Louise Hay's You Can Heal Your Life was 1st published in 1984 and I reviewed it on this blog in March 2016 - Book Review. What I want to do today is talk about the emotional vs medical 'dis-ease' dictionary at the back of the book. Although she was asked numerous times to review the content, Louise always kept the list and explanations exactly the same because life evolves but the emotions that ultimately cause disease do not.
I refer to the content of the 'dictionary' daily with my clients, friends and family. I strongly believe that when we delve into the root cause of ailments, illnesses and dis-ease we can trace it back to an emotional blockage, negative thoughts or destructive habits that lead to imbalances. These imbalances can be released via yoga, reiki, gong baths, meditation and other healing modalities, this is why they are so important to our overall health. It is no good just working on our external wellbeing.
