Feelings Affect Health

By Barb Gordon

Feelings bookI have found this book very helpful.  Disease is the natural consequence of unresolved negative feelings that have been forgotton, ignored, or buried. One of the changes I have made for my health is to not ignore my feelings.

Quoting from the book: “According to Prevention Magazine: “It is estimated that 90% of all physical problems have psychological roots. That may sound like a gross exaggeration. In fact, it’s probably a conservative estimate. A growing body of evidence indicates that virtually every ill that can befall the body-from acne to arthritis, headaches to heart disease, cold sores to cancer-is influenced, for better or worse, by our emotions. (Quoted from The Complete Guide to Your Emotions And Your Health p. 563 by Emrika Padus and the editors of Prevention magazine.)”

“I only know that by using this “tool” I have been able to alleviate about 90% of the negativity and erronous programming in my life, the result of which has brought me the sweet gifts of serenity, love, contentment, peace and joy.” author Karen K Truman
