The knee is a large and complex joint that connects the femur and tibia in the human body.
Common causes of knee pain are:
- great physical activity,
- injury,
- sedentary lifestyle,
- overweight, malnutrition,
- wearing uncomfortable shoes (including high heels),
- the presence of concomitant diseases (flat feet, diseases of the spine, etc.),
- hormonal imbalance,
- spasm of muscles, blood vessels,
- circulatory disorders.
Knee diseases are divided into three groups depending on their nature, but at the same time they have common symptoms: difficulty walking, clicking, pain worse when bending the knee, swelling.
Inflammatory(arthritis, bursitis, tendonitis, etc.) ailments are characterized by edema, high fever, suddenness, acute pain, etc.
Dystrophic(arthrosis, osteoarthritis, tendopathy, meniscopathy, etc.) diseases arise due to congenital or hereditary factors and develop gradually.
Post-traumatic diseases occur as a result of injuries and injuries.
Psychosomatics of knee ailments
The knee is a movable joint that provides movement forward, movement towards the future. Knee ailments, limiting physical freedom of movement, symbolize that a person has internal obstacles preventing him from moving forward In my life.
It can be stress and overexertion that affect some parts of the brain. In this case, the nervous system begins to send distorted impulses, which negatively affects the musculoskeletal system. As a result, muscle spasms, pinching of the meniscus, cracks in the cartilage tissue occur. Or there is hypertonicity of the muscles in the legs, and they strongly compress the joint. Hence, a strongly compressed joint loses its flexibility and mobility, there is a risk of dislocation, etc.
For example, a person experiences anger due to the fact that he has to go where he does not want to (literally or figuratively). There is a release of hormones that inhibit the production of joint fluid. If a person constantly experiences anger, then the joint will remain without the necessary fluid, which will lead to the appearance of an ailment.
The joints in the human body (including the knees), according to Dr. V. Sinelnikov, are responsible for bringing aggressive feelings (irritation, anger, anger) into action. If the negative is not released, it begins to accumulate in the articular cups, which leads to ailments.
Arthritis, like inflammation of the joint, clearly indicates that the brain and emotions of a person are inflamed (anger, anger, resentment as anger directed inward).
Or take a disease associated with the destruction of the joint - arthrosis, which, as a rule, occurs more often in older people. What leads to the destruction of this mobile joint responsible for moving forward? Perhaps the fact that they are distrustful of the future, do not see prospects ahead, and therefore are afraid to move forward? That is, fear fetters their movement in life (and we remember that fear is a very strong destructive feeling).
If a person suffers from an inward or outward curvature of the knees, then, according to Liz Burbo, this means that the person it is difficult to be direct and move straight towards the goal.
Psychological causes of knee pain
Psychologists have found that right knee ailments are associated with negative, aimed at the male aspect: relationships in society, including work, on a man or himself.
Alexander Astrogor indicates that the right knee symbolizes “I’m with my problems”, “I don’t want to”, “I won’t do what they incline me to”. This Protestant man with their principles, which do not correspond to reality.
According to Astrogorus, the left knee is "The world around me", and it reacts to people with whom a person lives or communicates constantly.
The left knee, as a symbol of the feminine aspect, becomes ill when negative is directed at personal life, family, woman or oneself.
An example of such negatives can be pride, unwillingness to make concessions, listen to the opinions of other people, megalomania, resentment for being unrecognized in society, selfishness. If a person constantly lives in this negativity, then it will lead to coldness, emotional freezing, inflexibility, both in thinking and in the knee joint.
Destructive for the knees are such negative emotions and qualities as resentment towards others, greed, criticism, apathy due to low self-esteem.
Another psychosomatic reason is that knees as a symbol of worship and reverence, indicate negativity directed at parents, family, gender: detachment from the family, unwillingness to honor one's family, parents, unwillingness to recognize one's roots, to be involved in one's family.
Louise Hay points out the following causes of knee problems : stubbornness and pride, inability to be a pliable person, fear, inflexibility, unwillingness to give in.
She writes that the joints symbolize change of direction in life and the ease of these movements, and arthritis expresses the feeling of not being loved, and criticism and resentment.
