Podcasts about berniesiegelmd

Dr. Bernie Siegel is a best-selling author, lecturer, and founder of Exceptional Cancer Patients. ECaP is a specific form of individual and group therapy, utilizing patients' drawings, dreams, images, and feelings. It is based on “carefrontation,” a safe loving, therapeutic confrontation, which facilitates personal lifestyle changes, personal empowerment, and healing of the individual's life. The physical, spiritual, and psychological benefits that followed, led to his desire to make everyone aware of his or her healing potential. He realized exceptional behavior is what we're all capable of. Bernie, as he prefers to be called, is a retired pediatric general surgeon and leading teacher of the mind-body connection. He has been named one of the Top 20 Spiritually Influential Living People on the Planet by the Watkins Review. His NY Times best seller, Love, Medicine and Miracles, revolutionized the way doctors and patients harnessed the power of the mind to heal. Bernie is also the author of 18 other books including one of my favorites, 365 Prescriptions for the Soul. During our conversation, Bernie shares what led him to start Exceptional Cancer Patients, the questions he asked that helped his patients heal, his #1 advice for someone who wants to avoid or heal from disease, and how he used paintings to learn about his patients' lives.

Gary Interviews the renown Bernie Siegel, MD, New York Times Best Selling Author

In this archived show, originally taped in 1998, Dr. Siegel and I discuss his best-selling book, “Love, Medicine & Miracles,” and the important ways that patients can help themselves in the healing process. We discuss what got him interested in this, and much more.

Leonard Perlmutter (Ram Lev) is the founder of The American Meditation Institute and originator of National Conscience Month. Mr. Perlmutter's first book, The Heart and Science of Yoga® was endorsed by Dean Ornish MD, Dr. Oz, and Bernie Siegel MD. Over the past 26 years, he has served on the faculties of the New England Institute of Ayurvedic Medicine in Boston, Massachusetts and the International Himalayan Yoga Teachers Association in Calgary, Canada. He has taught workshops on the benefits of the conscience, meditation and Yoga Science at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center and more.  Topics Discussed: What, exactly, is the conscience? Why is it so hard to follow its advice? Where does the conscience get its wisdom? What are the “Four Functions of the Mind?” Where does this framework come from? Do you have to believe in God to trust your conscience? What is the law of karma, and why are thoughts so important to it? You say there are only two kinds of thoughts – can you describe them? Does the conscience really always know the difference? What kinds of problems can be solved by relying on the conscience? Can you give us an easy example of an experiment we can try? How about an experiment that might be a little more challenging? What does one-pointed attention mean? Isn't it exhausting to rely on the conscience all the time? But what would you tell someone who wants to let loose and have fun? What does “ahimsa” mean? What is the Bridge of Yoga? Why should people listen to what you are saying? How does meditation fit into all of this? How can people learn more about your teaching? Links: Leonard's Facebook Leonard's LinkedIn Leonard's YouTube

Dr. Siegel, who prefers to be called Bernie, not Dr. Siegel, was born in Brooklyn, NY. He attended Colgate University and Cornell University Medical College. He holds membership in two scholastic honor societies, Phi Beta Kappa and Alpha Omega Alpha and graduated with honors. His surgical training took place at Yale New Haven Hospital, West Haven Veteran’s Hospital and the Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh. He retired from practice as an assistant clinical professor of surgery at Yale of general and pediatric surgery in 1989 to speak to patients and their caregivers. In 1978, he originated Exceptional Cancer Patients, a specific form of individual and group therapy utilizing patients’ drawings, dreams, images and feelings. ECaP is based on “carefrontation,” a safe, loving therapeutic confrontation, which facilitates personal lifestyle changes, personal empowerment and healing of the individual’s life. The physical, spiritual and psychological benefits which followed led to his desire to make everyone aware of his or her healing potential. He realized exceptional behavior is what we are all capable of. Bernie, and his wife and coworker Bobbie, who died in 2018, lived in a suburb of New Haven, Connecticut. They have five children and eight grandchildren. Bernie and Bobbie have co-authored their children, books and articles. Their home with its many children, pets and interests resembled a cross between a family art gallery, museum, zoo and automobile repair shop. It still resembles these things, although the children are trying to improve its appearance in order to avoid embarrassment. In 1986 his first book, Love. Medicine & Miracles was published. This event redirected his life. In 1989 Peace, Love & Healing and in 1993 How To Live Between Office Visits followed. He is currently working on other books with the goal of humanizing medical education and medical care, as well as, empowering patients and teaching survival behavior to enhance immune system competency. Bernie’s realization that we all need help dealing with the difficulties of life, not just the physical ones, led to Bernie writing his fourth book in 1998 Prescriptions for Living. It helps people to become aware of the eternal truths and wisdom of the sages through Bernie’s stories and insights rather than wait a personal disaster. He wants to help people fix their lives before they are broken, and thus not have to become strong at the broken places. Published in 2003 are Help Me To Heal to empower patients and their caregivers and 365 Prescriptions For The Soul, in 2004 a children’s book about how difficulties can become blessings, Smudge Bunny, in 2005 101 Exercises For The Soul and out in the Fall of 2006 a prescriptions for parenting book Love, Magic & Mud Pies. Published in 2008 Buddy’s Candle, for children of all ages, related to dealing with the loss of a loved one, be it a pet or parent, and published in 2009 Faith, Hope & Healing with inspiring survivor stories and my reflections about what they teach us. Also out is Words Swords, my poetry and chance to write and react with your own. In the Fall of 2011 A Book of Miracles was published with amazing stories and my comments. In September 2013 my latest book The Art of Healing was published containing 60 drawings by patients and what they reveal.. Out in November of 2015 Love, Animals & Miracles containing heartwarming inspiring and informative stories about life.

