The human being is psychosomatic by nature – what that means is that our
health is deeply influenced by our behavior, thoughts, emotions and social
relationships. Therefore, in order to experience good health, we should care
for our life style, our mental, sentimental, emotional and relational world, as
well as our communication. Fear is bad for our health. It manifests itself in
the form of anger and promotes coronary diseases. Fear suppressed for a long
time ends up producing diseases such as cancer. Apart from cancer and heart
attacks, there are other illnesses brought on by fear: addictions, anxiety,
arthritis, asthma, irritability, nervous breakdowns, memory loss, gastritis,
back pains, baldness, and diarrhea, sciatica, crying attacks, alcoholism,
constipation, hypertension, cystitis (bladder inflammation), vomiting, palpitations,
digestive disorders, ulcers and migraines.
When we get old, our neurons do not die, but rather the connections between
them disappear, that is what recent scientific research suggests. The neuronal
connections or synapses keep us lively and young. When we have pleasant
experiences, such as during meditation or when we are on a holiday or are
surrounded by friends or while working in a team, some examples of activities
in which we feel happy, the neuronal connections are more fluid. However, the lights
go out when we feel fear. It is an emotion that is capable of slowing down and
blocking the electrical impulses between the neurons. With fear we are less
creative and we get older more quickly. If we do not want to suffer illnesses
(or want our illnesses to get worse) we should learn to manage and overcome
fear.
