possible contributors to her back pain, we
identified her shoes as a problem. She was wearing cheap shoes
with no cushioning or support, so we recommended that she in-
vest in better shoes—FitFlops, Nike Shox, and Asics Gel all help
provide padding under the feet.
Over time, thanks to exercise and physical therapy, Helen no-
ticed that even losing 10 pounds relieved a lot of pressure in her
lower back. Surgeons note that for every 10 pounds of weight we
gain we put 40 pounds of pressure on our joints. Helen followed
her medical team’s suggestions and lost a total of 25 pounds and
could not believe the difference. Once her physician said it was
safe, she began a regular yoga practice, which helped keep her
spine flexible and strong.
We worked with her specifically to figure out what behavioral
and thought modifications could help, asking her to make a list of
all the risk factors that promote lower-back pain and put a check-
mark next to the ones that applied to her. While we couldn’t
change things like genetic heritage or age, we could focus on her
day-to-day activities and habits.
We discussed the importance of giving up smoking and keep-
ing an eye on her depression. She decided to volunteer at her
church—both as a youth group leader and a helper at the soup
kitchen. She also started to journal in an effort to bring perspec-
tive to a number of chaotic situations in her life. To address the
underlying beliefs that were making her ill, she started using the
affirmations for various back- and hip-related issues. She focused
on general back health (I know that Life always supports me);
lower-back problems (I trust the process of life. All I need is always
taken care of. I am safe); general hip health (Hip Hip Hooray—
there is joy in every day. I am balanced and free); hip problems
(I am in perfect balance. I move forward in life with ease and
with joy at every age); and slipped disk (Life supports all of my
thoughts; therefore, I love and approve of myself and all is well).
Helen worked with all of these methods, and she was able to
bring her life to a wonderful, flexible, pain-free place.

All Is Well in the Second Emotional Center
People try to handle bladder problems, reproductive issues,
and lower-back and hip pain by taking drugs or subjecting their
bodies to surgery. In some acute cases this may turn out to be the
most prudent course of action. But with more chronic illnesses
and dysfunction, you may need to investigate other remedies.
In this chapter, we have explored the many ways you can cre-
ate health in the second emotional center using a combination of
medicine, your body’s intuition, and affirmations.
When you learn to identify and examine the messages your
body is sending you, you will be on your way to true healing.
By balancing your attention to money and love relationships,
you can remove the stressors that aggravate this health region.
Acknowledge the negative thoughts and behaviors having to do
with sexual identity, financial ability, and love and relationships.
Then use Louise’s affirmations to counter the negative thoughts in
these areas and establish new thought patterns and behaviors by
meditating on the phrases “I trust the process of life,” “I know that
Life always supports me and takes care of me,” and “I am lovable
and loved.”
You are worthy of love. All is well.