Bursitis, according to Louise Hay, symbolizes anger, desire to hit someone. Bunion of the big toe speaks of lack of joy in looking at life.
Liz Burbo points out that pain or a problem in the knee is a sign lack of flexibility towards the future. This person is different vanity and stubbornness. He does not want to accept ideas and advice from other people.
A dislocation occurs in a person who feels compelled to go where he does not want to go.
Psychologist Liz Burbo sees the cause of arthrosis anger and anger towards another person and for arthritis in relation to yourself. Anger at oneself arises because such a person too strict with himself, does not allow himself to relax, does not know how to express his desires and needs.
Gout says that a person wants to dominate, but does not give himself such a right.
Bursitis affects people who don't let yourself get angry and that anger builds up in the joint that was associated with the particular situation.
Psychologists have found that polyarthritis affects people who are characterized by stubbornness, overconscientiousness and overmorality.
Healing Paths
Based on the psychosomatic reasons discussed above, in order to heal the knees, it is necessary to give up and get rid of the listed negative thoughts, emotions and qualities.
How can one get rid of them, if one cannot throw them out and cannot suppress them? There are many ways to get rid.
Physical methods: from unproductive pillow punching to productive use of strong energy of anger in any work (for example, to do unloved housework, chores, etc.)
Ways to work with your inner world: raising your consciousness and bringing your emotional sphere into harmony.
Raising consciousness allows a person to rise above selfishness, pettiness, pride and other qualities, as a person understands that life is a Divine school, which, through the people around and with the help of ongoing events, helps him understand the Divine laws and develop Divine qualities..
And, if so, what is the point of being offended, angry? And to whom? To the life that we create ourselves with our thoughts, emotions, beliefs and actions? Life has only one goal - the spiritual and moral development and improvement of man as a particle of God.
And everything that surrounds a person is designed to develop him, especially troubles and illnesses. How else can a person pay attention to his undivine qualities? For example, roughly speaking, if an inflexible, callous person - get hardened joints, heartless - listen to your sick heart, etc.
Our body comes to such forced measures for the sake of the development of its master, HUMAN.
The question arises: is the owner ready to sacrifice his negativity to heal his body?
Liz Burbo, in her book Your Body Says Love Yourself, writes about the possible metaphysical causes of knee problems:
The following description applies to all problems that can affect the natural functions of the knee, as well as pain in this joint.
Emotional blocking:
Pain or a problem in the knee that interferes with one of its functions is a sign of a lack of flexibility in relation to the future. Knee pain usually occurs in a vain and stubborn person who does not want to accept other people's ideas and advice. This attitude only harms him, as he deprives himself of the opportunity to find easier ways to secure his future.
mental blocking:
This pain helps you realize that you are not flexible enough. Don't forget that your body is always trying to warn you of things you may not be aware of. You do not want to accept new ideas and change your attitude towards your own future or the future of the people you love, because you are afraid of losing control over yourself or over the situation. You no longer have to believe that giving in means kneeling or submitting. Perhaps the lack of flexibility is due to the fact that you are afraid of becoming like one of your parents. Know that you can live an independent life, independent of your parents. But absolute independence does not exist, we all need someone's help from time to time.
Bodo Baginski and Sharamon Shalila in their book “Reiki – Universal Life Energy” write about the possible metaphysical causes of knee problems:
If you internally cannot or do not want to bow - out of pride, stubbornness, selfishness or unconscious fear - then this manifests itself at the level of the body in inflexible, unbending knees. You can avoid unpleasant knee pain by developing tolerance and empathy, as well as the ability to forgive. Reiki helps tremendously with this. If you can bow inwardly humbly, then your knees will soon begin to bend painlessly.
Louise Hay, in her book Heal Yourself, points out the main negative attitudes (leading to illness) and harmonizing thoughts (leading to healing) associated with the appearance and healing of knee problems:
Stubbornness and pride. Inability to be a malleable person. Fear. Inflexibility. Unwillingness to give in.
Harmonizing Thoughts: Forgiveness. Understanding. Compassion. I easily give in and give in, and everything goes well.
