Is Well Self-Assessment Quiz
• 5 to 10 questions: Your heart, respiratory, or breast
problems might signal sadness, anxiety, or frustration

how to bounce back!

Something to Talk About—The Fifth Emotional Center:
Mouth, Neck, and Thyroid
If you answered yes to:
• 0 to 4 questions: Congratulations on your impressive
communication skills. You know how to express your
own needs and listen to the point of view of those
around you. You know yourself and how to be strong
and empathetic at the same time. Good for you.
• 5 to 8 questions: You have only the occasional
disagreement with friends, children, parents,

problems that will quickly help you reevaluate a

Suddenly I See—The Sixth Emotional Center: Brain,
Eyes, and Ears
If you answered yes to:
• 0 to 3 questions: How do you do it? You are one of
those rare individuals who was born with a stable
mind-set and doesn’t tend to struggle with the
unknown. Call it faith. Or call it traveling through
life on autopilot. It doesn’t matter. You’ve learned
not to struggle, and you gracefully adapt to the
changes in life. Your health problems are probably
not to be found in the brain, eyes, and ears.
• 4 to 8 questions: You have only the occasional
problem struggling with pessimism and narrow-
mindedness about the future. However, an inner
voice eventually tells you that your mind is not
your friend. And the headache, dry eyes, or bout of
dizziness that occurs when you are in a pessimistic
funk will soon get your attention and force you to
look at your world with a healthier perspective.

about this in Chapter 9.
