My Philosophies

Mission Statement: My mission is to bridge gaps and to be truly helpful.

Bridging Gaps

Several years ago during a meditation, I found myself face-to-face with my mission in this life. I realized that, as an osteopathic physician and teacher, I was placed on this planet to bridge gaps between many different things. These included:

    My self and my Creator
    Heaven and Earth
    My self and my Family (of origin, personal, and global family)
    Body, Mind, and Spirit
    Spirituality and Healing
    Consciousness and Healing
    Heart and Healing
    Ego consciousness and Divine Consciousness
    Western and Eastern consciousness
    Western and Eastern spiritual philosophies
    Medicine and Healing
    Medicine and Personal Transformation
    Matter and Energy
    Curing and Healing
    Physical and Energetic forms of Healing
    Conventional and Alternative paradigms of Healing
    Conventional Medicine and Complementary/Alternative Medicine (CAM)
    Osteopathy and Osteopathic Medicine
    Osteopathic Medicine and CAM
    Osteopathic and Allopathic Medicine
    Osteopathic Medicine and Oriental Medicine (acupuncture)
    Student and Teacher
    Left- and Right-brain activities (Linear and creative)
    and others

Being Truly Helpful

Many people have not defined their mission or purpose in life. This often creates much angst, lack of peace, and even health difficulties. It has been said, "Our only purpose...is to be truly helpful."

This statement resonates in my soul. I am fortunate to have found my way into a profession of help and healing. It is very rewarding to be of any type of help to my brothers and sisters.
I believe in the Golden Rules: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." and, "Love your brother as yourself.

I believe that if we all lived by these two simple rules, our world would be one of peace and harmony. I believe that the greatest barriers to following these rules are our own personal lack of love for ourselves and lack of self-esteem. These issues need to be healed in all of us.

I am strong proponent of the principles set down in A Course in Miracles. I have had several opportunities to experience this intensive on personal growth and spiritual transformation from both a student and facilitator perspective. I have seen it literally work MIRACLES in both my life and in the lives of many patients and friends.