Alexander Astrogor in his book "Confession of a sore" writes:
The knees hurt in people who are overcome by pride. If pride is a good quality, because a person should be proud of himself, of his profession or work, of his children, country, and so on, then pride is already a spiritual vice of a person, it is it that beats a person on the knees ...
Pride is when a person compares himself with someone, but in his own favor. At the same time, the person confidently says about himself that I am better than him (her), that he will not put me on my knees, I will not crawl in front of him on my knees! In order for a knee to hurt, it is not at all necessary to constantly compare yourself with another person. Sometimes it is enough to emotionally create sensual tension once for the knee or both at once to receive an energy hole. But every time, as soon as a person sees the object of his pride, a sharp pain will immediately remind of itself. If the situation is released, forgotten, begged for forgiveness, then the knees stop hurting. It's that simple. It is more difficult to remove pride, your stubbornness, forgive, forget, not react ...
The knees also hurt those who are conceited, and therefore emphasize their superiority even more. In this case, it is no coincidence that people say that if you are arrogant, then life will bring you to your knees. But people see very different reasons, saying that for many of them the problem with their knees is that the joints cannot cope with the load that a person's weight, expressed in kilograms, represents. No, this is the weight and strength of your feelings, which crush the soul, so as not to break the spirit of stubbornness.
Having two knees: right and left, a person experiences pain in one of them, then in both at once. Why is this happening? No medicine, except karmic, answers this question, and it explains it as follows. The fact is that each knee has its own energy and mental causes, which include a painful reaction.
RIGHT KNEE - this is me with my problems, I do not want and will not do what they incline me to. And sometimes they bow rightly. For example, a person graduated from a university and worked for a long time at a factory, at an institute or somewhere else. But his job was reduced, the plant went bankrupt, the institute fell apart, because no one needed his research. And they say to a person: “Go sell newspapers, sell ice cream, etc.” And he replies: “Yes, I have a higher education, and I will never stoop to this!” He does not understand that it was his education that turned out to be useless to anyone, like himself, but at the same time pride hits him on the knees.
The right knee shows us a Protestant person with an installation on his principles that do not correspond to reality. And the more stubbornness he shows, the stronger and longer his right knee will hurt.
From the above arguments, let's move on to facts that, despite the ban on disclosing the disease, are easily reported by the media.
In March 1997, American President Bill Clinton was to meet in Helsinki with Russian President Boris Yeltsin. The meeting had to be rescheduled for one day because Clinton had injured his right knee while walking down the stairs a few days earlier. He had to urgently undergo surgery. Topic of the meeting: NATO expansion to the East. Clinton's sensual-emotional protest: not to bow before Russia hit him on the right knee.
While preparing for elections at various levels, some candidates begin to have problems with their knees. If a person puts pressure on others with his authority, name or position, then it is he who will have problems with the menisci, as a rule, on the right knee. And how many artists and other famous people have problems not only with the right, but also with the left knee at the same time?
In front of the knee covers the kneecap, called a cup. You are invited to a cup of coffee to solve some mercantile issues, but you refuse because of your convictions, then the right knee will signal to you that overly sharp reaction that you, without showing it, suppressed in yourself.
LEFT KNEE is the world around me. It reacts to people with whom a person lives or constantly communicates. Very often this is a psychological reaction of a husband to his wife, or vice versa, if one of them is constantly trying to subjugate the other (boss - subordinate). At the same time, education, position, money, or anything you like, just to emphasize your superiority, is flaunted. The acute mental reaction of a person that you will not put me on my knees leads to a disease of the left knee.
People with sore knees always feel an ache when the weather changes. It is just like our mood changes at the sight of some person: it becomes cloudy in the soul (the joy of life is lost), dampness (tears) in the eyes, and aches as a protest against those who are trying to break us, to subjugate us to their will.
The left knee can also react painfully in any work team, when everyone is the same, but at the same time someone exploits someone, uses them. A person understands this, but cannot do anything, however, a painful reaction to these actions will cause pain in the left knee.
So it turns out that either you yourself will kneel (right knee), or they will put you on your knees (left knee). But all this requires an acute mental reaction, which can result in the knee joint being replaced with an artificial one ...
