Welcome to the CHII: Checklist of Health Issues and Illness.

The purpose of the CHII is to allow you a fast and easy way to identify your own personal blocks and to allow you to work on removing these blocks should you care to do so. You will receive an individual profile that shows your score for each chakra as well as for three themes: vitality, relationships, and spirituality. You will be given specific ways to address issues for each chakra.

About the Checklist of Health Issues and Illness

Drs. Caroline Myss, C. Norman Shealy and L. Rose Bruce developed the CHII. It is based upon the theory developed by Caroline Myss and Norm Shealy over the past 15 years concerning the relationship between spiritual, psychological, and emotional factors and health or illness. Specifically, issues and illnesses relating to seven energy centers (chakras) are defined. The general concept is that unresolved spiritual, psychological or emotional factors impact the flow of energy in the chakras and may result, over time, in a weakening in the system and eventually in a physical illness. Conversely, balance and harmony within ourselves promotes a natural state of health. In short, our biography becomes our biology.

It took two years to develop the CHII. We sampled over 1300 adults in the United States, both people who are familiar with our work and people who know nothing about it. We will continue to work on researching the CHII based upon the information we receive from this web site. Your individual responses will, of course, be totally confidential and held in strictest confidence as with a counselor or doctor.

Developing a reliable and valid measure of attitudes, emotions, psychological issues and health allows for future research on the relationship of these factors to specific types of illness. This research could potentially augment the way allopathic medicine views the etiology of illness. It may also educate and empower individuals to enhance their own health and well being.
