         Soft Medicine is medicine practiced with heart, with love tenderness

and even affection. This book is for doctors, healthcare professionals and their

patients who are interested in the softer side of medicine, a medicine that

recognizes us for who and what we really are.

         Deep within is our pure being that has incarnated into this body. This

being is ultra sensitive and is picking up subtle impressions from the

environment through the heart centre of pure feeling even before we come out of

mothers womb. This being has its centre in the cardiac area of the body and the

more closed it is the weaker and more vulnerable a person or child becomes to

illness and disease.

 

         “The heart is a pump and needs to be addressed on a physical level.

However, our hearts are more than just pumps, and a true physician is more than

just a plumber or a mechanic. We also have an emotional heart, a psychological

heart, a spiritual heart,” writes Dr. Dean Omish, Clinical Professor of

Medicine, University of California School of Medicine

         In talking about the heart the first immediate difficulty we face is

the confusion between the physical pump and surrounding nervous system and the

core being which lives within it. The heart has always been known for more than

its capacity to pump blood. It directs and aligns many systems in the body so

that they can function in harmony with one another and both the Chinese and

Ayurvedic medical systems have known this for thousands of years.

         Many medical doctors are practicing without a clue that emotions matter

clinically and thus they neglect how people feel as they battle chronic or

severe life threatening illness. In an age where humane medicine would seem

appropriate it is almost non-existent. More and more medicine has followed the

imperatives of business so sensitive emotionally intelligent health care has

become increasing difficult to find.

Some patients, though conscious that their condition is perilous, recover their

health simply through their contentment with the goodness of the physician.

         There is a large body of evidence from dozens of studies that indicates

that constant anger injures the heart. And many other studies that show that

depression is a stronger more reliable predictor of death than any other medical

sign. People who are under intense emotional stress have death rates two to

three times greater than those who report their lives are calm and placid.

         People are emotionally fragile when sick, and being told you have

cancer or AIDS can completely shatter a person’s emotional world. Daniel Goleman

explains in his book Emotional Intelligence that this is due to the fact that

normally “our mental well-being is based in part on the illusion of

invulnerability.”

         A real understanding of vulnerability teaches us that such a return to

the vulnerable space is necessary and healthy and should be attempted before we

get sick. This is the domain of HeartHealth. Vulnerability is the capacity or

susceptibility to being hurt. It is not a weakness but a capacity that is deeper

than the deepest well. For most people the feeling of being exposed to emotional

hurt, or exposed to being taken advantage/abused relates to feelings of

vulnerability that are to be avoided at all cost. Most people do associate

vulnerability with the feeling of being fragile, weak, or of being susceptible

to emotional pain and suffering.

         This all translates into adding new components into medical treatment

and this is presented in chapters titled Therapeutic Healing Touch and The

Psychology of Touch. Also the Psychology of Listening and other chapters on

communications pave the way for fundamental changes deep within the heart of

medicine for the best listeners are in fact the best doctors. Communication and

listening to others with empathy, understanding, and compassion is the path of

the heart.

Soft Medicine helps practitioners to be good in their

work, to love and demonstrate that love through listening.

         This book is kind of a step down transformer for HeartHealth, a book

that takes people on their own individual inner journey into their own heart. It

is more like a spiritual do it yourself exercise promising hands on experience

with ones own emotions and feelings. Soft Medicine is more about emotional

medicine and understanding softer dynamics in medical practice that includes

consideration for the strong need that all patients have to be touched in

beautiful healing ways.  Soft medicine also introduces soft medicines like

medical marijuana and Ayahuasca to demonstrate how useful non toxic non

poisonous medicines can be in medical practice and psychology.

         HeartHealth is very important in this entire process for to be able to

give heart to ones patients one has to be in touch with ones own heart. It is

the same in all human relationships, in order to receive love one has to give

it. Thus Soft Medicine and HeartHealth both take us as far away from the hard

arrogant corners of the medical mind as we can possibly get.