We put those we love on our knees, therefore, in order to relieve pain, we need to put someone we love on our knees. It is best if these are children, grandchildren, playing with whom you forget about those problems that constantly keep you in suspense. For lack of loved ones, put a cat or dog on your lap. Their medicinal properties have been known since ancient times…
Psychosomatics: Louise Hay explains how to get rid of the disease once and for all
If you are a little fond of psychology, or, at least, have just begun to study the power of thought, then you have come across such a word - psychosomatics. To highlight the question of what psychosomatics is, Louise Hay wrote a whole book.
In each article of this blog, I tell you that everything that surrounds you now - you have attracted to yourself. With your thoughts you create your reality in which you live.
From this article, you will learn that your thoughts not only create your life, but also you. The diseases that are in your body - you also attracted to yourself.
Attention! Whether you attract the desired benefits or a loved one, get rid of illnesses or failures, it is important to remember that working with the subconscious, the power of thought is a very powerful tool. With it, you can achieve incredible results, but sometimes they may differ from what
Did you know that all human diseases arise due to psychological inconsistencies and disorders that occur in soul, subconscious, thoughts human? Of course it is.
Being sure that cancer is born from resentment that a person keeps in the soul for so long that it literally begins to devour his own body, I understood what I had to do. great mental work.
Psychosomatics, Louise Hay.
What is psychosomatics?
In scientific terms, psychosomatics is a direction in medicine and psychology studying the influence of psychological factors on the occurrence and course of somatic (bodily) diseases.
Remember the saying "In a healthy body healthy mind"?
I'm sure everyone knows her. But in order for you to understand what psychosomatics is, I will rearrange this saying a little: "Healthy mind = healthy body."
Thus, if your head is filled with kind and positive thoughts, then your body is in order. But if you have a lot of negative attitudes, evil thoughts, resentments and blocks, then this will affect your body.
The ability to live happily and measuredly, controlling your thoughts and emotions, being in harmony with yourself, has the most favorable effect on the general state of a person’s physical health.
Like everything good, everything bad in our life is a consequence of our way of thinking, which affects what happens to us. We all have many thoughts-stereotypes, thanks to which everything good and positive appears in life. And this pleases us. And stereotypes of negative thinking lead to unpleasant, harmful results, and they disturb us. Our goal is to change the life get rid of everything painful and uncomfortable and become completely healthy.
Psychosomatics, Louise Hay.
Psychosomatics now is a scientific system in which knowledge from biology, physiology, medicine, psychology and sociology is put.
Many experts and doctors of science have proven that in case of certain diseases, a person needs the help of not only a doctor, but also a professional psychologist or even a psychotherapist.
It is good when a doctor understands this and instead of a kilometer-long list of medicines, he writes out a referral to a highly qualified specialist in the field of psychology for the patient. Pills can help, of course, but only the effect of them will be temporary. After a while, the problem will return if you do not work it out from the inside.
I understood that if I let the doctors rid me of a cancerous tumor, and I myself do not get rid of thoughts that gave rise to illness, then the doctors will then have to cut pieces from Louise over and over again until there is absolutely nothing left of her.
If they operate on me and, moreover, if I myself get rid of the cause that gave rise to a cancerous tumor, then the disease will be done away with forever.
Psychosomatics, Louise Hay.
The relationship of the state of the human body with its emotional and psychological component is officially recognized today. This relationship is considered within the framework of such a direction of medical psychology as psychosomatics.
How psychosomatics appeared: Louise Hay and the ancient healers
Although the book of Louise Hay "Heal Yourself" gained immense popularity in the treatment of diseases, psychosomatics has been discussed since ancient times.
Even in Greek philosophy and medicine, there was a widespread idea about the influence of the soul and spirit on the body. The same idea is present in the description chakra system.
Socrates stated the following: “You cannot treat eyes without a head, a head without a body, and a body without a soul”. And Hippocrates wrote that the healing of the body must begin with the elimination of the causes that prevent the soul of the patient from performing its Divine work.
