As you think so you become.

Most of us thinking that our body and mind are separate system and believe they function independently. We feed and water our bodies, take it for a walk, exercise and enjoy it’s sensory capabilities.

And we feed our mind with ideas and all vireos sorts of entertainment, while also experiencing all sorts of emotions that we usually attribute to the way we treat ourselves or how other people treat us: making us feel either good or bad.

When something goes wrong with any of these systems we usually go to someone to sort it out, such as a doctor to treat the body or a psychotherapist to treat the mind.

Don’t you know they are connected?

Do you recall the last time you had an job interview? Or went on the first date with someone you really want to impress?

In either case, no doubt you wanted to appear calm and confident but at the same time you feel very nervous and self-conscious.

Do you remember how your body felt?
Self consciousness will contract your muscles, you will sweet more than usual, you feel slightly nervous, and you will probably fluff your words, just when you want to appear so confident. In other words your emotional state affect your physical body.

What I am saying here is, that Body and Mind not two but One operating system that effect and accompanied each other. By learning the Body Mind language of signals and symptoms you can learn what is being repressed or ignored in your emotions and the effect this is having on your physical body.

In the words of the great Indian Yogi Paramahansa Yogananda: “ There is an innate connection between the mind and the body… All diseases have their origins in the mind. The pains that effect the physical body are secondary disease.”

Over the next week, watch how your emotion effect your physical body. Write about these experience in your journal.

1 What physical feelings you are experiencing when you are irritated or frustrated?
What happen to your breathing, shoulders, back or stomach?

2 What Happen to your body when you worried or anxious about something?
Where do you hold your anxiety? What physical effects does it have?
Do fear about the future create the pain in your stomach or in your legs?

3 Watch your reactions.
What happen inside of you, when someone shouts at you?
Do you have a headache because you were shouted at, or because you feel insecure and angry? What do you do with angry feelings?
Do you express them, or is there somewhere you putt them?
Do you swallow hard, clench your muscle or constipated?

4 Observe the effect of memories.
What happen if you recall past event?
Do you feel relaxed or do you break out in sweet and feel nervous?
Pay a particular attention to what happen when you recall unhappy memories.
As you follow these memories watch where in your body there is a reaction.

5 Analyze illness and injuries.
Think back to past illness or time when you where hurt. Note the parts of your body that were involved. Have you always had a recurring headaches? Have you always hurt on the same side of your body?

Observe yourself, your reactions, and your body. As you do this . you will begin to see how closely all the deferent parts of your being, both physical and psycho/emotional, are interwoven.
