How many times have we felt bad for no apparent reason? The tensions that we accumulate inside ourselves are reflected in our exterior.
“In the years that I have been practicing, I have met various cancer patients who have fully recovered after a terminal diagnosis, people who a priori had a few months to live. I don't think they were miraculous cases; In my opinion, these phenomena show that the mind can go further, deeper and change the fundamental schemes that design the body. It can erase the errors of the program, so to speak, and end any disease, be it cancer, diabetes, coronary heart disease or any disorder that has disordered the general scheme.
The brain for the body is essential. Keeps the body healthy. In addition, as the Romans already defended, a healthy body is essential for a healthy soul, and it is important because a healthy brain helps to have a healthy body.
The most proven techniques to control our emotions are cognitive techniques. To change emotions we have to change thoughts, since emotion and thought go together, and if we change thought we can regulate both our emotions and our actions. Cognitive techniques such as mental rehearsal, thought detection and perspective change will help us heal the inside in order to heal the outside.
Emotions can be a powerful healing element and economically cheaper. Although there will always be factors that seem to escape the obsession to control the complexity of the healing processes.
There's no doubt that the mind-body connection is extremely important, and the mind plays a huge part in how we feel.
Perhaps the best example is the well-documented "Placebo Effect" through which patients who think they are given a working drug (but actually just a suger pill) somehow experience improvements in their condition.
Perhaps the most important thing is simply to find balance.
