Why Do We Get Sick?

Our natural state is one of good health and vitality . When we are sick there is an imbalance or blockage in our  total energy level . This may mean we maybe blocking our emotions , not loving our self enough , limiting beliefs or afraid to ask for what want in our life . Sickness is a sign of suppressed emotions .

Research shows that 90% of our sickness is caused by our emotional issues such as unresolved anger, resentments and other negative emotions. Cancer stricken  patients are found to have unresolved  emotional issues, that is why they are sick. These suppressed emotions are stored up in our bodies which prevents energy flowing in our body and eventually causes symptoms and sickness so that our attention goes to these unresolved issues.

On top of this, our busy lifestyle has cause us to rely so much  on processed ready to eat foods – canned goods , so called “junk” foods , chemically laden fruit juices and drinks. Our career has caused too much stress also which contributes to diseases such as hypertension , diabetes, chronic fatigue syndrome, etc.

Sometimes we get sick because our “ spirit” is sick. The state of our spirit manifest in our body. We get sick because we are spiritually deprived. Because we have the  material things  we need, our  tendency to overlook our spiritual self.

We shop, we dine, we play but we forget to go and hear the Holy Mass even just on a Sunday . We overlook  our responsibilities with the Lord.

Relationship issues causes us to be sick.  Differences with parents, spouse or children depresses us. Do the people around you uplift our spirit ? or put down our self-esteem ?

Environmental  toxins  causes us to be sick. Pollution, waste and chemicals causes asthma and other air borne diseases. Waste generate germs in our surroundings.

Some with what they call Type A personality are prone to stress related disorders such as cardiovascular diseases, gastro intestinal, fatigue , stress ,hypertension, migrane headaches , ulcers , asthma , depression and chronic diarrhea. 

These people have a strong sense of urgency , they are highly competitive and gets easily angry when he doesn’t get his way. Although they are successful however they have a high incidence of the stress related disorders.

So you see a lot of factors affect our health …we just have to be aware what causes us to be sick…Is it the food that we eat ? Or the emotional pains we carry in our hearts ? the pollution in our environment ?

Knowing these information, lifestyle change will heal us from our so called sickness …  of course  , prayers help also.
