It’s very common that people don’t make the connection, as it has taken many generations of new teachings to finally get people to understand.
The mind/body connection is real.
Stress=inflammation
Stress=anxiety
Stress= tension
Emotional pain can be just a powerful as physical pain.
There are some back surgeons who will see someone complaining of “low back pain”
and ask them what they are currently going through in life.
Some send their patients to a therapist and miraculously their back pain starts to disappear after they have been taught how to react to stress.
The positive is you see it. Everyone can learn to be more mindful, present and take deep breathes.
