Mind-body dynamics
Experts tend to study either the body or the mind but, for me, all the interesting ‘stuff’ happens where these interact.
My fascination with the interaction between physiology and behaviour began over 40 years ago with academic research but since evolved into a life-long study of traditional practices of health maintenance.
Today, with the exciting emergence of systems biology, the previously incompatible approaches of reductionist science and holistic practice are beginning to integrate. There is still a long way to go before scientists fully understand how the body or mind work (let alone how they interact) but at least now the process of exploring wholeness has begun.
