BIOCOGNITION AND THE PATH TO WELLNESS: HOW THE MIND CAN HEAL THE BODY


Mario E. Martinez, Psy.D.

Belief systems are culturally shaped interpretations of our private journey. Although what we believed in the past may no longer serve us well in the present, during stressful events, there is a tendency to confirm the known, rather than to profit from our evolving internal wisdom.
Western healing sciences have concentrated on studying pathological processes and destructive emotions, while ignoring the more evolved biocognitive states like magnanimous love, empathic leaps and inclusive compassion. Recent work in psychoneuroimmunology suggests the immune system is enhanced by these evolved mind-body expressions, and is negatively affected by fear-based beliefs and emotions. Participants will learn to identify and change the biocognitions that maintain fear and suppress joy, as well as how to infuse healing biocognitions to mindsets that have been conditioned to pay attention only when health fails.

Dr. Martinez is a clinical psychologist who lectures worldwide on his theory of Biocognition (how cultural beliefs affect health and longevity. He specializes in psychoneuroimmunology and has published numerous professional articles on biocognition. In his new psychological novel “The Man from Autumn”, he explores how modern cognitive science and Christian mystical theology can converge to address stigmata as well as psycho-spiritual conflicts that mimic psychiatric disorders. Dr. Martinez has investigated cases of alleged stigmata for the Catholic Church.
