Summary
Listen to the Emotional Wisdom of Your Muscles and Experience a Deeper Level of Healing
You know a lot about the emotions in your mind and heart, but you probably don't know much about the emotions in your muscle body. The muscles are storehouses of emotion, and pain in those muscles is how your body reveals what needs to be healed--both emotionally and physically. Organized by muscle groups,The Body Heals Itselfis your ideal guide to understanding the link between your emotions and muscle bodies.
This book acts as a road map for the energetic journey within your own body, showing you how to recognize and release stored emotions to let go of pain. You'll discover which emotions are often paired with a specific muscle area and how muscles speak of everything from past traumas to current celebrations. Using stretches, affirmations, visualizations, and more, Emily A. Francis teaches you to unite your mind and body for better health and emotional well-being.

Library Journal Review
Francis (Stretch Therapy) applies her training in yoga, pediatric therapy, exercise science, and tai chi to impart the wisdom found in her newest book. Surprisingly, she says, the body's muscles are communicators of emotions, and that by learning to listen to them, a person can maintain the highest state of wellness possible. Throughout the book, Francis offers affirmations, visualizations, meditations, stones, and essential oils that work with a particular muscle. Each chapter details a particular part of the body, and all exercises are paired with photographs, making it easy for the reader to perform. Glossaries of exercises and affirmations, along with different modalities and tools to try round out a comprehensive presentation. VERDICT Readers interested in holistic treatments and therapies will find this a solid resource. © Copyright 2017. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
