Dr. Jason Gordon's Philosophy
Dr. Jason firmly believes that to cross over from being a healthcare provider to being a healer, a practitioner must be deeply committed to their own self-cultivation. As healers, our ability to contain more possibility for our patients and clients is reliant upon our capacity for clarity, poise, peace and judgment-free compassion. This is less of a belief and more of an experience that he has come to through years of clinical practice coupled with years of self-cultivation work. Currently, Jason is grateful to say that he has many mentors that continue to be influential in his personal development.
He also continues to study his own mind via Buddhist practices; he continues to practice Yoga and Meditation as he has since 1996; he is an active member of a group facilitation community; he has been a member of a men's group since 2010; he takes several solitary retreats each year; and he continues to receive his own preventative and destiny nourishing healthcare on a regular basis.
