Arthritis Treatment: Practical Ayurveda and the Louise Hay Method. Methodology for attracting financial stability

Liz Burbo writes about the possible metaphysical reasons knee problems:
The following description applies to all problems that can affect the natural functions of the knee, as well as pain in this joint.

Emotional blocking:
Pain or a problem in the knee that interferes with one of its functions is a sign of a lack of flexibility in relation to the future. Knee pain usually occurs in a vain and stubborn person who does not want to accept other people's ideas and advice. This attitude only harms him, as he deprives himself of the opportunity to find easier ways to secure his future.
mental blocking:
This pain helps you realize that you are not flexible enough. Don't forget that your body is always trying to warn you of things you may not be aware of. You do not want to accept new ideas and change your attitude towards your own future or the future of the people you love, because you are afraid of losing control over yourself or over the situation. You no longer have to believe that giving in means kneeling or submitting. Perhaps the lack of flexibility is due to the fact that you are afraid of becoming like one of your parents. Know that you can live an independent life, independent of your parents. But absolute independence does not exist, we all need someone's help from time to time.

Bodo Baginski and Sharamon Shalila in their book “Reiki – Universal Life Energy” write about the possible metaphysical causes of knee problems:
If you internally cannot or do not want to bow - out of pride, stubbornness, selfishness or unconscious fear - then this manifests itself at the level of the body in inflexible, unbending knees. you can avoid unpleasant pain in the knees, developing tolerance and empathy, as well as the ability to forgive. Reiki helps tremendously with this. If you can bow inwardly humbly, then your knees will soon begin to bend painlessly.

Louise Hay, in her book Heal Yourself, points out the main negative attitudes (leading to illness) and harmonizing thoughts (leading to healing) associated with the appearance and healing of knee problems:
Stubbornness and pride. Inability to be a malleable person. Fear. Inflexibility. Unwillingness to give in.
Harmonizing Thoughts: Forgiveness. Understanding. Compassion. I easily give in and give in, and everything goes well.

Alexander Astrogor in his book "Confession of a sore" writes:
The knees hurt in people who are overcome by pride. If pride is good quality, because a person must be proud of himself, of his profession or work, of his children, country, and so on, then pride is already a spiritual vice of a person, it is it that beats a person on the knees ...
Pride is when a person compares himself with someone, but in his own favor. At the same time, the person confidently says about himself that I am better than him (her), that he will not put me on my knees, I will not crawl in front of him on my knees! In order for a knee to hurt, it is not at all necessary to constantly compare yourself with another person. Sometimes it is enough to emotionally create sensual tension once for the knee or both at once to receive an energy hole. But every time, as soon as a person sees the object of his pride, sharp pain immediately remind you of yourself. If the situation is released, forgotten, begged for forgiveness, then the knees stop hurting. It's that simple. It is more difficult to remove pride, your stubbornness, forgive, forget, not react ...
The knees also hurt those who are conceited, and therefore emphasize their superiority even more. In this case, it is no coincidence that people say that if you are arrogant, then life will bring you to your knees. But people see very different reasons, saying that for many of them the problem with their knees is that the joints cannot cope with the load that a person’s weight represents in kilograms. No, this is the weight and strength of your feelings, which crush the soul, so as not to break the spirit of stubbornness.
Having two knees: right and left, a person experiences pain in one of them, then in both at once. Why is this happening? No medicine, except karmic, answers this question, and it explains it as follows. The fact is that each knee has its own energy and mental causes, which include a painful reaction.

RIGHT KNEE - this is me with my problems, I do not want and will not do what they incline me to. And sometimes they bow rightly. For example, a person graduated from a university and worked for a long time at a factory, at an institute or somewhere else. But him workplace they reduced it, the plant went bankrupt, the institute collapsed, because no one needed its research. And they say to a person: “Go sell newspapers, sell ice cream, etc.” And he replies: “Yes, I have higher education and I will never stoop to that!” He does not understand that it was his education that turned out to be useless to anyone, like himself, but at the same time pride hits him on the knees.
The right knee shows us a Protestant person with an installation on his principles that do not correspond to reality. And the more stubbornness he shows, the stronger and longer his right knee will hurt.
From the above arguments, let's move on to facts that, despite the ban on disclosing the disease, are easily reported by the media.
In March 1997, American President Bill Clinton was to meet in Helsinki with Russian President Boris Yeltsin. The meeting had to be rescheduled for one day because Clinton had injured his right knee while walking down the stairs a few days earlier. He had to urgently undergo surgery. Topic of the meeting: NATO expansion to the East. Clinton's sensual-emotional protest: not to bow before Russia hit him on the right knee.
While preparing for elections at various levels, some candidates begin to have problems with their knees. If a person puts pressure on others with his authority, name or position, then it is he who will have problems with the menisci, as a rule, on the right knee. And how many artists and others famous people have problems not only with the right, but also with the left knee at the same time?
In front of the knee covers the kneecap, called a cup. You are invited to a cup of coffee to solve some mercantile issues, but you refuse because of your convictions, then the right knee will signal you about that overly sharp reaction that you, without showing it, suppressed in yourself.

LEFT KNEE is the world around me. It reacts to people with whom a person lives or constantly communicates. Very often this psychological reaction from a husband to his wife, or vice versa, if one of them is constantly trying to subjugate the other (boss - subordinate). At the same time, education, position, money, or anything you like, just to emphasize your superiority, is flaunted. The acute mental reaction of a person that you will not put me on my knees leads to a disease of the left knee.
People with sore knees always feel an ache when the weather changes. It is just like our mood changes at the sight of a certain person: it becomes cloudy in the soul (the joy of life is lost), dampness (tears) in the eyes, and aches as a protest against those who are trying to break us, to subjugate us to their will.
The left knee can also react painfully in any work team, when everyone is the same, but at the same time someone exploits someone, uses them. A person understands this, but cannot do anything, however, a painful reaction to these actions will cause pain in the left knee.
So it turns out that either you yourself will kneel (right knee), or they will put you on your knees (left knee). But all this requires an acute mental reaction, which can result in the knee joint being replaced with an artificial one ...
We put those we love on our knees, therefore, in order to relieve pain, we need to put someone we love on our knees. It is best if these are children, grandchildren, playing with whom you forget about those problems that constantly keep you in suspense. For lack of loved ones, put a cat or dog on your lap. Their medicinal properties have been known since ancient times…

According to some psychologists, any illness is not an accident, there is a connection between the spiritual and the physical, between our thoughts and the state of our physical body. Having decided to do away with any disease, one should first of all identify the mental (mental) cause of its occurrence. The symptoms of the disease are just a reflection of internal deep processes. You will have to delve into yourself in order to discover and destroy the spiritual cause of the disease.


