The Mission and Maxims of Full Spectrum Medicine
What does it mean to create the blueprint
for the psychiatric renaissance?
Maxims
- Self-healing is an inherent ability represented in all life
- The process of healing is ever unfolding and evolving from birth to death as an avenue for personal development and self-mastery
- Symptoms are simply a signal that underlying homeostatic mechanisms in the body-mind-heart-soul complex are sub-optimally functioning and repair mechanisms are overloaded
- Giving the correct healing stimulus at the right time for a given individual’s needs, stimulates the inherent life force to be revitalized and promote self-healing
- Once given the current available, unbiased information and support, a person shall be empowered to choose their own direction and methods of healing
- Crisis is an opportunity and fuel for personal healing and growth
- The modern medical model is flawed in design and delivery, thus opening the way for an emergent healthcare system of greater potential, especially in the field of mental health
- Most medical illnesses today are an extension of modern society, thus warranting a paradigm shift in how we live as a culture — stress is the #1 cause of chronic disease and depression is the #1 cause of disability worldwide
- The soul is the earliest and most intimate part of the self and can be revealed through transpersonal experiences, and when revealed, brings a person clarity for their own unique path of healing toward harmony, vitality and fulfillment
- Therapeutic use of the entheogenic medicines supports the transcendent experience and has been clinically validated to address the areas where modern-day psychiatry is significantly limited: addiction recovery, chronic depression and anxiety, post-traumatic stress and end-of-life transitions
