Embodying the Four Inmeasurables: A Biocognitive Approach to Buddhism
In this presentation Dr. Mario Martinez teaches how to apply Western mind-body science to Buddhist concepts of the exalted emotions. Based on how thoughts and emotions affect the immune system, Biocognition offers an added dimension to address the fear-based emotions that can block health benefits of the Four Immeasurables; the paradox of humbleness; and other Buddhist contemplative principles.
Dr. Martinez is a licensed clinical psychologist and the founder of Biocognitive Science. He is the author of the psychological novel The Man from Autumn (Llumina Press) and the CD learning series The Mind-Body Code (Sounds True). Because of his specialty in how cultural and spiritual beliefs affect the immune system, he has been a consultant for the BBC, National Geographic, the Catholic Church, and Buddhist monks.
