Ever hear stories about people who have terminal cancer and beat the odds? For years, people have said to me that you can cure yourself. But I never believed them. When I read the book, The Secret Language of Your Body: The Essential Guide to Health and Wellness by Inna Segal, I was intrigued.
Ms. Segal believes that there are 10 principles for healing, which include:
• Make health a priority;
• Don’t hide your emotions, feel them;
• Be conscience of your breathing;
• Watch what you eat and try to eat healthy;
• Exercise;
• Listen to the clues that your body gives you;
• Use your creativity;
• Put color in your life;
• Be grateful for what you have and not what you don’t have;
• Laugh as much as possible.
What is interesting about the book is Ms. Segal takes each body part and explains why this may be a problem area for you and what you can do to change it. So for example, if your mouth hurts for any reason, it may be because you have a bad attitude and are closed to other opinions and options. Her remedy is to concentrate on that body part and focus on what is going on. After that, she suggests going into a meditative state where you say:
“Divine Healing Power help me… (You add what your problem areas are.)”
Say Clear… Clear…. Clear…. Until you feel something change.
Close your eyes and focus on a particular color. In the example of the mouth, focus on the color white. Once you have had enough of white, you can think about pink, orange and blue. Ms. Segal says to focus on your breath swirling around your mouth and releasing all the stress. She suggests spitting out the stress and repeating the following:
“Divine Healing Intelligence allow me to be more generous and understanding and have a better attitude.” Also say, Divine Healing Intelligence please heal “my mouth, tongue and teeth to their full health, vitality and flexibility.”
The author has a remedy for almost any physical or psychological ailment, which includes depression, sadness and stress.
At the end of the book, she talks about how colors can change the way we see the world. Each color is detailed out on how it makes you feel. If there is too much of one color, it will make you feel a certain way.
She believes that focusing on color is the essence of healing. When I was reading The Secret Language of Your Body, I kept thinking how caring Inna Segal is. She provided many case studies about people she has helped through this simple process. She also offers meditative techniques on her web site at www.InnaSegal.com. I didn’t feel as though she was trying to sell me anything, I felt like she was genuinely interested in helping people overcome their physical and psychological ailments.
The book is a solid reference book. If you have a discomfort, go to the page and try out her regimen. She claims it works. I’m not sure if I believe it, but I certainly will try her recommendations the next time I have a headache, feel stressed or my back hurts. Who knows… it couldn’t hurt!
