassing paradigm that blends ancient wisdom with modern science to tap the innate healing potential of the human body.

 

This cutting-edge discipline recognizes that our thoughts, feelings, and beliefs profoundly impact physical health and well-being. Mind-Body approaches to treatment emphasize the fact that human beings are not just a collection of organs and tissues but complex, integrated living systems. This perspective empowers us to take control of our own health by drawing on the vast, untapped reservoirs of healing energy that reside within us.

 

Accessing this potential through a range of transformative practices such as meditation, deep relaxation, hypnosis, cognitive restructuring, and guided imagery, you can unlock the healing power of your mind and body and overcome challenges to your health, happiness, and success. These Mind-Tools will show you how to focus your mind and emotions to promote healing and well-being, and connect with your true Self.

 

Mind-Body Medicine and Emotions

It is important to note that from the beginning, Dr. Miller’s approach acknowledged the contribution to healing of Mind, Body, Spirit, and Emotions, even though for ease of pronunciation, its name has been shortened to “Mind-Body Medicine.” It is vital to recognize that our emotions are directly produced by the subconscious Limbic System and commonly serve as the trigger of physical symptoms and diseases, as well as mood disorders such as anxiety, depression, and rage, and habit disorders such as addiction. When we have learned to quiet the Limbic System–what Dr. Miller often refers to as “the monkey mind”–through meditation, self-hypnosis, or prayer, our higher mind becomes free to deal with the source of our problems through analysis and strategizing. By guiding yourself into states of deep relaxation, you can let go of distracting thoughts and sensations and allow yourself to be present in the “now.”

Once your awareness is no longer being diverted by disquieting thoughts of the past or anxious projections of the future, guided imagery can begin to work its magic on you. Initially it can take you to a special place–perhaps a sacred place–in your imagination, where body, mind, spirit, and emotions can begin to heal.

Here you can gain access to your wisdom and visualize making life choices based on reality and your tr abilities. What’s more, this deeply relaxed and focused state frees you to open fully to your inner spiritual guidance.

Mind-Body Medicine and the Spirit

 Authentic Mind-Body practitioners always consider the “spiritual” dimension of each patient/client. Each of us has a higher mind, the conscious, intentional, rational, analytical intellect. Most illnesses and dysfunctions represent situations in which the subconscious “monkey mind” is making decisions, triggering emotions and behaviors, and frustrating our conscious intentions. Sometimes, however, the choices we are making to try influence the subconscious, are often unwise or illogical, usually because they are affected by anxiety and stress reactions which inhibit the clear thinking of the conscious mind.

Fortunately, there is another level we might think of as the “spiritual” or philosophical level. We all have this; it is the part of us that storehouses our spiritual principles, our deepest values, our ideal selves, . . . Even if we practice no established religion or faith, we all have an inner model of the kinds of thoughts, words, and actions we “should” have or perform, although we often fall short. This level is closely allied with the place of wisdom and wise action within. To act wisely is to make a choice in the present that you will look back upon approvingly in several weeks, months, or years and think, “that was wise.”

The state of deep relaxation enables us to bypass the anxiety factor and access the highest sense of who we are or want to be. It enables us to align our choices with these principles and visualize ourselves behaving according to them in thought word and deed. This is one of the ways Mind-Body Medicine includes our spiritual dimension. 

The Evidence Basis of Mind-Body Medicine

In the 1970s and 1980s, mainstream medical and psychological professionals were hesitant to adopt an approach that, although logical and based on sound theory, could boast very few peer-reviewed double-blind studies. Those studies were slow in coming for many reasons, including the following:

• We did not yet have measuring instruments that could detect the changes the mind was creating (e.g., changes in antibody levels).

• Pharmaceutical companies, the prime source of funding for research, were not interested in proving the efficacy of tools that would lower their profits.

• Much longer timeframes are often needed for such studies, compared to the few weeks or months necessary to show the usefulness of a new symptom-reducing drug.

But, by the 1990s, our ability to carry out these experiments had improved, and in the decades since the mind/body approach was introduced, tens of thousands of studies have clearly demonstrated the enormous impact our thoughts, beliefs, and emotions have on every system in the body. Mental and emotional stress has been linked to nearly every illness, right up to and including the top five causes of death: heart disease, cancer, respiratory disease, accidents, and suicide. 

Most modern training institutions have begun to teach this new field, but huge systems change slowly, especially when success would lead to significantly lower profits. If pharmaceutical companies could make the kinds of multi-billion-dollar profits from these techniques they do from peddling pills to treat symptomatic relief, they would have sold you these mind tools long, long ago! Dr. Miller offers you these empowering techniques here for a small fraction of the cost of mainstream medical care.
