The psychosomatic medicine

 

Our bodies are a projection of the mind, they contain all kinds of information, including our conscious and subconscious thoughts and all our memories. This idea has led to the understanding, strongly supported by scientific research, that all physical ailments have an underlying psychological or emotional cause. The term for this is “psychosomatic”.

Emotional problems are caused when we experience pain and then feel guilty or angry about it. We don't want to be wrong, so we hang onto those feelings, sometimes for many years or even lifetimes. If we give enough energy to these painful memories they can become part of our bodies, disrupting the flow of energy through the body and causing physical ailments.

Early pioneers of psychosomatic medicine were Phineas Quimby (initiator of the New Thought movement) and Dr. Georg Groddeck. The miraculous healings performed by J through forgiveness of imaginary sin is based on the same fundamental principle. By healing the mind we heal the body.

Exercise and good nutrition are well known requirements for optimal health and fitness, self-esteem and a positive self-image are also essential. Forgiveness is the fundamental key to our happiness because it treats the cause and not the effect, sometimes we also need to release emotional problems that have become part of our body. With health issues it's always best to employ both psychological and physical strategies.
