When it comes to physical health, we frequently ignore the root causes in favor of the more visible symptoms. We might utilize drugs to numb the suffering without addressing the emotional or psychological causes that are at its core. In the field of mind-body medicine, it is widely accepted that in order to truly heal, we must look underneath the surface and address the root of the problem. In this article, we'll look at why it's crucial to treat physical problems at their source, even if doing so requires addressing unpleasant feelings or unfavorable truths.
Let's take a moment to play devil's advocate. Why bother with all this inner conflict, you might be thinking. "Why do all this internal work? What's the damage if I can just take a tablet to get the discomfort to go away? The damage is that you're passing on a more profound healing that has the power to genuinely change your life. When bodily symptoms are ignored, it's like placing a band-aid on a wound that won't get better.
Think about it: if you frequently experience headaches, taking medications may momentarily reduce your discomfort but won't deal with the underlying cause. It's possible that you're under stress at work or that you're repressing your unhappiness or anger. The physical manifestations of these emotional variables can also emerge as headaches, so unless you deal with them, the headaches will continue to occur. By spending time investigating the underlying problem of your symptoms, you can start to heal from within.
The fact that this approach is not always simple must be noted. It might occasionally feel difficult and uncomfortable to confront our feelings. But in the end, it's worthwhile. We can let go of ingrained behaviors and ideas that are no longer helpful to us by identifying and processing our emotions. We can develop new ways of being that promote our mental, emotional, and physical health. We can become consciously aware of what our body or Soul is trying to communicate.
In the end, true wellbeing depends on addressing the underlying causes of physical discomfort. Although it challenges us to look past the obvious and face difficult feelings, the result is worthwhile. We may change our lives from the inside out by doing the inner work. So keep that in mind the next time you're tempted to reach for a fast fix.
