Our Body Speaks through Symptoms

How does your body speak to you? Through symptoms. When something isn’t quite right, the body causes pain to claim your attention. When you have had a long day, your body aches to tell you that it needs rest. When you get hurt that results in tissue damage in a specific area, a signal is sent to the brain to generate pain so you notice and start taking care. When your eyes ache after a long stint on the computer, mobile or television, they are telling you to give them a break! If your tummy aches, the digestive system is screaming for nutrition and rest.

Pain also stems from emotional causes. When you feel life is a burden, your shoulders ache. When you keep criticising yourself, you end up with a headache. Back pain could be a result of not being understood or feeling financially unstable. Migraines occur when you feels constantly pressured by someone.

Whatever the reason, we need to learn to listen to our bodies and work on the cause of the pain simply because the sensation is unnatural.
