Dr. Shamani Jain is a scientist, clinical psychologist, musician, and founder of the Consciousness and Healing Initiative, who wants to bring about a world where our health doesn’t stop and start with a managed care system dominated by the bottom line of pharmaceutical corporations and insurance companies. Her focus is on psychoneuroimmunology and biofield therapies, a catch-all term introduced by the National Institutes of Health to encompass everything from acupuncture to reiki to meditation. Jain’s work has shown that the allopathic pill and surgery based approach to well-being often falls short of its ambitious promises - which would be terribly depressing, if not for the fact that so much of our welfare seems to depend a lot on things that are free - rest, communion with others, and a mindful existence.
