Emotional Immunity: Why Is It Important And How To Strengthen It?

When something hurts, you go to the doctor to find out what is the cause of the ailment. As a rule, it turns out that it is not bacteria and viruses that are to blame, but reduced immunity. Why is this happening? Is nature conceived regular drops and rises in the work of a seemingly ideal protective system?

Metaphysics of diseases

If we consider the "mechanism" of the onset of the disease from the point of view of metaphysics, then one very important pattern should be noted: in our body, each organ is responsible for a certain mental sphere. As you know, fear lives in the stomach, love in the heart, and in the "liver" - a former boyfriend.

The work of any organ is synchronized with a specific emotion, and this is not a fantasy, but a scientifically proven phenomenon of psychosomatics. It is not for nothing that they say that all diseases are from the nerves: if some negative arose in the head, then later it will manifest itself in the body. Mental viruses in this case are negative information that our brain constantly loads into itself. Hundreds of fears, resentments, anger, misunderstandings attack immunity at the energy level. And in the end, the tenth bad news of the day breaks through the defenses, affecting the emotional immunity. Further, this process goes to the physical level.

Physical health is only a reflection of energetic health. Calm, happy people rarely get infected with viruses, since they have an “antivirus” installed in their brains for positive and love of life. But, alas, we cannot always control our emotional background. Therefore, let's figure out which five viruses are the most common in our time, and how to deal with them.

Virus 1. Bad thoughts

Attacks in case of idleness, despondency, when a person is engaged in an uninteresting business for him. If you are really carried away by some process, then negative thoughts will not find a place on the disk of your consciousness. The brain will delete them, like ballast, or archives them - in case it has nothing to process.

What to do?

Carry yourself with ideas and deeds, and in a variety of areas. This can be training: deepening skills and knowledge in the industry that interests you (culture, art, finance, self-development), advanced training in your specialty, mastering a related or new profession. Or pleasant household chores (for example, cooking or planting flowers), hobbies, attending creative workshops, group dancing or singing classes. Try new things, saturate yourself with positive emotions!

Virus 2. Excessive anxiety

Dozens of experiences attack dubious people every day: “What if I get sick?”, “And if they fire me?”, “What did he think of me?”, “What if they don’t like it?”. As Mark Twain said: "During my long life I have experienced many troubles, most of which never happened." However, this does not reduce the level of anxiety - on the contrary, negative thoughts draw more attention to themselves, which negatively affects emotional and physical health.

What to do?

Live in the present, fixate on what you are doing at the moment: starting with a simple saying to yourself "I am going to the kitchen", "I cut bread" or "I turn on the TV" and ending with concentration on the breath, "inhale-exhale." This is a very effective oriental practice that helps to stay in a conscious state here and now.

Virus 3. Negative people

The worst virus on our list, especially if the source of negativity is close people, because it is more difficult to distance yourself from them. After all, you will not refuse to communicate with your parents or other family members. The problem is that even in a calm state, such viruses poison your nervous system by their mere presence. It is impossible not to notice them. To drive away is impolite. It is unbearable to endure.

What to do?

Perform an anti-virus cleaning of contacts. Do not be afraid to tell the person: “I treat you well and I do not blame you for anything. But if you continue to behave in the same spirit, we will have to exchange exclusively postcards. " When it comes to your colleague, keep contacts to a minimum, communicating with him formally and only on business. Toxic family relationships should also not be started: consult a psychologist to work through the situation and regain mental balance (see also: "From stress and chaos to harmony and efficiency: what is mindfulness").

Virus 4. Genetic junk

These are the attitudes that pass in your family from generation to generation. For example, my grandmother survived the blockade of Leningrad, and now everyone is eating their bread, regardless of whether they are hungry or not. As a result, some are obese, some have diabetes, and some suffer from eating disorders. Or he cannot afford to buy caviar once again, as it is “expensive” - although there are no problems with money, in general.

What to do?

Find and "reflash" such programs forcibly, since they can manifest themselves at the physical level in the form of various psychosomatic diseases. Therefore, the first and most important step is to realize the problem, and then work with it systematically, changing the attitudes imposed from the outside. If you can't do this on your own, hurry up to contact a specialist.

Virus 5. Whining

This is the most insidious virus, because it always seems to us that if we whine, it will certainly become easier. Therefore, they get hooked on it very imperceptibly, and gradually they get so used to fixing their attention on the negative that the sun becomes too bright, the ice cream is too sweet, and the love is bitter.

What to do?

To begin with, translate any negative thought into a positive attitude. For example: "Today the sun is just beating down, it's so hot!" “Therefore, it is especially pleasant to be in a room with air conditioning” or “But the skin will acquire a beautiful tanning tint”. Subsequently, give up all unproductive whining.
