Hi everyone,
i was just wondering if anyone know of reading material on the connection between emotions and physical problems...
for example, if a woman has chronic BV infections or candida this could mean she has some sort of supressed emotions regarding sexuality...i'm not sure if that's right but it's something i heard about...i would really love to learn more about this as i believe there's a lot of truth to it....
thanks,
Tam

Re: emotional physical connection
Mon, January 21, 2008 - 4:01 PMLouise Hay's "Heal Yourself" books and workbooks are 'classics' in looking at physical manifestation of emotional/energy blocks. If you're interested in specific women's reproductive/sexual health and links to sexuality and sexual abuse issues, most texts on healing from sexual trauma touch on these links.
On a personal note, these are issues I've worked on in my own healing and would be happy to continue a dialogue with you off-list. -

Mon, January 21, 2008 - 6:34 PMI wish I had some book suggestions for you. Only a set of opinions:
There would certainly seem to be a connection between one's psychology and one's physiology. But I don't know if there is a direct, predictable correlation between one kind of physical affliction and one kind of emotional one. -

Tue, February 12, 2008 - 3:45 AMDear Tam,
Dr. Christian Northrup's book Women's Bodies Women's Wisdom was a revolution of thought for me at one time. Carolyn Myss a medical intuiative also has several books published on this very topic. I'd just warn you to be wary of anything and everything you read. Personally there's not many Western sources I'd completely trust today regarding health and sexuality. Nevertheless these two women do offer important contributions of their own experiences which could help you to further investigate your own.
Be well, well Be.

Re: emotional physical connection
Tue, February 12, 2008 - 2:02 PMI've noticed that personally, whenever an infection like that appears, it's usually related to anger regarding sexuality. SOmetimes about frustration with a lover, feeling sexually unsatisfied, or some kind of unexpressed emotion regarding a relationship with someone I have sexual energy with.
Hope that helps.

Re: emotional physical connection
Sat, March 1, 2008 - 8:36 PMMakes some sense to me.
I was having pain when I was having sexual relations with my husband.
I had some gut feelings he was talking to someone else online but I was told that they were only friends.
Well more and more it pointed in the direction that something indeed was going on and he was planning to leave.
By that time I was ready for him to leave because I was tired of the lies he was telling me.
And it was time for me to move on.
I think the pain I was experiencing was suppressed anger.
It is hard for the kids not having a dad but I think as they get older they will realize that he was not always being the best dad to them either.
He was getting to the point where he was getting abusive physically with me.
And I was not about to deal with that either. -

Re: emotional physical connection
Sun, March 2, 2008 - 7:38 AMI absolutely believe there is a connection! I have battled chronic infections for many many years... BUT ONLY when I'm in a relationship where tension over sex and sexuality is a problem. So although I don't have any concrete 'allopathic' direction to point you in - I would seek the 'source' in other ways. Louise Hay did come to mind for me also...
But do some research into your Chakras too. Especially the first second and third... and then I've found many a connection to the fifth also (the voice not-so ironically!)
And on a nutritional note... what foods do you turn to for comfort when intimacy is a problem in your relationship? High sugar and starches feed Candida like a feast - so if you're reaching for the ice cream or alcohol or other high sugar foods when you are sad or lonely, you are 'training' those bacteria to 'react' to your emotional state by becoming hungry - because they know the sugar is on it's way! Try a naturally sweet, culture rich yogurt instead...in fact, if you are battling this I would add yogurt as a daily or even twice daily snack regardless of your emotional state or food preferences.
lovelovelove and healing to you! -

Re: emotional physical connection
Sun, March 2, 2008 - 4:30 PMThankfully I don't turn to alcohol.
I did turn to sweets though but I am working at getting better on my eating habits actually.
I need to go in for a check up but I may be dealing with IBS as well.
But I do eat yogurt and have gotten into the habit of getting yogurt for the kids as well.
I am reading some different books currently some on meditation and the chakras.
My youngest son is learning to use yoga breathing to help him calm and center himself,
which is great since he was diagnosed with PDD.
