"95%
of the people on this planet are sick,
or are taking some form of
synthetic medication."
Ramesh
Ramkumar
When
something goes wrong and we experience trauma or grief, most people
believe that a prescription from the doctor is the only reliable
treatment, even if the side effects are unpredictable or problematic.
The
view that each of our problems is separate and unrelated causes
confusion: instead of seeing the connection of one illness with
another, and treating the cause, we can easily become lost in a wild
goose chase of medication and treatments. But in the meantime our
body's amazing, resourceful, and intelligent immune system is no
closer to identifying the cause, and resolving the problem.
One
has also to bear in mind that in 2011 the value of the global
pharmaceutical market grossed 880 billion dollars...

Synthetic
medication is a central mechanism in medical practice, both for
psychiatric treatments and for anaesthesia used in surgery. How could
it serve the medical world, (the accepted authority on healing) to
promote the knowledge that the mind and the emotions play a causal
role in illness? Or that wellness can be achieved through natural,
non-synthetic processes?
"When
we take responsibility for our own healing process, we play the role
of director with our illness, instead of being directed by it."

Wilding
It
falls to each of us then, as individuals, to re-search this area, and
recover ways of well-being that are thousands of years old. As the
increasing archive of case studies and anecdotal evidence comes to
light, and accumulates around the topic of psychosomatic illness and
holistic healing, there is a growing increase in public interest, and
more individuals are asking the question:
What
effect do my emotions and belief systems
have on my body?
Considering
the relevance of this question is already to have taken the first
step in healing.
"Psychosomatic
disorders are characterized by disruption of normally occurring
mechanisms of the body which involve the nervous system,
physiological functions, endocrine system and the immune system...
Studies have shown that stress has a direct effect on disease risk."
Lucce
Lopes de Mello, MD
Translation:
Psychosomatic
illness (psycho = mind, somatic = body) occurs when cells in a
certain area behave dysfunctionally, being disrupted from their
natural order by stress
(anxiety,
depression, insomnia).
The effect of stress in the cells can manifest in any of the body's
systems:
- The nervous system, e.g. anxiety, insomnia, concentration
- Physiological functions, e.g. digestion, blood pressure, cell growth
- Endocrine system, (hormones) e.g. emotional imbalances, thyroid, pituitary
- Immune system, e.g. bacterial or viral infection, white blood cell count
The
Value Of Thought
Shortly
after the turn of the 20th century, astonishing and shocking
discoveries shook the field of modern science. Quantum mechanics
showed atoms to be infinitely complicated and unpredictable, and
later experiments (G. Jahn, Princeton) revealed that the human
mind has a noticeable and undeniable effect on the behaviour of
atoms. Newtonian science remains valid, but only to a certain
point of magnification: molecular. The rules of atomic behaviour are
so unimaginable, that modern string theories read quite a lot like
science fiction!
Atoms
(elements on the periodic table, e.g. Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen)
connect in certain ways to form molecules (e.g. water, acid, fat).
Molecules connect in certain ways to form cells, cells form organs,
organs form bodies. If thoughts coming from your own mind can
influence the behaviour of the atoms in your body, then your thoughts
are also having an influence on the behaviour of your cells.
"A
new perspective to treatment of psychosomatic disorders focuses on
the fact that patients' minds should not be considered as separate
from the body; hence treatment should focus on total health
improvement. Some therapeutic methods that have found to be effective
in psychosomatic disorders are ... stress management techniques,
hypnotherapy, and meditation. Smoking cessation, reduction of alcohol
consumption, establishing an exercise regime, and nutritional
supplements also play a role in the recovery from psychosomatic
disorders."

NBSR
treatment of psychosomatic illness:
- During analysis, key life-style points such as quality of sleep, diet, and amount of exercise are taken in to consideration, and any deficiencies identified as part of the solution
- The analysis component also addresses all possible existing stress, from work, relationship, or financial sectors. Managing stress is a primary tool in the NBSR process
- Before entering hypnosis, the solution is agreed upon, and an affirmation is designed using the Kappasinian method, for use in self hypnosis
- Hypnotherapy, binaural beats, and Reiki create a state of mind which is conducive to accepting the solution
- Meditation is taught in hypnosis (hypo-meditation). This technique is perhaps the most powerful of all, as it teaches control over thought
- While in hypnosis, visualisation focusses the individual's thoughts on the solution and re-affirms the experience as something real that can be repeated
