cortisol, triggers
    a domino effect of chemicals that lead to heart disease, weight
    gain, and depression. As with fear, other emotions and thoughts
    follow a typical pattern as they are projected onto the body in the
    form of illness. In my work, I have also found that while emo-
    tions travel everywhere in the body, they affect organs differently

    Integrating Healing Methods
    depending on what is happening in your life. This is where intu-
    ition comes in.
    Often if we are not aware of an emotional situation in our life
    or the life of a loved one, this information comes to us through
    intuition. We have five earthbound senses that can evoke our feel-
    ings: seeing, hearing, body sensation, smell, and taste. And we have
    five parallel “intuitive senses”—clairvoyance (seeing), clairaudience
    (hearing), clairsentience (body sensation), clairalience (smelling),
    and clairgustance (tasting)—through which we can gain addition-
    al information. For example, you may anxiously receive an intui-
    tive image, a clairvoyant flash that a friend is in danger. Or you
    may feel dread when you hear the phone ring in your head five
    minutes before it actually does, relaying bad news about a loved
    one’s death. You may get that famous “bad taste in your mouth”
    or feel like you “smell something suspicious” right before some-
    one asks you to agree to a bad business deal. Or you may experi-
    ence a bad feeling in your body, whether it’s that “gut feeling” or
    that “heartache” warning you about a problem you will be facing in
    your relationship.
    In addition to the commonly understood intuition that guides
    us in these matters where we have insufficient information—like
    the intuition that has helped me throughout my medical career—
    our bodies also have innate intuition. Our bodies can tell when
    something is out of balance in our lives, even if this knowledge is
    unclear in our conscious minds.
    If we are to fully heal, we must bring our attention to the mes-
    sages our bodies relay through intuition. But we also need logic
    and facts to fully understand which imbalances in our lifestyle
    are affecting our health. Just like needing both tires inflated on
    a bicycle, you need to balance emotions and intuition with logic
    and fact. Both extreme logic without intuition and intuition with-
    out logic breed disaster. We must use both of these tools to create
    health. Throughout this book we will discuss how to do this, fo-
    cusing on four approaches:

    1. Becoming conscious of our emotions and those of
    other people in our life, making note of the warnings
    that come with fear, anger, and sadness
    2. Figuring out what thoughts accompany these feelings
    that keep swirling around our heads
    3. Identifying symptoms of distress and locating them
    in our bodies
    4. Decoding the intuitive/emotional thought-pattern
    information underlying the symptoms and
    understanding that every illness is also in part due to
    diet, environment, genetics, and injury
    The Intuitive Emergency Dashboard
    So how do we tap into our body’s intuition to read and inter-
    pret the messages it is trying to send us?
    Think of your body as a car dashboard; it has a series of emer-
    gency warning lights—regions that light up symptomatically
    when something in your life needs attention. Who hasn’t experi-
    enced that irritating gas light? Always going on at an inopportune
    time, this dashboard warning light aggravates you when you drive
    your car until it’s so low on fuel that it’s almost running on fumes.
    Similarly, if an area of your life is empty—or running on excess—a
    part of your body will hint, murmur, even scream out in distress.
    You have seven warning lights, each consisting of a group of
    organs. The health of the organs in each group is associated with
    specific types of thought patterns and behaviors. For example,