Sigmund Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis, tried to study the subject of psychosomatics. He singled out several ailments: bronchial asthma, allergies and migraine. However, his arguments had no scientific basis, and his hypotheses were not recognized.
At the beginning of the 20th century, the first scientific observations were systematized. Scientists Franz Alexander and Helen Dunbar laid the scientific foundations of psychosomatic medicine, formulating the concept of the "Chicago Seven", which includes the seven main psychics ocomatic diseases.
A little later, in the middle of the 20th century, a magazine began to be published, telling about psychosomatic ailments.
Nowadays, there are books in stores that were written by a wonderful author about what psychosomatics is - Louise Hay.
Louise Hay had no special education. Louise Hay is a person of many years of experience, both in working with herself and in helping other people. She was motivated to study the impact of negative emotions by childhood and adolescent psychological trauma.
A few years ago, doctors examined me and diagnosed me with uterine cancer.
Considering that I was raped at the age of five and often beaten as a child, there is nothing surprising in the fact that I was diagnosed with uterine cancer.
By this time, I myself had been practicing medicine for several years, and it was clear that now I had the opportunity to heal myself and, thereby, confirm the truth of everything that I taught other people.
Psychosomatics, Louise Hay.
Psychosomatics: Louise Hay and her secrets of recovery
To get rid of an illness forever, we must first get rid of its psychological cause. I realized that in any of our ailments there is a need. Otherwise, we wouldn't have it. Symptoms are purely external manifestations of the disease.. We should go deep and destroy its psychological cause. That is why will and discipline are powerless here - they fight only with the external manifestations of the disease.
This is the same as picking a weed without uprooting it. That's why before you start working with new thinking affirmations, you should strengthen the desire to get rid of the need for smoking, headaches, excess weight and other such things. If the need disappears, then the external manifestation also disappears. Without a root, the plant dies.
Psychosomatics, Louise Hay.
With these words, Louise explains to us that it is necessary to exterminate the disease not only from the outside (drugs, treatment, traditional medicine), but it is also important to work out your thoughts, your attitudes. By getting rid of wrong thoughts, you are most likely to get rid of the disease.
The psychological causes that cause most bodily ailments are nagging, anger, resentment, and guilt. If, for example, a person engages in criticism long enough, then he often develops diseases such as arthritis. Anger causes ailments, from which the body seems to boil, burn, become infected.
Psychosomatics, Louise Hay.
In order to warn yourself against the diseases mentioned above, you need to work with your emotions and thoughts.
Getting rid of the old to make room for the new
Below, in this article, you will see a list of diseases, their causes and affirmations compiled by Louise Hay, which will help get rid of the disease.
But I believe that it is not enough just to start saying affirmations. It is also necessary to identify and eliminate all our negative attitudes that create an unnecessary reality for us.
These are the same “weeds” that Louise Hay spoke about.
After all, if you start saying new affirmations, the old settings will not go anywhere. Do you agree?
First, you need to get rid of them. Then the effect of affirmations will be 100%.
I wrote about how to identify all my blocks, negative attitudes and replace them with new positive thoughts in the article.
Another “poisonous” emotion that kills us from the inside, which does not allow us to fulfill our desires, which destroys our health, is resentment.
Long-held resentment decomposes, devours the body and, ultimately, leads to the formation of tumors and the development of cancerous diseases. Feelings of guilt always make you look for punishment and lead to pain. It is much easier to get rid of these negative thoughts-stereotypes even when we are healthy than to try to eradicate them after the onset of the disease, when you are in a panic and there is already a threat to fall under the surgeon's knife.
Psychosomatics, Louise Hay.
Someone offended you, disappointed you, or you are in a quarrel with someone, all this leaves a residue inside you that destroys your positive attitude. You need to get rid of resentment.
There are several methods for how to do this. I wrote about them in articles:
Louise Hay's Table of Diseases
So, having worked through your past grievances and negative attitudes, you need to introduce new thoughts and affirmations into your consciousness.
In his book "Heal Yourself" Louise Hay gives a huge table of diseases, in which she indicates their causes and a new approach to her thoughts in order to avoid illness or cure an existing illness.