"The future is unconsciously created long in advance." - Carl Jung Dr. Bernie Siegel, author of several books, Love, Medicine and Miracles was the initial best seller. In his first book of fiction, Three Men, Six Lives, one of the characters was developed from his own past life memories. We talked about some of his life experiences and how that includes an uptick in paranormal encounters since the death of his wife. He says he feels her as a constant presence. The stories Bernie shares from his patients and his own life are proof that, while we don't have all the answers for why some people heal and others don't, we do have proof that miracles can happen. Bernie continues to write and he also offers insight with Q & A on his website, BernieSiegelMD.com. On a related topic, Bernie's mention of Jung might be serendipitous of Jung's prophetic visions. Jung’s gravest warning came on his deathbed. On May 30, 1961, eight days before he died, Jung dictated to his daughter his last visions, with instructions that the notes were to be given to Marie-Louise von Franz. The images were sobering: “I see enormous stretches devastated, enormous stretches of the earth. But thank God, not the whole planet.” And Jung made a drawing, with a caption under it that said, “The last 50 years of humanity.”

Timeless wisdom flows from the mouths of Bernie's characters in this important and entertaining book. Concepts of spiritual psychotherapy, past lives, and the fearless courage born of unconditional love and awakened consciousness are carefully explored. I highly recommend Three Men, Six Lives to you. - Brian L. Weiss, MD NY Times Best Selling Author of Many Lives, Many Masters via Amazon.

Listen to this podcast for amazing stories of healing through love, raising one's vibration, energy medicine, connecting to your feelings and desires, following one's heart, living authentically and with meaning, giving your troubles to your higher power, laughter, and other methods. This is a truly inspiring message from 2 traditionally trained medical professionals that is anything but traditional. 4:27 the diagnosis helps the doctor but it doesn't help the patient. Doctors need to know the patient's story and then treatment can begin. 5:32 My patients told me they feel better in my office but they said they need to know how to live in between office visits. I saw over and over that if you help people live their body got the message and it changed things. 7:35 So he says to people to pay attention to your feelings and let your heart make up your mind and then a lot of wonderful things happen. 7:79 I don't want people to fight a war with cancer because then you empower your enemy. 9:11 I asked a woman who healed a large tumor from pancreatic cancer how she did it and she said “I left my troubles to God” Wouldn't that be a nice way for everybody to be cured? And how peaceful you'd feel if every morning you got up and said, God today I'm not gonna get upset. I'm not gonna worry.” That's why I started cancer support groups. 12:55 Those who have meaning in their life, ask for help, help others, laugh etc do well. 29:17 I think people need to understand it's okay to say no, it's okay to ask for favors, and have some meaning in your life. 29:26 Monday morning we have more heart attacks, strokes, suicides, and illnesses. No it ain't Monday, it's the people and how they feel because again that's one of the first things in the immunocompetent personality. Do you have a sense of meaning in daily activity and support? So if getting up on Monday and it is your way of contributing to the world and people it's not a threat, but if its “Oh damn it it's Monday I have to go to work" you are better off getting sick, then you don't have to go. 30:54 Crystals, essential oils, plant medicine, getting back to nature, realigning with the cycles of nature and what we're putting into our bodies and whether it's raising or lowering our vibration is really so important. And it all comes back to that self-love. 31:21 Love heals. Love is vibrational positive thoughts and removing that negative from your environment and your physical. It is so important. 31:49 Those who fought the cancer and made it a negative were not as successful as those who accepted it because it's a part of you. You're now dis-eased. Your body is imbalanced so the cancer takes over and it's part of you, so you actually need to love the cancer and the message that you're getting so that you can heal from it. Why did you get the cancer? 34:45 The mind, the body, and the spirit. That connection needs to be whole and working for true healing 35:04 If you're not addressing the mental piece of the thoughts that gave you the cancer or that spiritual piece because you're not connecting with your true self then the healing process is slowed or it's non-existent so that connection is important and it has to come from your heart. 40:42 Becoming mindful, meditating, doing those types of practices like yoga, but finding the one that works for you, that resonate with you. I truly believe in the power of Reiki and energy healing in all different ways, and that Reiki can really get into the subconscious. It can heal the spirit, it can heal your mind, and some of those mental patterns and the physical as well with chronic pain and some of those symptoms that you're getting. 53:27 Jesus said, " It is done unto you as you believe." 57:01 Instead of calling it spontaneous healing, why don't we say "what the hell did you do to get better?" 58:19 Lose the untrue self and you'll get a gift. Your body will know how you feel and will do everything it can to keep you going. You need help, ask. Don't use the disease as a way of getting attention. 62:23 If you had 15 minutes to live what would you do? 62:49 What's your chocolate ice cream in life? Go live your chocolate ice cream and what a wonderful life you can then have. 63:55 365 Bernie's book: Prescriptions For the Soul Dr Bernie Siegel's website: www.BernieSiegelMD.com Kerry Hardy's website: www.HolisticHeavenWellness.com

