About this title

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.
