Books: The Intelligent Body: Reversing Chronic Fatigue and Pain from the Inside Out

Abstract

Why are we seeing growing numbers of people suffering from debilitating chronic symptoms of pain, fatigue, inflammation, and cognitive impairment that medicine is failing to resolve? A new paradigm is needed where we understand the mind and body as an interconnected flowing system. This paradigm embraces the self-healing, self-correcting, and self-creating natures of our connected mind-body system. Physical symptoms are simply a sign of disharmony and energetic imbalance, a 'tap on the shoulder' from our intelligent body that is trying to get our attention. This 'tap' can become debilitating symptoms over time. When we pay attention and understand this communication, we can take the steps to facilitate our own self-healing. There is a deep connection between our health and vitality and our happiness and sense of fulfillment. The connection at its core is remarkably simple: optimum health, peace of mind, and a fulfilling life experience emerge when we are aligned with our 'true self' This book explains the origins of chronic symptoms and outlines the road to recovery. Readers are offered life-changing principles and practices to regain harmony in their lives and bodies, whether they suffer from chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, adrenal fatigue, trauma, depression, or anxiety. It explains how we can learn to heal ourselves from the inside out by reconceptualizing the relationships among our bodies, minds, and emotions, embracing the full importance of the mind-body connection, and tapping our natural restorative capacities.
