The New Frontier of Healing: Human Biofields, Energy Healing & Integrative Health with Dr. Shamini Jain

In this 50th episode and in celebration of our new podcast name, we host Dr. Shamini Jain, an eminent clinical psychologist and scientist, as she guides us through the revolutionary paradigm shift in holistic wellness and alternative medicine. Author of the award-winning book Healing Ourselves: Biofield Science and the Future of Health (2021), Dr. Jain is also founder and CEO of the Consciousness and Healing Initiative (CHI), a collaborative accelerator that forwards the science and practice of healing. Join us as we delve into the emerging field of biofield science and its profound implications for wellbeing. Dr. Jain explains how biofield science bridges the language of modern medicine and traditional healing systems through overlapping concepts like qi, prana, bioelectricity and cellular membrane potential. Furthermore, we learn how investigating the biofield requires studying molecular biology, energy healing modalities, distance healing and consciousness. Our conversation takes a personal turn as Shamini recounts her powerful early encounters with a Reiki healer which led her to study the emerging field of psychoneuroimmunology. She shares the emotional and physical revelations that led her to a deeper understanding of vibrational healing, energy work and sound therapy. She also discusses the fascinating subject of distant healing and the scientific breakthroughs by researchers Dean Radin and Marilyn Schlitz, exploring how our interconnectedness can transcend time and space. We learn more about the incredible work being done by CHI, and the cultural shift towards a more inclusive view of health. This episode emphasizes the importance of grassroots movements in driving change and the power of collective efforts to shape a future of integrative health. Tune in for an empowering discussion that bridges science and spirituality, offering a fresh perspective on what it means to truly heal.
