This is very interesting, SD. I've put it in my Amazon cart and will be purchasing it soon.
I've been reading a book about healing fibroids naturally and there is an interesting chapter on the mind-body connection. One of the things it says is:
"Eastern healers link gynecological dysfunction, including fibroids, to disturbances in what is known as second chakra energy. The second chakra corresponds to the second nerve plexus from the bottom of the spine. The human experience, issues, and emotions associated with the second chakra include our relationships to money, power, people, jobs, creativity and sexuality. The second chakra also relates to issues of abuse. In fact, most experts are convinced of the connection between sexual abuse and the development of fibroids. A recent study that was reported in a medical-peer-review journal identified an association between chronic pelvic pain and unresolved issues related to past sexual abuse. Childhood abuse does not have to be sexual. Emotional abuse and other types of physical abuse can also lead to energy stagnation in the pelvic area, the part of the body governed by the second chakra. I have noted that many of my patients who suffer from fibroids and other chronic gynecological ailments are also plagued with second-chakra-related emotional issues."
I'm going to have to do a lot more work on this, huh?
Thanks for sharing.
