The Power of Mind (negative emotions)

Studies over the years have indicated that our mind influences the function of our body. The influence is controlled by the state of our emotion - Negative and Positive. The Negative emotions are depression, sorrow, fear, anger and stress. The positive emotions are joy, confidence, hope and peace.

Our body acts as we feel according to emotions. Depression upsets the functions of our digestive systems, causing dyspepsia and indigestion, lethargy and constipation.

Sorrow affects our nervous system, constricting the flow of nervous energy, causing organic disease.

Anger affects our circulatory systems, constricting the flow of blood throughout our body, including lungs and brain. Insomnia, lack of concentration, indigestion, flatulence and constipation are the result.

Fear affects our muscular system, lessening the flow of blood due to lack of muscular movement. It affects every muscle in our body, including our heart. Palpitations, diarrhea, involuntary flow of urine, sweating, poor vision, and lack of hearing inevitable.

Stress affects our respiratory system, thus our entire body. Breath is life, and when our respiratory is poor we only half live - physically, mentally and spiritually.
