Robert Newman, director of Medigrace, worked with Tibetan meditation teachers and doctors for more than 20 years. Since 1997 he has been teaching programs in the medical uses of meditation in West Coast hospitals. He has presented more than 90 training seminars, all with education credits from the California Board of Nursing. His book CALM HEALING Methods for a New Era of Medicine was published by North Atlantic Books in November, 06.
In the training seminars, three healing methods are learned and practiced:
A reclining practice of progressive neuromuscular release, this is the most proven method of mind/body medicine. It enables people to heal various conditions in their nervous systems corresponding to a range of biological and psychophysical disorders. The practice also engages life force at a cellular level
This practice is transformative with respect to both body and breathing. People learn their natural ability to breathe vital energy into the energy body. At the same time they learn to calm the mind, to expose and dispel anxieties and fears, and come to a new sense of body and inner freedom.
This is the most famous healing practice handed down from ancient wisdom. It’s used widely in the healing arts today. It enables people to reverse various disabling conditions by practicing the healing of others In the process, people learn the light nature of their body and the power of compassion.
Currently Medigrace offers a monthly class at Jackson Wellsprings, Ashland, Oregon.
