'None but you can be your own healer, your own physician.' Do you agree with the statement? Before proceeding to react in negative as per your conditioning, give a pause. Remember! All truths had been amazing and mind-boggling until worked upon with sincerity of will and spirit of trust. I can appreciate overshadowing impact of the modern science on most aspects of life, but the same scientists who in their enthusiasm to break the old myths are trying to research again the essence in the naturals- once forgotten, the very basics. They are searching old and tested essentials in a new light.
Body and mind though considered earlier to be different and independent parts and this analytical thinking has damaged and already brought more than fifty percent human race on the threshold of psychological disorders, are naturally correlated, congenially inter related and synergistically and holistically interdependent like two sides of the coin. But the way new science looks- one-eyed way; seeing one part as the whole thus creating a duality, is the real problem. The whole is always healthy, at ease but the duality pulls and naturally healthy people are made to live miserably ill.
Latest studies have confirmed what masters could see with insight that mind governs the body and so does the body to mind. All yogic and natural exercises simply allow you to be associated with your body, away from the mind; the mind gets a rest and makes people healthy with inner beauty of happiness.
"It's all in your head" - we have heard this expression more than once in our lives when we complained about this or that physical ailment, emotional difficulty or some stress-associated experiences.
And mind it! That the mind will never agree when we try to see this point, that it has a problem. How can the same element, same ego agree to be at fault; not in unison. This sequence of 'headiness' further leads to dreamy hallucinations, sticky impressions and a person starts seeing first and feeling later from weakness creeping into the legs to dreaded dreamy progressions of events. All this happens in the same mind that dictates and symphonizes symptoms in the body; depression is the output.
A depressed mind is simply unable to think or rationalize or it is the result of over thinking, brings us to unanswerable question mark. Is it unanswerable? No, if we try to see both body and mind as one and the role of connecting energy. Any blockage in the natural flow of energy creates situation where body is not-at-ease or dis- eased.
All inputs of thoughts, food and surrounding environment directly and subtly influence the energy mechanism of the body. Sitting for long periods in front of computers- hey! I usually take a break to go outside to inhale fresh air, couching before 'idiot box' and all sedentary styles of life create blockages. Simply go out, have few deep breathes, move your body and half your illness disappears.
Look now, the psychologists usually prescribe depressants thus further depressing the process of conscious thinking; patient remains in daze unable to think and work realistically. Sometimes some medicines seem to work as do the placebos, but it is the correction of one's thinking that works more and gets the sufferer out of is sufferings.
Placebo is as old as medical science where a physician knows that the patient has problem only in the mind and not with the body. All symptoms which body reflects sometimes are imaginary, simply psychological. This happens when the mind overpowers the body, it dictates; comes to its being; the real unmasked face and this is the main task of the mind. The masters and sages established long ago the cunning strength of the mind through innate desires like greed, ego, anger and sex but the scientists have only recently re-established the need to look into this crucial aspect.
Medicines do work, but remember it is due to the fact that our mind has accepted, believed and trusted the doctor or the medicine. When body is simply relieved of its pain either by the intake of medicine or simple rest or natural ways like a walk or yoga; the resultant stress is gone in the part that had pain. And mind starts working harmoniously. We can infer that most medicines are nothing but placebos; otherwise it should work on all the patients all the time. Then each human being should have been living in the healthy state of body and mind, but it does not happen because all minds and bodies are uniquely different. .
Now, scientists are closing in to this aspect that most of the symptoms except in trauma and serious infection take root in mind. Mind is the main culprit while body just responds unnaturally.
To understand the nature of body and enjoying the maximum of the life through this body, the learned sages have advised three things:
- Sensible food,
- Sensible body movements (exercise) and
- Sensible thoughts.
Today every individual is continuously under the systematic high pressure of media blitzkrieg, burdened with all senseless junk food, remaining comforted for hours before idiot box and allowing drifting and impure matters to take over the command of mind- the later being the most crucial from healing angle.
The plethora of today's problems like stress and tension in the Belly and body; regular pain of knees, shoulders, back and neck, sleeplessness, premature aging, frigidity and impotency, heart ailments, feeling of hopelessness, being unworthy and incapable, hypochondria and alike are nothing but life style problems. These cannot be classified as diseases. It is an established fact now that most of these are due to long hours of sittings on chair before the computer or sofa watching the TV, munching whatever one can catch hold off without realizing the need and requirement of the body and our thought process is being controlled, conditioned and hypnotized to buy one or the other product.
Ironically, you all know this. You have read all this, watched on TV screen umpteen times, yet your lazy sleep- not literal sleep but your being doing everything unconsciously as if drugged, has done harm to you. I read about a Japanese doctor who confessed, "What people earn from the age of thirty- five to fifty-five, they give almost half of their earnings to doctors between the age of fifty-five to seventy-five or more."
Now try to see and watch but watch closely, candidly your relentless running around; not caring for the medium called the body, the real tool for prime twenty years is going to land you into a bigger gully where pain of visiting doctors and staying in hospitals causing equal pain and anguish to nears and dears ones. Your presence on this planet earth is till your body serves you healthily.
As regards the mind, the head we have to be clearly careful and watchful as to what kind of thoughts and words and pictures need to be fed to it. What is needed is the true positivism; and only harmonious thoughts can be healing to body and mind. We have to understand deeply that both body and mind work coherently and if one goes out of order another just follows. So the good and healthy food that doesn't burden or causes extensive and painful expansion of the stomach and at least half an hour to one hour of exercise with relatively clear vision of understanding of body, mind and soul as one medium can not only heal you of minor and major illnesses but will shower in an era of pleasant, melodious and healthy living.
All the best! Heal thyself from within.
