We all have our unique perceptions of life and ways of expressing ourselves. Anyway, it seems to me that we all sooner or later are facing the same existential emotions such as fear, anxiety, desire, anger, loss, shame, guilt, pride and more. In this way, we are very much alike. These emotions may be suppressed, or we may not be aware of them being at play. If we get too identified with these emotions and our beliefs about them, then they may contribute to illness and diseases.

 The book also represents a paradigm shift, from regarding the body as a mechanical entity towards regarding ourself as an energetic entity in a coherent energetic system. The communication in the body and with the surroundings is a constant ongoing process. It goes beyond the mindset of believing in “one cause-and-effect” explanation for symptoms to occur and healing to take place, revealing that, there are many ways to get healed. Symptoms are messages that may be understood and rarely “enemies” that must be removed, although it may be a great relief for a while. This approach offers an understanding of how the symptom could make sense to the person. We can still choose to relieve the symptoms in different ways while looking at it from within, where it arose from the very beginning. Several approaches are possible at the same time. It is about listening to our heart and trust life and the body's healing abilities, and acknowledging that every challenge also is a gift.

  Finally, this book is divided into four parts. Part I illuminates some concepts that have been used more or less deterministic in terms of our health, and in turn, these concepts have contributed to a rather deterministic way of relating to diseases. It is concepts like evidence, inheritance, survival, quality of life, communication, resistance 

  and responsibility. Part II offers some different approaches to healing. Part III describes some specific symptoms and conditions, such as stress, depression, auto immune diseases, addiction, trauma, dementia, skin disorders, high blood pressure and more, in order to bring an understanding of the body and mind as a coherent and ever-changing system. Where applicable and appropriate, I include descriptions of my own case story, as well as others, to demonstrate how a more holistic approach can be used in daily life. Part IV describes a practical approach to healing, and offers a vision for our common health care.
