Episode notes
Chronic Disease As Self-Created
- Most modern ailments are chronic and self-created rather than infectious.
- Sadhguru explains that cells receive 'messages' which can direct them toward life or dismantling.
Cells Follow The Body's Messages
- Each cell is programmed both for life and for death and responds to the body's messages.
- Wrong internal messaging can prompt some cells to work toward dismantling life, producing disease.
Emotions Can Poison The Body
- Negative emotions like anger, resentment, fear, and anxiety act as chemical poisons within you.
- These poisons send the wrong message to cells, causing some to act as if you're choosing death.
