Moving Toward Wholeness

Coming home to the only place that truly belongs to you—your bodymind—and reconnecting with your core self is a practice moving us toward wholeness. Wholeness is the path of integrity and a gateway to radiant vitality, inner ease, and fulfilment. It is a worthwhile journey that requires curiosity, resourcefulness, courage, and good portion of humour. 

Feel It

Trauma, stress, confusion, and uncertainty greatly impact our lives. While we may not always be able to control the causes that give rise to them, we have the possibility to reshape our habitual, reflexive responses in order to modulate and reduce the adverse effects they have on our body, emotions, mind, and behavior.

There is a dynamic dialogue between our nervous system and our cells. Listening to and engaging in this dialogue can reveal blockages causing us distress. With slight shifts in awareness, this listening can yield increased vitality, freedom, and comfort.

Learn to discover innate pathways of ease and clarity. When these pathways are embodied, our discomfort, fear, and pain can transform into an inner realization of strength and calm and a fresh understanding of our potential for a change of consciousness.

There are multiple ways of experiencing deeper inner clarity; creating a calmer, integrated, and balanced sense of self; and responding to others from an engaged and grounded place.

• Initiate positive, proactive responses to stressful situations

• Meet new challenges with calmness and clarity

• Understand how patterns are integrated emotionally and physically

• Recognize nonverbal patterns when communicating with others

• Develop and embody patterns of ease

Knowledge Matters:The Microbiome

The Steep Costs of Disrupting

Gut-Barrier Harmony

From Ayurveda to the teachings of Hippocrates, medicine's earliest traditions advanced a belief that the gut was the foundation of all health and disease. It wasn't until recently, however, that Western medicine has adopted the notion of gut-barrier dysfunction as a pathologic phenomenon critical to not only digestive health but also chronic allergic, inflammatory, and autoimmune disease.

The Microbiome: It's What's Inside That Counts

The microbiome is the constellation of microscopic organisms that call the human body home, and its clinical implications are becoming increasingly clear to physicians.

This video examines how the trillions of microorganisms that live on and inside our bodies may hold the key to preventing and even treating a host of conditions, ranging from gastrointestinal illnesses to metabolic and neuropsychiatric disorders to cancer.

Where is the "Microbiome Revolution" Headed Next?

Human microbiome research has progressed in leaps and bounds over the past decades, from pivotal studies begun in the 1970s to the launch of the Human Microbiome Project in 2007. Breakthroughs have laid the groundwork for more recent clinical applications, such as fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT), and advanced techniques to explore new therapeutic pathways. Yet the "microbiome revolution" is just getting started, according to professor Martin J. Blaser, MD, one of the field's pioneers.
