Scientific Holistic Healing and Who You Are

There are many very important basic facts of life which many of us learn bit by bit, and take for granted too much. The slide here is one of them.Many of us know people who need healing, and after 70 almost all of us need more and better healing ourselves, whether we like it or not. And who is the “I” who needs healing? That is important too. HOLISTIC HEALING is the important idea that we each are a whole system (an open system connected to the rest of life and the cosmos), and that the best results come from considering the whole system and the many interactions between its parts. SCIENTIFIC HOLISTIC HEALING is when we make full use of science, combining both the first person scientific approach and the best of third person objective science and medicine. (This is a case of what I call “first order sanity” in the first of my 2019 publications I link to at Werbos.com/religions.htm.)  In a way, our results are only as good as our understanding of how this system really works, and I have spent ever so many years on that, and on connecting it to the many conditions I have run across through the years.I have already written ever so much about the box on top and the box on the lower middle. But what of the links between THOSE two boxes, for healing? I can only mention a few things this morning, when other duties call. For example – I was ever so grateful when Arlington County, in its initial response to covid lockdown, offered three free classes we took in the open air, two on tai qi and one practicing art. Simple mindfulness, connecting from above to below and back, and using awareness to make up for the horrible loss of balance and skill I had after a fall two years ago… But in the scientific understanding of the brain, the links to the left and the right are also ever so important. More later if I have time. Well.. one thought: I gave a talk yesterday (recorded at MST) on the most advanced new directions in understanding how brains really work. Freud and Pribram were major parts of it, and THEY did not neglect the role of hormones! Nor did Kamal Harris’ mother or several of the women very important to the solid science here.
