Why do we experience physical illness or pain? The sources explain that all events are catalysts meant to offer us an opportunity for spiritual experience.
If a catalyst is not used or understood by the mind and spirit, it filters down into the physical body. There, it manifests as physical distortion or disease. The body acts as a literal mirror, reflecting the unlearned lessons of the mind so we are forced to pay attention to them. The more efficiently you use the catalyst of life to learn love and acceptance, the less physical distortion will generally be found.
☕ Today’s Micro-Practice: If you feel a physical ache or illness today, ask yourself gently: "What unresolved mental or emotional lesson is my body trying to show me? How can I accept this with love?"
