Harnessing and Strengthening Our Physical and

Spiritual Interconnections: Finding Peace and Health During Isolation with Dr. Shamini Jain and Dr. Jim Bentz By Ainsley Schoppel Today’s world is one that is somewhat unrecognizable to most individuals, businesses, families, and societies. In the blink of an eye, our predictable stability shifted, and we have all had to adapt in unique and varying ways to this new and separate way of living. We know that well-being builds and boosts immunity, so how are we to cope with this sudden influx of stress? How can we shift our mindset, and in turn, our biology, to avoid the short-term pitfalls of selfish actions and reactions? How are we supposed to continue or adopt a mind-body-spirit practice when our daily responsibilities constantly surround us? Dr. Shamini Jain and Dr. Jim Bentz answer the call for help and give us concrete explanations as to what is happening inside and outside of our beings and offer ways that we can help ourselves and others to strengthen health and bolster happiness. Dr. Jim Bentz is the top practitioner and trainer for Neurological Integration System (NIS) in the United States, teaching healthcare practitioners the principles of Functional Neurology. Dr. Bentz has utilized NIS—a system that incorporates ancient eastern medicine practices with current neuroscience to promote self-healing through the detection and correction of signaling disruption in the nervous system—as his primary modality since 1997. And as a clinical psychologist, scientist, and founder and CEO of the Consciousness and Healing Initiative (CHI)—a non-profit collaborative accelerator that connects scientists, health practitioners, innovators, and social entrepreneurs to advance the science and practice of healing—Dr. Shamini Jain is on the forefront of a necessary revolution in science, medicine, and healing. She also serves as an Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at the University of California, San Diego, and was trained in neuroscience at Columbia University and in clinical psychology and psychoneuroimmunology at UC San Diego.
