Spiritual Community
It is important to be in the loop of spiritual influencers around the world in this modern day. Here are some of the people that I feel have the biggest impact on my life and on medicine in general.
Eckhart Tolle
Eckhart Tolle is a modern spirituyal leader that started a movement with his book "The Power of Now", which explores a new age approach to spirituality based on buddhist practices of breathwork, sitting in stillness, and stepping outside of the mind. His work is profound and makes you remember the separation between mind and soul and the interconnectedness of all things in the universe. He has taught me to watch my emotions, not react to them and to go back to the breath when life gets stressful.
Mikao Usui
Mikao Usui, also known as the pioneer of Reiki. Reiki is a Japanese form of medicine that originated in the 1920s by Usui, who was at the top of a mountain for days trying to attain enlightenment. Reiki is also known as "life force energy" and can be channeled through the body to remove blockages and unwanted emoitional baggage. Reiki has been used for generations to heal physical, emotional, and spirituyal ailments.
Alberto Viloldo
Alberto Viloldo is a neuropsychologist and shaman who was one of the first people to bring ancient shamanic wisdom from the Q'ero people of the andes to the western world. His programs involve a healthy balance of the science of shamanism and going back to the ancient wisdom of the south American people.