The list of mental stereotypes given by us was compiled by the American psychologist Louise Hay as a result of many years of research, based on her experience with patients. Also, we give an interpretation of the Russian psychologist Vladimir Zhikarentsev.


Behind the sign MINUS the psychological cause of the disease is written; behind the sign A PLUS there is a new stereotype of thinking that leads to recovery; sign SIMILARIES reveals what the organ is responsible for in a psychological sense.


LOUISE HAY'S RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USING AFFIRMATIONS (stereotypes of thinking):
  1. Find a mental reason. See if it suits you. If not, think about what thoughts could trigger the disease?
  2. Repeat the stereotype several times.
  3. Embrace the thought that you are on the path to recovery.
  4. This meditation should be repeated daily, because. it creates a healthy mind and, as a result, a healthy body.
Name of disease or organ

KNEES - found: 2

1. LAP- (Louise Hay)

~ Symbol of pride. Feeling the exclusivity of one's own "I".

Stubbornness and pride. Inability to be a malleable person. Fear. Inflexibility. Unwillingness to give in.

I am a flexible and flexible person. Forgiveness. Understanding. Compassion. I easily give in and give in, and everything goes well.

2. LAP- (V. Zhikarentsev)

~ Represents pride and ego.

Stubborn, unyielding ego and pride. Inability to submit. Fear. Lack of flexibility. I won't give up for anything.

Forgiveness. Understanding. Compassion. I easily submit and flow smoothly through life; everything in my life is great.

Bodo Baginski and Sharamon Shalila in their book “Reiki – the universal energy of life” write: This symptom indicates a person who, as if under duress, demonstrates supermoral and superconscientious behavior, from which one can also conclude that he is stubborn and stupidly constant in their convictions.

Usually there is also a tendency to sacrifice oneself, behind which, however, aggression is actually repressed into the subconscious, which is not even admitted to oneself: “Others must finally understand how hard it is for me.

» Although self-sacrifice is commendable, finally take an honest look at your intrinsic motivation. Does it really reflect selfless love for others? Do you give others freedom of action, do you let them live their own lives? And there should be no compulsion in your mind either.

Love, forgiveness, freedom and harmony are virtues that are especially important to you. Be open to them.

Dr. Luule Viilma in his book "Psychological Causes of Disease" writes: Deforming polyarthritis with progressive destruction bone tissue in children: Shame and anger against her husband's infidelity, inability to forgive infidelity.

Arthrosis and its features

Liz Burbo in her book Your Body Says Love Yourself. "" writes: There is a great similarity between arthritis and arthrosis, although with arthrosis a person experiences anger and anger mainly towards some other person, and with arthritis - towards himself.

A patient with arthrosis does not take responsibility for his misfortunes, preferring to blame other people for them. He is consumed by a sense of injustice.

He should have treated those around him with love and compassion, and shown more enthusiasm.

READ ALSO: Chronic arthritis - symptoms and treatment

Arthrosis - chronic illness joints, but has some differences from arthritis. It's all about the inflammatory process, which in this case is absent.

The joints are disturbed by unpleasant pain in the morning, it takes time for them to “warm up” and begin to function normally. The very structure of the joint changes, it is deformed, but this process proceeds very slowly and drags on for a long time.

In terms of mental state these diseases are very similar, but with arthrosis a person experiences negative emotions towards others, not towards oneself. The main reason is the lack of pleasant and kind feelings for people nearby.

Such a person is very vulnerable and writes off all the misses in life as failures. He shifts responsibility for his actions onto the shoulders of other people, and at the same time he complains about others.

GOUT

Liz Burbo in her book Your Body Says Love Yourself. "" writes: Gout is a metabolic disorder characterized by an increase in the level uric acid in the blood and the deposition of its salts in the joints and kidneys.

This disease affects mainly men, and salts are most often deposited in thumbs legs, knees or feet. Emotional blocking: If struck thumb legs, gout is a sign that a person wants to rule, but does not give himself such a right.

Very often such a person seems not at all powerful, but only because his authoritativeness manifests itself in a roundabout way. Gout can indicate a lack of flexibility and even stubbornness in relation to the future, as well as an aversion to someone or something.

Mental blockage: Considered a form of arthritis, this illness tells you to relax, be yourself, and allow yourself to be bossy at least once in a while. You don't have to pretend all the time.

Louise Hay's table is a kind of key to understanding the cause of a particular disease. It's very simple: the body, like everything else in our lives, is nothing but a direct reflection of our beliefs. Our body talks to us all the time - if only we took the time to listen ... Every cell of the body reacts to our every thought and every word, the author claims.

Unfortunately, it appeared "thanks" to her difficult fate, the fact that she had to endure truly tragic things, but this decoding of ailments - indispensable assistant not only its readers, but also professional doctors, the relationship between the signs of the disease and the diagnosis itself is so accurately noticed. .

LOUISE HAY "Become Happy in 21 Days"

PROBLEM

PROBABLE CAUSE

AFFIRMATION

Opposite the name in the table there are 2 columns - the cause of the disease and the mood for recovery or affirmation. We want to immediately explain what an affirmation is. An affirmation is a textual form of self-persuasion that must be repeated many times. Those who have already worked with Sytin's attitudes know that it is necessary not only to pronounce the text, but to literally imagine the image, the picture in this case of change, self-acceptance, and as a result, recovery.

