MINDING THE BODY, MENDING THE MIND AND SPIRIT
“Come
to your senses,
Learn
to understand your body's language,
Hear
its innate wisdom,
and
regularly begin to experience your true feelings and sensations."
Our problems start from what we bring in our body:
-thoughts
-food
-prana
According to Ayurveda, the 6 stages of diseases are: accumulation,
aggravation, dissemination, relocation, manifestation, disruption
Humans often develop energy blockages in their internal organs that
result in knots and tangles in their abdomens and physical body. Human neurosis
is not just a mental concern: It takes up residence in body posture and
emotional expression. The body couldn't
change without the mind and vice versa
The negative emotions of fear, anger, anxiety, depression and worry cause the
most damage. Problems can also be caused by over-work, stress, accidents,
surgery, drugs, toxins, poor food and bad posture.
In search of an outlet, these negative emotions and toxic energies
move into the abdomen, which can process some of the body's emotional garbage.
It is usually unable to keep up with the flow. Once the disease is installed and
is manifested, Massage is one of the methods to clear this blocked energy. It
clears out the toxins, bad emotions and excessive (or deficient) heat that cause
organs to dysfunction. Internal Cleansing is also essential.

Body‘s
language
Usually, your body tries to tell you when something is wrong. Paying Attention
to what it's saying (or its symptoms) is the first step toward understanding the
cause of what you're experiencing. Then, you can identify ways to deal with
symptoms and their causes and try to prevent them from coming back.
Low self-esteem is at the root of nearly all mental blockages. It is low
self-esteem that causes us to get caught up in searching for love and
fulfillment outside of ourselves. Consequently, we find it difficult to feel
good about ourselves, to be happy in the moment, and to create the kind of life
we desire. There are many factors that contribute to low self-esteem - our
upbringing, negative beliefs, doubts about our abilities, fears of loss or
failure, feelings of anger, resentment, and guilt, to name a few. And because of
these blockages, we have unknowingly restricted the flow of our love,
creativity, and personal power to a fraction of our capability.
Hear its innate wisdom
We should try to
understand how our mental blockages have developed, how they function, and how
we can release them to let the light of our Eternal Inner Self shine through.
How to remove mental blockages
Special exercises may
help in developing a compassionate attitude, for examining and transforming
mental blockages, and for healing our inner child of the fears and hurt we have
suffered during the course of your life. The process is as following:

These techniques help ease the stress of illness
particularly illness caused by stress by exploiting the body's natural capacity
for healing.
The key to health and healing often lies within the
mind, especially before the disease reaches the physical body. Medical science has proven that your mind can make
you sick -- or well.
A powerful system combining
meditation, breath control, bodywork, stretching exercises and mindfulness may be developed for strengthening your mind to
control your physical well-being.
By
accessing the subconscious where all negative
feelings and negative beliefs are stored. You will become aware of your
sabotage and self inflicted limitations. Awareness is the key to Life Changing Experiences. Break
through our states of unaware and become conscious of some of our negative
life patterns. As you access your subconscious mind, lasting positive change is
inevitable.
We should learn how to feel and maintain a sense of balance in my body,
heart and mind. , learn how to protect our self through awareness. We set about
cultivating a relationship between our sensations, our feelings and our
thoughts.
In developing a loving relationship with the wisdom of the body and truly
listening to its messages, much of this could be prevented
Two approaches: mind-body
techniques and body-mind techniques.
Techniques such as guided visualization, meditation,
some breathing exercises and Chi Gong are mind-body disciplines, because
externally the body is still, but internally the mind is "active."
There is "conscious movement" of thought or images and/or breath.
Whereas Yoga, T’ai Chi, walking meditations, moving Qigong, Massages
and Body cleansing are body-mind techniques because externally the
body is moving, but internally the mind seeks stillness.
The two approaches are complementary; the first one is more preventive
and the second more curative.
