Hot Flashes Psychosomatic and Holistic Meaning and Interpretation

Hyperthyroidism refers to the excessive secretion of thyroid hormones. Please refer to thyroid gland problems.
It signifies hyperactivity and an overactive thyroid gland. Metabolism accelerates, leading to symptoms like hot flashes and sweating. Individuals with hyperthyroidism are deeply disappointed as they struggle to fulfill their genuine desires or express their thoughts. Instead, they respond to external expectations rather than their inner needs. Consequently, they experience resentment, frustration, and even hatred toward anything that does not align with their expectations. They may also heed others' advice while ignoring their inner voice. Hyperactive individuals impose tight deadlines on themselves, which forces them to rush through projects. There is a constant need to move faster. When the thyroid is overactive, difficulties with time management often arise, leading to delays. Eventually, the body delivers a message. Awareness of personal power dawns, prompting individuals to make decisions and act based on their inner wisdom. They realize they are co-creators of their lives.

Menopause is a natural phenomenon that occurs in women around the age of fifty. It is commonly perceived as a challenging period marked by physical and emotional instability, akin to the difficulties of puberty. Symptoms include hot flashes, fatigue, insomnia, and nervousness (men may experience similar phenomena around the age of sixty, known as andropause, see this term).
Menopause represents a natural transition in a woman's life. Those experiencing the mentioned issues often struggle with accepting the aging process. Furthermore, as menopause marks the end of reproductive years, accepting the conclusion of this vital female function can be challenging. This transition requires women to rely more on their masculine principles to navigate this stage with ease. Women who find it difficult to embrace their masculine side may face greater challenges during this phase.
The more challenging this transition is, the more it signals the need to let go of the fear of aging. Despite the changes in bodily functions, one can still lead a fulfilling life. It's essential to redefine the concept of aging. Aging doesn't equate to death, disability, undesirability, isolation, or uselessness. With age, individuals typically become wiser due to accumulated experience and resources for coping with various situations.
Now, you must grant yourself the freedom to create for yourself. Prior to menopause, women are often occupied with procreation and catering to others. It's your time now to focus on self-creation, using your masculine principle to make deliberate decisions and spend more quality time with yourself.
During the autumn of life, a woman's body undergoes changes that require acceptance. This emotional period can stir up feelings of desirability, loveability, and self-worth. Reflecting on one's life may lead to regrets or a sense of missed opportunities. The first half of life is considered the "active period" where action, procreation, and construction predominate. It's characterized by rationality, active organization, and the dominance of the masculine or "Yang" side. However, during menopause, some women may feel diminished and tend to focus on domestic and social obligations, suppressing their femininity, sweetness, and creativity associated with the feminine or Yin side. Hot flashes during menopause may signify an inner conflict, with the feminine side being overshadowed by symptoms triggered by the masculine side. The most effective approach is to rediscover the valuable, wise woman within, accepting this transition as an opportunity for self-discovery and personal growth. Affirm: "I embrace the transformations in my body and my inner, spiritual life, as well as my social and family life. I live in simplicity, savoring each moment and harnessing the power to create my life with the wisdom acquired through experiences."

What sets inflammatory diseases apart, especially those that end in "itis" (such as sinusitis, bronchitis, arthritis, etc.)? I found Dr. Geerd Hamer's research, known as the NEW MEDICINE, particularly interesting. According to him, inflammatory diseases occur after the resolution of a biological conflict. He explains that the moment the conflict is resolved or removed, the body, with the brain's assistance, enters a healing phase, during which infectious or inflammatory diseases may manifest. For example, a person who can no longer tolerate their boss and decides to take a vacation may develop sinusitis soon after arriving at their vacation destination. (A biological conflict is a sudden, unexpected, and intense shock that leaves a person feeling powerless and unable to respond. These conflicts are different from the everyday challenges we can prepare for.) Even during the healing phase, seeking medical assistance is not discouraged. However, it's essential to verify whether the conflict has genuinely been resolved, often through love and forgiveness, or if the solution is only temporary. Dr. Hamer categorizes diseases into two types: hot and cold. Hot diseases, like inflammation, indicate that the conflict has been resolved, and the body is replenishing itself. He asserts that diseases are biphasic, with 500 diseases initially being cold (when the conflict is active) and then becoming hot (during the healing phase after conflict resolution). Both in humans and animals, pain during illness primarily serves a biological purpose: immobilizing the affected body part to facilitate optimal healing. Pain can occur during the conflict-active phase (cold illness), as in cases like angina pectoris or stomach ulcers. In the healing phase (hot disease), pain arises from inflammation, infection, swelling, or scarring. I find Dr. Hamer's research and the work of other physicians, such as Dr. Siegel and Dr. Simonton, fascinating, as they encourage us to explore new perspectives. I cannot definitively confirm their claims, as determining the absolute truth is challenging. Therefore, it's wiser to examine their findings within oneself to discover one's own truth. Some doctors have successfully integrated Dr. Hamer's New Medicine principles with traditional medicine, achieving patient satisfaction and well-being. Ultimately, you decide what to believe. Importantly, even when the body is in the healing phase, seeking medical care is valid. Still, while medicine attends to your physical body, you must also care for your emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. I would like to emphasize that resolving conflicts, rather than merely moving away from them, is essential for lasting healing. Consider the example of someone who develops sinusitis after distancing themselves from a disliked boss. Medicine may provide a temporary solution, but true resolution involves addressing the underlying conflict to prevent further episodes of sinusitis. Therefore, it's crucial to distinguish between distancing oneself from a conflict and genuinely resolving it.

