Why do we have sickness, pains, and diseases?
I know and believe strongly that we are here on Earth to progress and learn how to be happy.1 God allows us to experience sickness, pains, and disease to help us grow and progress towards happiness.2
If God is a loving, kind, intelligent Father, then He wouldn’t torment us just for the sake of it and especially NOT simply for His own pleasure. God cries with us when we suffer.3 God wants us to have everything He has and be everything He is. He can give us things but we must put forth the effort to become who He is now. He allows us opportunities to LEARN to choose for ourselves.4
I learned that the physical body helps us to be more self-aware and self-disciplined. Our physical body can communicate ways we can change and improve ourselves. As we live life more intentionally, we can quickly change the subconscious beliefs and thoughts from chaos to creation. We can create more light, love, and greatness. As children of God, our body possesses a compass-like abilty to help us become more God-like.
Our Body is Our Spiritual Compass
Our body is our spiritual compass. This instructive energy stems from the heart. When we anchor our heart in God, we will have a natural affinity towards love, light and infinite power. If we let it, our body can lead us to joy and alignment with our higher purpose! Our body will guide us and help us make course corrections as we journey forward in this life.
Understand and act on the messages your body is sending to you and you will find more love, light, and healing. Our Heavenly parents makes sure that we have all the help we need to be successful.
Our body is a gift! It’s a temple of light. 5
The body houses our spirit. We’ve been taught that the body is a temple. A temple is a place for God’s spirit to dwell. Our body wants love, light and power. It is in the body that we can experience the fullness of joy.
“For man is spirit. The elements are eternal, and spirit and element, inseparably connected, receive a fulness of joy; And when separated, man cannot receive a fulness of joy.”
—Doctrine & Covenants 93:33-34
Our body is made of the same material as our spirit.6 The body is just denser matter. This is important because all things start in the spirit. What happens in the spirit will show eventually up in the body. When we are still and aware of our body we can understand how to change. And everything it is telling us to do has to do with realigning ourselves spiritually. It makes change so much easier. We don’t need to think too hard or wonder endlessly.
Ultimately the information we get will help us find our JOY and Happiness!
How can the Literal Language of the Body help you?
Remember, every imbalance has a reason. There are always reasons for our discomfort, disease, and distress. It all points back to our misaligned thoughts and beliefs. When we change our beliefs our physical world will improve.
Ask yourself what does that body part or organ do on a physical level? It is doing that same thing on an emotional and spiritual level too.
The best reference book I know for this is Feelings Buried Alive Never Die by Karol K. Truman. Every family should have a copy of this book in their home. Look up the problem and this book will tell you what the emotions are underneath it all.
I know what you may be thinking…what about accidents etc. We can be physically injured and hurt by environmental situations like car accidents etc. because of no fault of our own. Even if we were hurt by external situations, we can still clear negative energies in those areas to assist in faster and more complete recovery. Even in so called ‘accidents,’ we have to look for patterns and be open to the possibility that we may be partially responsible for creating the situation too.
Non coincidence example #1: Football injury
A lady name Laura Jacobs shared a story about her son injuring his finger playing football. It could seem like an accident but he looked up what the emotions are relating to that finger, then found the oil to resolve the emotion that related to the finger.
Non coincidence example #2: Accident magnet
I grew up in Australia. My friend in high school who I will call Mia (not her real name), was known as the ‘accident prone girl.’ During lunch, a group of 5-6 girls would sit in a circle in the playground eating lunch together. Very often something would happen to Mia especially during gatherings like lunch. An example was, a basket ball hit her one day and not any of her friends. Another day, she decided to move from her usual spot in the playground to avoid accidents. Right after she moved, a bird pooped on her head! Later on that year, our grade went camping. We were canoeing and our canoe tipped over. We all went into the water. Mia not only went into the water but her bottom hit a pointy rock! She has a belief that bad things happen to her and not to others, so things like that happen to her often. Is it sheer bad luck? Sometimes bad things to all of us but it seems that Mia had more than her share. Maybe if she changed her belief, she might attract more positivity.
Passive Health Approach Example #3
I know many people who eat super healthy and try to take care of their health as best as they can. Some of these friends still suffer from awful health problems. Even the healthiest foods can disagree with people when they are not in alignment with their higher self. When people complain that their body won’t absorb certain nutrients, it is usually because they are not able to receive love and nurturing. Even if they go to all the doctors and specialists in the world or take the highest quality supplements in the world, their body will act nutritionally deficient. When they intentionally choose to change and receive love and security on a spiritual level, they are able to remarkably absorb nutrients again.
Mark 7:18-23 “All these evil things come from within, and defile the man…”
Emotion is Energy
Emotion are chemicals and electric pulses in the body. E-motions are energy in motion. Candace Pert, PdD a neuroscientist and pharmacologist discovered amazing links to the mind and body. She discovered what triggers the production of neuropeptides that is in charge of different physiological changes in our body.7 Louise Hay, Karol Truman, Bruce Lipton and many more pioneers in mind and body connection has produced large bodies of works on this topic.
If you think this is new to you, think about this. Do you know people who are or have been stressed and worried? Maybe that person was you. What happens when they maintain that stress and worry too long? Their body gets sick right? We haven’t been taught to read the sickness or disease as our body communicating with us.
The negative emotion is negative energy. It causes sickness or disease. Positive emotions is positive energy. It creates wellness and healing.
Literal Language of the Body, the Scriptures, Essential Oils, & Change
The scriptures record the Literal Language of the Body all the time. Remember the idea is to identify false beliefs and thoughts and then change them into good positive supportive ones that help you realign to your higher self again. We can take the clues from what emotions we are holding onto and find essential oils to help uphold us as we remove the old limiting ‘weed’ thinking and nurture a new ‘seed’ of positivity.
The answers to our health and happiness problems comes from within. We all need to let go of that victim mentality and master ourselves.
No man is free who is not master of himself.
~Epictetus
Everything has a spiritual version of the physical version. What we do on one level will affect the other level.8 9
How to Identify & Resolve Issues?
Let’s start from the top of the body and work downwards. Energetically we ought to work from the bottom up like a tree. The lower chakras need to be resolved first for the higher chakra’s to hold strong. Essential oils help us by lending us its intelligence.
Right Side: Masculine side, giving, work/career concerns
Left Side: Feminine side, receiving, nurturing, family concerns
Head: Our head is for thinking and processing. Sometimes when we think too much, our head hurts. We are unable to resolve something in our minds. The pain is an internal conflict of WILL. The conflict is the brain looking for answers and the subconscious believes you aren’t smart enough to find answers. The other conflict is you are relying too heavily on your ‘own limited understanding’ and controlling the outcome.10
- Solutions: Get out of your own head and into your heart. Turn to God for guidance. Trust your heart and gut. What was your initial inspiration before you over-thunk all this? Let go of your ways and be open to new possibilities.11
- Essential Oils: Frankincense & Lavender for overthinking. It will unwind the wound up mind. Peppermint for brain that is sluggish. Cardamom helps you take yourself out of the situation so you can see things from a different perspective.
- New Thoughts & Beliefs to Adopt: “I am smart enough. Heavenly Father will guide me. I have Faith and quickly act on my heart’s promptings. Understanding will come after I act in faith. I release the need to know everything first before I act.”
Neck: The neck turns the head in different directions to see things in different perspectives. Neck problems is about being stubborn, inflexible, unyielding and “Refusing to see other sides of a question.” (You can Heal Your Life, Louise Hay) When we change our current focus, we will see that life is more comfortable and moves with ease and flow.
“And I did it because I knew that thou art obstinate, and thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow brass;” (1 Ne 20:4)12

