Mind-Body Connections Revealed Through Iridology

All traditional systems of healing recognized the existence of constitutional types. That is, they recognized that people have inherited strengths and weaknesses that should be taken into consideration when formulating a plan for treating any problems they are struggling with. Traditional Western and Oriental constitutional types recognized that people with different constitutions were prone to different ailments and also had similar personality traits.

The connection between the physical health issues a person faces and their mental and emotional tendencies (or personality) is a critical component of working with people holistically. We cannot separate what we see in the physical body from the person’s attitudes and emotional state. To treat the whole person, we should always work with both.

Iridology validates the traditional idea of constitutional types and the connection between the spirit (mental and emotional state) and the health tendency of the body. All the patterns we observe in the iris indicate a tendency towards both physical health risks and personality traits. These personality traits can be manifest in either a positive or a negative way depending on how they choose to express their personality. As Ralph Waldo Emerson suggested in his essay, Compensation, "Our strength grows out of our weakness." In the same essay, Emerson also said, "Every excess causes a defect; every defect an excess.  Every sweet hath its sour; every evil its good." 

Along the same line, every pattern in the iris suggests both a weakness and a strength, a potential for illness and a potential for special gifts. This is what we'll be exploring in this class. We'll explore the various reaction fields or zones in the iris. We'll look at the organs and systems they represent and the mental and emotional issues that each section is also associated with. We'll talk about how these connections between body parts and mental-emotional states are expressed in our language, and we'll also talk about herbs and flower essences that can help people who have issues in each area.

The three sessions in this class will help you learn to work with people in a genuinely holistic way. It will teach you how to work with people on the level of their soul, not just on their body.  I look forward to sharing these insights with you.
