Everything in our world is made up of energy.  There is the energy in our outside world and an internal energy in our body.  When the mind is not healthy, the body operates under constant stress which will eventually lead to illness.

As a former critical care nurse, we treated patients who were sick and unfortunately many were never able to recover.  In medicine, we treat the symptoms and illnesses with medication, offering our best treatments and expertise for the body to heal.  

It wasn't until I went back to school to pursue psychology did I understand the importance of mental health.  Everything in the body, much like our outside world, is energy.  Our main source of internal energy is in the nervous system.  When we are unable to balance our nervous system, managing stress, the mind becomes very active which causes the body to be susceptible to illness or disease.

In my book, Healing Your Body By Mastering Your Mind, I talk more about how we can improve our physical health by becoming more mindful of our mental health.  We can live a physically, emotionally, and spiritually healthy life by listening to our body's messages.  A disease, illness or symptom develops when energy is blocked inside the body.  Unfortunately, many of us have little understanding of what causes it and how to correct it.
