Suitable for:

Adults

Dr. Cynthia Li, MD, author of The Medicine of Flow, sheds light on the concept of embodied flow. Most of us have been taught that better health requires more effort — more discipline, optimization, and willpower. Dr. Li offers a different path. Drawing from her own healing journey, modern science, and ancient wisdom, she reveals how embodied flow — a state of deep internal coherence — allows the body to restore itself, as if effortlessly. The result: lasting health and vitality that emerge not from pushing harder, but from finally getting out of your own way.

Cynthia Li, MD, is a doctor of integrative and functional medicine in the San Francisco Bay Area. Her own personal journey through a disabling autoimmune condition led her to become a certified teacher and workshop facilitator in qigong, an ancient mind-body practice for personal and community healing. Her earlier work centered on public health, with a focus on HIV/AIDS and underserved communities. She served on the faculty of Rachel Naomi Remen’s Healer’s Art program at UCSF Medical School, which enables medical students to discover their sense of calling and service. She is author of a healing memoir, Brave New Medicine.
