Mind-Body Medicine

What is Mind-Body Medicine?

• Mind-Body Medicine is an approach that sees the mind (our thoughts and emotions) as having a central impact on the health of our body.
• Mind-body skills taught here include mindfulness, yoga, relaxation, and positive psychology techniques. These skills have no negative side-effects and are an excellent complement to traditional medical care

Some of the proven benefits of practicing mind-body skills on a regular basis include: 

• Nervous system balance and resiliency
• Anger management
• Improved focus and attention
• Enhanced positive emotions, mood, perception of life
• Improved immunity
• Lower blood pressure
• And the list continues

The Mind-Body Medicine Program is part of our Integrated Health Service in General Internal Medicine and the Warrior Clinic.
