MBMRL Philosophy
“The potential of humans can best be understood when we consider the entire person rather than only the physical self. The mind encompasses the brain; but also includes consciousness, awareness, intentionality, and spirituality. All healing is ultimately from God; however we can discover ways to utilize the mind to bring about positive changes in the body.”
