Blockages, in addition to emotionally challenging situations will most lead limiting beliefs and behaviors and inability to live life harmoniously (The Energy Therapy Center). All negative emotions are felt through a disruption of the body?s energy. And physical pain and disease are intricately connected to negative emotions. Health problems create feedback ? physical symptoms cause emotional distress, and unresolved emotional problems manifest themselves through physical symptoms. So, the body?s health must be approached as a whole. You cannot treat the symptoms without addressing the cause, and vice-versa (The Tapping Solution). The Tapping Solution and Betty Moore-Hafter both confirmed focusing on fears and anxiety. Basically you need to focus on the negative emotion that is bothering you, whether it is a fear, anxiety, bad memory or unsolved problem. ?While maintaining your mental focus on this issue, use your fingertips to tap 5-7 times each on 12 of the body?s meridian points.

It is important for the body to feel pain because nerve cells let out pain signals to indicate something is wrong. It is also important for the body to feel emotions so the person can feel the tendencies to run for their life or a sense of importance. As a result, these physical qualities of the body can allow unhappiness when one feels too much pain that is unbearable, or when one cannot sleep because they are too stressed. The second way the body brings unhappiness is through the sense of beauty, where “beauty presents itself to [people’s] sense and [peoples] judgment” (Freud 53). People’s sense of beauty to themselves or others is perceived through their own

For instance, by engaging in meditation, you start noticing minute things such as the noise of dry leaves through gentle breeze in the backyard, the tweeting of birds in the bush, the sound of raindrops as they hit ground and the smell emanating from it, the sensation of warmth caressing your skin, the cry, of a baby, etc. We further in studying the various type of

Present in all of mankind, and every species in the animal kingdom, is the innate concept of war; the existence of good and evil and power and inferiority disturb our natural instinct of survival. Like Water for Chocolate is set during the Mexican Revolution, where life on the De la Garza ranch mimics life for the renegades. The author, Laura Esquivel, wrote this novel expounding her interpretation of war by providing a clear definition for the single most powerful and complex human tendency. This is accomplished through the three major themes of freedom, violence, and tradition. When pressure and heat are applied directly to a people, the natural response is to form an emotionally intense need, stronger than any desire or want, that can be
