Mind-Body Connections Revealed Through Iridology

The connection between the physical health issues a person faces and their mental and emotional tendencies (or personality) is critical to helping people holistically. You cannot separate problems in the physical body from a person’s attitudes and emotional state. To heal holistically, you need to work with both.

Traditional systems of healing recognize that people have inherited strengths and weaknesses that need to be considered when treating any health problems. These inherited traits are organized into constitutional types that indicate which ailments someone is prone to and also what personality traits they might have.

Iridology demonstrates the idea of constitutional types and the connection between the spirit (mental and emotional state) and the health tendencies of the body. The patterns found in the iris indicate a tendency towards both physical health risks and personality traits. Every pattern in the iris suggests both a weakness and a strength, a potential for illness and a potential for special gifts.

In his essay, Compensation, Ralph Waldo Emerson suggested  "Every excess causes a defect; every defect an excess. Every sweet hath its sour; every evil its good." That is to say that these personality traits can manifest in either a positive or a negative way depending on circumstances.

By learning the different patterns in the iris you can learn to assess someone's constitutional tendencies and help them heal their weaknesses and manifest the positive aspects of their personality and health.

This at the core of what I'll be teaching in this class. Over the course of three sessions, we'll be looking at the various reaction fields or zones in the iris and what organs and systems, and mental and emotional issues they are associated with. In addition to understanding these iris patterns we'll talk about how the connections between body parts and mental-emotional states are expressed in everyday language. We'll also cover the herbs and flower essences that can help people with their constitutional tendencies.

This class will teach you to use iridology in an approachable manner and other techniques that will help you work with people in a genuinely holistic way. It will help you work with someone on the level of their soul, not just on their body. I look forward to sharing these insights into helping people heal holistically with you.
