Description
Often referred to as “The Father of Mind-Body Medicine,” Emmett Miller, MD, is best known for his recorded Guided Imagery Meditations. His revolutionary work in creating the holistic approach to healing and the first Guided Imagery audiotapes in the 1970s placed him decades ahead of mainstream medicine and psychology, where he continues to generate new insights, breakthroughs, and products.
After graduating from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine (1967), he quickly realized that, in many ways, mainstream medicine was missing the boat. To this young physician, it seemed clear that most of our illnesses were caused or exacerbated by stress, stress-induced habits, and addictions. Unaware of this, physicians and psychologists were failing their patients by not teaching them to use the power of their minds to heal, eliminate addictive behaviors, and take charge of their lives.
Because he was a mathematician who had studied computer programming, he was one of the first physicians capable of realizing that the mind/brain is actually a bio-computer. It perceives, reasons, and experiences emotions according to the algorithms programmed into it, usually without our knowledge or consent, especially in childhood. He then proved that certain states of consciousness, such as deep relaxation, hypnosis, meditation, and profound prayer, are really programming states for the mind/brain.
His next step was to develop patterns of mental images that would quickly result in desensitization, reprocessing, reprogramming, and literally rewiring the brain (via neuroplasticity and creating your own future.)
His first Guided Imagery recordings spread knowledge of his techniques worldwide in the 1970’s and 80’s, as he and a few colleagues worked to transform the fields of medicine and psychology. The notion of writing new scripts for the mind/brain (cognitive behavior therapy) is, at last, much more accepted in today’s world.
Dr. Miller has served as a lecturer or preceptor at many universities and medical schools, including the University of California and Stanford Medical School. His book, Deep Healing – the Essence of Mind-Body Medicine has become a classic in the field.
He has also trained many classes of health professionals and consulted with numerous companies and health care organizations.
Since the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Miller has continued to work with patients and clients by Zoom and telephone, publish new applications of his “Software for the Mind,” and produce regular free Guided Imagery Meditation webinars.
Many people, including Olympic and professional athletes, as well as musicians, entertainers, students and businesspeople, discovered having maximize performance by using his Mental Image Rehearsal technique. They have found his meditation series a godsend.
His patients and clients continue to appreciate Dr. Miller for his warmth, gentleness, wisdom, experience, and of course, the magic of his recorded voice.
