Jan B. Newman, M.D.

Walking the Razor’s Edge Each of us takes a spiritual journey from the cradle to the grave. Many now are actively seeking God, meaning and purpose through formal and self-styled religious practices. Neuro and biofeedback tap into and may initiate the same psychophysiological states as spiritual practice. The sages of old tell us this journey is not without risk. This talk will briefly explore the common elements of all spiritual paths and what is now known about the neurophysiological and physiological footprints of those paths. It will cover the life, mind and soul threatening complications that can happen as we journey inward and how to avoid them. This should enable us to better use these tools for therapeutic intervention.
