Modern Western medicine was founded on the reductionist philosophies that treat a person as a quantifiable diagnosis. The consciousness movement that incorporates holism and systems theory has produced new ecological models of health and illness. The energy matrix of the body, the basis of healing in Eastern medicine for millennia, is explored, and its new applications in complementary medicine. The course explores holistic models of health and illness emphasizing energetic systems and their physical, immune, psycho-emotional, and spiritual effects on the whole person.
