People who help others to heal have tried to work out the connection between mental and physical health. Recently, science has actually recognised the powerful connections between the emotional, physical, spiritual and behaviour processes. And how they can greatly impact our health. Research in the field of mind-body medicine has found emotions and thoughts can contribute to chemical imbalances within the body. Therapies like hypnosis, guided imagery, guided meditation, yoga, HeartMath and Psychoneuroimmunology are being used to create balance and promote whole mind-body health. We now know the beliefs you have about yourself and the world, your emotions and memories, and your behavioural habits influence your mental and physical health. These connections between what is going on in your mind and heart, and what is happening in your body, form the psycho-emotional roots of health and disease.
