- Treating the Source of Problems
Some people just treat symptoms
rather than the source of a problem
. This leads only to temporary relief from pain. To fully recover, it is
important we find the root of an illness. Listed below are common sources of
illnesses, with suggested solutions.
Control
Dramas - Be aware that
other people may be draining you of your Energy
and making you ill, at work or at home. They may not be intentionally
doing this, but it does happen and can be a cause of illness. When people are
upset, angry, afraid or even ill, they try to control the situation using
‘dramas’ such as: intimidation
, interrogation
, aloofness
or forever asking ‘why me?’ to drain you of your Energies. The
answer is not to play their games. For example, if someone is trying to
intimidate you, recognise what they are doing and resist their efforts. They may
try harder, but if you
hold your own for just a short while, they will back off or start to
negotiate with you. This way they will leave your Energies alone. If necessary,
protect yourself by visualising a shield of gold or white light around
you
.
Fears - We all
have fears, another common cause of illness. Notice if your fears are getting
out of hand. Try to
come to terms with them. Remember you are not alone. If necessary,
seek professional help and guidance to help yourself.
Giving
too much of yourself - People who spend their time giving too much of themselves to others can
become ill due to this, particularly working parents. They leave themselves to
the last, not eating regularly
or eating enough, let alone eating a balanced diet. They get run down
and tired,
and find that their bodies cannot cope. If this is the source of
your illness, then make time for yourself. Otherwise you may not be around to
care for those you love.
Major
Traumas - Often illness is due to a major trauma at
some point in life and if this applies to your illness, you may need to come to
terms with this before you can start to get well. This can be very difficult, so
if necessary seek professional help.
Each
new journey starts with a first step
Negative
Emotions - Most negative emotions can be the
source of illness. These include - Jealously
, Anger
, Hatred
or any other that is
very intense. There is no harm in being angry, but if you hold on to the anger,
then it has been come out sometime or somehow. Try not to bottle up your
emotions, let them go.
Past
Problems - Resolving past
problems is an important process. To resolve past problems, try writing them
down on paper and then burning the paper. Talk to a friend - a problem shared is
often a problem halved. We all know that we are unable to change the past, yet
it is tempting to dwell
or hold on to it even though this may make us ill. Make a concerted
effort to
live in the present. Try to put past problems down to experience and
let them go. If you find you cannot do this and your life is being dictated by
past issues, seek professional advice. With a counsellor’s help you could
resolve the problems and put them in the past forever.
Stress - Unfortunately, all of us have to cope with stress.
Patients with stress-related illnesses often find it’s related to the work or
home environments.
Reduce stress by changing your
habits: take your time, pause between tasks, build in regular rest
periods and meal breaks. Communicate
your needs to others and avoid taking on too many projects. If you
can’t change some of your habits, try to release your stress in other ways. Go
for quiet walks, read, listen to music or take up sport.
Stubbornness - Believe it or
not, stubbornness is another cause of illness
. If you are stubborn, stop and think: ‘Is my stubbornness making
me ill?’ Have people told you that your stubbornness will be the death of you?
If so, give a little. Stop being so stubborn. You may say: ‘That’s my
nature, why should I change?’ Why indeed! What is it you’re afraid of? Why
are other people’s ways of doing things are so threatening to you?
- Weakened
immune system - In
our current stressful environment the immune system can be impaired leading to
illness. Try and keep a balanced life and ensure your have a good diet.
