Diseases As A Conflict Between Body And Mind
The body speaks and expresses itself by symptoms. Illnesses, pain, wounds, discomfort … are symptoms that something negative is happening inside him. Many times this negative about what the body alerts us has to do with our emotional world.
Different therapeutic techniques address this approach. A way of looking at reality that seemed to belong to Freud’s outdated psychoanalysis and his theory of repression, but there is more. Third-generation therapies, such as mindfulness, or yoga, cell renewal medicine, body and brain biochemistry, and quantum physics have come from different perspectives that the mind and body are directly related and the influence they have one over the other is very powerful.
The warnings of our body
When something hurts, we are tired, or a disease arises, the body is warning us. Our mind is interpreting a situation, perhaps closely related to our emotions. It is time to stop and analyze what is happening, how we are feeling and how it affects us.
Always keeping in mind and as the first option the use of traditional medicine, we can use the power of our mind to enhance the effects of this medical treatment and self-care behaviors. In order to explore the power that our mind holds in this regard, we have to give ourselves the time, permission and patience necessary.
The power of thoughts
The mind equates to everything we think. Every thought that passes through our head influences our life and body, our reality. The thoughts that most influence us are those to which we pay the most attention and feed with our word, action and reaction.
If thoughts affect our reality and body, then positive thinking could help solve problems, illnesses and deficiencies. However, thinking positive is not enough. To think only about what in our opinion is “good”, supposes making judgments and believing that what is desired is going to be fulfilled without further ado.
To change that way of thinking or interpreting what we perceive, we must go further , to the deep world of emotions. To the development of emotional intelligence and knowledge of ourselves.
Diseases as their own interpretations of reality
A disease can reflect that our mind is doing something that we do not want. To change this, it would be necessary to observe what type of programming our mind works with and in what way we have acquired them and are executing it through behaviors. Let us think that our learning in the family is the origin of emotional management.
Certain bodily discomforts are seeded and cultivated in our emotional world. Some of our ailments are the consequence of not having understood some experiences that have caused us pain, dissatisfaction or anger. These experiences remain stored in us and little by little they are reflected in our body.
In summary, we can say that some bodily symptoms or ailments have to do with a certain degree of unhappiness or dissatisfaction. All this, the result of attachment, excess control, anger denied or not understood, etc. It is said that deep down all disease is something we hide. If an experience hurts, irritates, burns or disappoints the heart, the body will reflect it in the same way. The body is the most immediate reflection of the way we think and feel life.
To feel better
We can see that everything we live is for something. The greatest learning from an experience is in learning. Learn to know and accept ourselves. Have a good relationship with ourselves and with others. Learn that we have to stop waiting and start loving ourselves more to be able to love, have patience and trust, be more compassionate, stop criticizing and demanding more of ourselves, enjoy what we have and allow ourselves to be enthusiastic about things and believe that nature has us put everything in our power to be happy.
If we learn to manage the emotions that the mind feels, our body will minimize the sending of worrying signals. A continuous state of fatigue, low defenses or repetitive constipation can be symptoms that we are compromising our immune system by poorly managing our emotions. On the other hand, by being happy and calm, in a state of growth, discovery and fulfillment, we secrete hormones and fill ourselves with energy, life and health.
