This authentic discussion emphasizes the imperative evolution of modern healthcare to include an integrative approach that valorizes the wisdom of traditional healing practices, the cultivation of noetic skills, and the personal growth of healthcare providers. It underscores the significance of self-awareness, the exploration of one's true calling ('Swadharma'), and the incorporation of emotional and spiritual education alongside conventional medical training. Stressing the limitations of a system overly focused on metrics, it invites a reevaluation of the connections between emotions like shame and fear, and physical health, highlighting the role of thought and behavior patterns in disease manifestation, particularly in heart health. Dr Chennaiyan persuasively argues for a transformative educational and practical framework that embraces holistic health paradigms, including insights from wisdom traditions such as classical Chinese medicine and tantra, viewing the heart not just as an organ, but as a central nexus of potentiality and healing. It advocates for a future where healthcare transcends empirical metrics, nurturing a space that fosters joy, bliss, and comprehensive well-being.

Get ready for an intriguing and potent conversation as we sit down with the remarkable Lewis Mel Madrona MD PhD. We're talking about a man with a wealth of knowledge in both allopathic and indigenous medicine, making him a fascinating blend of western education and indigenous wisdom. Lewis generously shares his experiences as part of the Wabanaki Public Health and Wellness Group and Acadia Hospital, while also introducing us to his brainchild, the Coyote Institute. Understand the deep symbology behind his choice of the coyote as a totem - a nod to his critique on corporate medicine and neoliberal capitalism, coupled with a healthy dose of humor. Brace yourselves as Lewis also talks about the unique challenges he faced when merging his indigenous healing practices into mainstream medicine.
Our conversation with Lewis takes a deeper plunge into the realm of healing as he shares his journey within Native American healing traditions. Hear about the healers or 'Fixit People,' as the Lakota call them, and how they bring about healing sans labels. With Lewis, we sift through the concept of healing as an activity that involves the entire community and the spiritual growth that is integral to becoming a healer. Get a rare insight into the workings of the Healers Council and the practice of healing camps. To wrap things up, Lewis takes us on an enlightening exploration of the intersections between neuroscience, the default mode network, and both physical and spiritual healing.
