How can the psyche lead to physical problems - and to the disappearance of the same? There is no hocus-pocus involved. Some mind - body connections are very obvious and proven. Mind and body form a complex unit. Among others, the scientific discipline of psycho-neuro-immunology is focused on this.
The following mechanisms are some well documented mind-body connections, with in each case, one or more examples of disorders that can be caused or aggravated through these connections. It also should be noted that many diseases may be affected through various mind-body connections.
Mind-body connections:
- chronic tension of skeletal muscles / tendons > lower back pain, stiff neck, chronic tension headaches, TMJ syndrome, chronic tendinitis, fibrositis,...
- chronic tension of smooth muscle > irritable bowel, achalasia, polyuria, asthma,...
- local blood flow > spastic angina, fainting (syncope), flushing, dizziness, aggravating factor in many diseases,...
- general blood flow > high blood pressure, low blood pressure,...
- immune system > allergic eczema / asthma, hay fever, various autoimmune disorders, increased susceptibility to infectious diseases,...
- hormones > menstrual disorders, PMS, menopausal symptoms, pain (via endorphins), abnormal blood pressure, certain thyroid disorders,...
- inflammatory reactions > rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, chronic tendinitis / bursitis, burns, help with post-operative wound healing,...
- excitability of nervous system > palpitations, tremor (shaking), neurodermatitis, symptoms of general distress,...
- deep motivation and behavior > smoking addiction, other drug addictions, becoming slim,...
- reduced control over specific acts > gastro-intestinal gas syndrome, tics, stuttering, 'hyperventilation', pruritus,...
- general mood and well-being > aggression, depression, chronic anxiety,...
- normal mind-body reactions > relaxation, sleeping better, sexuality,...
- thought processes > phobia, post-traumatic stress, general distress, low assertiveness,...
- perpetuating pattern formations > burnout, chronic fatigue, narcolepsy, certain forms of epilepsy,...
These connections are almost never under direct conscious control. One can for example, temporarily tighten muscles in a conscious way, but consciously persisting in a slight chronic muscle tension is virtually impossible. Non-conscious parts of the psyche can do so, as in a stress state that is continuously reflected in muscle tension. Autosuggestion (conscious and focused communication with the subconscious) is a way to gain control over these mind-body connections through non-conscious parts of the psyche, therefore indirectly.
AURELIS never causes an ‘aggressive’ attack on these physical aspects. It provides assistance in overcoming symptoms, not oppressing them. By transcending this, symptoms diminish or disappear in a spontaneous and 'friendly' manner. Rather than to alienate, you will come more to yourself and to a lasting solution to the problem or problems.
