Blaming the Victim - BCTF
"When things are going wrong in a country, fearful individuals look for people to blame for the troubles of the time. When some people see poor people standing in lines at welfare offices or panhandling for money on street corners, they see these poor people as a problem. Rather than think about why such poverty is occurring in our country, they blame the poor themselves for the poverty crisis. This is called scapegoating, and it is something like blaming a weather forecaster for bad weather...Scapegoating is a system of control by the powerful. It increases fear. It turns person against person. It blames the victim. It avoids serious analysis of the problem, and it directs hatred toward powerless minority groups...."

Blaming the Victim: Why We Do It and How We Can Stop - Vibration Magazine
"It seems like an almost universal trait to blame victims for their plight. Rape victims are often accused of enticing their attacker, sex abuse victims are made to feel somehow responsible for the abuse, and people who are mugged are told they took foolish chances. Many victims confide that the ways they were treated by the authorities, their mate or lover, family or friends afterwards was almost worse than the event itself, for it left them feeling ashamed and alone at the time they most needed comfort and protection. In our personal lives, blaming the victim most often arises from the need to deny that we ourselves could be vulnerable. In order to avoid confronting our own fear of powerlessness, we assume that the victim had the power to prevent what happened. Since they did not, we reason that we are smarter, stronger, more together and luckier than they are, and so what happened to them would never happen to us. This gives us a sense of control over our lives, but is done at the expense of compassion. We can then become smug and judgmental, feeling superior to the victim...."

Emotional Energy Blocks to Health & Healing - Bio Energy Fields Foundation
"Emotions affect the body, and bodily conditions are reflected in emotions...Disruption of [energy] flow causes cardiac, breathing, digestive and urinary malfunction....regardless of where emotional disturbances occur the entire organism suffers....remember that health comes when there is freedom to process energies effectively on all levels. The body can repair and regenerate beyond our wildest dreams if the blocks to the emotional organized energy systems are removed...
Deficiency diseases are very prevalent in our society today because of the emphasis on controlling our emotions. These are the fatigue syndrome, low blood pressure, low hemoglobin, diabetes, and cancer... In the hyper diseases –neurological diseases and pain, there is too much of a certain vibrations. Pain exists when there is too much energy. High blood pressure, all of our skin diseases, arthritis, diseases for which we take tranquilizers....

Fear - Inner Alchemy of the First Chakra - Alchemy Institute
".... Fear is a strange phenomenon. It hides, even from itself, like a shadow within us. And yet, fear wields a very powerful influence over our lives from deep in the subconscious. Fear has a grip on us as long and as much as we try to avoid it. In fact, fear is a very slippery thing to catch hold of, wearing many masks in our lives, changing itself into an endless variety of personality affects. It can become anger, neediness, an obsession to succeed or be better than others. It can hide itself deep in the body as a frozen, dense energy, or it can become a compulsion to eat something, like a candy bar..."

Healing Crisis - Shirley's Wellness Cafe
"The Road To Better Health may begin with a Healing Crisis...You may feel worse before you begin to feel better... People learn from an early age that symptoms are bad and should be stopped or suppressed. They take all kinds of drugs to stop their bodies from eliminating catarrh and waste....The word "holistic" means "whole". In providing holistic care, the therapist addresses you or your animal not only from the point of view of its disease, but also considers what may have caused the condition. There are many levels to look at: lifestyle, dietary habits, emotions; these may all have a relationship with the symptoms you observe. Believe it or not, our body knows how we got sick, why we got sick and how to heal us. The reason it doesn't do so is because of the stresses that we put in the way. Why elimination of the symptom is NOT the same as elimination of the disease ..."
