Behind the diseases: What truly makes you SICK!

Have you ever wondered what makes people sick? Sometimes it’s obvious, sometimes not so much!

The holistic approach towards health sees the person as a whole, and the physical body as being an incredible biological machine! It takes in consideration social, emotional, psychological, environmental and even spiritual factors.

Our physical body reflects all these aspects and when something is out of alignment, we have diseases! Many times when we take medication, we are dealing only with the symptoms, we are not treating the cause!

Dr. Bruce Lipton is a doctor of medicine famous for his book “The Biology of Belief” and on his interviews, he says that medicine is very efficient when dealing with traumas, with all other diseases it fails because it doesn’t look at the person as whole being!

In the holistic vision, different people that have the same disease might have different causes, and also might be more than one factor. So today, I will talk about four possible causes that might make you sick: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual!

Physical Causes

It’s quite easy to recognize the physical causes because they are related to the lifestyle, so it’s quite obvious to identify! The body is a biological machine, if you abuse it, it breaks!

People underestimate the impact their habits have on their bodies after some years, especially food! When they are young, the metabolism is new and works well, but over time and with the consumption of too many toxins, it gets rusty and starts to malfunction!

The body has an amazing capacity to heal itself, but if you spend many years causing damages to it, if it’s still within a reversible limit, will take many years to recover itself!

Usually people start to feel the consequences of their habits when they are 50 or 60 years old, and the older you get, the harder it’s to change your lifestyle and your habits!

Besides food, other types of abuse are drinking, smoking, using drugs or even extreme physical activities that push your body beyond limits!

Mental Causes

Your mind might create diseases as well and I will talk about three different ways it might happen.

The first happens because of things you learn during childhood, you know when mothers say things like:

“If you walk barefoot, you will get sick!”
“If you go outdoors with a wet hair, you will get sick!”
“If you drink something cold, you will get sick!”

If you believe these things, probably you will spend the rest of your life getting sick on these situations because your consciousness is the God of your body, what your mind commands, your cells will obey!

The second happens when your thoughts impact your emotions, and when they get confused, your energy gets out of alignment, and as a consequence it might affect your physical body!

It might be something that happened and you didn’t digest very well, it might be something imaginary as fear and anxiety about the future, or even a story full of sorrows that you repeat many times and carry for a whole life!

The third happens when your subconscious creates a disease to benefit you! That’s quite hard to deal because your conscious mind has no idea about the goals of your subconscious mind.

For example, let’s say that a child doesn’t feel loved anymore because the mother just had another baby, she can develop a psychosomatic disease as a way to get the mother’s attention and to feel loved again.

This happens to grown ups as well, and even if they want to get better in a conscious level, the subconscious mind might interfere with the healing process if it is still gaining something from the disease.

Emotional Causes

About the emotional causes, I just spoke about them on my last post “How to Deal with Emotions” (click here to read), where I mentioned that they might have three possible causes: your thought patterns, your inner child or lack of alignment with your soul, which is a spiritual cause as well!

As you can see, everything is connected! The thoughts impact emotions, which in turn impact the energies, and the physical body only reflects what’s happening on all the other levels!

You gotta think about emotions as if they were food, if you ingest toxins from time to time, your body can eliminate them, but if you do it constantly, you will get sick! Everything gets stored in your body, anger gets stored in your liver, fear in your kidneys and sadness in your lungs, as any other major trauma!

What happened to Louise Hay is a good example, she was sexually abused when she was a child, and because of it, she developed cervical cancer when she was 50 years old. She managed to heal herself in a holistic way, dealing with her sorrows, and lived healthily until 90 years old!

Her case also illustrates a spiritual cause, which I will be covering on the next topic!

Spiritual Causes

The spiritual causes are more complex, so I will talk about 3 ways that you can get sick because of your soul!

The first happens when the soul chooses! I know that’s quite hard to believe it, but souls chose to go through a lot of challenges and it happens because of an infinite number of reasons, might be a collective mission, karma, personal growth or even to help another person to learn something from the situation.

In Louise Hay’s case, the sexual abuse and the cancer set her life on a path to help millions of people, which wouldn’t have happened if it wasn’t for the challenge she had to deal with.

The second happens when you have remains from a past life on your energetic body and they manifest as physical problems in this life. Dolores Cannon didn’t believe in reincarnation until one of her clients found the cause of an illness in a past life.

When something traumatic happens, it might leave a mark on the subtle body that remains in the next life, for example, a death by drowning might cause asthma, eczema might be related to burns and being attacked by a lion might result in an allergy to cats.

The third spiritual cause happens when your life is not aligned with what your soul wants, which will result in negative emotions. You might chose to ignore them, but they will still be there and they will eat you alive inside out! And this can manifest as a serious illness, such as cancer or heart attack, or even an accident to help you to get your life back on track.

If you are going though some disease, keep in mind that the cause might be a combination of many factors, and you are the only person that has all the asnwers! You just need to go deep within yourself and learn to open your mind to become aware of what’s going on in the depths of your being.
