Interface between physical, emotional, and mental symptoms
Can emotions be the cause of the disease?
EMOTIONS BECOME CAUSES OF THE DISEASE ONLY WHEN THEY ARE EITHER LONG-LASTING, OR VERY INTENSE, OR BOTH. But we know that our emotional and mental states affect our internal organs and VICE VERSA.
Let’s start to look for the interface between main organs and mental and emotional energies they realated to.
Lungs are responsible for our ability to live in harmony. Lungs are related to our COMMUNICATION.
