The body is intimately connected to the mind and the spirit. Each physical symptom reflects a deeper part of our spirit or consciousness, the part the Western traditions know as the "unconscious" or "subconscious." When we make a decision that leaves us with stress, it affects our consciousness and therefore our energy field, our aura. Once the tension increases to a certain degree of intensity, it reaches the physical level where it creates a symptom. If we, however, make a different decision or change our mind about something, we can let go again of this stress, and thereby of the symptom. The symptom itself is not the problem, just a message that, once understood, has fulfilled its purpose and can be released. Integrating Martin Brofman's more than 30 years of research and healing practice, The Inner Cause comprises an A to Z compendium of 800 symptoms and a psychology of their inner causes, the messages they are trying to send to our consciousness. Woven into the descriptions of symptoms, the author discusses personality profiles associated with certain symptoms derived from his understanding of the chakras, the energy flow, and the body/mind interface, on the basis of which he developed his Body Mirror System of Healing. He explains that when you explore the inner cause to a symptom, you recognize that you have created this symptom through the stressed way you chose to respond to the conditions in your life. By understanding what a symptom conveys, you become empowered to take charge and effect change on the inner level. The author explores the underlying message of the symptoms discussed, which chakras are involved, how you may be affected, and which issues you might need to look at to resolve the tension or stress - although a specific solution will always depend on the individual's personal situation. With its correlation of symptoms and psychological states of being The Inner Cause provides invaluable insight into how we can effectively support our healing process physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
