Well, I don't usually read books like this but I've been struggling with anxiety/panic disorder for years and I finally started seeking counseling as an alternative to the medication I've been on. This book was recommended by my therapist. So far I'm finding some help in its pages, but I have to say this book could have used a more stringent editor as far as grammar and hyphen use go. :)

I refer back to this book on a very regular basis. Truman point or purpose in this book is that every diss-ease has been created by a blocked or out of alignment emotion. Emotion is much like ego or addictive thinking. When the blockage is delt with and released the disease or pain in the body leaves. She breaks down several diseases and simple aches and pains and write the possible blockages. That is why I refer to the book so often is for friends and family to tell them the possible emoti...more
What I especially liked about this book is how the author covered the entire gamut of aspects of our feelings from generational, DNA, experiential, outside trauma, plus mind/body/spirit and more. She includes a "Script" on page page 95 for self-healing. I typed out a modified copy for myself and pasted it below. I just started using the "Script" and don't have any results to report at this time. I do think that this is a good book to scan to get a sense of the big picture...more
In the end, science is finally corroborating the fact that love for oneself and for others, as well as forgiveness and letting go create health. Truman's book is in its 13th printing--a classic in the field of awareness of how physical health and mental/emotional patterns that we hold interrelate. Not particularly well written, but chapter 4 is a good overview of Truman's thinking, and the the tables in chapter 17 on types of feelings and chapter 18 on the causes of illness are food for thought ...more
Oh my, horrible book.
First of all, the lack of editing was horrendous. There were mix-ups between "its" and "it's," capitalizing of letters to stress a point, weird misspellings . . .
Secondly, the book seemed to claim one thing and then immediately jump to something else without realizing that the one refuted the other.
Third, once I got to the book's trick to unburying feelings, I just laughed out loud. It seemed so quacky, I wondered why...more

We are all spiritual beings searching to obtain a state of perfection that is already present in us but blocked by the fall of man. We live in a fallen world and we deal with a continual battle within. The battle exists between choosing to resist change and ignore the feelings that stem from our experiences or being mindful of the feelings and listening deeply to the thoughts that have produced the feelings in the first place. When we ignore our feelings, we live in a state of double-mindedne...more
This is one of the most remarkable books I have ever read. It discusses the interplay of and the effect that feelings, thoughts and emotions have upon our beings; that we are what we feel and think; that our feelings, thoughts and words become self-fulfilling prophecies. The author suggests that in many cases, if not most, our unresolved feelings [negative feelings] lead to disease (dis-ease) in our bodies and often account for the ailments (however serious) which beset us. The author also se...more

I'm going through a rough patch in my life, and a dear friend (who has been through MUCH worse & has thrived)lent me a copy of this book. It's a little bit new-age/deepak chopra-esque, which I'm not entirely comfortable with, but I tried to read it with a completely open mind and now I'm so glad I read it. The author takes you through a script, that helps you dig out negative feelings (anger, hate, guilt, resentment, rejection/abandonment/need for approval, overwhelmed burden) from the past/pres...more
One of the earlier books that I read when I began searching for answers to health issues in my life, this book created a foundation for a different way of thinking about health issues. What we tell ourselves influences our health tremendously. This book gets you started down the path of discovering and changing your sometimes unconscious thoughts that are connected with dis-ease in your life.

Hmmm...I just really don't know what to make of this book.
I appreciate the overall concept of dealing with our feelings and in correcting erroneous negative thoughts by replacing them with positive affirmations. But, the wording of "The Script" (her outline for identifying negative thoughts and replacing them with an opposite thought) is very strange to me personally. I could not identify with it.

I haven't finished this yet, but it's full of things that are speaking to me now. It's taken me a long time to read it because I had to digest it a piece at a time. It's starting to come together for me. At least the pieces I need to worry about right now.

