Thought Leadership

Unhappiness is the flipside of the loneliness of the subconscious. While most of us consciously perform at work, take care of our families, and live up to our social responsibilities, we don’t take care of our subconscious, and end up with addictions as a result. Addiction is a slippery slope to destruction, and there is no use fighting addiction without creating a healthy environment, a healthy lifestyle, and good thoughts. What is the use when the root cause (loneliness of the subconscious/unhappiness) is not taken care of? Addictions give us only momentary pleasure, and a healthy and holistic life has no place for them. Simply put, if we can crack the puzzle of happiness, we have far fewer chances of ending up with illnesses.

During the decade Dr.Amit, a top onco surgeon in Mumbai, spent at Tata Memorial Cancer Hospital, he counseled thousands of Cancer warriors, and there was hardly any soul who had not experienced inner turmoil in the five years preceding the onset of the disease. At some point in their disconnected lives, the loneliness of their subconscious or unhappiness had caught up, forming a breeding ground for cancer tissue.

Interestingly, even our Ayurveda supports this line of reasoning. According to this sage school of medicine, we have eight chakras associated with the organs of our body. If the energy flow along the axis is disrupted, one or more of the chakras are stuck and the corresponding organ enters a state of distress or “dis-ease”. The longer the duration of the “dis-eased” state, the greater the chances of the cancer cells to proliferate.
