The Chinese described the emotions as being a cause of ill health as early as 200 BC. It is now universally recognized that anger, guilt, joy, jealousy, fear etc have a strong effect on our body.


The book clearly explains the link between the elements, the body’s organs and our feelings. Using the elements and philosophy behind Chinese medicine, this book shows you how to:




Transform Anger
Conquer Fear
Release Sadness
Break the Worry Habit
Enhance Self Awareness


Each Element – fire, water, wood, earth and metal has a different personality type associated with it. Healing Your Emotions takes you through case studies and questionnaires to reveal your Element type, and then offers exercises, both mental and physical, which will help you identify and deal with the emotions which stop you being healthy.


It uses an action plan which borrows from both Eastern and Western techniques:




Qi Gong
NLP
Gestalt therapy and focussing
Visualisation
