Introduction

This e-book is for anyone who's interested in having a more peaceful relationshipwith their body. I believe it's possible for

everyone

to have peaceful, lovingfeelings about their body, and to experience a sense of total well-being. In fact, I believe this is our natural state; it's just that many of us have learned otherwise andhave developed adversarial relationships with our bodies.In my work as a Body Joy Coach, I help people with chronic illnesses, chronic pain, and weight issues to develop more peaceful relationships with their bodies.The primary tool I use to assist people in this process is EFT (Emotional FreedomTechniques), which is a simple yet powerful tool that anyone can easily learn.

Why the focus on peace?

If you have heard about EFT at all, you may have heard stories about somesurprising, almost miraculous results that EFT has produced. While there are manyexamples of what we call "one-minute wonders" using EFT, most issues are notresolved this quickly. If you have been struggling to lose weight for 20 years, it'snot likely you will suddenly lose 50 pounds after a one hour session of EFT. Mostof the time, patience and persistence are required for EFT to work well on thesesorts of issues. It's difficult to be patient and persistent if you are not at peace. Infact, in order for EFT to work well, it is important that you are not trying to "force"something to happen; you need to be able to relax and let whatever happens,happen.If you are not feeling peaceful about your body, this also inhibits the healing process. "What we resist, persists"; if you are feeling angry, resentful, depressed,or any other negative emotion towards your body, those emotions are notconducive to the feeling of well-being that is necessary for healing to take place.Peace creates space for well-being to flow. It is possible to experience this peaceno matter what might be "wrong" with your body right now.
