I am excited to re-share this article on Louise Hay’s Emotional vs. Dis-ease Dictionary, first published in 2018. This incredible resource explores the deep connection between our emotional patterns and physical or medical “dis-ease,” offering a practical dictionary at the back that decodes the emotional roots behind common complaints.
Louise’s work is timeless - she reminds us that every ache, pain, and imbalance carries an emotional story - and that true, lasting healing begins when we uncover and address that emotional cause.
Interestingly, although Louise was often asked to revise or update the dictionary, she chose to keep it exactly as it was. Life may change, yet the emotions that ultimately contribute to dis-ease remain consistent - a powerful reminder of how universal and enduring these patterns truly are.
And if you don’t see your particular “sickness” listed, consider that many modern diagnoses are simply new labels created as medicine and terminology 'evolves'. The good news? Regardless of the name or label, true healing is always possible when you work with your energy, emotions, and awareness.
Louise Hay's You Can Heal Your Life was 1st published in 1984 and reviewed on my blog in March 2016 - Book Review.
I often refer to the dictionary when supporting clients, friends and family. I deeply believe - and have witnessed in myself and many clients - that when we explore the root cause of ailments, illnesses, and dis-ease, we can often trace it back to an emotional blockage, negative thought pattern, ancestral imprint, or destructive habit that leads to imbalance.
These imbalances can be faced, cleared, and released through a series of Quantum Healing Remote Sessions or Innerdance via Zoom - powerful sound and energy journeys to regulate the nervous system, release density, and realign your energy channels on a quantum level.
One session can open the doorway, yet lasting transformation unfolds over time. As your system begins to trust and integrate the new frequencies, each session brings you deeper - gently unraveling old emotional layers, patterns, and conditioning that no longer serve you. It’s a beautiful process of recalibration, clarity, and embodiment.
Along the way, you will begin to detoxify your system, transmute trauma, anxiety, depression, worry, stress, and fear, and ignite your natural immune response. This work supports the release of inherited patterns, helping you cultivate unwavering confidence and thrive as your multidimensional self - grounded, radiant, and aligned.
Our thoughts become things - and now, we are being called to heal every aspect of ourselves.
So far, 19,735 people have read and connected with this blog, which is truly wonderful. Together, we are remembering that healing is in our own hands. True transformation happens when we turn inward, question our thought patterns, and awaken to the immense power flowing through our individual energy channels.
This is about strengthening your connection to Self, Higher Self, and Source Energy. Remember - New Earth is not a place; it’s a state of being within us all. The invitation now is simple: get out of your own way, and allow your light to lead.

This is by no means a full list - just a snippet to give you an idea of how powerful it can be to understand the emotional and energetic roots behind common physical and emotional complaints. I highly recommend working with this book regularly - whether daily, weekly, or whenever you feel under the weather or emotionally off balance.
Since beginning energy work in 2014, sickness simply isn’t my path. I focus on keeping my energy clear and my system balanced, making wellbeing my natural default. By practicing daily self-quantum energy alignment with Innerdance and Vesica Piscis + Merkaba activation, I continually clear and release emotional blockages before they have a chance to manifest physically - and honestly, it rocks.
If you’d like to go deeper into this kind of inner recalibration, my Merkis® Quantum Chakra Course is a beautiful next step. It is a self-paced activation journey designed to recalibrate your Lightbody, balance your energy centres, and align your physical, emotional, and spiritual bodies through sacred geometry, breath, and vibration.
The Merkis process helps you embody the same principles Louise Hay teaches - transforming awareness into energetic mastery and lasting self-healing.
We are each our own best healer. The more we learn to listen to our energy and emotions, the more effortlessly we align with radiant health, flow, and purpose.
Remember, you are doing amazingly well. Every step you take toward understanding and aligning your energy is a step toward true healing. When your energies are clear and balanced, you have the power to heal from anything, release what no longer serves you, and step fully into your radiant, multidimensional self.