Paludism, commonly known as malaria, is an infectious disease caused by a parasite transmitted through mosquito bites. It is characterized by chills, fever, anemia, and a recurring pattern of febrile attacks. The typical onset includes a shivering phase lasting twenty to sixty minutes, known as the cold onset, followed by a rise in temperature during the hot onset, often reaching 40 to 42°C, followed by sweating and exhaustion. For more details, please refer to the sections on fever and parasites.

Panadize is an infection caused by various germs, leading to necrosis (cell death) in a part of the fingers. This condition is associated with finger problems and hot abscesses. Additionally, it may be linked to feelings of repression, emotional fatigue, a lack of desire to help others or engage in work. When the fingers are affected, it can signify difficulty in initiating everyday tasks, while toe involvement relates to concerns about the future. This condition reflects passivity and indifference, and it's essential to release repressed negative emotions and thoughts.

Anxiety is an irrational fear. Those who suffer from it constantly anticipate an unpredictable and unidentifiable danger. Anxiety hinders the ability to live in the present moment, causing ceaseless worry. It leads to excessive dwelling on the past, events experienced, or things that happened to others. People with anxiety possess fertile imaginations and often spend excessive time envisioning unlikely scenarios. They vigilantly search for signs that validate their anxieties.

When you sense an impending anxiety crisis, recognize that your imagination is taking over, preventing you from enjoying the present. Remind yourself that you don't need to prove anything. Be yourself, with your flaws and strengths, just like everyone else. Embrace the unknown, trusting your intuition to guide you when given the opportunity. It may also be helpful to place more trust in those around you and allow them to support you in their own way. This anxiety can sometimes be linked to agoraphobia, so it's worth looking into this term.

Anxiety often exhibits physical symptoms such as headaches, hot flashes, muscle tension, nervous palpitations, excessive sweating, increased vocalization, crying, and even insomnia. The "shiver of anguish" may be experienced, indicating fear, tightening of the throat, loss of self-control, and a sense of impending doom. Anxiety can lead to a disconnection between the physical world, where one maintains some control, and the immaterial world, where rational explanations are lacking. The feeling of being out of control and fearing that something catastrophic will happen at any moment can be overwhelming. Anxiety can emerge in any situation where your attention is fixated on fear, and it may be linked, either closely or remotely, to the fear of death or reminders thereof. Fears of the unknown and an unconscious denial of life and its processes contribute to this anxiety. By shifting your focus and having faith that the best is unfolding for you in the present moment and in the future, symptoms and the fear of death will subside.




Have faith that the best is happening for you in the present moment and in the future.

The term "psychosomatic" describes the relationship between the mind (psycho) and the body (soma). Originally, it implied that the mind influenced the body and vice versa. However, the modern medical use of "psychosomatic" primarily emphasizes the mind's connection to the body. When I am told that my illness is psychosomatic, it doesn't mean the illness is imaginary, but rather that it has roots in the mind. From a metaphysical perspective, all illnesses have origins beyond the physical, making them essentially psychosomatic. To address my health, I must care for my body while also searching for the root cause that triggered the ailment or illness. The subconscious mind possesses immense regenerative power and can produce physical effects based on its interpretations. For example, freezing to death in a refrigerator compartment may occur due to a lack of awareness when the refrigeration system stops. Walking on hot coals without harm can happen when the subconscious perceives no danger. ALL DISEASES EMERGE AFTER A CONFLICT, AN EMOTIONAL IMPACT, OR A CONSCIOUS/UNCONSCIOUS TRAUMA. The brain activates a biological survival mechanism in response to the experienced conflict or trauma. Deciphering this message is key to modifying the brain's program and restoring health. While understanding this, I must continue caring for my physical body to improve my overall health.
