Why do we get sick? If we exclude congenital (at the genetic level) causes of diseases, then the main ones include: environmental factors, nutrition, unhealthy lifestyle, injuries, psychological reasons. According to various studies, from 40 to 90 percent of all diseases can be classified as psychosomatic. That is, a significant number of diseases have psychological causes. How do we treat ourselves? Among the main problems in the treatment of identified diseases, we can highlight such resource factors as time and money. We are interested in a speedy cure for illnesses and, naturally, using various sources of information, we are looking for methods and structures that offer them for our healing as inexpensively and quickly as possible. Unfortunately, diseases caused by long-term negative factors with accumulating destructive consequences for the body cannot be cured quickly, as if by magic. And in the case of psychosomatic disorders, the effect of medications alone is not enough for a complete cure. In any case, you will have to undergo a course of treatment or psychocorrection depending on the type of disease. Understanding that a disease can lead or is already clearly leading to destructive effects on the body, we find both time and money to take care of our health. The result depends on many factors. This includes the competence of the chosen specialist, the correctness of the diagnosis, the adequacy of the prescribed method for treatment and recovery, and much more. There are no universal recipes here. Often, having entered (already forcedly) on the path to recovery, we find ourselves in a situation of “walking through torment”, when one after another the specialists to whom we are referred make conflicting diagnoses, prescribe ineffective (and even with negative side effects) medications and procedures. As a result, we run out of money and have problems at work. And we either stop treatment, leaving everything until better times, or we “sit down” on medications or procedures that relieve us of constant pain and discomfort, without ever understanding the causes of our ailments. Or we begin to engage in self-healing, engaging in one of the exotic methods of healing - yoga, meditation, fitness, esoteric practices. The few who are lucky enough to “meet” the method that suits them will be lucky. What about the numerous disorders associated with psychological problems that cannot be treated with medication? Things are still much more complicated here! Are there any techniques that allow our body to restore itself, to heal itself? After all, in living nature, numerous representatives of the fauna do not run to doctors. Modern Aibolit only deal with domesticated or captive animals. Self-healing mechanisms operate in the wild. What about people? In connection with the above, I would like to quote the words of the famous Russian psychologist Luria A.R. “There are no only mental or only somatic diseases, but there is only a living process in a living organism; Its vitality lies precisely in the fact that it combines both the mental and somatic side of the disease.” We will talk, first of all, about such a universal adaptive natural mechanism as stress and its impact on modern man. Without going into details (the mechanism of stress is described in sufficient detail in the psychological and medical literature), we can talk about muscle clamps and blocks that arise as a result of stress as a consequence of unreacted emotions. In living nature, two response mechanisms operate simultaneously - stress and relaxation (relaxation). A person cannot relax on his own due to the peculiarities of his mental reactions to stress. Relaxation is the very mechanism for triggering self-restoration and self-healing, which naturally exists in living nature as a reverse!
