Understanding the Messages of Your Body
We are all born with certain parts of our bodies that are less healthy than others, and as the stresses and traumas of life accumulate, these areas become what author Jean-Pierre Barral calls our bodies' "weakest link." This is especially the case with our internal organs.
In this book, Barral discusses each organ and its complex relationship with the rest of the body, explaining how pain can originate with an emotional upset that creates distress in an organ, or how a physically damaged organ can cause emotional problems. 240 pages. Regularly $18.95
