Healing the Body:A Journey of Consciousness

What are the orgins of illness in life?Was it something we were born with or had a predisposition towards developing?Are illnesses an expression of how we think,what emotions we carry,dreams and memories we hold onto,what we eat,how we digest,eliminate and what sensory experiences we have.

I think an illness can express itself through a sum total of all these interpretations we choose and make in life. Healing occurs at many different levels and it all starts with  awareness.

Something to ponder upon.........

Namaste,
