It seems that despite the rapid development of Western medicine, thousands of scientific studies, so many new advanced treatment methods and medicines, we feel neither better nor healthier.

It is now known that lifestyle is a major factor in determining health, much greater than genes. It is also common knowledge that unhealthy diet, poor sleeping habits, lack of exercise, disconnecting from nature and clinging to our electronic devices etc. are responsible for poor health.

But are we sure that's all?

Haven't we missed something important?

I want to encourage you to look further and broaden your perspective on health by adding other factors that have a huge impact on our health.

Those factors are our thoughts and emotions.

Thoughts are powerful and have a huge impact on how you feel by stirring up emotions in your body. 

If you constantly worry about future events that may never happen or blame yourself for your past actions, your thoughts create a conflict in your body that causes stress, tension and leads to illness.

Did you know your body remembers every emotion you have experienced in your life? 

You may not remember what happened at that specific moment in your childhood, but your body recorded it all. Especially when it was not safe to feel and process those emotions with the support of a parent or caregiver.

To better understand that concept, imagine emotions as a tsunami wave. It starts strong and spreads, but over time it loses its strength and becomes calmer.

But if you were to push a tsunami wave into a bottle, it would not be able to disperse its energy and would become softer. The tsunami wave would continue to cause damage until it is released.

That's what happened in your body every time there wasn't a safe space to feel and express your emotions and you couldn't process them. It is not something you consciously chose, it happened automatically in response to a situation or trigger.

Which brings me to another point…

Being able to see your ailments as a message or warning from your body, rather than something annoying and irritating. 

Can you really imagine your body speaking to you through pain, discomfort and symptoms of illness? In this way it reveals emotions that you have not been able to express in the past and that you have suppressed in your physical body.

Did you learn in childhood to suppress your emotions in order to feel safe, accepted, loved and attached? Then there is a good chance that the pain and illness you experience is your body calling your attention to what is hidden there.

I hope that from now on you will look at your illness, condition or pain in a different way.

Also know that you don't have to suffer,  you are not a victim of your past.

You have a right to have a better life and you You can begin the process of healing at any time… 

Lots of love,

Monika
