Astreja Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 I'm of the opinion that the root cause of an illness is ultimately grounded in physiological factors including biochemistry and genetics, but the mind does play a large role. High stress can really mess with the body by messing with adrenaline and cortisol, and rumination on problems can be absolutely devastating for quality and quantity of sleep. Woo-woo aside, I see a therapeutic role for such things as mindfulness practice as it can de-fang the kind of thinking that weakens our physical defenses. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is weird bk even in religions of jainism with it's emphasis on self development, and that karma makes bad stuff, they do acknowledge behaviour as a big part not just the mental. I'm woo fan but my kind of woo is , should I say, sort of body positive and more mind body equality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voice Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Despite the fact that you've treated me like shit in the past, florduh, I'll answer your question honestly and with integrity and forgiveness. It's all of the above. Genetics, toxins, wrong thinking, and I'll add, family problems, external stresses pushing us to our limits, and perhaps, arguably, spiritual alignments. Too much darkness, not enough light. Too much light, not enough darkness. For what it's worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been a number of health studies that point to the power of positive thinking. There is a link between how one perceives reality, and one's future and health. https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/wellness-and-prevention/the-power-of-positive-thinking 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
