Are our illnesses related to our actions and what we say or think? What is hidden behind a pain, a symptom or even a pathology?
The body alerts us with pain that something is not working well. More than one person has found themselves in this situation. You go to the doctor with a symptom, a pain, and the doctor finds nothing wrong. The pain exists and therefore the mind is warning that something is not working well.
I met someone in that situation a while ago. A tremendous phlegmon of unknown origin, but with great pain. So I ask if something is happening to him, besides the inflammation, and he begins to tell me that lately at night he shrinks when he sleeps. I ask if there is any stressful situation in his life, but he says no. The only thing he tells me is that he has a job where his boss is demanding and that he tries to make him as happy as possible.
I try to see what relationship there is between their symptoms and those thoughts that may be causing that tension. The problem is in one word – “please” – which is what he tries to do with his boss, and that is that he is not able to say no to anything and has to try everything.
When we stop being ourselves, saying no when we can’t, and simply saying no to everything, we create a terrible problem. We stop respecting our needs, respecting the limits that we know we have.
After working on this issue for a few weeks with different exercises, balance is restored and the no is recovered. Thus, this person stops showing those symptoms, having phantom pains, which are telling us that something is not working.
The body didn’t lie. It’s okay to do things, try to be the best version, but never forgetting that we must come first. We cannot lose the harmony between body and mind Often when we hear that alert that is pain or illness we are too immersed in them.
Be careful not to confuse this with saying that all pathologies have a cause in the mind, since that is not true. The problem is that many of our most everyday discomforts are reflected in what we experience. Obviously, when we talk about an infection, breaking an arm or cancer, we are not talking about the mind that communicates anything to us, but about a medical problem, which can be affected in its evolution in that we are in tune between body and body. mind.
No one is going to do it for you, so take good care of yourself
