In the book, Wu Zhihong first mentioned this view:
The body is the mirror of the soul. If we are used to paying attention to our physical feelings and taking care of them from time to time, many diseases will not be caused by accumulation.
The whole book also uses a lot of psychological knowledge. The author has contacted many cases and combined with the views advocated by Zhang Defen and gilligan to deepen that "disease is an alarm issued by the body, and this alarm is often a subconscious response given by the mind." We need not only physical health, but also mental health. Only when the two are in harmony can we pursue real health.
In his book, Wu Zhihong emphasized that we should attach importance to the perception of the body and improve the connection between the body and the mind. After getting used to thinking with the brain, we need to break this way of thinking. After emptying yourself, don't look for the intuitive feeling of the body without any thoughts. This view is similar to "let children know the world with their bodies" in Montessori's "Educational Wisdom" read some time ago. In Montessori's educational philosophy, when a child bites a towel, don't stop it, but tell the child that the towel is soft; Don't stop children from biting toys. Tell children that toys are hard. The child's body will remember what is soft and what is hard when the body touches them.
For adults, because in the process of growing up, many educations are teaching us how to use our brains to process the received information and form our unique thinking in the process of processing. Over time, we will form our own game thinking. "Towels are soft toys or hard" is often the result of thinking, not physical perception.

In "The Body Know the Answer", Wu Zhihong mentioned the projection and recognition mentioned in "Why Love Hurts People": The so-called fate, according to the classic interpretation of psychology, is that we project the relationship model of childhood into the interpersonal relationship of adults, and as a result, fate becomes a boring cycle.
Why are you nervous during the exam? Why do you get sick every time you have to deal with important work? ..... Many times when we want to do something, it is a coincidence that we are uncomfortable, which is often not caused by seasonal changes or environmental problems. Maybe we need a rest, maybe we are in conflict with something, maybe we are going to a place we don't want to go at all.
When we are controlled by projection, the real thought in our hearts is to get rid of control, but when we project, we inadvertently choose to agree, so our bodies will feel uncomfortable. If we want to use this discomfort to get rid of this identity, in this process, we often focus on how to keep the other person from projecting on ourselves, but the harder we work, the more painful it will be. In order to avoid being controlled by the strong projection of the other party, it is extremely important not to pay too much attention to the other party, but to focus a considerable part of your attention on yourself, feel your body and heart, and keep the link between your body and heart. No matter what happens, draw your attention back to yourself first. At this time, the opponent's projection control will be greatly weakened.
Including when we start working in society as adults, when we encounter some problems, they are all ways to protect ourselves when we get along with parents and other adults when we are young. This point is also mentioned in other psychology books I read. For example, in procrastination psychology, the procrastination habit of adults is mentioned. The reason can be traced back to childhood, the family environment and family education given by parents. Procrastination will provide protection for young children and leave this protection in the body. When you step into the society several years later and encounter difficulties or challenges, this kind of protection hidden in your body will unconsciously jump out and continue to protect yourself.

Every disease is an expression. When we suppress something and don't let it show up at the psychological and spiritual levels, it will show up through the body. This is a disease of the body. It can be said that every symptom is part of saying' no' to ourselves, but we don't listen to this message, and it has to be expressed in a destructive way in the end.
Bella also said in an interview that she had a lot of things, great pressure and emotional instability for a while. Then I got sick. I can imagine that during that time, Bella's body was bound to have some small problems that made her uncomfortable at first, but at the same time she ignored these small problems because she didn't listen to the information sent by her body and eventually became breast cancer and told her in a destructive way.
"Cancer cells or depressed emotions."
We often admire those who persist in studying and working hard under the condition of physical discomfort. After reading the book "The Body Know the Answer", we realized how inappropriate it was to do so. Physical discomfort is a signal that I want to rest. If we feel that we can't give up studying at this time, we should go to work as a way to touch ourselves and others, but forget that it is also irresponsible to our bodies.
As for the knowledge of dream interpretation and energy field mentioned in the book, I still think this part is quite like metaphysics at present. The book provides some cases to prove its rationality, but it can still be seen that it lacks certain scientific basis.
After reading Wu Zhihong's second book, I found Wu Zhihong's books, which are mainly classified. Combine the psychological knowledge you have mastered, the books you have read and the cases you have come into contact with at work, and put them together to become a non-professional psychological book. Just use this book to properly popularize the public's understanding of psychology.
Following the contents of the book, I tried my best to recall my childhood. Every happy and unhappy thing I can remember is related to my advantages and disadvantages in the process of remembering now. The biggest gain from this book is that I began to try to empty myself, pay attention to the signals sent by my body, and decide to find the subconscious hidden in my body, and the relationship between the roots of these subconscious and my childhood. In this process, we try not to do any analysis and imagination, listen to the truest voice from the body and understand our real needs. Feel and adjust with a positive attitude, so that your body and mind can form a harmonious atmosphere.
