About the presentation

Dr. Leskowitz of Harvard Medical School shares his experiences with energy medicine, and his thoughts on the future of healthcare. Drawing on decades of experience integrating meditation, hypnosis, and energy psychology into pain management, Dr. Leskowitz will help us understand the emerging science of the biofield and its potential to transform clinical care.

What you'll take away

A view into a second anatomy. The biofield, meridians, and energy centers — laid alongside the Gray’s Anatomy view with a simple analogy for how the same underlying system can appear in different forms.

Why good evidence gets ignored. Mesmer run out of Paris, Wilhelm Reich dying in prison, a PTSD trial with striking results that changed nothing. An honest look at how medicine handles findings that don’t fit the model.

An understanding of energy between people. Group coherence measured in a lab and what it might mean for team chemistry and the doctor-patient relationship. Including the moment Dr. Leskowitz was blindfolded and wired up as the test subject himself.

What a phantom limb revealed. Dr. Leskowitz describes treating an amputee who could feel him working with a leg that was no longer there — and then felt his pain begin to drain through it. The experience led Leskowitz to question whether nerves and neuroplasticity alone could explain phantom limb pain.
