What are the key insights from Brian D Smith's collaboration with Dr. Brad Stuart on healing vs curing?

Curing is physical; healing is holistic. Curing targets disease (surgery, meds, procedures). Healing is “becoming whole, no matter what is going on in your environment and with your body” – emotional, spiritual, and relational.

Healing is possible even when curing is not. People near the end of life can’t always be cured, yet can find profound peace, reconciliation, and meaning.

Spirituality belongs in healthcare. Addressing purpose, connection, and consciousness (including meditation, sometimes psychedelics, and NDEs) can reduce fear and support deep healing.

Medicine needs empathy and inner work. Clinicians must find that place inside themselves where they can truly connect with patients; that’s where real healing happens.
