Yes indeed. Becoming aware of the thoughts pouring through your mind is the first step toward permanent joy and liberation. Once you start to see them on a regular basis, soon you'll be able to ignore them (monkey mind).

The psychosomatic unexpected event that kicks off a "dis-ease" process is unavoidable however. We all get caught off guard sometimes. The key is to understand when this happens, that there is no value in continuously ruminating over it for weeks/months/years afterward. What's done is done. But most people continue to relive the experience, feeling guilt, shame, worry, sadness, anger, resentment, vengeance, etc. all the time. This extends the conflict's duration, as the body continues during this process to make adjustments to the organs/tissues/bones/etc. to assist. The longer this goes on, the longer the healing/restoration process takes.

Most things we call dis-eases occur AFTER the psychological conflict is resolved, as the body returns itself back to the way it was prior to the unexpected event. Chronic diseases occur when there is an inability to get over the conflict. The lack of acceptance/allowance/forgiveness holds the bodily changes in perpetual limbo.

Thanks for your comments. This is hard for most to even entertain, let alone consider as a possibility.
