Most people now recognize the interconnection among physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health. Much like the string of Christmas lights that goes dark when one bulb burns out, if an imbalance exists on any plane it eventually becomes imbalanced, or "dis-eased" on other levels. Generally, the imbalance exists first on the spiritual plane, and left unchecked allows illness to take hold and spread. 

It's no secret that eating properly, drinking plenty of water and getting the proper amounts of exercise and sleep make staying physically healthy easier. Yet those steps alone are not enough to maintain good physical condition without being accompanied by spiritual, mental and emotional health as well. The body itself give clues as to the nature of the imbalance that manifests itself on the physical plane.

Generally, in right-handed people the right side of the body is positively- charged, projective masculine energy and the left is negatively-charged,  receptive, feminine energy. The opposite is true of left-handers. While obviously not true in every case, disorders occurring on one side of the body refer to that gender. For instance, in a right-handed person, a weakness on the right side would indicate issues dealing with men. The location of that weakness reveals the nature of the emotional or spiritual dis-ease.
