What is Yoga Science?

The American Meditation Institute is a 501(c)3 non-profit educational organization devoted to providing comprehensive training in Yoga Science—the world’s oldest holistic mind/body medicine and the core principle of every spiritual tradition. Yoga is the sacred science that provides proven benefits by facilitating the union of the superconscious mind with the physical, mental and emotional elements of everyday life. Founded in 1996 by Leonard and Jenness Perlmutter, AMI combines ancient Eastern wisdom and modern Western science in a practical, empowering curriculum. The foundation course of this curriculum is AMI MEDITATION.

The #MeToo movement has revealed sexual harassment at work and a sharp divide on gender equality. But the returning influence of feminine intuitive wisdom in our culture is nothing to fear or resent, according to Leonard Perlmutter, philosopher, author and founder of AMI.

"Remember that all human beings possess both male and female qualities. At birth, one quality generally predominates, but its complementary quality remains present in every life. Because the male principle manifests as action in the world, men have easily embraced the role of hunter/gatherer in society. Similarly, because women are the birth-givers and nurturers for the species, our survival requires them to be inwardly directed and intuitive. Nevertheless, men possess both male and female qualities, just as women possess both female and male qualities. Successful lives and societies flourish when both genders can first access feminine intuitive wisdom, and then skillfully employ that wisdom through the male principle as action in the world. As the Gospel of Thomas states, 'When you make the male and female one--so that the male is no longer just male, and the female is no longer just female . . . then you will enter the Kingdom." -- Leonard Perlmutter (Ram Lev)

How can we become an effective agent of change? As we struggle to make the best choices and direct our creative energies toward positive change, we must first pause and acknowledge that our unexamined and unconscious preconceptions are going to distort our perceptions.

In everyday life none of us really sees circumstances as they truly are. Instead, we experience a projection of our own mental concepts. As first century Greek philosopher Epictetus said, "We are not disturbed by things, but rather by the views we hold of them." In fact, Shakespeare went so far as to claim that, "There is nothing either good or bad, only thinking makes it so."

The practice of AMI MEDITATION helps us gain clarity of vision so we can make choices that are aligned with our inner wisdom. Employing this inner wisdom enables us to find meaningful solutions to the perplexing issues of our times.

Find out more about AMI MEDITATION and how it can help you serve as the compassionate instrument of change you have longed for in the world. Go to goo.gl/KaN4ig

Nationally, physician burnout has reached crisis proportions. The American Medical Association and the Mayo Clinic recently conducted a study to determine how physician burnout differs from burnout in the general working population. The study, published in Mayo Clinic Proceedings, found that compared with the general U.S. population, physicians worked a median of 10 hours more per week, displayed higher rates of emotional exhaustion and reported lower satisfaction with work-life balance. Though the general population does experience burnout, the changing state of the health care system is clearly driving the dramatic increases in physician burnout.
In today’s health care model, physicians are called upon to deliver an optimal patient experience and provide the highest quality care, all while facing increasing productivity and documentation demands. These requirements often lead to anxiety, fatigue, burnout, and depression.
