the
organs associated with feeling safe and secure in the world are
the bones, blood, immune system, and skin. If you do not feel
safe and secure, you are more likely to experience illness in one
of these organs than if you do. We refer to this group of organs as
an emotional center because their health is connected to the same
emotional issues.

Integrating Healing Methods
Each chapter in this book is dedicated to the health of the or-
gans of one emotional center. For example, Chapter 4 looks at the
organs of the first emotional center—the bones, blood, organs of
the immune system, and skin—and helps you interpret what ill-
ness in each of those organs means. It looks at the balance in your
life surrounding the core emotion associated with the organs. So,
in essence, if your sense of safety and security has been thrown
out of balance, you will likely become ill in your first emotional
center organs.
Just as we need a balanced diet to be healthy, we also need
to make sure we have healthy sources of love and happiness. By
working to invest our energy among various areas of life—family,
money, work, relationships, communication, education, and spiri-
tuality—we can create physical and emotional health.
How to Use This Book
When Louise and I began our discussions about how to create
the most useful book for you, we decided to structure it soyou
could look up the part of your body that is experiencing illness
and work from there—just like in You Can Heal Your Life . However,
you must remember that people are not simply individual organs
bound together, so the illness in one part of your body will gener-
ally affect the health of another part. And emotions about feeling
safe and secure in your family (first emotional center) also play
into emotions about self-esteem (third emotional center). To fully
heal, you must look at your life as a whole while giving extra at-
tention to the organ or illness that’s causing you the most trouble.
Feel free to flip directly to the part of the book discussing your
personal problem area, but remember that you may also find im-
portant information about other imbalances in your life by read-
ing through the entire book. Having a complete picture of your
strengths and weaknesses can help you create a long-term plan for
a healthy life in all your emotional centers.
As you work your way through the book, I’ll help you tap into
your body’s intuition surrounding the organs in each emotional

center so you can understand the messages your body is sending.
But remember, only you can decide what your body is really tell-
ing you. This book is a general guide that matches what is com-
monly seen and what the science mostly supports.
After you have determined what your body is telling you, Lou-
ise and I will walk you through healing techniques that address
the numerous reasons why we get sick. While we won’t give spe-
cific medical advice in this book because good medical advice is
unique to each individual, we will provide case studies that give
you an idea of some of the basic types of medical interventions to
consider. More important, we will lay out affirmations that you
can repeat to yourself multiple times throughout your day and
behavioral suggestions that you can immediately incorporate into
your own life. These tools will help you change your thoughts and
habits to create health.
There is one thing to note about the case studies. These sec-
tions highlight the extremes of people with problems in a single
emotional center. However, it’s important to remember that most
people don’t have just one problem—they can have many, whether
it’s infertility, arthritis, and fatigue or some other combination
of issues. In our case studies we focus only on the predominant
issue that is associated with each emotional
