Help themselves and their patients reduce conditioned habits of negative thinking and other symptoms of burnout through the healing powers of AMI?MEDITATION and mantra science; 11. Use Chakra Psychology (subtle emotional/mental causes of stress) to assist in diagnosing and treating dis-ease; 12. Recognize how AMI?MEDITATION and meditation-in-action change neural pathways in the brain to help manage pain and increase creativity; 13.