This list of psychological equivalents, compiled by me as a result of many years of research, as a result of my work with patients, on the basis of my lectures and seminars. The list is useful as an indication of the likely patterns of thought causing the ailment.

Psychosomatics of Louise Hay's diseases is a system of knowledge expressed in a table of the relationship between psychological factors and somatic ailments. Louise Hay's chart is based on her own observations and years of experience. Her vision of cause and effect relationships between the psyche and the body is published in the book "Heal Your Body", where she sets out her thoughts, observations and recommendations for people. The woman claims that negative emotions, experiences and memories are destructive to the body.
The psychosomatics of diseases in the Louise Hay table shows how these internal destructive impulses affect the health of the body. In addition to the root cause of diseases, Louise Hay gives recommendations for self-treatment using the settings that she cites next to the disease.
Louise Hay cannot be called a pioneer in science. The first knowledge about the influence of the soul on the body appeared in ancient Greece, where philosophers discussed the connection between psychological experiences and their impact on health. Along with this, the medicine of the eastern countries also developed this knowledge. However, their observations are not scientific, but are only the fruit of guesses and assumptions.
In the middle of the 19th century, there were attempts to isolate psychosomatics, but at that time it was not yet popular. Sigmund Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis, tried to study diseases caused by the unconscious. He identified several ailments: bronchial asthma, allergies and migraines. However, his arguments had no scientific basis, and his hypotheses were not recognized.
In the early 20th century, the first serious observations were systematized by Franz Alexander and Helen Dunbar. It was they who then laid the scientific foundations of psychosomatic medicine, formulating the concept of the "Chicago Seven", which includes seven major psychosomatic diseases. Toward the middle of the 20th century, a journal dealing with psychosomatic illnesses began to be published in the United States. Another popular author dealing with the psychosomatics of various diseases is this.
Louise Hay has no special education. Almost all her life she was looking for part-time jobs and did not have a permanent job. She was inspired to study the influence of negative emotions by childhood and adolescent psychological trauma. In the 70s, she found herself, and began to preach in the church, where she realized that she was unwittingly advising parishioners and partially healing them. While working, she began to compile her own reference book, which eventually turned into Louise Hay's psychosomatic table.
The impact of psychological problems on somatic health
Psychosomatics is now a scientific system that includes knowledge from biology, physiology, medicine, psychology and sociology. There are several theories that explain the impact of psychological problems on the health of the body in their own way:
Who is at risk of psychosomatic problems
There is a risk group, which includes people with certain personality traits and type of thinking:
It is important to remember that the temporary appearance of one of the points does not affect health. However, a constant stay in this state adversely affects the body.
Description of the summary psychosomatic table of the main diseases
Louise Hay's summary table describes the psychological causes of illness. The most common of them:
How to properly work with this table:
On the left are diseases or syndromes. On the right is the psychological cause of their occurrence. It is enough to look at the list and find your ailment, then - the reason.
How can you heal yourself
It will not be possible to completely recover on your own - for this you need to contact a psychotherapist. Often the thoughts or emotions that lead to the development of diseases are not realized. They exist somewhere in the unconscious. Only full-fledged work with a psychotherapist will give a healing effect.
However, it is possible to carry out prevention on your own. Psychohygiene and psychoprophylaxis is the only thing that can help a person prevent the development of psychosomatic diseases. Mental hygiene includes the following subsections:
- Psychohygiene of the family and sexual activity.
- Psychohygiene of education, teaching at school and university.
- Psychohygiene of work and rest.
Ultimately, psychological hygiene is aimed at satisfying the main vital needs:
Louise Hay's Model of Healing
Louise Hay used a holistic approach in the healing process, which in 1977 allowed a woman to get rid of cancer on her own. She abandoned the methods of traditional medicine and decided to put her experience into practice.
Louise Hay has created several exercises for everyday work on yourself:
The woman herself did this: every morning she thanked herself for what she now has. Louise then meditated and took a shower. After that, she started her morning exercises, had breakfast with fruit, tea, and got to work.
Louise Hay Affirmations
Louise Hay gained popularity with her affirmations. These are positive verbal attitudes to life, repeating which daily, a person gets rid of internal experiences and a negative way of thinking. The author of the book “Heal Yourself” has compiled a series of such affirmations that she recommends repeating to achieve success and cure. She created settings for everyone: women, men, children and the elderly.
