In this episode, Caitlin Woolery sits down with Dr. Mike Patten to explore Concept Therapy, the Hermetic laws, and the idea that disease is not a physical process. Dr. Mike breaks down the Hermetic laws of vibration, relativity, polarity, gender, rhythm, cause and effect, and transmutation, and explains how these laws continually overlap and operate whether we recognize them or not. The conversation looks at the body through spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical planes, exploring how subconscious concepts, emotional patterns, inherited beliefs, and repeated experiences can eventually express through the physical body. Caitlin and Dr. Mike discuss how concepts become embedded in the subconscious through emotion, family, culture, religion, medicine, fear, and personal experience, and how those concepts can influence behavior, health, relationships, and the patterns we repeatedly create. The discussion moves into vitalism, innate intelligence, chiropractic, herbal medicine, pharmaceuticals, placebo, and the difference between supporting the body’s healing processes and suppressing a physical expression without addressing what is driving it. They also examine the four physical laws of nourishment, movement, recuperation, and sanitation, along with the role of fear, comparison, polarity, knowledge, ego, and awareness in changing deeply established patterns. The episode eventually moves beyond physical healing into cause and effect, money, ambition, service, manifestation, surrender, trauma, forgiveness, and higher laws. Caitlin questions manifestation culture and whether continually imposing our personal will on the future can become another expression of ego and desire, bringing Samsara and the spiritual consequences of attachment into the conversation. The discussion closes with consciousness, God, source, innate intelligence, and the possibility that healing and spiritual development involve progressively recognizing the laws operating behind our experiences. Caitlin and Dr. Mike explore whether we are actually separate from the intelligence moving through matter, biology, and consciousness, and how greater awareness of that connection may change our relationship with suffering, other people, and ourselves.

As the son of a chiropractor, he learned early to see the body as intelligent, connected, and constantly working toward healing. After becoming a chiropractor and practicing alongside his father, an experience with a patient he was unable to help sparked a lifelong pursuit to better understand one question: How does a person actually heal? In 2019, that pursuit led Dr. Mike to the Concept Therapy Institute, where he began studying Universal Laws, Hermetic principles, and how our concepts influence our health and lives. Today, he brings those principles together with the physical and nutritional aspects of health in his practice. His goal is to give people the space to be heard, help them understand why they feel the way they do, and recognize the innate intelligence within the body that is continually working toward healing.