Of course, it is difficult to immediately accept this simple truth that our illnesses are just unspoken negative emotions - anger, resentment, sadness, disappointment, even despair, despondency. It's easier to put the responsibility for your recovery and fate, for example, on a doctor, on your relatives, but will this help you, Louise Hay asks. The affirmation table is a kind of "heart-to-heart talk" with yourself, those problems that prevent you from becoming happy. In our opinion, the disease must be dealt with comprehensively. These are pills, and competent doctors, and of course the mood for the best.

LOUISE HAY

Louise Hay (birth name Lepta Kau, born October 8, 1926)- a self-made woman, the embodiment of the American dream. Even a cursory reading of her biography (difficult poor childhood, intense emotional background in the family, early pregnancy, cancer) understands how much she had to go through before she came to the top - millions of copies of books (the most famous "Heal Your Life" came out in 1984) , fame, participation in television programs, shows, etc.

And although the ideas that Louise Hay carries in her books are as old as the world, however, few people apply them in life - we each rush so fast in our own orbit, someone is happy, someone is quite the opposite, and there is no time to stop and look on yourself from the side. In short, the writer teaches to understand and accept oneself, arguing that without this “base”, there is no successful future. It also clearly shows the relationship between specific diseases and internal state person.

About developing self-love.

The writer claims that when we fully accept and love ourselves, life immediately begins to change for the better, even in small things. We begin to attract new interesting events, new people, financial prosperity appears, confidence in the future. All her affirmations are based on this belief. And these are not miracles, but a natural pattern in which people have forgotten how to believe!

Also, due to the complete acceptance of yourself, you begin to change outwardly, many are rapidly getting younger, the weight returns to normal, you feel a surge of strength and energy.

On self-perception and self-criticism

In no case should you criticize yourself, - L. Hay believes, allow yourself to be imperfect today, because many simply torment themselves with a lack of perfection in themselves, make some achievement an indispensable condition for self-love, for example: "I would love myself if I had ideal weight, and now ... no, what kind of ideal is I?". When and who weaned us from praising ourselves? Criticism gives rise to a lot of problems. Of course, you need to strive for perfection, but not at the expense of happiness and health, in the end. Believe me, the most beautiful people are happy people, and just at the moment when you stop biting yourself for your imperfections, they will evaporate like smoke.

At least for the sake of the experiment, give yourself time and do not criticize yourself, work with affirmations, you will see a result that will amaze you! It's about not about "selfishness", but about gratitude to God, to fate for the gift of life.

Without exception, all the events of your life until now have been created only by you, with the help of your beliefs based on past experience. They were created by you with the help of thoughts and words that you used yesterday, on last week, last month, last year, 10, 20, 30, 40 years ago, depending on your age.

However, everything is in the past. What matters is your choice of what to think and believe now. Always remember that these thoughts and words will create your future. Your strength is in the present moment. The present moment creates the events of tomorrow, next week, next month, next year etc. Notice what you think this moment when you read these lines. Are these thoughts positive or negative? Do you want these thoughts of yours to influence your future?

The only thing you need to work with, says Louise Hay, is your thought, and a thought can be consciously changed. No matter what the nature of your problem, it is only a reflection of your train of thought. For example, the thought flashed through your mind: “I bad person". A thought entails a feeling that you give in to. If you did not have such a thought, the feeling would be absent. And thoughts can be consciously changed. Change the sad thought and the sad feeling will disappear. It doesn't matter how long in your life you thought negatively. Power is always in the present moment, not in the past. So let's get free, right now!

We tend to think about the same things over and over again, and therefore it seems to us that we do not choose our thoughts. And yet, the initial choice is ours. We refuse to think about anything specific. Remember how often we refuse to think positively about ourselves.

Well, now let's learn not to think negatively about ourselves. It seems to me that everyone on this planet, everyone I know, with whom I work, suffers from self-loathing and guilt to one degree or another. The more self-hatred we have, the less luck we have.

Types of resistance to change according to Louise Hay

If you think it's hard for you to change, then you're dealing with the hardest lesson of your life. But one should not abandon the idea of ​​change because of such resistance. You can work on two levels:
1. Consciously accept your resistance.
2. Constantly change.
Watch yourself, see how you resist and, in spite of this, change.
Our actions often indicate that we are resisting.
This can be expressed:
- changing the topic of conversation
- Desire to leave the room
- go to the toilet, be late,
- get sick
- look to the side or out the window;
- refusing to pay attention to anything,
- in the desire to eat, smoke, drink,
- end the relationship.

Wrong beliefs that prevent change

Beliefs. We grow up with beliefs that later become resistance. Here are some of our limited beliefs:
- It won't suit me.
- Men (women) should not do this,
- It's not like that in my family.
- Love is not for me, it's too stupid,
- Too far to go
- Too expensive,
- Takes a lot of time
- I do not believe in this,
- I'm not like that.

Signs of transferring responsibility to other people for their actions and failures

"They are". We distribute our power to others and use it as an excuse to resist change. We have the following ideas in mind:
- The moment is not right.
"They" won't let me change.
- I don't have the right teacher, book, class, etc.
- My doctor says differently.
- It's their fault.
- First they must change.
- They do not understand.
- It's against my beliefs, religion, philosophy.
- We think of ourselves: Too old.
- Too young.
- Too fat.
- Too skinny.
- Too high.
- Too small.
- Too lazy.
- Too strong.
- Too weak.
- Too stupid.
- Too poor.
- Too serious.
- Maybe all this is not for me.

