“A specific cause and effect relationship exists between the pattern of negative emotions a person focuses on and the diseases produced in the body.”
The independent variable is the pattern of negative emotions being focused up and the dependent variable is the physical disease produced in the body by the action of the autonomic nervous system and the somatic system which receive signals in the form of sensations or electric impulses, from the brain.
Data will be collected for three diseases- e.g. Asthma , Arthritis and Diabetes from about 25 people.
Further rationale is explained through the following Excerpt from the BOOK – EMOTIONAL MANAGEMENT
“When our body organs start malfunctioning as in diseases, pains and aches, the subconscious mind is held responsible for the problems. However, the problems in our physical body are a physical manifestation of a negative emotional state of mind.
For example, diabetes occurs when a person feels wronged by his environment. The person typically feels frustrated after a self-imposed, rigorous, unrewarding routine and has a deep desire to rest which s/he ignores. Feelings of guilt, self-reproach and disappointment with the world, continue over a prolonged period of time before physical symptoms begin to develop. A feeling of exhaustion comes due to an emotional conflict between balancing different aspects of life. Body symptoms are created such that insulin (a component of life-force energy) stops flowing adequately to all organs of the body in response to the person feeling that s/he is not doing justice to all aspects of his life.
The person eats in an undisciplined manner out of a need for comfort but feels worse because the digestive system cannot take the strain due to deficiency of insulin.
In the cure of diabetes, disciplined eating, long walks, acknowledgement of self-achievements and meditation help to regain control of life. Eating less and more frequently is better than taking large meals which stress the body. Deconditioning from a traditional heavy eating habit helps because it makes the person feel emotionally free while relaxing the stomach. Meditation without allowing the mind to worry for the allotted time along with self-praise/ acknowledgement of efforts already made by the self, help to reduce harmful effects of negative thinking.
But, if the person takes no care to discipline his habits and keeps worrying while meditating or taking medicines, the mind remains stressed and the body feels sick. Negative thinking keeps blocking the flow of positive hormones and reinforcing the physical symptoms of deficiency in the body.
Therapy helps in erasing the mind’s habit of guilt and self –reproach by deactivating a negative thinking energy circuit from the subconscious mind while a new energy circuit of positive thinking is installed in its place for regenerating the cellular subconscious programme which ensures an adequate flow of insulin that controls diabetes naturally.
Similar to diabetes, other chronic diseases are a physical manifestation of a specific focus on negative feelings underlined in the routine thought processes.
Illustrated briefly –
Asthma is a result of constantly feeling emotionally suffocated, non-understood and chained. If emotional guidance is given with medication, effects of medications would be much. Without the use of medication, treatment can use naturopathy and para psychology. Asthma reduces by undertaking past life therapy. Asthma usually has past lives attached where the person may have died by drowning, poisoning, being suffocated to death in burial etc. Asthma heals by freeing the spirit from feeling breathless by releasing the wounded soul by viewing past life memories and addressing emotionally similar present life problems which make the person trigger awake the energy circuit of memories of death by suffocation. However, even after viewing past lives, emotional counselling is required to help the person cope with present life problems with an optimistic spirit.
Arthritis involves rigidity of thinking and a feeling that one is unable to move ahead in life as desired. This rigidity in thinking patterns has to be addressed for arthritis to heal.
Throat problems reflect an inability to communicate clearly etc. For example, patients with thyroid report a problem in expressing themselves freely, suppressed anger felt in interactions with family members or work colleagues and ambitions of singing or expressing vocally which remain unfulfilled. Circumstances which inhibit speaking lead to throat problems etc. and counselling is required to help the person cope emotionally.
The exact emotional causes of the disease in each person have to be specifically found through therapeutic intervention for the energy circuits of the disease to clear and positive signals to flow in the neurotransmitters of the autonomic nervous system of the person. It has been found that receptive signals are inhibited in people having stress disorders.
Through therapy, our subconscious mind can be directed to stop manifesting physical problems by manifesting a positive shift in thinking patterns. Healing happens through a process which involves transcending the negative energy created in our mind into neutral or positive. The essential requirement is to simultaneously make a conscious effort to release focus on negative energies from the mind, while taking medicines to heal the body.”
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------Excerpt from the book, EMOTIONAL MANAGEMENT by Shiva Swati, published in 2017
Thus, it can be established that , all physical organs have an emotional
component attached whose functioning the organ is responsible for. For example,
throat is responsible for free speaking and expression. An inability to express
one’s mind freely restrains the organ and creates diseases like asthma or
thyroid.
To illustrate further, “if a patient comes for curing of asthma, it is found that she feels
emotionally suppressed in speaking freely with her family members along with
feeling extreme exhaustion and helplessness in coping with her circumstances.
