Stop Killing Your Back with the Secret Power of Emotions: Stop Killing Your Back, #1

By Elena Adani

The author of this book reveals the "true causes of back pain" or rather, the most significant emotions that somatize in the lower, middle and upper back. Each of which has different psycho-physical characteristics. You'll discover what errors to avoid, and what tricks will help you face your back pain with success. But you'll especially discover how to free yourself from this pain in an all-natural way. You'll take a quick dive into the inner workings of the brain and human body and will see how emotions can activate various physiological processes that can modify the structure of cells. Through self-awareness exercises, you'll get to know yourself and your back and learn to better manage the ways your "emotions" have compromised your health up until now. By reading stories about the author's past as well as some stories about her clients, you'll discover how a seemingly unimportant event could actually be experienced and interpreted in a way that could create back problems. 

By changing simple mental patterns, abandoning old paradigms, and using new tools for self-analysis that the author provides you with, you'll begin your journey to getting rid of your back pain. In addition to guiding you on the journey to discovering the psychology of the spine, this book is an equally effective tool for embarking on a journey of personal growth, with the aim of improving every aspect of your life.

Elena Adani

I am a wellbeing professional and coach, my main passion is creating products and new strategies to improve the health and lives of people. I have always been a free spirit, driven by the desire to fight injustice. In fact, it is no coincidence that I was born in 1968, a year of great social and economic turmoil. I never lacked imagination and creativity. Ever since I was young, I would always ask myself the “why” of things, and over the years, I transformed my curiosity into a true passion for holistic health and personal development. It was difficult to face certain situations and come to grips with my negative emotions, low self-esteem, and tendency to hold others responsible for my problems. In fact, my back was my mind’s favorite part to somatize all my problems, especially for my subconscious. Thanks to coaching and my commitment to change my life, I was able to transform my suffering into acceptance and perfectly understand what was going on inside me. Since then I have begun helping people, because I finally felt it was one of my goals in life. This amazing change has allowed me even to improve my lifestyle and thoughts, and from that moment on I have only attracted good people into my life, including my husband, and increased my interest in natural techniques. Today, I am convinced that the mind and body are tightly connected, and that one lifetime is not enough to understand all the secrets the mind and human body hide.

INTRODUCTION

My name is Elena Adani and I am the creator of the Schiena Attiva ® system and the author of this book. For more than 25 years, back pain was part of my life every single day even though I did not do any type of hard labor and I never had any accidents or suffered any injuries. For a long time, I never asked myself why my back hurt every day. I was convinced it was hereditary, since my father and grandparents always had joint pain.  I was wrong.

Lifestyle, posture, diet and many everyday situations, especially the quality of our emotions, thoughts, and beliefs, play an important role in our health, more than you think.

It is a fact that physiology, anatomy, and the particular shape of each of our spines is unique and different from any other individual on this planet. That said, anatomy and physiology are important and cannot be ignored. I firmly believe that emotions, conscious and unconscious thoughts, and a person’s attitude in different situations, are fundamental for his/her physical and mental well-being. In my case, facing the emotions responsible for my backache and changing my beliefs was a life-changing achievement that allowed me to cure my lower back pain, which had by then lasted excessively long.

Today, I am no longer forced to wear heating pads, or make radical maneuvers to get out of bed, or use healing ointments. I no longer struggle to tie my shoes or do anything else. I can do exercises that, when I was 30 years old, were impossible for me.

In addition, with this feeling as a starting point, I have the pleasure of introducing the Schiena Attiva® (Active Back) system to you. It is a completely natural method of freeing yourself from back pain. It includes four different techniques: psychosomatics, flower remedies, exercise and detox. This winning mix of holistic disciplines will help you definitively change; it will get you used to thinking about your body as one with your mind, and help you make the first and most important first step towards wellbeing.

Understanding my emotions and attitudes, which prevented me from being happy, was the decisive step that finally stopped my back being unwell. In this book I’ll give you a psychosomatic view of your back, which will help you to discover why emotions are so important for the well-being of the spine, as is the most important and complex articulation of the human body, and requires the most attention.

So are you ready to start?

1  THE BEGINNING OF MY JOURNEY

This book explores the psychology of the back, paying attention to the emotions that, more frequently than not, build up in the lumbar, dorsal and cervical regions. 

In the first chapter of my book Be the hero of your life available for free on my site: www.lifenowacademy.com, you can read about the incredible positive psychological and physical transformation I went through when I decided to change the way I thought and felt. 

If you have seen the Star Wars saga, you will certainly remember the Dark side of the Force, a mental state made up of resentment, anger and hatred, which gave certain people great power. Although my back problems were also due to scoliosis and postural errors, emotions have always played a very important role. In my case, I internalized the less positive aspects of my personality, which somatized mainly in the lumbar area to create a true joint block. After not feeling well for ages, one day I realized that if I wanted to fix my backache once and for all, I would first have to face my dark side. I knew it would not be easy, but I felt like it was the only road to take.

Getting rid of the emotional baggage that was blocking my body and soul was anything but easy. I reached a point where I realized I would need a hand. Then I turned to a life coach, Andrea. He had his work cut out for him in helping me get rid of the behavior responsible for my psychophysical problems, to improve the way I related to others, and to eliminate my fears.  The coaching sessions with Andrea helped me get better. After each meeting, I felt like I was enveloped in physical and mental weightlessness.

Slowly but surely, I began to feel a sense of freedom that I had never felt before, which went hand in hand with the improvement of the condition of my back. I felt like a kind of invisible force had relieved it from the weight of the past, and from unnecessary attitudes that until then had made me unhappy. This radical change in my psychophysical condition intrigued me so much that I began studying psychosomatics (the connection between physical illness and the relative psychological cause).

I decided to investigate the deepest origins of back pain, reading many books and taking courses on natural therapies, naturopathy, and personal development.

My research, and my contact with people who had the same problems as me, convinced me that, any kind of malaise cannot be treated only with drugs or other kind of remedies. It is necessary to understand the person’s experiences, if he or she is going through difficult times, if he or she has suffered traumas such as grief or separation, if he or she does a stressful job, if he or she is happy or upset. Body and mind are tightly connected, so if you do not consider your emotions when you have a health trouble, let me
