I too have heard that emotional blockages are causes for many illness.  I have degenerative disc disease which causes incredibly painful back spasms and have been working on healing.  In an article titled, "A Holistic Approach to Chronic Back Pain" by James T. Prado, D.C., he talks about the millions of people with this disease and other back aliments that feel no pain and the millions that do.  He is studying spinal disorders to find why some people hurt and others don't.  What he believes is that those with pain, but not all, suffer because of emotional suppression.  He says that people who are highly conscientious seem to have more back pain.  He believes these people take on more responsibilty at their own expense, giving more and neglecting themselves.  They may feel resentment and may suppress rage.  

I do believe that suppressed emotions cause illness, stress does incredible damage to the body and mind.  I have practiced healing meditations by Tulku Thondup with great success, also Shakti Gawain.  I look forward to working on techniques by Robert Bruce.

Btw, I am new here.  I use to come and read the forums but never posted.  This is a very interesting place.  []
