Treating psychosomatic disorders
A psychosomatic disorder is a “condition in which psychological stresses adversely affect physiological (somatic) functioning to the point of distress” (Encyclopaedia Britannica). While there are medicinal methods of treating these disorders, there is also a great wisdom within the body that can be tapped to help with healing.
The body has its own internal pharmacy that needs to be allowed to work. Everyday stress and emotions impede the body’s innate abilities to heal, aggravate existing illnesses and often result in maladaptive coping behaviours.
Yoga helps one tap into the body’s resources and amazing technology to help the healing process. Optimal healing takes place during deep sleep, which yoga can simulate while awake. By reconnecting every cell of the body to its main computer, the brain, the body can find the right answers to what it needs and repair and heal itself with remarkable precision.