Resistance to change due to fear of the unknown:

The biggest resistance in us is due to fear - FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN. Listen:
- I'm not ready.
- I can't do anything.
- What will the neighbors say?
- I don't want to open this "can of worms".
- And what will be the reaction of my parents (husband, wife, grandmother, etc.)?
- I know too little.
- What if I hurt myself?
- I don't want others to know about my problems.
- I do not want to talk about this.
- Too difficult.
- I do not have enough money.
- I will lose my friends.
- I trust no one.
- I'm not good enough for that.
And the list could go on forever.

In his books, L. Hay says: “Change your beliefs and your life will change! Every thought we have can be changed! If unwanted thoughts visit you all the time, catch yourself on such thoughts and tell them: “Out!” Instead, accept a thought that can bring you good luck."

How can you change? Three main principles underlie this:
1. Desire to change.
2. Mind control.
3. Forgiving yourself and others.

Resentment Dissolution Exercise

Sit somewhere quiet, relax. Imagine that you are in a darkened theater and there is a small stage in front of you. Put on the stage the person you need to forgive (the person you hate the most in the world). This person may be alive or dead, and your hatred may be both in the past and in the present. When you clearly see this person, imagine that something good is happening to him, something that is of great importance to this person. Imagine him smiling and happy. Hold this image in your mind for a few minutes and then let it disappear.

Then, when the person you want to forgive leaves the stage, put yourself there. Imagine that only good things happen to you. Imagine yourself happy (howling) and smiling (smiling). And know that there is enough goodness in the universe for all of us. This exercise dissolves the dark clouds of accumulated resentment. Some will find this exercise very difficult. Each time you make it, you can draw in the imagination of different people. Do this exercise once a day for a month and see how much easier life becomes for you.

Exercise "Mental representation"

Imagine yourself as a small child (5-6 years old). Look deeply into this child's eyes. Try to see deep longing and understand that this longing is for love for you. Reach out your arms and embrace this small child, press it to your chest. Tell him how much you love him. Say that you admire his mind, and if he makes mistakes, then this is nothing, everyone makes them. Promise him that you will always come to his aid if necessary.

Now let the child become very small, the size of a pea. Put it in your heart. Let him settle there. When you look down, you will see his little face and you will be able to give him all your love, which is so important to him. Now imagine your mother when she was 4-5 years old, scared and longing for love. Stretch out your hands to her and tell her how much you love her. Tell her that she can count on you no matter what.

When she calms down and feels safe, take her to your heart. Now imagine your father as a little boy of 3-4 years old, he is also very afraid of something and cries loudly, inconsolably. You will see tears streaming down his face. You now know how to soothe small children, Hold him to your chest and feel his trembling body. Calm him down. Let him feel your love. Tell him that you will always be by his side. When his tears dry, let him also become very tiny. put it in your heart with you and your mom. Love them all, for there is nothing more sacred than the love of little children. There is enough love in your heart to heal our entire planet. But let's heal ourselves first. Feel the warmth spreading through your body, softness and tenderness. Let this precious feeling begin to change your life.

Louise Hay's exercise against negative statements

Take a piece of paper and make lists of all the negative things your parents said about you. Need to be carried out at least half an hour to remember such details. What did they say about money? What did they say about your body? About love and relationships between people? About your abilities? If you can, look at this list objectively and say to yourself, “So that’s where I get these thoughts from!”

So let's take Blank sheet paper and go a little further. Who else have you constantly heard negative statements from?
- From relatives.
- From teachers.
- From friends.
- From those who represented power.

Write it all down. When you write all this, see how you feel. Two sheets of paper that you have written on are thoughts that you urgently need to get rid of! These are just the thoughts that prevent you from living.

Exercise with a mirror

I ask the patient to take a mirror, look into his eyes and, mentioning his name, say: "I love you and accept you as you are." This is incredibly difficult for some! I see how different people react to this - some start crying, others get angry, and still others say they can't do it. One of my patients even threw a mirror at me and ran away. It took him several months to finally be able to look at himself in the mirror without experiencing negative emotions.

Exercise "Decision to change"

The attitude of many of us towards life is primarily a feeling of helplessness. We have long given up on life with its hopelessness and hopelessness. For some - the reason for this - countless disappointments, for others - constant pain etc. But the result is the same for everyone - a complete rejection of life and an unwillingness to see oneself and one's life in a completely different way, says L. Hay. Well, if you asked yourself the question: “what exactly causes constant disappointments in my life?”

What is it that you give away so generously that causes others to annoy you so much? Everything you give, you get back. The more irritated you are, the more you create situations that irritate you. I wonder if you were annoyed now, reading the previous paragraph? If yes, then that's great! That's why you need to change!

Now let's talk about change and our desire to change, says Louise Hay. We all want our lives to change, but we don't want to change ourselves. Let someone else change, let "they" change, and I'll wait. In order to change anyone else, you must first change yourself.

And you must change internally. We must change the way we think, the way we speak, and what we say. Only then will the real change come. I personally have always been stubborn, the author recalls. Even when I made the decision to change, this stubbornness got in the way. But I still knew that this was where I needed to change. The more I hold on to a statement, the clearer it becomes to me that it is from that statement that I need to free myself.

And only when you are convinced of this from your own experience, you can teach others. It seems to me that all excellent spiritual teachers had an unusually difficult childhood, went through pain and suffering, but learned to free themselves, which they began to teach others. Many good teachers are constantly working on themselves and this becomes their main occupation in life.

Exercise "I want to change"

Repeat the phrase: "I want to change" as often as possible. While saying this phrase to yourself, touch your throat. The throat is the center where all the energy needed for change is concentrated. And be ready for change when it enters your life.

Know also that if you think that somewhere you are unable to change yourself, that is where you need to change. “I want to change. I want to change." The forces of the Universe will automatically help you in your intention, and you will be surprised to discover more and more positive changes in your life.

METHODOLOGY for attracting financial stability

If you follow the advice of Louise Hay, then in order to receive an endless stream of blessings and abundance from the Universe, you must first create a mental attitude that accepts abundance. If you don't, then no matter how much you say you want something, you won't be able to let it into your life. But it doesn't matter how long you've been thinking about yourself "I'm a loser"! It's just a thought and you can choose a new one instead, right now!

