In fact, this exploration began in the 1980s, when we bought her "Little Blue Book" 3354 "Healing Your Body: Mental Causes and Metaphysical Therapy of Physical Diseases". From this book, we find the thinking mode that leads to people's health problems.
No one would have thought that my life would change because of this little blue book, but it did change everything. This book helped me form my own medical style, and the theory in the book led me to a new path to create better health conditions for patients and myself.
Can you imagine how excited I was when Hai Studio suggested that Louise and I write a book together to discuss how to combine affirmation, intuition and the healing power of medicine, taking into account both traditional western medicine and alternative therapy? This is the ultimate treatment system! You can use these materials. You can work with Louise! How can I refuse?
Louise Hay's Theory of Affirmation
I have been carrying the book "Healing Your Body" with me during my PhD in medical school and during my research on the brain.
Whenever I cry because of the twists and turns in my life, I will turn to this book. When sinusitis and postnasal drip attack, I will also look through this book and consult the relevant thinking mode, and understand that postnasal drip is also called "crying inside". When I nervously took one student loan after another to pay tuition, my body began to have problems such as sciatica and backache. I sought the answer from this little blue book again and realized that sciatica was related to "fear of money and the future".
Many of my experiences have proved the significance of this book, but I will never understand where Louise learned the affirmative system. Thirty-five years ago, she started "clinical observation research" to think about the relationship between human thinking and health. Where does her motivation come from? Without any scientific research and medical training, how did she see the correlation between some thinking patterns and related health problems in the process of observing various visitors, and then wrote such a book-how to solve our health problems so accurately? Her method worked, but I don't know why. These questions drive me crazy.
Necessity or urgency is the mother of invention and innovation. Therefore, I decided to deeply study the scientific principle behind her affirmation theory and describe the diseases of brain and body from the emotional level. I found that the mind-body connection helped me create a therapeutic system and guided me to have intuitive counseling for more than 25 years. After all these years, I am still a doctor and a scientist. However, it was not until Louise and I started writing this book together that I realized how powerful the energy would be if I combined the therapy I used with Louise's affirmation theory.
The importance of intuition
The human body is a magical machine, which needs regular maintenance to run as efficiently as possible. There are many reasons for physical injury and illness, such as heredity, environment and diet. However, as Louise discovered in her career, every disease is influenced by emotional factors in life, and she also wrote these views into the book "Heal Your Body". Decades after Louis put forward this conclusion, scientific research began to support these views.
Studies show that fear, anger, sadness, love and happiness have specific effects on the body. As we know, anger will make muscles tense and blood vessels contract, which will lead to high blood pressure and blocked blood flow. Medicine tells us that love and happiness often have opposite effects. If you have read Louise's book Heal Your Body, you will know how heart disease and other heart problems are caused, 3354 "Drive all happiness out of your heart", "harden your heart" and "lack of happiness", and you will also see how these problems are absolutely reversed, 3354 "I brought happiness back to my heart", "I passed happily" and "I am calm.
A certain way of thinking affects our bodies in a predictable way and produces a certain chemical reaction to every emotion. When fear is the dominant emotion for a long time, the persistence of stress hormones, especially cortisol, will lead to heart disease, weight gain and depression, thus triggering a domino effect. Like fear, other emotions and thoughts follow a certain pattern and are projected on the body in the form of disease.
At work, I found that when emotions wander around various parts of the body, which organ is affected depends on the nature of life events. This is the source of intuition. Usually, if we don't know the emotional state of ourselves or our loved ones in life, this information will be conveyed to us through intuition.
We have five basic feelings that can arouse emotions: sight, hearing, body feeling, smell and taste, and five parallel "intuitive feelings": super vision (sight), super hearing (hearing), super body feeling (body feeling), super smell (smell) and super taste (taste). Through these, we can get additional information.
For example, you may receive an intuitive image anxiously, which flashes a super-visual message that your friend is in danger; Or in your mind, you hear a terrible phone ringing. Five minutes later, the phone came and the bad news of your lover's death came. Or before someone asks you to agree to a bad business transaction, you may come into contact with an "extremely strange smell" or smell a "suspicious smell"; Or you may feel an uncomfortable feeling of "intuition" or "heartache" in your body, warning you that you will get into trouble in interpersonal relationships.
Usually, intuition will lead us to accomplish something without enough information, such as helping my intuition in my medical career. Moreover, our bodies also have innate intuition to judge when our lives are out of balance, and even at the level of consciousness, we have not clearly recognized this information.