Thus, there are breathing problems in her throat. A typical patient of asthma feels
tired of his/her responsibilities, has respiratory problems, and feels suffocated,
as s/he decides on her own that she has no freedom to express her needs as
nobody is interested in hearing her problems. The pessimism affects the
recreative hormones ,thus impacting the organs which are for respiration and for speaking. Once s/he is given counselling to
be optimistic, take rest and express the self through different means, it has
an effect of reducing the wrath of asthma along with the other medication taken;
but without focusing on emotional healing & release, just the steroids do
not help for long term in improving breathing abilities as the problems recur.
This emotional healing effect is more permanent than just medical treatment.
Medical treatment supplements emotional
counselling but cannot substitute it. Likewise, emotional counselling can be
complemented with medical treatment wherever para psychology is unacceptable. “

Anotther study by Dr.
Hedaya (2010) which examines insulin resistance, diabetes and mental health,
says that:
“The connection between obesity, insulin resistance, diabetes and mental health problems is no longer questioned. There are
number of reasons for the association, including the use of psychotropic
medications which cause weight gain, and promote the metabolic syndrome; the
social stigma associated with obesity and the lifestyle changes associated with
diabetes; and inflammatory activation due to poor diet, high insulin and glucose levels, which in turn
changes brain neurochemistry.
A recent study
(McIntyre et al. brain volume abnormalities and neurocognitive deficits in
diabetes mellitus: points of pathophysiological commonality with mood
disorders?: Adv. Ther. 2010 Feb;27(2):63-80. ) reviewed the literature on brain
changes in type one and two diabetes, and concluded that the brain areas which
are affected in mood disorders and DM diabetes mellitus, significantly overlap.
The association is so compelling that one article in 2007 (Ann. Clin.
Psychiatry; 2007 Oct-Dec;1994):257-64) was titled: "Should Depressive
Syndromes Be Reclassified as "Metabolic Syndrome Type II". The
association with diabetes (and obesity and insulin resistance) extends beyond
just mood disorders, to anxiety disorders, and major psychiatric syndromes such as bipolar disorder and schizophrenia.”
A study in 2017 by Rachel
Nall, RN, BSN, CCRN, reviewed by Suzanne
Falck, MD, FACP, researched on
The study through
surveys, established that :
“Diabetes
is a condition that impacts the way a person's body uses sugar for energy.
However, diabetes affects much more than blood sugar. It can impact nearly
every body system and have an effect on a person's mood.
Stress associated
with managing diabetes as
well as concerns about potential side effects can all contribute to changes in
mood. In addition, the actual highs and lows of blood sugar levels may also
cause nervousness, anxiety, and confusion.
It is important for people to recognize their own individual symptoms of high
or low blood sugar. They must also ensure they seek support for any concerning mental
health symptoms they might experience.”
A study By Marga Frontera/Getty, conducted in
20o9, on Arthritis and its effects on mental health says that :
“Chronic pain conditions such as rheumatoid
arthritis can hurt mental health.
People who live with chronic diseases such as
rheumatoid arthritis may experience more than physical pain and disability.
Their illness could also affect their mental health. While sometimes the
illness directly causes mental health issues, more often than not they arise
because of the changes brought about by chronic illness.”
Similarly , other diseases can be diagnosed as
having a link with emotional/mental problems.
A study on Breathing
Disorders, Asthma, by “The Michael E. DeBakey Veterans Affairs Medical Center
(MEDVAMC) in 2012 observed that :
The prevalence of
anxiety and depression was measured in a large sample of persons with a chronic
breathing disorder diagnosis who received care at the MEDVAMC, using the
Primary Care Evaluation of Mental Disorders (PRIME-MD) screening questions. The
positive predictive value of the PRIME-MD
questions was then determined. The prevalence of anxiety and depressive
diagnoses in patients determined to have COPD was then measured, using the
Structured Clinical Interview for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (SCID)
Of patients screened
with the PRIME-MD, 80% screened positive for depression, anxiety, or both. The
predictive value of a positive phone screen for either depression or anxiety
was estimated to be 80%. In the subsample of patients who had COPD and received
a diagnosis using the SCID, 65% received an anxiety and/or depressive disorder diagnosis. Of
those patients, only 31% were receiving treatment for depression and/or anxiety
It is troubling that
a mere 31% of COPD patients with depression or anxiety
are being treated, particularly given their high prevalence in this population.
Practical screening instruments may help increase the recognition of anxiety
and depression in medical patients, as suggested by the excellent positive
predictive value of the PRIME-MD in our study