Take a few minutes to focus on the success and prosperity you want to bring into your life by doing the exercise below. Record your answers on a separate piece of paper or in your diary.

How do you use money

Louise Hay recommends writing down three critiques about how you handle money. For example, you are constantly in debt, do not know how to save or enjoy the fact that you have them. Recall one example from your life when your actions did not follow these undesirable patterns.

For example:
I criticize myself for spending too much money and always getting into debt. I can't balance my budget.
I commend myself for paying all my bills this month. I make payments on time and with joy.

Working with a mirror
Stand with your arms outstretched and say: "I am open and receptive to every good." What do you feel about it? Now look in the mirror and say this affirmation again, feeling it. What kind of feelings do you have? Do you feel a sense of release from _________? (fill in the gap yourself) L. Hay advises doing this exercise every morning. This wonderfully symbolic gesture can heighten your prosperity consciousness and bring more blessings into your life.

Your feelings about money
According to Louise, it is necessary to examine your feelings of self-worth regarding money. Answer the following questions as honestly as possible.
1. Go to the mirror again. Look yourself in the eye and say, “When it comes to money, my biggest fear is…” Then write down your response and explain why you are feeling this way.
2. What did you learn about money as a child?
3. What era did your parents grow up in? What were their thoughts about money?
4. How was finance handled in your family?
5. How do you handle money now?
6. What would you like to change in your awareness of money and attitude towards it?

Ocean of Plenty with Louise Hay

Your prosperity consciousness does not depend on money; on the contrary, this cash flow depends on your prosperity consciousness. When you can imagine more, more will come into your life.

Imagine that you are standing on a seashore, looking out into the ocean and knowing that it reflects the abundance available to you. Look at your hands and see what kind of vessel you are holding in them. What is it - a teaspoon, a thimble with a hole, a paper cup, a glass cup, a jug, a bucket, a basin - or maybe a pipe connected to this ocean of abundance?

Look around and pay attention: no matter how many people are standing next to you and no matter what vessels they have in their hands, there will be enough water for everyone. You cannot rob another, and others cannot rob you.

Your vessel is your consciousness, and it can always be exchanged for a larger vessel. Do this exercise as often as possible to experience a sense of expansion and boundless flow.

Method for getting rid of any disease

Solving any medical problem It is important to talk to a medical professional. However, it is equally important to discover the roots of the disease within yourself. It is not possible to completely cure ill-health by dealing with the physical symptoms alone. Your body will continue to manifest sickness until you heal the emotional and spiritual issues that are the source of this sickness.

By doing the exercises below, you will get a better idea of ​​your own thoughts about health. (Please write your answers on a separate piece of paper or in your diary.)

Let go of health problems

True healing embraces the body, mind and spirit. I believe that if we "treat" an illness but don't deal with the emotional and spiritual issues that surround the illness, it will only reappear. So, are you ready to let go of the need that has contributed to your health problems? Keep in mind that when you have a state that you want to change, the first thing to do is to say, "I'm ready to let go of my need that created this state." Say it again. Repeat while looking in the mirror. Repeat this phrase whenever you think about your condition. This is the first step towards creating change.

The role of illness in your life

Now complete the following statements, trying to speak as honestly as possible:
1. I make myself sick in the following way...
2. I get sick when I try to avoid...
3. When I get sick, I always want ...
4. When I was sick as a child, my mother (my father) always ...
5. When I am sick, I am most afraid of ...

Your family history
Then take your time and do the following:
1. List all of your mother's illnesses.
2. List all of your father's illnesses.
3. List all your illnesses.
4. Do you see any connection between them?

Your beliefs about being unhealthy
Let's take a closer look at your beliefs about unhealthiness. Answer the following questions:

LOUISE HAY'S METHOD for getting rid of addictions (drugs, smoking, alcohol)

No book, let alone a single chapter, can completely replace therapy and 12-step programs in addiction recovery. However, change starts from within. Even the most best programs cannot help you if you are not ready to give up your addiction.

It's time to create a new vision for your future and let go of any beliefs and thoughts that don't support it. You can begin this process of changing your worldview by doing the following exercises. Record your answers on a separate piece of paper or in a diary.

Exercise "Release your addiction"

Make a few deep breaths; close your eyes; think of a person, place, or thing that you are addicted to. Think about the madness behind this addiction. You are trying to fix what you think is wrong with you by grasping at something that is outside of you.

The point of power is in the present moment, and you can start making changes today. Be willing to let go of that need. Say, “I am ready to let go of the need for _____________ from my life. I release it now and trust that the process of life will meet my needs.”

Repeat this every morning in your daily meditations or prayers. List 10 secrets about your addiction that you never told anyone about. If you're prone to overeating, you may have taken scraps out of the trash can.

If you are an alcoholic, you may have kept a bottle in your car to drink while driving. If you are a gambler, you may have put your family in danger by borrowing money to satisfy your gambling appetites. Be completely honest and open.

Now let's work on letting go emotional attachment to your addiction. Let the memories be just memories. By letting go of the past, we are free to use all our mental power to enjoy the present moment and create a brilliant future. We don't have to continue beating ourselves up for the past.

1. List everything you are willing to let go.
2. How ready are you to let go? Pay attention to your reactions and write them down.
3. What will you have to do to let it all go? How ready are you to do it?

The role of self-approval
As self-hatred plays very important role in addictive behavior, we will now do one of my favorite exercises. I have taught it to thousands of people and the results are always phenomenal. For the next month, whenever you think about your addiction, repeat to yourself over and over again: “I approve of myself.”

Do this 300-400 times a day. No, it's not too much! When you are anxious, you think about your problem at least as many times. Let the phrase "I approve of myself" become your eternal mantra, which you will repeat to yourself over and over again almost continuously.

