Two and a half years ago Amy was critically injured in a motor vehicle accident that she is still in the process of recovering from. She very nearly lost her leg and has endured multiple surgeries and much pain. Yet it was in the very midst of being rescued from the accident that Amy made a conscious choice about how to relate to the entire event that she has not moved from since. That choice was to identify with, and act from, her highest ideals regardless of the outcome. Wouldn’t it be heaven if all our patients took such a positive creative, and non-victimized stance relative to themselves? If they did what would be the role of holistic and integral medicine?
Amy and I discuss the spiritual perspective on trauma, illness, and the role that awakening and free will play in health and healing. I have provided a link to Amy’s discussion of her accident and her response to it below. This course should be compelling to anyone with an interest in the spiritual practice of medicine.
