Editorial Reviews

Product Description
We all know how we cry tears when we are sad or get "butterflies" in our stomach when we are nervous. These are simple connections between the mind and the body that are easy for us to understand. But what about the bigger issues, when the body gets ill, diseased, or damaged? Now with Your Body Speaks Your Mind, Deb Shapiro—author of The Body Mind Workbook and Unconditional Love—shows you a practical way to learn the language of your body so you can understand how your thoughts and feelings directly affect your physical health. "The body shows us what we are unconsciously ignoring, denying, or repressing," she says. With her breakthrough book, readers learn: • A system-by-system guide to your body that reveals what it is telling you about yourself • A cross-referenced index of symptomatic illnesses, from headaches to pneumonia, and the emotional imbalances they symbolize • Creative visualization and meditation techniques on CD to enhance your ability to listen to, communicate with, and heal your body, and more. "Healing is a continual journey—one of embracing ourselves ever more deeply," explains Deb Shapiro. Your Body Speaks Your Mind takes you on that journey, deepening your relationship with your own mind and body. Revised and updated UK bestseller.

About the Author
Deb Shapiro has trained extensively in various schools of bodywork, Buddhist meditation, and Jungian psychology in both England and America. She has been teaching both body-mind therapy and meditation with her husband, Ed Shapiro, for the past 20 years. Her books include The Body Mind Workbook (Vega Books, 2002), Meditation: Four Steps to Calmness and Clarity (Vega Books, 2003), and Unconditional Love (Time Warner AOL 2003). She and Ed reside in Boulder, Colorado.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unresolved Emotions create Conflict in the Body , February 7, 2007
"All your thoughts and feelings get translated into chemicals that fire off throughout your body, altering the chemical composition and behavior of your cells." ~ Deb Shapiro

If you have ever wondered how emotions affect the body, then "Your Body Speaks Your Mind" is an excellent place to start. Not only will you be able to understand your symptoms, you will also know how to eradicate them. This book contains many answers, especially to the following questions:

How do neuropeptides carry information from the mind to the body?
Do all diseases have their origin in the mind?
How do unresolved emotions affect your health?
Why are certain feelings linked to specific body parts?
What are the specific steps you can take to heal the body with your mind?

Deb Shapiro makes an interesting connection between love and health. She also shows how creative visualization and writing in a journal can help to take away symptoms of illness. By giving up negative emotions you can literally heal the body from the inside out. This book then becomes most useful as you make the connections and start the healing process.

"70 percent of patient visits to the doctor are for stress-related illnesses." ~ pg. 5

Some of the topics in this book include: Insomnia, Addiction, Nervous Breakdowns, Depression, Anxiety, Skin Conditions, Infertility, Menopause, The Digestive System, Eating Disorders and Heart Issues.

A CD is included with this book and contains visualization practices. I can recommend this book very highly and think it would make a perfect addition to any health library.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Top reference books in Energy Medicine, October 17, 2006
By M. Branson (West Hartford, CT) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I am an energy medicine practitioner, and I use this book frequently to support my clients in making the changes in their beliefs that support improvements in their health. The information is an excellent partner to Louise Hay's "Heal Your Body" (or her larger book "You Can Heal Your Life".) My perspective is that our beliefs affect our emotions in somewhat predictable ways; our emotions affect our biochemistry in some predictable ways; our biochemistry determines our physical health. The beliefs that are negatively impacting our physical health are often hard to unearth, and this book is extremely useful in offering possible starting points to consider.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must-have reference, August 27, 2006
By Joanne (New Jersey) - See all my reviews
This book clearly and concisely explains the emotional and spiritual underpinnings for many physical dis eases. Rather than relying solely on conventional drug and western treatment methods, it helps the reader understand the deeper relationship of holistic approaches to healing - not just curing.

Deb Shapiro is a master in teaching us how to listen to what our bodies are trying to tell us through pain and disease. The enclosed CD - new with this edition - helps make the lessons contained in the book even more personal!
