Emotional Roots of Cancer

In one of my previous talks on TCM Methods for Managing Emotions due to Stress, I was asked whether a healthy person can develop cancer just by feeling negative intensively for long periods of time.


To answer this question, it is good to understand that in holistic energy medicines, we have a law and principle in the genesis of illnesses and diseases, including major ailments such as cancers. The principle gives detailed description of how different physical illnesses and diseases are formed beyond the physical level. In fact, the start of any disease is not at the flesh and bone, cells or molecules, but rather at the energy body surrounding the physical body, on the consciousness level. The law and principle, although unheard of in conventional medicine, is part of the Law of Nature and operates regardless of believe, convincing or lab testing.  



In my previous blog on Seven Endogenous Factors, emotions are one of the major causes for illnesses. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, emotions are further specified into seven different types namely Joy, Anger, Worry, Thought, Grief, Fear, Fright. All of which have individual associations with major organs in the body.



Therefore, when certain emotions are experienced repeatedly and/or intensely over long periods of time, the prolonged intense emotions can in return hurt the Organs they are connected with. This can result in the Organs becoming imbalanced functionally first.

However, intense negativity repeatedly generated in the energy bodies in the form of toxic emotions, feelings and thoughts can eventually precipitate and manifest into the physical body, causing various forms of pain, inflammation, disease and illnesses.

Conversely, if the person practices good spiritual and emotional energetic housekeeping, these imbalances can be released or otherwise resolved at that level. The person can therefore remain healthy.

Cancer Mind-Body Connection



Emotional trauma as the prime cause of cancer and emotional imbalances leading to the formation of cancerous tumors have been validated.



One article in the European Journal of Cancer (1) concluded that “psychological or behavioral factors may influence the incidence or progression of cancer through psychosocial influences on immune function and other physiological pathways. In other words, emotional stress and trauma can downregulate the immune system which can then result in the body being susceptible to virus, bacteria, inflammations and toxins, paving the body towards various diseases in modern society such as autoimmune diseases, tumors, cancers.



Therefore, it can be clearly seen that cancer stems from emotional-psychic causes that remain unresolved over long periods of time. Having known that, it is clear that the medicine for cancer is not found at the physical level in which the root cause is not addressed and can therefore only result in high rate of recurrence from such surface treatments.



Root Medicine for Cancer



Till this point, it is obvious that every cancer and related disease has a psycho-emotional root to it. To eradicate the root, we need to use methods that are tackling the energetic, psyche and emotional aspects of the problem.



Acupuncture



On the scientific level, acupuncture reduces the inflammants and toxins accumulated at the area of lesion by the cancer cells and supply fresh blood to the area for new cells to be regenerated.



On the energetic level, it opens up the energy channels that are blocked which gives rise to more stagnations for the accumulation and snowballing of toxic cells and emotions.




Specialised techniques such as Heart Opening Acupuncture are able to work directly at the mind-heart level to open up the person to new perspectives and fresh outlooks rather than going in circles of negative thoughts and toxic self-talk.

Herbs

As with Acupuncture, herbs taken orally is another channel that can achieve similar effects for healing cancer as mentioned above.




With Acupuncture and Herbs done together, effectiveness for healing comes amplified.




Tension Release Therapy and Meditation

Emotional healing such as one of my signature treatments Tension Release Therapy and Meditative practices are said to be one of the best cancer treatments.


The body holds the imprints for every event that occurs in our lives, including tension and trauma. That is also the reason why such tension and trauma are stored in the body and are expressed as repeated negative emotions, aches and pains or discomforts. Such tension and trauma cannot be intellectualised or be reasoned out of the body using logic. Instead having the ego to step aside to allow the body to do its work to floss out the emotional tension and traumatic experiences is one of the ways to eliminate cancer at its root.


So can a healthy person develop cancer just by feeling negative intensively for long periods of time?

I believe you have the answer yourself by now.
