Hello everyone
First of all I will apologize for my long absence, but the reason was valid... My Msc in Yoga therapy through S-Vyasa University... exams, studies etc made me little busy.
But I am back now with more knowledge and more enthusiasm. Let's begin with our new series on PSYCHOSOMATIC DISORDER and role yoga can have in it.
To begin with let's see what are Psychosomatic disorder. The word Psychosomatic has two words Psyche + Soma, psyche is mind and soma is body... a disease involving mind and body is psychosomatic. In simple words diseases resulting from stress at mind level, So disease ranging from Hypertension, diabetes, thyroid problems, Hormonal imbalances, various headaches etc all have their roots in mind. Stress has direct effect on body and this is a scientifically proven fact and again body(accidents, injury) can cause stress. Persistent stress which is common these days manifests itself as physical disturbance over time. Disturbed stressful mind most of the time push person in wrong actions, wrong eating, sleepless nights which in return worsens the stress. Ayurveda, a sister science of yoga, too agrees with this... sometimes we know that something is bad for us and still we do it as we don't have control over our desires (प्रज्ञापराध) and most of the times this in long term can become the root cause for our stress and disease.
Psychosomatic disorders are rooted in mind and intellect level so just physical treatment or doing some asanas won't give long lasting treatment. So, in such condition treatment should be such which will take care of disturbed mind and unruly intellect( बुध्दी/ Budhi) along with physical body. This is possible with proper approach with yoga. In this series we will discuss about some common psychosomatic disorders one by one .
Take care, Stay safe 🙏🏻 see you soon with our Psychosomatic disease and Yoga series
