Description


In this episode, Wendy speaks with biocultural anthropologist and Tibetan medical doctor Tawni Tidwell. Tawni's research focuses on living—and dying—with greater awareness and well-being, and integrates multiple biological and cultural perspectives on mind-body systems. This conversation covers many topics, including:




  • merging interests in biology, culture, ecology, nature, and medicine;


  • how our minds shape our bodies;


  • the holistic approach of Tibetan medicine;


  • understanding constitutions and individual proclivities;


  • the subtle body and consciousness;


  • studying monastics who are able to extend the death process (Tukdam project);


  • implications for life, death, and the nature of consciousness;


  • individual differences and determining which practices might be best for someone;


  • studying Tibetan medicine's approach to treating COVID;


  • and coming back to our bodies, our communities, and our environments.
