Welcome to the website of Dr. Barry Green, PhD HHPpioneer and expert
of holistics and wellness
In the origins of alternative health care, the most significant require-ment to become a practitioner was the famous saying, "healer, heal thyself."
This is truly the essence of any practitioner of genuine skill and capability. It is a simple and profound principle, you just cannot give what you haven't got.
This motto was the principle behind the first state approved massage / holistic schools Barry developed and was the founding father of, the Institute of Psycho-Structural Balancing in San Diego and Los Angeles followed by Body Mind College in San Diego. The first of these being in 1977.
What Barry brought to the very first school and its programs was nearly 20 years of personal practices, studies, therapies, trainings, spiritual studies and practices, and private practice. These 20 years covered the full spectrum of mind, body, and emotion. It was part of Barry's training to uphold the highest level of integrity of what had been passed on to him from several genuine masters. In the roots of alternatives, these principles of integrity were to respect and maintain the purity of what had been passed on from generation to generation.
Barry often shares the example of his Tai Chi martial arts training with Master Abraham Liu. After 5 years of intense training and practice, Barry was given his first compliment from Master Liu - "You getting something!" Coming from a true master of this great art, it was both an honor and attainment to be acknowledged as embodying the work.
The alternative health care field has grown from what was once considered "quackery" to a multi-billion dollar industry with chiropractic, massage and acupuncture the most successful of these industries. Out of this alternative healthcare field, also known as holistic or wellness, has come hundreds of healthcare and self development technologies.
Excluding chiropractic and acupuncture, this is an industry without any major governing body. So countless practitioners have emerged to offer their own version of alternative health care. Many of these new methods are very beneficial and the developers and practitioners are very dedicated and devoted to their work.
Because of a very unregulated situation, there have been those that were not able to fully embody and demonstrate what they were teaching or offering in private practice. This has led to some serious consequences including 3 deaths at the Sedona sweat lodge incident and a Colorado child's death from an inexperienced "rebirth" ( which was not an actual rebirth method) practitioner.
In our culture you can be well "groomed" and "sold" as an expert of alternatives. If you get a referral from a celebrity such as Oprah, or are part of a Hollywood big budget film, such as "The Secret", you will immediately be considered an expert and almost guaranteed significant income.
Dr. Barry Green is one of the few individuals in the alternative industry with decades of personal work and professional application of that work. He has been recognized as an embodiment of what he teaches and practices. Because of this he has not been "sold" in the market place, but has lived and practiced a simple and joyful life with spirituality and family as the emphasis.
