A Transdisciplinary Approach of the Role of Consciousness and Spirituality in Physics and Healing

This paper argues for the role of consciousness and spirituality in physics and healing, proposing that altered, modified, and amplified states of consciousness (A/M/ASC) and morphogenic fields may explain phenomena like spontaneous healing. It discusses classical healing methods, including Chinese medicine's therapeutic effectiveness, and references the case of Sister Bernardette Moriau's unexplained recovery. The concept of the biofield is linked to a new healing paradigm within integrative medicine, suggesting that transdisciplinary research can shift healing practice beyond conventional medicine's explanations.

Abstract

Transdisciplinary research represents a paradigm shift in healing practice. This paper deepens the theme of the article, titled “The usefulness of integrative medicine in contemporary society”, that was published in Transdisciplinary Journal of Engineering&Science (TJES). Thus, this paper aims to highlight the role of consciousness and spirituality in physics and healing. Therefore, some classical healing methods are discussed, including the therapeutic effectiveness of Chinese medicine in alleviating the symptoms of some diseases. Also, we refer to some contemporary healing methods and relate them to the “spontaneous healing” experienced by Sister Bernardette Moriau, a phenomenon for which conventional medicine offers no explanation. In this regard, morphogenic fields have been described as a possible mechanism that might explain the efficiency of Chinese medicine. Also, the altered, modified and amplified states of consciousness (A/M/ASC) are described in detail as a potential explanation for the occurrence of “spontaneous healing”. Finally, the concept of biofield was related with the new healing paradigm proposed by the integrative medicine model.
