Deep Medicine, Deep Healing with William Stewart

MP3 Download

"Everything - everything we think, everything we say, everything we do - is either health creating or health negating. When we begin to look at health and healing that way, we can enter the realm of health creation from anywhere-nutrition, exercise, contemplative practice, relationship." These are the words of Dr. William Stewart, a leader in bringing an integrative approach to healing to the world of conventional medicine. Educated in mainstream American medical schools and by world-renowned physicians in India, he merges the best of both worlds in a truly holistic perspective and practice. As an educator and a clinician he teaches both staff and patients why finding a sense of purpose in life is fundamental to making healthy choices, and that just one minute of contemplation can have a dramatic impact on quality of life. Inspired by his leadership, the California Pacific Medical Center has a full-sized labyrinth - used extensively by staff as well as patients, as well as the largest consumer-oriented health library in the United States. Even Dr. Stewart's voice has a gentle, healing resonance, so that this interview will leave you feeling peaceful yet empowered to bring new awareness and presence to your own healing path.