15…and their eyes they have closed;…lest at any time they should see with their eyes,(Matt 13:15)13
- Solutions: Unattach your happiness to all material objects and situations. Choose to change the ‘lenses’ of your eyes to see positive supportive examples of love, acceptance and spirituality. Ask, “Will this matter in the eternities?” “What is this person’s spiritual potential?”

- Solutions: We are asked to “Bear ye one another’s burdens”15 but we are not asked to OWN another’s burdens. This means you have to be careful not to take away the responsibility of choice from the other person. They are responsible and accountable for their own choices. Sort out what your responsibilities are and what are not yours. Giving people back their responsibilities helps them develop their ability of self-awareness. If people want to ‘dump’ their ‘burdens’ on you, hand it back and tell them you are confident that they have the ability to resolve it. Perhaps they can be guided and pointed in the right direction at the beginning but all of us will never be tried beyond our ability to manage. Ask God to help you carry out your responsibilities well. With God and Angels helping you, you will carry your burdens with ease.

For other issues: please reference the book Feelings Buried Alive Never Die by Karol Truman, You Can Heal Your Life by Louise Hay or other similar books. The idea is to work out what that organ or body part does and apply that knowledge to the spiritual level. Take the clues from the emotions to discover the misaligned thoughts and beliefs.
Words Of Comfort & Gauging Levels Of Success
God is more interested in our progression than our perfection. We are not expected to be perfect now. Take one issue at a time and be happy with whatever progression you make.
As you can see that the problem with all the problems is a disconnect from your energy and light source, God. Disconnection causes darkness, fear, lack of self-love, lack of direction & purpose, depression, hopelessness and other negative emotions.
The solution is reconnect to our energy source. Recognizing the connection to energy source helps us feel love, light and power again. This is basically keeping the first commandment which is to love God with our all.17 Love from God will help you feel that you are ENOUGH. It will fill that void and you’ll not need to want more. He will fill your cup so you thirst no more. You are satisfied in yourself and your existence when you are filled with God’s love and light.
This never-ending infinite love and light will lead you to feeling joy. Which makes it easy for you to love yourself and others more fully. Thus fulfilling the two greatest commandments. Everything else in life will fall into place when you’ve got these two commandment down!
Use the essential oil’s positive energy to help you hold onto these changes and reminding you to realign over and over.
You will know when you have resolved a certain issue when your physical body is well again. That pain is relieved or that tension is replaced with soft relaxed muscles.
The goal of all this effort is to find true lasting JOY!
If you are still not experiencing the joy then you still have a little more work to do to realign. Be grateful for your body and it’s guidance. We overcomplicate some things too much when it doesn’t have to be. We often look beyond the mark. Many of the solutions are simple yet profound.
