In this episode, Wendy speaks with clinical researcher Peter Wayne about his work on mind-body and movement-based interventions like tai chi. Their conversation covers many topics, including:

• how a background in ecology informs his research; • embracing multiple causes of any outcome; • how to do non-reductionist science; • removing the hyphen from the mind-body system; • harnessing the wisdom of the body through contemplative practice; • the value of first-person narrative in research; • safety and trauma in the body; • the relationship between physical and emotional patterns; • how the concept of the subtle body relates to Western views; • the role of integrative medicine in dealing with climate change; • and bringing together multiple perspectives to investigate the mind & healing.
