Skepticism abounds when it comes to spontaneous healing. Doctors are taught that “miraculous” recoveries are flukes, so they don’t study those cases or take them into account when treating patients. Enter Dr. Jeffrey Rediger, who has spent more than 15 years studying the phenomenon, showing that much of our physical reality is created in our minds. Perception changes experience. He compares notes with a neuroscientist who famously had her own stroke of insight: Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor studied her own massive stroke as it happened, then documented it and her astonishing recovery.

About the Rubin Museum

The Rubin Museum of Art in Chelsea, New York City, explores and celebrates the diversity and uniqueness of Himalayan art, ideas, and culture across history and into the present. With its globally renowned collection, largely centered around the Tibetan Plateau, the Rubin fosters understanding and appreciation of this region by relating its art and ideas to our shared human experience today. Inspired by the philosophical traditions of Buddhism and Hinduism and aligned with ongoing research into learning, behavior, and the brain, the Rubin offers innovative exhibitions and programs that examine provocative ideas across the arts and explore the mind. Through this work, the Museum serves as a space for reflection and personal transformation, opening windows to inner worlds so visitors can better navigate outer ones.
