Featuring: Deb Shapiro

By now, most of us are aware that the body-mind connection is a powerful one, and that it plays a huge role in determining our health and well-being. We know that emotions and thoughts give rise to biochemical phenomena and other dynamics that science is only beginning to fully comprehend. And increasingly, many of use are recognizing that our bodies do, in fact, express - in a complex language of symptoms, conditions and other responses - the experiences and reactions occurring in the farthest reaches of our hearts and minds. In this episode of Get a Whole Life, Pilar talks with mind-body authority Deb Shapiro, ahutor of Your Body Speaks Your Mind: Decoding the Emotional, Psychological and Spiritual Messages that Underlie Health, a book broadly hailed by scientific and medical experts.
