SUMMARY:Meditation & Medicine: Exploring the Vital Role of Contemplati
 ve Disciplines  in Mind-Body/Integral Medicine & Healing Arts
DESCRIPTION:Open to Physicians, Nurses, Naturopaths, and other Health-
 Caring Professionals.Available for Credit and for CME (pending)\n\nThi
 s seminar serves as an introduction to the use of contemplative practi
 ces in clinical practice and in the self-development of the practition
 er. It is a prerequisite for further training in clinical applications
  of contemplative practices at Bastyr. We begin with an introduction t
 o five main categories of contemplative practice theory and execution.
  Discussion on current neurobiology regarding human neural development
  will address neuroplasticity throughout the life span, correlation of
  mindfulness practices with immune status and mental health, and the n
 eurobiology of ordinary and extraordinary health. Presentation of curr
 ent research on the effect of meditation and somatic practices on meas
 urable health outcomes is also included. Implications and discussion o
 f practical clinical applications will follow.This highly experiential
  course will include presentations, small group work, dialogue and dee
 p reflection, mindfulness exercises and other contemplative practices.