The utterance of this statement is guaranteed to arouse in the mind everything that can contradict it. When a negative thought arises in your mind, such as “How can I approve of myself? I just ate two pieces of cake!” or “I never succeed” or any other negative “grunt” is the moment to seize mental control. Do not attach any importance to this thought.

Just see it for what it is, another way to get you stuck in the past. Gently say to that thought, “Thank you for sharing with me. I let you go. I approve of myself." Remember, thoughts of resistance have no power over you unless you choose to believe them yourself.

It would seem that the development of arthrosis is pure physiology. Joint diseases are caused by mechanical factors (excessive load, injuries) and biochemical processes ( metabolic disorders, deficiency or excess of certain hormones, enzymes, proteins). But some researchers are sure that the development of arthrosis is influenced not only by lifestyle (nutrition, level of physical activity), but also a way of thinking. In diseases of the joints, arthrosis and arthritis, one can find psychological roots, people with a certain temperament, personal characteristics are prone to them. Such relationships, the psychological causes of bodily ailments, are studied by psychosomatics.

The essence and history of psychosomatics

The expression "In healthy bodyhealthy mind» has long become winged. We tend to interpret it like this: mental health and spiritual comfort are a consequence of bodily health. But few people know that this quote was taken out of the context of the work of the Roman poet Juvenal, and the author put a completely different meaning into it. He spoke about the need to pray to the gods for a harmonious combination of mental and physical health, first of all, about the strength of the spirit, poise, wisdom, and the ability to endure troubles.

To paraphrase Juvenal, the essence of psychosomatics can be expressed in the words: "With an unhealthy spirit, the body will not be healthy." Diseases of our body are symptoms that something is wrong in our inner world.

Psychosomatics is a science at the intersection of medicine and psychology that studies the relationship between personal characteristics and bodily (somatic) diseases. The name comes from two ancient Greek words meaning soul and body. The idea of ​​the influence of the state of the soul on physical health originated in Ancient Greece, and the term appeared only at the beginning of the 19th century. Psychosomatic medicine developed rapidly in the United States in the first half of the 20th century.

Strong focus on research and treatment psychosomatic diseases gave the founder of psychoanalysis Sigmund Freud. He argued that thoughts, feelings, desires, which a person considers unacceptable and displaces into the area of ​​the unconscious, break back, provoking diseases. His method was aimed at helping patients to become aware of the repressed, the repressed.

Traditional medicine refers to psychosomatic diseases, the development of which leads to psychogenic factors:

  • destructive response to stressful situations(distress);
  • suffered psychological trauma;
  • internal conflict;
  • constant suppression of negative emotions.

Psychosomatics as a direction of alternative medicine claims that the cause of any bodily ailments lies in psychological problems Oh. There are tables that interpret the psychological background various diseases and recommendations are given on what can be changed in your inner world in order to embark on the path of recovery.

How do psychosomatic illnesses develop?

One of the causes of psychosomatic diseases may be an internal conflict, a subconscious unwillingness of a person to engage in certain activities, to justify the expectations of others that run counter to his own aspirations. Illness becomes an excuse: “I would like to, but I can’t.” In one of Dick Francis's detectives, the image of a man who grew up in a family of jockeys, but was afraid of horses, is displayed. He developed asthma, near the horses he began to suffocate. It was a way to avoid horseback riding without admitting to being afraid of it. Sometimes the body signals psychological problems with a series of symptoms.

If a person constantly sees something unpleasant, his vision may begin to weaken, if he is subjected to psychological pressure, heart problems, shortness of breath attacks may occur.

Quite often, the trigger for the development of the disease is a sense of guilt, including for an imaginary wrongdoing. A person believes that he is worthy of punishment, and the disease becomes such a punishment. Some people, on the contrary, fall ill in order to attract attention, to gain sympathy. And this is not hypochondria, not a search for symptoms of non-existent diseases. Such diseases are manifested by very real symptoms. Psychosomatic illnesses can be the result of suggestion, especially if the disease is suspected by an authoritative person, and his interlocutor is suggestible. Under the condition of a close psycho-emotional connection with a person who suffers from a certain disease, a similar disease can develop in his friend, relative by identifying himself with the patient.

Stress and psychosomatic illnesses

Most often psychosomatic illnesses are the result of frequent stress and improper response to them. Stress is the body's way of adapting to extreme conditions, strong influences. In response to such exposure, a number of hormones are released into the blood, blood vessels constrict, blood circulates faster, the body works “in accelerated mode” for some time. Animals in such a situation have two options for behavior: flee from danger or attack the enemy.

During active action excess hormones are spent to maintain such activity, and when the danger disappears, the work of the cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive systems normalizes. Therefore, animals are not threatened with illness due to stress.

People often cannot cope with stress, in particular, this is due to the fact that they suppress negative emotions, do not allow themselves to throw them out. As a result, the level of stress hormones goes off scale, they are not spent on the activities for which they were developed. Prolonged vasospasm, muscle tension provoke the development various diseases. If stressful situations occur frequently for a long time, it develops hormonal imbalance, weakening the immune system disease occurs or worsens.

The founder of the concept of stress, Hans Selye, identified two types of stress (general adaptation syndrome):

  • eustress - stress that promotes mobilization defensive forces and useful for the body;
  • distress - stress that leads to negative consequences, diseases, exhaustive adaptive capabilities. It can be acute and chronic, the most dangerous is chronic distress.

psychosomatic specialists

Relationship inner world, personality traits, character, behavioral stereotypes and susceptibility to certain diseases were studied by many experts:

  • Louise Hay, author of a number of works devoted to self-help, self-healing, including a reference book that lists the psychological causes of many somatic diseases and provides harmonizing thoughts that help overcome them;
  • Liz Burbo - Founder of the Listen to Your Body school, researcher in the metaphysics of disease;
  • Colin Tipping - creator of the radical forgiveness technique;
  • Luule Viilma, physician, parapsychologist;
  • Oleg Torsunov, candidate medical sciences, author of a number of books from the Laws of a Happy Life series.

