N amaste is a beautiful word in the Hindi language.

It means The light in me honors the light in you.

Namaste is not the first word you expected to hear, I know. Its not the word bandied about by most medical doctors, but it is the first word youll hear from me. It is also the word I return to over and over in my mind as I treat my patients. It is the only word that truly describes the healers art, a meeting of light between souls that makes them both better and stronger. I have seen this healing take place in my work repeatedly. It is almost impossible to describe and awesome to see. In this moment, our roles become switched.

My patient stands before me, a newly minted #healthhero whose light shines.

That light is a divine sign of your best you. With pills and triage, weve forgotten that if you have your health, you have everything, another oldeven ancientpiece of wisdom proved true endlessly. Little is possible without your health. Too many of us walk around limping, literally or figuratively. Something isnt right in our life. You wake up with a stiff neck too many times and have too much time on your handsor too little. You dont sleep well. You are stressed, suffer internal inflammation, and develop illness. Your relationships suffer. So does your work. Isolation and depression set in. How do you get reconnected to the light?

Ive spent countless hours in thought. I have observed, questioned, and pulled survivors of catastrophic illness onstage during lectures in hopes of understanding what held them together through such an ordeal. What was in their character and outlook that allowed them to overcome such a threat? How did they handle such a huge disruption to their life? I have spoken to colleagues, philosophers, and spiritual leaders. Themes began to emerge: hope, courage, a sense of purpose, a positive outlook, dedication to other human beings, and a fighting spirit. Their #tribe gathered around them to provide support and the saying If you have your health, you have everything took on new meaning. It was the wellspring from which goodness flowed.

Five areas of life began to show themselves as constants in these great achievers: a sense of purpose; a balanced approach to food and exercise; being part of a #tribe for support, encouragement, engagement, and bonding; and cultivating a sense of spiritualitysimply a belief that they are connected to something greater than themselves.

Beyond the machines and chemistry, those five areas were often the difference between a successful outcome and a life overtaken by illness. Those five areas didnt require money, only commitment and heart. I began to look inside my own life and realized I had instinctively made some of these successful moves. Others took years of work. But once you see the simplicity of these ideas and manage to put them into action, the rewards are too valuable to put a price on any of it.
