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

From the Back Cover:

"A good laugh makes you ten years younger, whilst worry turns the hair grey."
'Chinese Proverb'

The ancient Chinese understood that positive emotions can keep us healthy whilst negative emotions significantly and unfavourably affect our health. Our bodies manifest our emotions, for example worry can deplete the immune system and frustration and anger can strain the heart. 'Healing Your Emotions' gives us a fuller understanding of the mind-body connection and the prevention of disease. Based on the Chinese Five Elements theory, it shows us how to create balance through powerful but gentle exercises which work with the Elements that rule certain parts of our body, personality and emotions. This important new approach shows us how to identify our Constitutional Type and use an action plan which borrows from both Eastern and Western techniques such as Qi Gong and Neuro-Linguistic Programming.

Learn how to:
� Enjoy better health now and in the future
� Identify and deal with the emotions which stop you being healthy
� Discover your constitutional type and create balance within
� Enhance your self awareness, develop stability and your inner sense of worth

This is a book which will help you to transform anger, conquer fear, release sadness and break the worry habit – and restore health and well-being.
