are you ready for true health? 25
Indeed, I know the truth of this because I experienced a very
personal awakening to the emotional and spiritual underpinnings
of physical disease.
Despite my knowing that mental, emotional, and spiritual
issues can create physical disease when left unattended, I appar-
ently needed a wake - up call to understand this more fully in my
own life. At that time, I believed that because I followed a semi -
vegetarian diet and was a triathlete, I would avoid ill health. But
I soon learned just how intimately connected physical health was
to my emotional, mental, and spiritual state.
I awoke one New Year ’ s Day crippled from head to toe, which
transformed my life in an instant. Although my recovery required
nine months of inner healing and included all of the techniques
described in the four levels of healing (plus some extras you ’ ll
fi nd in chapter 7 ), the growth, gifts, and rewards I found in this
gestational period were worth every ounce of the pain I suffered.
