Dr. Puri dives into appreciating the value and function of our feelings. This starts with banishing the idea that we have no control and recognizing that we DO have a self-healing potential. Often when we think of our body, we are breaking it up physically into the GI tract, or the brain, or the eye, or the heart, and we connect those together to form theories and treatment patterns we need to heal or treat disease. Dr. Puri takes this further and defines the other aspects of our being that can lead to illness; Physical Body, Emotional Body, Mental Body, Spiritual Body (Body, Heart, Mind, Soul).
