Inner Work 128: Going beyond the limits of conventional medicine to heal the whole self w/ Dr. Lissa Rankin

Mar 22, 2022

My guest for this episode is Dr. Lissa Rankin, a healer, author, mystic, and activist committed to healing the landscape of healthcare. In this interview, we reflect on deep questions including: 

• When it comes to healing from illness and injury, how is it that some people do everything right and stay sick, while others fully recover?
• How does faith healing work - or does it?
• Can we make ourselves more miracle-prone to faciliate healing and recovery?
• Why do some healers and doctors abuse their power, and how does a healer's personal qualities factor into the healing process?

 

In her new book, Sacred Medicine: A Doctor's Quest to Unravel the Mysteries of Healing, Dr. Rankin shares her seven-year journey to answer such questions, from pilgrimage spots to holy mountains, from faith healers to prayer circles, as well as her conversations with healing and trauma experts including Dr. Gabor Mate, Donna Eden, and Richard Schwartz. In her book, Dr. Rankin shares the wisdom and practical healing tools learned from energy healers, Indigenous spiritual leaders, and cutting-edge psychotherapies.
