Why are we afraid of the body?

We are afraid of our body because we think it is out of our control.Even the world's largest religion pays little attention to the body as an integral part of the human being. We hear about the soul and the soul, but we learn to see it as something hanging somewhere within us.

We are guided that we must feed and exercise the body well, that it is like a dumb pet that needs training to be good for us.This leads to the strange belief that we are with bodies that don't follow the rules, and that even if we do stay healthy, the body will get sick.

Another view is that we are born with defective bodies and eventually get sick because of genetic influences.Therefore, life is an inevitable ongoing struggle for health.

What is a belief system?

The belief system is the norm of life. They contain ideas and education that we inherit from our families and others as we grow up. Beliefs often govern the way we think and how we act or react to ourselves, others and the world around us.

For example, believe that all life is equal, and believe in kindness and helping others.

However, belief systems can also be destructive.For example, the lack of serious upbringing in childhood leads to distrust of others and the world is a dangerous place.This leads to the following mindset:

· There is no self-esteem without the ability to do good.

· Others can't be trusted and will always let us down.

· The world is a harsh environment full of dangerous people who, if given the chance, would do us harm.

Although the above example is at two different extremes, and most of us fall somewhere in the middle, it serves as an example of how experience affects our belief system.

Health belief

We can develop a belief in a positive understanding of our body's signals, such as that we are generally healthy and rarely ill.Illness usually recovers easily. This leads to the following mentality:

1. We are healthy and rarely get sick. We know our bodies and can detect health or signs.

2. While learning is taking place in all areas of health, we are very grateful for all types of health approaches, such as doctors and natural therapies.

3. Diseases may occur, but are rare and recover quickly.We have not focused on social explanations of disease.

We are also susceptible to beliefs like the following:

Growing up with people who talk a lot about health issues.We grew up with a belief system that says cancer is inevitable and always strikes before the age of 60.The family life is negative, full of health problems, aches, headaches and illnesses.

This leads to the following notion: · We're going to get sick.

· Everyone gets sick, and any symptoms are in the early stages of a severe (and often fatal) illness.

· The world is a disease, disease can prove everywhere, we are all going to die young and painful.

The above belief systems are two extremes, but it is very true that each of us has probably thought about the problem of a mild symptom leading to death.

Promote belief

Actions that promote belief are an integral part of achieving good health and well-being.

Beliefs are not always based on truth.In many cases, our existing beliefs are based on false beliefs, which can lead to stress and anxiety.We know that chronic stress can lead to illness.

The cure is to recognize the wonderful connections between our bodies and our minds, including the effects of our inner emotions on our physical health.The energy of the Earth comes from the ground, and the energy we absorb from the universe comes in overhead.When it enters the body, this energy can fuel the cells, but most of us have emotions that keep it from happening.Emotions can be good or bad. It changes the way we feel and affects the chemical balance of our bodies.

Energy is as important in the body as what we see and touch.

The body's systems, organs and cells contain emotional chemical energy
