Отрывок из книги
The importance of the mind-body connection in creating health is well documented by ancient cultures as well as contemporary authors. Today this idea is often expressed in the simple statement, ‘You are what you think.’
It is tempting to dismiss this concept, because it sounds too easy to say, perhaps even a little condescending, if spoken by someone offering advice. However, the key message of this book is that whom we become does significantly depend on what we think.
.....
Very high levels of stress, such as from repressed anger, guilt, grief, resentment, fatigue, anxiety, poor self-care and so on, harm us. They put pressure on our immune, autonomic and muscular skeletal systems, right down to cellular regeneration. Stressful emotions also compromise our emotional and mental health.
Positive emotions help us heal; they align us with well-being and optimism. They support cellular regeneration, a strong immune system, a healthy heart and the maintenance of a balanced physical, emotional and mental state.
