Course Description

                              Your mind as consciousness creates your reality, and when you know how to effectively work with all of its parts, you can do some very powerful and amazing things, like heal your body or intuit something you could not have logically known. 

                        This course is designed to take you on a journey of mind-body mastery starting with the basics of mindfulness and meditation, and then advancing to working with your subconscious mind to facilitate healing. I've included some of the latest mind-body research blended with spirituality to help you understand the power of your mind. 

                        In this course you will learn: 

  • The fascinating science that proves why mind-body medicine is so powerful.

  • Simple techniques and processes for beginning and maintaining a mindfulness and meditation practice.

  • Easy mind-body techniques to quickly and effectively relax and turn off your stress response.

  • Simple mindfulness techniques for healthier eating.

  • How to maximize present moment awareness to magnify creativity and manifestation.

  • How to effectively change your perception so that you experience less stress.

  • How to use heart-centered meditation techniques packed with the power of love to literally heal your body and mind.

  • How to use a heart-centered meditation to diffuse any negative emotion.

  • How to maximize your intuition through meditation and the science behind it.

  • How to use brainwave entrainment technology to deepen your meditative states.

  • How to uncover limiting beliefs stuck in your subconscious, and use a specific guided meditation technique to permanently remove them.

  • The effective use of core positive affirmations, and how to bypass any mental blocks around them.

  • Basic Functional Medicine concepts for building a strong body and mind.

  • Functional Medicine nutritional support recommendations.

  • How the science behind the placebo effect proves your unlimited ability to heal yourself, and how to maximize this power in your every-day life.

  • How to activate your inner physician to trigger a biological cascade of events for self-healing.

  • How to tap into your higher mind (higher self) to always know the truth and become your own authority.

                              This course is presented in six modules designed to be taken over about six weeks. Ideally I would like you to practice the techniques you learn in each module for about a week before progressing to the next module. Some may choose to first view the entire course, and then start practicing the techniques described in each module. 

                            Each module contains a powerful guided meditation containing brainwave entrainment tracks to deepen your practice and help induce your relaxation response. These guided meditations are each designed to promote a specific process for healing the body and mind. I recommend you listen to the guided meditations in a quiet place using earphones or earbuds to get the maximum effect. 

                   As the modules progress, the guided meditation techniques become more advanced. Theses advanced meditation techniques are most effective if you master the basics of meditation and mindfulness taught at the beginning of the course. These basics include diaphragmatic breathing, engaging present moment awareness, and inducing the relaxation response. 

                  For each of the more advanced guided meditations, I've included a downloadable ebook to help you fully understand the intention and process. 

This is a science-based course, so if you have no background in science or human physiology, you may have difficulty understanding some of the concepts presented. Please consider this before enrolling. 

Also, I encourage you to take the entire first module free before purchasing this course. That is so you will experience my teaching style and see how this course is presented. I am a geeky doctor and not a social media influencer so please don't expect to be entertained by me. I developed this course to teach. Thanks:)

                          I've taught this course in live workshops, and here is feedback from one of the participants. 

  "I initially signed up for Dr. Holden's course in order to improve at meditation -- but ended up getting so much more out of it!  Dr. Holden describes the latest findings in neuroscience, and the various ways our mind affects our health, in a way that is easy to grasp.  The course is a veritable fountain of useful information.  It also covers many different techniques for rewiring your brain including, of course, the excellent guided meditations.  So it's a bit like getting a user's manual to your brain, complete with a hands-on tutorial.  I feel that I benefited tremendously from everything I learned in the course (in many ways, it was what you'd call a "paradigm shift"), as well as the meditation practice.  I was also very inspired by the example of Dr. Holden himself, who has greatly improved his own health using the same tools and information that he's offering us.  I highly recommend this course to anyone interested in meditation, the healing powers of their own mind, or simply in getting healthier!"

Instructor Details

Keith R. Holden, M.D.

                          I graduated from LSU School of Medicine in New Orleans in 1992 and completed LSU's Internal Medicine residency program in 1995. I achieved initial certification through the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) and maintain certification through the National Board of Physicians and Surgeons (NBPAS).  I trained in Functional Medicine through The Institute for Functional Medicine.

  Functional Medicine tends to work best for chronic diseases and conditions. It often finds the root cause of the disease and corrects it to allow for healing and resolution of the illness. My training in Functional Medicine filled in many of the blanks that medical school and residency left out.

On January 10, 2017, I was honored to present Grand Rounds for the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Florida College of Medicine in Jacksonville. This lecture, "Power of the Mind in Health and Healing," was very well-received by the residents and professors. I also presented lectures to the fourth-year psychiatry residents in this program regarding the placebo effect. Thankfully, academic medicine is starting to embrace many of the concepts presented in this course.

This is a good course, for beginners. It is aimed at minds of a scientific bent, not easily open to intuition. If you attend a yoga class and do the meditation at the end, and feel even for a moment that sweet bliss of light, this is not for you. You have already past the threshhold of this course's goal. Find a more advanced course

By Lydia Shai on 7/3/2026

It made me feel calm and relaxed. I was able to silence my mind form overthinking and focus

By Daniel Dean on 1/17/2021

I’ve run thru the lectures probably 3 times now, just to help remind myself of everything because it does require a paradigm shift in your daily thinking

This is an excellent course. Thank you for the information on the HeartMath Institute. I am an energy healer (Reiki Master) and currently studying Shamanism. In addition, I am a psychiatric mental health nurse. I am grateful to have been able to take this course through my employer.

By Indrani Chakraborty on 9/17/2020

It has been an outstanding course that teaches you about the mind - body integration. And when a MD tries to integrate the higher consciousness with scientific evidence, the result is this outstanding course with enough scientific evidence and the spiritual belief to tap into the unlimited power of our own minds. May the universe bless you Dr Holden