I remember reading and re-reading the senseless words. By the end i could only grasp at the idea of actually discerning between a feeling and a thought, let alone process how emotion is the effect of them and not the cause. The book goes into a script meditation that I never got around to. It took me years just to make practical use of the foundational concepts but maybe I'm just that hard headed. This book was Heavenly Father throwing me a big meaty bone, I'm still chewing on it.
Book club choice for May. This is why I'm in book club because this is a book I wouldn't have picked up on my own. I thought there were some really good things about this book and I thought there were some things that were a little hard to swallow. I appreciate that this was chosen so I could read something about how positive thinking, feelings, words, and actions help our lives become better. I even tried "the script" out a couple of times and found value in it (especially with po...more
Read with a grain of salt of course, you have to when reading "quacky stuff". There is a lot to learn from this information. But it's not an approach many of us are used to.
I still find the information valuable. Like, finding out how to release negative feelings and how to change them to be something that benefits us. All good.
I would only recommend this to certain people in fear that some may think I'm a quack for suggesting it.

I do agree that suppressed feelings and emotions can cause ailments, but I don't believe that every physical problem is a result of this. I think there are plenty of exterior influences that can cause an illness that have nothing to do with ones feelings. I did appreciate the main sentiment though; one should never bury alive ones emotions, believing they will die if neglected.
Book Club book for May-I learned a lot from this book. I already had a great deal of background knowledge about this subject from reading several other books that she actually lists at the back of her book as recommended reading. I have been using "I am" statements since reading Remembering Wholeness by Carol Tuttle. After reading Achieving the Balance I began creating a Life Creed which is a set of these statements specifically created to change my thinking and therefore my life. ...more

The book begins literally "in the beginning." IN that instant that life is created, the single sperm that penetrates the egg and viola : life! One of the first ideas that really made sense for me was the realization that even at conception -- the developing embryo can feel & those "feelings" are recorded at a molecular level.

An interesting book that takes the suggest that emotional issues are related to physical issues/manifestations. I appreciated the idea and insight that our first traumatic experience may have occurred at birth. The process of birth (if you think about it) is so huge for that little baby --- especially after being in a such a warm and protected place. Being exposed to light, cold, and detachment from mom can certainly be huge. I wasn't too comfortable with the script/affirmations. But there m...more
I no longer have hardly any migraines because of this book! I had been through 10 medications, a couple of doctors, a chiropractor, and homopathic treatment all to no avail. This book is life-changing and will have a tremendous impact on your health if you read it with an open mind. It was a direct answer to prayer for me.
very interesting ideas. some of the science was really interesting, but I don't think enough of the ideas were supported by science. which is fine, but seems more like theorizing. The applicable principles were helpful though--you can sift between them for the version of practice you like.
I refer back to this book all the time. The basic concept is that Truman believes every disease we have stems from the emotional rather than the physical. She tries to give you a different perspective on things(and some affirmations), to help you get past these feelings that are acting as a sort of cancer to your body. A lot of it does get spiritual, but if you can get past that and keep reading, there are a lot of really good points in this book. My copy is underlined and highlighted all over t...more
It's okay as a healing reference for ways that buried feelings might manifest in other ways. But as a read, it is very clunky and even mildly abrasive (for instance, excessive use of ALL CAPS). It also really needed a good editor (lots of typos, etc.).
This book has been life-changing for me. I have truly loved it, though a lot of it is hard to take at first. The more I read, the more I loved it. a chapter or two later it all started to make sense.
The premise of the book is that negative feelings that we harbor can have detrimental effects on us physically, emotionally, spiritually, etc. The book introduces an approach to help us resolve these negative feelings. These feelings often block us from achieving what we really want in l...more

I read this book a few years back and it helped me greatly. It has a script in it that you use to help change from the inside...it works :) I am reading this book again due to recent issues that have come up personally.

I learned a great deal about my health in its connection to emotionals and experiences from my past. It has been an important tool to help in my pursuit to overcome serious health issues. I have loved this book!
I loved this book!!! I think everyone should read it. It really helped me see things in a different light and made me think about the way I think on a daily basis.
I love letting old, bad feelings go. This book was a great help for me. I finally got through the whole thing. I have used it more as a reference book.
An amazing resource to tap into our own healing from the very essence of our being! I didn't want to put it down and I will read and reread it to apply what I learned in a way that seems right for me.
