Physical Conditions - the Emotional Causes of Illness

All physical conditions reflect some dis-ease in the mind. When we have long-standing unresolved issues, they may eventually manifest in the body.  The area of the body affected gives us an indication of the nature of the issue, for example; teeth relate to decision making, blood relates to joy or the lack of it, the liver holds our anger.

Of course, we do not consciously choose to be ill but our subconscious can create illness or accidents for some specific reason, perhaps we just need some 'time out', or perhaps there are deeper motivations.
 
Our techniques can give us an understanding of the condition, and enable us to resolve those underlying emotional issues.  This opens up the possibility of recovery and reduces the likelihood of recurrance. 

Weight problems and eating disorders

The subconscious ultimately controls our eating behaviour (along with many of the other things we do) and will-power alone cannot override the subconscious drive. This is the reason diets seldom work in the long term. 

With our approach we do not have to deny ourselves the pleasure of eating, (nor do we have to force ourselves to eat), but we will create  a change in our attitude to food and/or to ourselves 

We may need to improve self-esteem and confidence, or perhaps we need to connect to our power and control. Often we need to learn to be happy with ourselves and know that we deserve to be healthy.