All authors agree that our illnesses are the result of insufficient love for ourselves, including own body. Diseases are signals that the soul gives us through the body, talking about its problems. And we do not know how to listen to these signals, decipher them, so the disease progresses. Many of us have formed misconceptions about ourselves in childhood, some have endured psychological trauma that prevent you from being happy. If a person is unhappy, he is sick. You need to realize the psychological causes of your illnesses, believe that you are worthy of happiness and health, love yourself in order to embark on the path of healing. Such is the philosophy of Liz Bourbeau's metaphysics of disease.

Colin Tipping sees the root of all troubles, including diseases, in the fact that we are used to presenting ourselves as a victim of circumstances and accumulating negative emotions. They need to be recognized and released, and then love yourself with all the shortcomings, let go of your own sins. Denying our shortcomings and obsessing over the role of the victim, we spend a lot of energy, denying ourselves access to our own internal forces which can help get rid of misfortunes and diseases. The title of Louise Hay's book, The Power Within Us, speaks for itself. She claims that only we are responsible for everything that happens to us, and it is in our power to change our lives for the better, get rid of emotional problems and recover from physical illnesses.

Psychosomatic causes of arthrosis

Arthrosis is a disease of the joints, in which they are gradually destroyed, deformed. Depending on the localization of arthrosis, a person has difficulty performing certain actions with his hands, moving, and if the joints of the spine are affected, the posture changes. Arthrosis is accompanied by pain and limited mobility. What are these symptoms talking about?

What does pain and joint stiffness mean?

  • according to Liz Burbo, joint problems indicate a subconscious desire to move as little as possible, self-doubt, difficulty making decisions. Also, arthrosis can be the result of accumulated fatigue, through illness the body requires rest;
  • according to Louise Hay, joint diseases indicate lack of flexibility, lack of readiness for change, movement along a new path. That is, people with arthrosis can be called heavy on the rise;
  • Sergei Konovalov believes that people who allow themselves to be exploited, do not know how to refuse, suffer from a lack of love and want to achieve it at the cost of such reliability are prone to arthrosis. Joint diseases are the result of repressed resentment, a destructive reaction to criticism;
  • a similar point of view is shared by Luule Viilma, she believes that joint problems occur in those who consider themselves unloved, underestimated, try to prove their own importance, accumulate resentment and suffer from guilt;
  • according to Torsunov, desperate people suffer from pain in the joints, inflammation - touchy, degenerative-dystrophic processes (arthrosis) develop in those who are disappointed or unable to restrain anger, stiffness is a consequence of indecision. He also shares the view of mainstream medicine that inactivity and overuse are equally harmful to the joints;
  • Valery Sinelnikov considers joint diseases a scourge of people prone to aggression, experiencing negative emotions. The outburst of anger, irritation leads to the destruction of the joints, that is, arthrosis, and their suppression leads to inflammation (arthritis).

If we single out the most frequently repeated thoughts, it turns out that the development of such a disease as arthrosis may indicate an unwillingness to do something, to move somewhere. Indeed, in the end, damage to the joints in arthrosis leads to a limitation of the ability to move, self-service, labor activity. Self-doubt, low self-esteem, indecision are also important psychogenic factors in the development of arthrosis.

Joints are destroyed when a person takes on an unbearable burden, literally and figuratively. According to Liz Burbo, a sense of guilt, an exaggerated sense of responsibility and duty leads to disruption of the blood supply to tissues, once experienced humiliation and excessive pressure from other people - to obesity. And this important reasons development of arthrosis.

Causes of arthrosis of peripheral joints

Within the framework of metaphysical ideas about the nature of diseases, each organ is associated with a certain emotion, a character trait:

  • knees symbolize pride, a sense of self-exclusivity, fear of humiliation. Therefore, proud, stubborn, not flexible enough people who believe that making concessions means kneeling down, humiliating themselves, gonarthrosis develops, the legs at the knees stop bending. Diseases knee joints in athletes on the eve of responsible performances, they indicate a subconscious fear of defeat;
  • hip joints symbolize excessive responsibility, as well as a sense of shame, hips - material and domestic problems. Reliable people with a sense of their own inferiority, who are ashamed of themselves, their real and far-fetched shortcomings, are prone to coxarthrosis;
  • foot diseases, including arthrosis, develop in those who are absorbed in the daily routine and embittered due to the fact that they do not develop, are stuck in place. Sometimes pain in the joints of the foot indicates a desire to break away from reality, take refuge in a fantasy world;
  • hand joints suffer in those who are dissatisfied with the results of their own work, who find it difficult to give and receive;
  • shin - symbol life principles, so that arthrosis of the ankle can develop in those who have experienced the collapse of ideals. Also, a person can punish himself with illness for having deviated from his beliefs. Like other arthrosis of the joints of the legs, arthrosis of the ankle may indicate a reluctance to move on, fear of a new one. Another reason for failure ankle joint- vanity, the desire to flaunt their achievements;
  • shoulder joints suffer in people who are unnecessarily demanding of themselves and others;
  • arthrosis and other problems with elbow joints characteristic of those who defend their innocence and pave their way, regardless of others (pushing everyone with their elbows);
  • arthrosis wrist joint can threaten people who suffer from a sense of their own powerlessness, are embittered, would like to punish others for something.

One of the main symptoms of deforming arthrosis on late stage– osteophytosis, formation bone growths that protrude through soft tissues. They are interpreted as a desire to cling to a support due to doubts about security, lack of stability, and uncertainty about the future. Also, deformity of the joints may be due to the fact that a person considers himself imperfect. The sphere of life, which causes his dissatisfaction, correlates with the localization of osteophytes in arthrosis.

Causes of arthrosis of the spine

Spondyloarthrosis and other diseases of the spine is a separate issue. So, intervertebral hernia considered typical disease workaholics, people who would rather break down than admit that the load is too much for them, will ask for help. One of the main causes of back pain is stress.

