Dealing with Emotional Issues in Stage 1

In about eighty percent of the cases I see, I can
usually get people out of Stage 1 or 2 within
twenty-four hours or less.

Healing any disease is easy when you're only
dealing with the physical aspect.

Take a few herbs, get extra sleep, maybe a
therapy or two. Not difficult.

However, the disease always comes back.

Why?

Because the root causes are not being addressed.
Let's talk about how to heal your diseases so
they never come back.

Most people eat out of emotions. I know I do.
If I'm especially upset, I tend to reach for that
Mrs. Field's chocolate chip cookie or go for a
nice cool chocolate chip mint ice cream
(ben & jerry's of course!).

But when I take the time to look into why I
have a stomachache, low back ache, or pain
of any kind, I can trace it back to an emotional
issue.

There have been a few people who have done
some excellent research on how emotions are
directly connected to our well-being.

Dr. Cheryl Townsley is one and Pastor
Henry Wright is another that I have a great
deal of repect for their work.

Here's the gist of it...

When you have pain or discomfort of any kind,
look to see how you are feeling emotionally.

If your stomach is bloating or cramping, look to
see what new ideas are in your life that you
are resisting.

If you have constant headaches, look to see
what is causing the tension. Working with
control freaks? Living with a drama queen?

If you have sinus issues are you living or
working with someone who is a constant
source of irritation to you?

Feeling irritable, tense, or out of control leads
to anger, hatred, unforgiveness, anxiety and
much more. These emotions have a direct
relationship to your organs and even down
to your blood cells!

One of my teachers, Dr. Bernard Jensen,
would say that while he doesn't advocate
divorce (nor do I) there does come a time
when you must separate yourself from
people who are causing you to be sick.

Think about it.

Do you realize that some circumstances or
some people can cause you so much emotional
stress that your body can become sick?

Is it worth it?

Only you can decide.

Until next time,
Dr. Judy
