Your Body Speaks Your Mind : Understand How Your Emotions Affect Your Health

This work, by the author of "Bodymind Workbook", provides more information on the subject of the mind and body relationship and how to use this connection to improve your health and well-being. It shows that your emotional and psychological states affect you physically and that you can heal your body with your mind, and heal your mind through your body. The intimate relationship between the mind and the body is explored, and how this relationship can both adversely and positively affect our state of health. Early chapters look at topics such as attitude and conditioning, unspoken messages and how feelings and thoughts are linked to body parts and illness. The second part of the book describes how we can use the healing power of the mind and the healing power of the body to make ourselves healthy and "whole". It includes powerful visualizations, meditations and exercises. The third and major part of the book examines the different parts of the body (moving parts, digestive systems, heart and circulation, eyes, skin, etc) and explains how, by looking at the nature of the illness and at what was happening prior to its onset, we can begin to see what is happening in our lives and what healing is needed.