The localization of arthrosis in a particular section of the spine has its own symbolism:

  • the coccyx symbolizes the main physiological needs, arthrosis of the sacrococcygeal joint develops with their infringement, lack of confidence in their own safety. It is often the result of an internal conflict between the desire to receive help, support from other people and the unwillingness to be dependent;
  • the loin connects the upper and lower divisions torso, metaphysically symbolizes the balance of opposites (for example, spiritual and physical). Any internal contradictions lead to problems in the joints. lumbar, including arthrosis. Pain in the upper part of the lumbar region affects people who are afraid of poverty, in the lower part - those who consider the desire for material wealth unworthy, base;
  • localization of diseases in the thoracic region indicates excessive demands. Arthrosis of the joints of this department affects people who are so afraid of being guilty that they try to shift their own blame onto others;
  • the neck connects the head and torso, in a metaphysical sense - spiritual and material. If the mind is in conflict with bodily impulses, diseases are localized in this department. This is the most flexible part of the body, cervical arthrosis is typical for people who are not flexible enough. Joint stiffness cervical makes it hard to look back. This symptom of arthrosis is typical for people who ignore problems, do not dare to control the situation, prefer ignorance to bad news.

The difference in the nature of arthrosis and arthritis

According to Liz Burbo, people disease-prone joints, often experience negative emotions, discontent. But in people prone to arthritis, anger, anger is often directed at themselves, in those prone to arthrosis - at others. Irritability, aggressiveness, irascibility usually lead to arthrosis. That is, if a person splashes out destructive emotions, the disease is caused by destructive processes in the joints. Such people are not inclined to take responsibility for their own problems and do not burn with enthusiasm to fix something, they prefer to blame others for everything. They consider themselves a victim and cultivate their resentment at universal injustice, they treat others with hostility.

People with arthritis, on the contrary, are often pleasant in communication, friendly, give the impression of restrained and balanced. But this calm is apparent, inside they can seethe anger, resentment.

However, due to the peculiarities of temperament or upbringing, they cannot afford to throw out negative emotions. They can also suppress positive emotions, for example, they are embarrassed to openly express their sympathy because of self-doubt, fear of being rejected. These are overly strict and demanding people, often they are so eager to achieve recognition that they do not allow themselves to rest, relax, and this is a direct path to joint disease. Accumulating tension and suppressed emotions trigger the mechanism of self-destruction, develop autoimmune diseases, inflammatory processes in the joints.

How arthrosis develops

How do these metaphysical concepts relate to the views of official medicine on the nature of arthrosis? The point of view that arthrosis develops as a result of unwillingness to do something is easy to justify. A person minimizes motor activity. As a result, the muscles that stabilize and support the joints weaken. The load on the joints increases, the articular cartilage wears out. Because the metabolic processes and blood circulation with a sedentary lifestyle slows down, the tissues of the joint do not receive enough nutrients, which exacerbates the degenerative-dystrophic processes in them.

It is even easier to explain how excessive demands and a hypertrophied sense of responsibility can lead to the destruction of the joints. If a person who strives for excellence, wants to achieve recognition, is busy physical labor, he constantly overloads his joints, and they wear out quickly.

If mental - spends a lot of time in one position, without movement, as a result, certain joints are subjected to prolonged static load, in addition, tissue trophism is disturbed, all these are risk factors for arthrosis. And stress official medicine directly includes among the causes of arthrosis and arthritis. How do they affect the joints?

  1. When a person experiences negative emotions, the glands internal secretion produce a number of hormones, in particular, thyroxine - the hormone of irritability, adrenaline - the hormone of aggression.
  2. A whole cascade of biochemical reactions is launched, resulting in the production of other biologically active substances that destroy hyaluronic acid(the main component of joint lubrication) and cells cartilage tissue joints, inhibit the production of new cells.
  3. Nervous tension leads to muscle tension, they put excessive pressure on the joints.

How to beat the disease

All experts in psychosomatics argue that the treatment of the disease must begin with the awareness of psychological problems, and work with them. Traditional treatment arthrosis is mainly aimed at eliminating the manifestations (symptoms) and consequences, and not at fighting the cause. If the psychological cause of arthrosis is eradicated, its medical, physiotherapeutic treatment will be much more successful.

And if you do not eliminate the cause of the problem, then the symptoms of arthrosis will soon return. The main components of the psychotherapeutic treatment of any disease are: to get rid of the fear of “they don’t like me”, to move from the position of a victim to the position of a person who is responsible for his own destiny, to accept and love himself.

  • Louise Hay recommends that to overcome lack of flexibility and fear of movement, convince yourself that you are ready for change and always choose the right direction;
  • according to Liz Burbo, patients with arthrosis should be more friendly to others, take responsibility for their own destiny. If you do not convince yourself that everything is bad, then negative emotions will not accumulate and splash out. It is important to learn to relax, to do any work with joy, not through force, to be able to refuse;
  • S. Konovalov points out that it is important for patients with joint diseases to learn to say “no”;
  • according to Torsunov, for the health of the joints it is necessary to be able to hope and forgive, to be hardworking, benevolent and polite;
  • Luule Viilma recommends first thanking the illness for opening its eyes to the problem, forgiving it for the pain it has caused, and letting it go. Then forgive yourself for your own imperfection and ask for forgiveness from your body for the fact that we subjected it to suffering.

Many diseases, including arthrosis of the joints, cannot be cured with either pills or procedures. According to psychosomatics, this happens because we are fighting the effect instead of turning our efforts to eliminating the cause of the disease. And the cause of almost any disease is in internal conflicts, dissatisfaction with oneself, the dominance of negative emotions.

One can be skeptical about this concept, but it has a rational grain. Many patients were surprised to find that bodily diseases receded after psychotherapy sessions, the correction of their own inner world in accordance with the postulates of psychosomatics. Try and you defeat your disease yourself!
