Wisdom of Dis-ease 2: Message from my Tongue 疾病的智慧2: 舌头的启示

One day in 2006, I developed pricky pain on my tongue for no reason. It was really bad and unbearable, especially if I took raw salad. However, even after I the medicine I prescribed for myself, it did not get well at all. As a doctor, this can be rather embarrassing as I could not even treat myself. I was helpless!

A month later, I happened to be travelling to US. One morning, I lied down on the floor and started to communicate with my tongue. I asked my tongue for a message. I waited for a while, then suddenly I heard a voice from within saying, “Hey, you are criticizing people too much!” Oooops! I suddenly realized that it was really true that I often criticized others! “Eureka!”

Funny enough, I felt a sudden relief on my tongue!

Indeed, this was the first time that I ever communicated with my body. This is such a wonderful way to find the cause of ills! The wonderful part was that my tongue got well gradually and surely within a week, without any medication!

This experience had given me the realization of the importance of psychosomatic illness. We are what we think. Since then, my research into this link between the mind and body went on. The result was that every ill has a link to our inner emotional state like anger, fear, anxiety, impatience, dissatisfaction, jealousy, guilt etc.

It is now 11 years, the more I research, the more I see the truth of the link between mind and body. They are one. I am lucky that I am using Homeopathic medicine which is able to handle both mental-emotionally and physically.

2006年的一天，我的舌头无端端的痛起来，痛如针刺，尤其吃沙拉，真是受不了。服了药，一个月后还没好。身为医生，自己治疗不了自己，不知所措，怎么办好呢？

后来，我刚巧去美国上课兼游玩；早上起来，无所事事，便平躺在地上，尝试和自己的舌头沟通，问它是否可给我一个讯息。等了一会，突然，一个内在的声音告诉我说，“你批评人太多！” 顿时，我突然醒悟，“是的，我的确经常批评别人！”

很奇怪的是，那一刹那的醒悟，舌头上的疼痛，马上有了改善，没那么的刺痛了！

这是我第一次的和我身体沟通，果然能够找出病痛的所以然，真如发现新大陆! 更巧妙的是，这舌头的疼痛，尽然在一星期内，不药而愈！

这次的经历，让我体悟身心病症(psychosomatic disease)的重要性。一切唯心造，心怎么想，身体就怎么反应。从那时开始，我进一步的去研究身心一体的关键。果然发现到，没一个病状，甚至意外伤势，都是与我们的内心状况有关，如愤怒、焦虑、匆忙、急燥、不满、妒忌、内疚等等。

至今，这体悟已有11年，越研究越领悟到这身心的关联。所幸我用的是顺势医疗法的药物，能够治疗身心症状，妙！
