To be in connection with ourselves is to understand the signals that our body sends us, which speaks to us through pain, illness, and of course, health in general. How we feel physically is a sign of how we find ourselves psychologically most of the time.

In the rhythm of our daily life this connection gradually weakens and we stop understanding why things happen to us, without knowing how to regain balance. Little by little we lose the ability to interpret ourselves. Therefore, when pain and illness appear on the scene, it is important to know what they are telling us to discover the way back to health and well-being.

Illness, a path to stay healthy

Understanding illness and pain means being able to interpret them and give them a sense to understand the origin of that imbalance and recover the connection with ourselves.

Illness is the means by which our body speaks to us and tells us that something is not working well, requesting that something has to change. In fact, it forces us to change the rhythm of our lives and prevents us from continuing at the same pace we had until that moment, imposing a change towards health.

How does our body talk to us?

In order to understand what our body is telling us we need to know our bodies better. These are some facts many people do not know about our bodies.
