Your Body Speaks Your Mind

Most of us are aware that the mind-body [reverse to match dek?] connection is a powerful one, and that it plays a huge role in determining our health and well-being. In this episode, Gerasimo and Shapiro talk about Your Body Speaks Your Mind: Decoding the Emotional, Psychological and Spiritual Messages that Underlie Health, a book broadly hailed by scientific and medical experts. Shapiro explains, in both scientific and psycho-emotional terms, the dynamics that make this connection so powerful — how our emotions and thoughts give rise to biochemical phenomena and other dynamics that science is only beginning to fully comprehend.  Shapiro and her husband, Ed, have been leading retreats and personal-development programs for over 25 years, and are the authors of 15 books. They have hosted their own top-rated TV series and they author the “Daily Chillout” messages for Sprint cell phones. Learn more about Shapiro’s work at www.edanddebshapiro.com.
