Carol Ritberger is an author, medical intuitive and radio host with several years of experience in the field of personality analysis, psychological and psycho-spiritual meanings behind illnesses. In her book, Healing Happens with Your Help, Ritberger explores the mindset of people most likely to be ill, the deeper meaning behind illnesses, the effects of suppressing emotions, where emotions get stored in the body and finally, how one can take charge of one's life at a physical, mental and spiritual level and hence help trigger the body's inherent self healing capabilities.
What are the Needs of the Body, Mind and Soul?
While most diseases of today tend to be attributed to viruses and bacteria, malignant cell growth, excessive or lack of hormones, the book Healing Happens with Your Help, helps the reader understand how thoughts, emotions, core themes, beliefs, not attending to the needs of the body, mind and soul are the chief contributors to ailments. Ritberger states that if there is a pattern of the needs of the body, mind and soul not being met over a period of time, the body responds in the form of an illness.
- The need of the soul is to grow and express itself.
- The need of the body is to connect with other people and be loved.
- The need of the mind is to feel secure and in control of life.
What Kind of People are Most Likely to Fall Ill?
According to Ritberger, scientific research in the field of psychoneuroimmunlogy - the field that studies relationship between emotions and the functioning of the immune system - shows that people that exhibit some negative patterns of thought are more likely to develop serious illnesses.
People that have unresolved emotional issues that consume their thoughts, that lack self-love, that are controlling and do not prefer to go with the flow, that deny attending to the needs of the body, mind and soul, tend to develop serious disorders, if they continued to live an unhappy life over a long period of time. She mentions that genetic disorders can be prevented with changes at the physical and mental level.
Why Read the Book Healing Happens With Your Help?
The book helps in understanding differences between disease and illness, soul and spirit, curing and healing, feelings and emotions. The book is the result of a well researched study into the human psyche and personality. It provides specific answers and facts backed by research on the commonly prevalent mental patterns, metaphysical meanings, emotional states of people that suffer from common illnesses like diabetes, lupus and many others.
Even though many people are familiar with the idea of illness originating in the mind before the body, the book specifies what type of emotions affect which areas of the body. Ritberger says that the body's messages over specific disorders were consistently the same as to how they affected specific parts of the body. For example, she always found the emotion of fear stored in the right atrium of the heart, bladder, reproductive organs and the spinal plexus. Self directed anger is usually stored in the spleen.
Instead of being in the victim mode when diagnosed with an illness, the book empowers the individual to take action and embrace treatment options from all streams of medicine from allopathy to acupuncture. Ritberger says that illness acts as an effective teacher and forces the individual to change thought patterns, allow more self love, have an active mind and body and explore solutions.
Ritberger writes, "Be in the present moment, because only then will you become aware of what you need to change in order to give the soul, mind and body what they need." Even though the body has an inherent self healing mechanism, the individual can help the body heal by addressing the needs of the body, mind and soul.
