YOUR BODY REFLECTS YOUR THOUGHTS AND EMOTIONS🔗

Take a good look at your body.

How do you feel about your body?

We all carry impressions, ideas about our own bodies.

We carry a lot of negative feelings about our bodies.

You may not even be aware, but in your unconscious mind you will be carrying deep negative impressions about your body.

Understand, most of these impressions are not even your own! Almost always, you have picked up these impressions from other people's opinions of you.

Very, very rarely have I come across someone who is completely comfortable with his body. To be comfortable with one's body does not mean assuming everything about your body is good. It is just being at ease with your body the way it is.

The attitude that we constantly carry towards our body is reflected in the body itself.

Our body carries a powerful bio-memory.

When I spoke about samskaras, we saw how the physical body stores the tamas (inertia) engrams.

Similarly, any thought or emotion we experience is immediately recorded in our body.

Have you noticed how many physical and chemical changes occur in your body when you are overcome by a powerful emotion like fear, desire, anger or pain? Your thoughts and emotions are all powerful energies!

Because the body picks up and stores these energies created by our constantly changing emotions and thoughts, we all have disturbances, energy blockages, complexes and imbalances in our physical system.

HOW ARE ENERGY BLOCKAGES CREATED IN OUR BODY?

Right from a young age, we learn to suppress our natural emotions - because in society, we cannot always express ourselves as we wish!

For example, when you get angry, the body immediately produces the chemicals necessary for fight. The body produces enough energy to attack a man! Because anger is an essential survival tool for all animals, the body prepares you for fighting the other.

But in our civilized society, we can't always express our anger. The other person might be someone you are afraid of – maybe your boss, or your wife! So whatever energy is generated, remains unused. This excess energy stagnates in your body and creates a block in the energy flow.

The same thing happens with all emotions – desire, fear or grief. Most of the time, you are afraid to let your body express itself. You live in deep fear and mistrust of your body. You think that your body doesn't know the language of civilization; that it doesn't recognize the rules of society.

If you set your body free, who knows what might happen? Who knows what your body might do? So you think you have to control; you have to repress.

When you continuously suppress your emotions, not only do they create blocks in your physical body, they eventually lead to mental illness as well. For instance, continuously repressing anger can lead to hysteria. In the same way, mental disturbances can manifest as physical diseases. Not only cardiac disease or migraines, even skin allergies and peptic ulcers are caused by stress. Recent research has shown that over 80% of our diseases are psychosomatic in nature – that is, our physical and mental states are both responsible for these diseases.

Many of the meditation techniques are deep cleansing processes which can help you dissolve these blocks and repressions in your body.

Once you are free of these blocks, you will see for yourself how your body blooms naturally. Your body begins to look more beautiful, more divine.

You will enjoy a beautiful and friendly relationship with your body.
