Ready to Understand an Illness?

By Adi Andreeva

One of the principles of medicine says that health and disease are the result of things we do…

Even pain itself may possibly be a learned response, a reflexive response to irritants. Many doctors believe that diseases can be caused by the kind of life we ​​lead. But how does it work? How does a lifestyle lead to disease and pain? And how much? And why do we get sick?

The interplay of all human physiological systems connects the mind to the body in definite but extremely complex ways.

This is new knowledge. Until recently, pain was seen as something imposed on the mind by the body. But pain isn't just a message from injured tissue, it's a complex experience that's generated and carefully tuned by your brain.

The results are often strange and counterintuitive, like quantum physics, but the science is clear:

Every painful sensation is 100% an impulse from the brain. Therefore, there is no pain without a brain.

From the very beginning of our lives, we humans begin to limit ourselves in response to social and emotional forces. From an early age we are restricted from any primal actions in response to being socially nurtured.

We are stopped from screaming or crying to mature. This is desirable, of course... but it also comes at a cost. We begin to adhere to a certain way of doing things - a way of breathing, moving, making sounds, etc. We make these choices not because we are largely in tune with what we actually need and want, but because our brains give us very complex ideas about what we think we need and want.

It is important to understand that we are not to blame for our illnesses. Just as our personalities are determined by both genetics and environment, our illnesses are determined by both internal and external forces. We participate in the generation of our diseases, but we do not do it intentionally and we cannot undo it intentionally. No disease-lifestyle connection would happen overnight. Illness is probably among the last signs of an enduring pattern in life.

Anyone can try to restore balance in life, but anyone trying to heal must understand that this may be difficult or impossible and may not have an effect on an established illness. Spontaneous remissions of serious diseases are not called "miracles" for no reason. We are all students of life – but the skills required for the healing process once it has started are probably several degrees beyond us, if at all.

In fact, when we are sick, it is usually an indication that it is too late for us and we are not equipped emotionally and spiritually to undo the damage.

However, miracles do happen. A passionate individual determined to overcome any condition will take these discouraging words as a challenge to excel, learn enough about themselves to heal, or (quite literally) die trying. We have to step outside of our comfort zone and choose to leave behind the many little fears and prejudices that have defined our condition for so long.

We need to stretch in a way much further than the line of the illness…

This stretching process could be of any kind - some people will turn to others for help, some to nature,some to spiritual practices... But for almost everyone, above all, it means really deep looking inside and fresh movement(which in fact are also components of any interesting spiritual discipline.)

We must strive to become constant dancers, freely embodying every impulse. Even if it's too little or too late, it will still be worth it…

And going to other people in search of any help, remember this, it will help you when the time is right for you.🙏

...Those who possess the knowledge know that they have no right to trade it but are obliged to pass it on... only to those who are fit to embrace it and use it for the benefit of others in order to ease their existence. Those who possess the knowledge know that it is given to them along with the responsibility for their actions and use it only and only in case of extreme need and without selfish purposes.

Those who trade in knowledge for their own benefit, and not in sincere help to the weak, sick or needy - sooner or later experience the consequences of the violation of the universal laws...
