It's becoming more and more clear to me that all illness originates with thoughts. These may be seen as negative thoughts but it might be more accurate to see hem as conflicting thoughts, thoughts ha that conflict with who we know ourselves to be deep down, and with our desires that we know are within reach, as well as fears left unchecked. These thoughts not only influence the muscles and the nervous system in ways that western medicine has not fully understood, but they also influence our decisions, leading us to go against what our body might be telling us, most of us can't even hear what our body is telling us because our reception is so distorted, but in clearing up that "negativity" or distortion, we can begin to know what is best for us at all times, which is a large part of healing.
