Benefits for body and mind

Body and mind are involved in the development of a heart attack. As far as the body is concerned, the analysis of heart activity shows a defective PNS. On a mental level, psychosomatic research has produced hard facts that show that suppressing feelings and depression, social isolation and constant negative stress, accompanied by an exaggerated desire for recognition, all play an important role in the development of heart attacks (64). There is no clearly defined “heart attack personality” due to the variety of causes of heart attacks. Nevertheless, emotional armour is strikingly frequent in heart patients. This inhibits the ability of the PNS to “swing”. “Body and mind” are blocked on the “yin side” as shown in this illustration of “yin weakness” as a focus of heart attack.