If we want to fully recover, we must focus on the information conveyed by our body intuition. But we also need logic and facts to fully understand the lifestyle that makes us healthy and unbalanced. Just like a bicycle needs two inflatable wheels to balance, you need to balance the relationship between feeling and perception, logic and fact at the same time. Extreme logic without intuition and extreme intuition without logic will lead to disaster. We must use these two tools to create health.
In this book, we will discuss how to do this, and we can focus on the following four methods:
(1) Recognize the emotions of yourself and others in your life, and pay attention to the warning signs accompanied by fear, anger and sadness;
(2) Understand the thoughts that accompany emotions and linger in our minds;
(3) Identify the pain symptoms and locate them in our body parts;
(4) Interpret the information of intuitive/emotional thinking mode on which symptoms are based, and understand that each disease is also partly attributed to factors such as diet, environment, heredity and injury.
So, how can we use the body's intuition to interpret and explain the information it is trying to convey to us?
Please imagine your body as a dashboard with a series of emergency warning lights. When you need to pay attention to something in your life, it will naturally turn red. Who hasn't experienced a dazzling red light reminder? When the fuel is insufficient and the engine almost smokes, the red warning light of the instrument will always light up untimely, which will drive you crazy. Similarly, when a certain area of your life is empty or overloaded, a certain part of your body will hint, whisper and even cry in pain.
You have seven warning lights, and each warning light consists of a group of organs. The health of every organ is related to a specific type of thinking mode and behavior. For example, organs related to external security are bones, blood, immune system and skin. If you feel unsafe, these organs are more likely to get sick. We collectively refer to this group of organs as emotional centers, because their health is related to corresponding emotional problems.
Every chapter of this book is devoted to describing the health of the emotional central organs. For example, the third chapter focuses on the organs of the first emotional center-bones, joints, blood, immune system and skin, to help you understand the significance of various diseases in these organs. Because, when the core emotions related to these organs wander around, this emotional center is balanced. So, in essence, if your sense of security and reliability is out of balance, your first emotional central sense will get sick.
Just as we need a balanced diet to stay healthy, we also need to ensure that we have love and happiness as the source of health. We need to devote our energy to all areas of life-family, money, work, interpersonal relationship, communication, education and mind, so as to create physical and mental health.
The combination of affirmation, intuition and medicine
When Louis and I started to discuss how to write the most useful books for everyone, we decided to establish these theories. As written in Rebuilding Life, you can clearly see the diseased parts of your body and then start to deal with them. However, you must remember that the human body is not simply a collection of organs tied together, so diseases in one part of the human body usually affect the health of other parts. Family security and reliability (the first emotional center) will also have an impact on self-esteem (the third emotional center).
To be completely cured, we must take life as a whole and pay special attention to the organs or diseases that cause the primary problems. You can just flip through this book and look at the part that discusses your personal problems. However, please remember that reading the whole book can also find other hidden dangers of energy imbalance in your life. A comprehensive understanding of your strengths and weaknesses will help you make a long-term plan for the healthy life of all emotional centers.
You can finish this book in your own way, and I will help you tap your body intuition around the organs of each emotional center, so that you can understand the information conveyed by your body. However, please remember that only you can decide what kind of information your body really conveys. This book is a general guide, which matches the content supported by common sense and science.
After confirming the information from your body, Louise and I will guide you to solve many problems that lead to illness through treatment. We will not give specific medical advice in this book, because effective medical advice varies from person to person. However, we will provide case studies to let you know some basic medical interventions. More importantly, we will give you some affirmations that can be used repeatedly throughout the day and some behavioral suggestions that can be immediately integrated into your life. These tools will help you change your thoughts and habits to ensure your physical and mental health.
One thing you need to pay attention to is that the case analysis highlights the typical characteristics of a person with emotional center problems. However, it is important to remember that most people have more than one problem. People can have many problems, such as infertility, arthritis, fatigue or other comprehensive problems. In the case analysis, we only pay attention to the main problems related to this emotional center.
If this book is to cover the imbalance and problems in everyone's life, it will become an encyclopedic masterpiece, which most people can't read smoothly. Please don't be surprised if you see something similar to yourself in many of our descriptions. When you are reading, your intuition may sing or just send out a quiet echo. It is important to listen to these voices and solve these problems.
In my career, I have learned several very important guiding principles: First, all of us, no matter how unique we are, no matter how weird our personality is, no matter what emotional or physical experiences we have had in the past, can improve our health. Second, we need to keep an open mind about every treatment that can be used to create health and happiness. Whether it is vitamins and nutritional supplements, herbs and medicines, or surgery, meditation, affirmation or psychotherapy, it will help if you use them under the guidance of a trusted and familiar professional therapist.
This book will help you find the right treatment combination for you.
