Tell me what hurts you so I can tell you why

Our body speaks. We just have to learn to hear it.

Allergy, fever, chronic pain, inflammation, cyst, lumbago, migraine, rhinitis, obesity, sciatica, cancer, and many others are all signs of internal tension seeking external expression.

Michel Odoul's book is a practical guide for anyone who is looking for the causes of their illness rather than being content to simply treat the symptoms. Through it we will learn to see illness not as the result of bad luck or genetic predisposition, but as a message to the soul, to our inner self. For traditional Eastern medicine, illness is a sign of an obstacle to the realization of the Way of Life.

Odoul reveals the direct link between specific emotional and mental states and specific illnesses and traumas of the body. All pain is a consequence of a particular emotional blockage from which we need to be released. If we learn what the psychoenergetic mechanisms of disease are, we will not only regain our health, but grow spiritually.

Michel Odoul is the founder of the French Institute of Shiatsu and a practicing healer, author of several bestselling health books. Combining Western knowledge with Eastern wisdom, he shares his experience as a psychologist and his knowledge of the world of energies, as well as his belief in the power of Life.
