Dr. Bergel explains that of all the great advice on health that can be found today, it is the simple notion of sitting still and being quiet that may be most significant. For it is by taking the time to just be that we can connect to not only the source of health and healing, but to our true selves—to our passions and to what gives our life meaning.
In this presentation, Dr. Bergel will answer these and many more questions in a unique examination of the connection among the mind, body, and spirit. Weaving hard research with humorous storytelling, Dr. Bergel provides clear insight as to how healing occurs in the human being. He also discusses why some scientists believe that the mind is everywhere, and how any discussion of a mind-body connection is incomplete without a discussion of the human spirit and the role of spirituality in health and healing.
In this program, Dr. Bergel examines developments in quantum physics and other sciences, discussing why they have mandated that we change our view of our world and ourselves. Addressing these areas in terms that can be easily understood by a wide audience, he draws comparisons to our scientific proofs and our spiritual beliefs, illustrating how these two seemingly opposite perspectives are pointing us in the same direction.
Dr. Bergel explains in this program how advanced work in health and science has revealed the importance of the most fundamental aspects of life. In a world where we are inundated with information and spend millions of dollars seeking health solutions from pills, potions, and gadgets, it is by returning to the basics that health can be found. The answers are inherently within and are the simplest, most basic concepts of our existence.
In this presentation, Dr. Bergel discusses how each of these trends is simply a metaphor for the larger movement in our society today—the movement of a holistic view of life. He relates that there is no such thing as holistic health; rather, to be healthy is to be whole. Further, the search for wholeness occurring today has broken down the barriers between conventional and alternative—Eastern and Western—and traditional and progressive. Dr. Bergel examines how we got such a fragmented view of ourselves and of life in the first place and shows how we are coming back together in the new century.
Dr. Bergel discusses the history of alternative medicine in the U.S. and then explains what is involved in many of the modalities currently viewed as alternative. From acupuncture to chiropractic to yoga, he will address the theories and practices of a variety of alternative therapies, showing how each represents the wholeness that is at the root of health. He concludes with a discussion of why the merging of alternative and conventional approaches is the beginning of the end of alternative medicine, but the advent of an exciting age in health and medicine—one in which people will have more choices, and possible solutions, than ever before.
