Healing through the power of emotions. Profound yet wonderfully accessible, this health guide allows us to share in the traditional knowledge of Chinese medicine, as conveyed by Dr. Ton van Gelder, drawing from his experiences in natural healing and TCM. As long as all the cells in our body are in exchange with each other and with the nourishing matrix, energy flows freely and a person is healthy. When this flow is disrupted, this energy turns against us. The book focuses on which emotions create which blockages, how they affect health, and how they can ultimately be resolved so that the body can heal itself. The reward is a harmonious life - the joy of physical and mental well-being. The five elements of health combine modern Western and traditional Eastern approaches.
