The Four Languages of Illness

For readers of The Body Says No and The Body Keeps the Score, globally recognized and revered energy healer Amy B. Scher makes the claim that like the famed book The 5 Love Languages, our bodies have four distinct languages it uses to communicate with us, and learning to understand and decipher those messages is the key to cutting through chronic illness.

Many of us are familiar with the concept that addressing emotional baggage such as trauma and stress supports the physical healing process. Now, bestselling author and energy healer, Amy B. Scher is helping readers uncover another layer to healing: decoding the messages their body is trying to send them through their illness. 

In The Wisdom of Illness, Scher shows readers why sometimes all the wonderful techniques, remedies, and self-healing practices out there only work superficially—and how to use her signature techniques to address the core message of their bodies. Amy introduces the four extraordinary languages of the body: Fatigue, Pain, Autoimmune Conditions, and Immune Deficiency. Then, she guides readers through journaling exercises, introspective tools, energy therapy techniques, healing scripts, and actionable items designed to address the message of an illness at its core.

The Wisdom of Illness shows how within the energy field of illness, we have the imprint of our past, present, and future. Getting well means paying attention to all three: where we are in the present moment, what’s happened in the past, and how we relate to—and connect with—our future.