  Dr. Siegel, who prefers to be called Bernie, was born in Brooklyn, NY. For many, Bernie needs no introduction. He has touched many lives all over our planet. In 1978 he originated Exceptional Cancer Patients, a specific form of individual and group therapy utilizing patients’ drawings, dreams, images and feelings. ECaP is based on “carefrontation,” a safe, loving therapeutic confrontation, which facilitates personal lifestyle changes, personal empowerment and healing of the individual’s life. The physical, spiritual and psychological benefits which followed led to his desire to make everyone aware of his or her healing potential. He realized exceptional behavior is what we are all capable of. In 1986 his first book, Love. Medicine & Miracles was published. This event redirected his life. Bernie’s realization that we all need help dealing with the difficulties of life, not just the physical ones, led to Bernie writing his fourth book in 1998 Prescriptions for Living. Bernie has been named one of the top 20 Spiritually Influential Living People on the Planet by the Watkins Review. For more details go to www.BernieSiegelMD.com (http://berniesiegelmd.com/) . Bernie, and his wife and coworker Bobbie, live in a suburb of New Haven, Connecticut. They have five children and eight grandchildren. Bernie and Bobbie have co-authored their children, books and articles. Their home with its many children, pets and interests resembled a cross between a family art gallery, museum, zoo and automobile repair shop. It still resembles these things, although the children are trying to improve its appearance in order to avoid embarrassment. Before I even got to ask Bernie my first question, we received all of these gems: Bernie encourages you to embarrass your children regularly. In marriage you are not giving to the other person, you are giving to the relationship. It is 1 + 1 = 3. The third entity is the relationship. You won’t believe what happened when Bernie asked a class of medical students to draw themselves as a doctor. We all need to be trained to enjoy people. One of Bernie’s sons owned a Subway franchise and Bernie asked to work for him because he loved people. Imagine being asked “How would you introduce yourself to God?” by the guy making your sandwich at Subway. Become a Love Warrior. If you want to improve your partnerships and relationships, say “I love you” to your partner everyday for 3 months. At the end of 3 months skip a day and see what you hear from the other person. Guiding Principle, Quote or Mantra Focus on being grateful for what you have and what you can do with it. The Ice Bucket Experiment Put your hand in a bucket of ice and time how long you can keep it there. Then refill the bucket. Gather your family and pets around you and put your hand back in the ice. Watch how much longer you can keep it there. Why? Because you are surrounded by people who love and care for you. And it changes you and what you are capable of achieving. It literally changes your chemistry.

Dr. Bernie Siegel- Author: The Art of Healing: Uncovering Your Inner Wisdom and Potential for Self-Healing......... Should we be afraid of dying? Is there anyone unafraid of death? How do we live, really live, and let go of these fears? Website: www.BernieSiegelmd.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bernie.siegel.75 Twitter: https://twitter.com/berniesiegelmd

Dr. Bernie Siegel is the author of The Art of Healing: Uncovering Your Inner Wisdom and Potential for Self-Healing. Bernie retired from general and pediatric surgical practice in 1989, and has since dedicated himself to humanizing the medical establishment's approach to patients, and to empowering patients to induce their own healing. After studying the use of crayon drawings by patients faceing life-threatening diseases, Bernie founded Exceptional Cancer Patients to facilitate self-induced healings. Bernie realized that we can aid our bodies' innate propensity to heal through what are currently seen as uncoventional practices, including drawing, visualization, dreams, love, and laughter.
