Hey friend,
Can we have a real moment here?
So often, we think our physical ailments are just random things that happen to us.
“I’m just getting older.”
“It runs in my family.”
“I’ve always had bad digestion… or joint pain… or high blood pressure.”
You can fill in the blank.
But what if those symptoms weren’t random at all?
What if they weren’t punishments, but permissions—invitations, really—to take a deeper look at what needs to change?
I’ve gotta tell you… when I first discovered the work of Louise Hay, my mind was blown. She taught that every physical ailment has an emotional root. Every. Single. One. And when I started applying this lens—not only to myself but to the hundreds of clients I’ve worked with—I saw the connection every time.
For example, Louise connects lower back pain with fear around money and financial support.
Throat issues? Often tied to not speaking your truth.
Digestive issues? Difficulty “digesting” life or holding on to fear and anxiety.
(You can explore her work in more detail in You Can Heal Your Life or check out her list of ailments and emotional causes here).
It’s truly fascinating how the body and mind are always in conversation. And when we don’t listen to our emotions, the body starts talking louder—through symptoms and discomfort.
I also weave in Chinese Medicine in my practice, and this ancient wisdom supports the same idea. For thousands of years, Chinese medicine has used facial mapping to understand what’s going on internally.
Breakouts on your forehead? May relate to digestion and gut health.
Puffiness or darkness under the eyes? Kidneys and adrenal fatigue.
Deep lines between the eyebrows? Often linked to suppressed anger or frustration.
(Here’s a great intro to facial mapping if you want to dive in: Can You Use Face Mapping to Improve Your Skin’s Health?).
It all leads back to this powerful truth:
The body follows the mind, and the mind follows the emotional patterns of your past.
So when we hold on to emotional pain—whether it’s resentment, guilt, sadness, or fear—and replay it over and over in our minds, it’s not just mental.
Those emotions create chemicals in the body. And over time, those chemicals weaken tissues and contribute to dis-ease.
Think about that for a second.
Your past emotions, if left unprocessed, can literally shape your physical future.
But here’s the empowering part:
If those emotions can make us sick… they can also lead us to healing—when we choose to feel, release, and reprogram them.
You are not a victim of your genetics or your age. You are the author of your healing.
And the moment you take back that power, things begin to shift.
Now, if you want to go even deeper, I highly recommend exploring the work of Dr. Joe Dispenza. He’s done incredible research showing how emotions, thoughts, and heart coherence affect not only our own health but the energy of those around us.
One of my favorite pieces of his work is around heart-brain coherence, where people in a shared space can actually support each other’s healing on an energetic level. Yes—just being in a room with someone who is emotionally aligned and heart-centered can help your body regulate.
(You can read more on this here: Coherence Healing – Dr. Joe Dispenza).
We are energetic beings.
Our thoughts matter.
Our emotions matter.
And healing isn’t just about what you eat or how much you move—it’s about what you believe, feel, and carry within you every single day.
So let me ask you:
Where might your body be trying to get your attention?
What emotion are you holding onto that your physical body is now expressing?
You’re not broken.
You’re being guided.
And when we choose to listen with love and curiosity, that’s when true healing begins.
With love and deep belief in your power,
Dr. Anna Marie 💛
