Body of Wonder - The Power of Compassion with Sensei Koshin Paley Ellison

In this thought-provoking conversation we explore the impact of compassion on health and spiritual wellbeing.

Our guest today is Sensei Koshin Paley Ellison, Zen teacher, Jungian psychotherapist, and author, who brings a wealth of knowledge and personal experience to our discussion.

Dr. Andrew Weil and Dr. Victoria Maizes discuss the impact of compassionate care with Sensei Ellison. Through Buddhist koans (traditional stories), meditative practices, and inspiring personal stories, he shares how compassion can transform patients' and their families' lives.

In this conversation, we discuss the broader societal benefits of compassionate care, such as fostering a culture of empathy and improving quality of life.

Weil, Maizes, and Ellison also highlight the challenges that healthcare providers often face in providing compassionate care, such as burnout and meeting the demands of our modern healthcare system.

In this episode, we gain practical insights into how to develop an empathic and healing approach to our struggles and those around us.

Body of Wonder is hosted by Dr. Victoria Maizes and Dr. Weil and produced by the Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona. View other Body of Wonder episodes here: https://azcim.org/podcast
