For me, consciousness is non-local, not limited to the body, and can exist independent of it. Bernie Siegel bodyconsciousnessexist Change image and share on social
We participate and are responsible for a lot of the things that happen to us. If you hate your job, you are much more likely to get sick and die at a younger age than someone who's happy at work and has a nice family life and is mentally well adjusted. Bernie Siegel adjustagedie share on social
As doctors, we are not trained to communicate and understand the power of our words as they relate to a patient's ability and desire to survive. Bernie Siegel abilitycommunicatedesire Change image and share on social
Love and peace of mind do protect us. They allow us to overcome the problems that life hands us. They teach us to survive... to live now... to have the courage to confront each day. Bernie Siegel confrontcourageday Change image and share on social
Life is a miracle, and we need to not fear trying to achieve our potential and reveal the remarkable creation we and all living things are and that our Creator has built into us the ability to induce self-healing. Bernie Siegel abilityachievebuild share on social
The mind and body are not separate units, but one integrated system. How we act and what we think, eat, and feel are all related to our health. Physicians should be capable of teaching this behavior to patients. Bernie Siegel actbehaviorbody share on social

Patients want to be seen as people. For me, the person's life comes first; the disease is simply one aspect of it, which I can guide my patients to use as a redirection in their lives. When doctors look at their patients, however, they are trained to see only the disease. Bernie Siegel aspectdiseasedoctor share on social
If God had made a perfect world, it would be a magic trick, not creation, with no meaning or place for us to learn and create. Mankind is not yet ready for a perfect world. We do not know how to appreciate perfection. Bernie Siegel createcreationgod share on social
