Will Meecham, MD

As a disabled surgeon and accidental mystic in deep distress, I found wellness by merging biological science with spiritual insight.

The stage was set when spinal pain and mood instability dogged me after a harsh upbringing. As I entered midlife, spine problems worsened until they ended my surgical career. Intense mood swings followed, then evolved into powerful visionary states.

The visions assigned a daunting task: merge science and religion. They also shattered my worldview, transforming me from atheist to…something else. So I took the mandate more seriously than I’d have predicted before the crisis.

Even so, years passed before I made much progress. I faltered often, abandoning the call for long stretches. But always the sense of mission returned until—graced by chance opportunities—I found myself teaching classes that interwove biology and spirituality.

As Mindful Biology grew into being, it helped me embrace difficulties (past, present, and potential) with ease and heart. Having seen it benefit myself and others, I suspect it could help the culture at large. The sense of calling remains.

Mindful Biology is an expression of my lived experience and—I believe—Life itself.