The most common settings:
- I deserve a good life;
- I rejoice every day;
- I am unique and incomparable;
- in my power to solve any problem;
- I don't need to be afraid of change;
- my life is in my hands;
- I respect myself, others respect me;
- I am strong and self-confident;
- expressing your feelings is safe;
- I have great friends;
- it is easy for me to cope with difficulties;

Reading this book means more than simply skimming through the chapters. Reading psychological literature involves a deep awareness of every thought of the author. In the process of studying the material, it is necessary to form an internal review of what has been read, to analyze your feelings and thoughts. This is not only work with the text, but also work on yourself while reading.
The theory that any thoughts have a material basis, are embodied in our deeds and how we build relationships with others, is not new for a long time. Thoughts shape our reality, affect our well-being and cause the development of various diseases. Such statements were put forward by ancient doctors and philosophers.
Since ancient times, the doctrine of the psychological causes of diseases has come to its modern form, turning into the science of psychosomatics, the founder of which is Louise Hay.
Psychosomatics is at the intersection of medicine and psychology. It is based on the position of the relationship between the soul and the body of a person, the violation of which is the mental cause of diseases. For a more accurate understanding of this theory, the author has developed a summary table of diseases, which has been successfully used in their practice by doctors and psychologists for more than a year.
The biography of Louise Hay cannot be called completely happy, however, it was precisely the difficulties experienced on her life path that allowed the author to fully describe the mental significance of diseases, which became the most important discovery for modern psychology. The fact is that the author was diagnosed with a terrible disease, uterine cancer. But, no matter how surprising it may sound, the founder of psychosomatics was able to recover herself in just a few months, simply by analyzing the mechanisms for the development of her disease. Long reflection and constructive analysis of her life led Louise Hay to develop a table in which she presented the spiritual causes of almost all existing diseases. Using the full table of Louise Hay, it is possible to visually see the negative impact of problems unresolved by a person (for example, hidden grievances, anger, anger, conflicts) on any organism, even those with good health.
However, the most valuable thing that the founder of the psychosomatic approach presented to the world of psychology and medicine is the idea that knowing the mental causes of diseases, it is possible to heal from them in a short time. Healing occurs with the help of affirmations - beliefs that are made in accordance with special rules. Knowing the emotional cause of a particular disease, and using the proposed settings for its treatment, healing is quite achievable - this is what the author says and therefore considers it his task to help people through informing about his experience.
The Psychological Causes of Disease According to Louise Hay: 101 Powerful Thoughts
The main position on which Louise Hay's psychosomatic science is based is that the stereotypes of a person's thinking are formed as a result of experiencing a certain negative experience. On the same position, if you characterize it briefly, the table of Louise Hay is based. Knowing the possible psychological causes of diseases according to Louise Hay, which everyone can easily determine for themselves, having carefully studied the table of diseases and emotions, you can almost completely get rid of most of them.
What is the famous table of diseases and their psychological causes according to Louise Hay?
- the first column presents various diseases;
- in the second - the emotions that cause them;
- the third column of the table contains a list of affirmations, the pronunciation of which will help to set your thinking in a positive direction, helping to get rid of the disease.
Having studied the table of illnesses of Louise Hay, the understanding comes that in fact any non-constructive attitudes in thinking lead to the development of a certain disease. So, for example, cancer is provoked by hidden grievances, the development of thrush in most cases contributes to the rejection of your partner. The cause of cystitis may be the containment of negative emotions, and such a common, seemingly intractable disease as an allergy is the result of a person’s unwillingness to accept anyone or anything (perhaps even himself) into his life.
Even illnesses such as diseased kidneys, eczema, bleeding, swelling and burns are considered by Louise Hay to be associated with destructive thoughts.
Thus, in the table of mental causes of diseases and affirmations of Louise Hay, the metaphysical foundations of almost all diseases are fully disclosed. This table is of high value for psychology, as it allows you to analyze the causes of diseases from the point of view of possible mental disorders.
