The controls used on emotional arousal and cognitive processes are difficult in several societies, because of the presence of beliefs in several more issues and forces, which influence the bidirectional to and fro journey of effects between mental health and mental illness. Human beings in general accept only experiential methods of verifications and approval of reality, when they come in contact with their own mental and physical conditions. However, many may still be influenced by suggestions and produce experiences as per suggestions, which may not respond to scientific methods of verifications and corrections. Mental health and diseases, mainly in the domain of emotional health may therefore be affected by beliefs and psychological effects produced from cognitive processes and cognitive molding of emotions. Interventions in the cognitive and emotional domains do often work and changes may be brought out at the psychological and biological levels

Are you ready to transform your current thoughts, beliefs and assumptions? Are you ready to optimize your health and energy, amplify your physical strength and create outrageous results in every single area of your life? Humans possess an innate self-healing potential, an ‘inner wisdom of the body’. Accessing this self-healing system is the primary goal of the healing arts. And addressing the cause of any illness is the first step towards accessing the body’s own healing potential. Too much health emphasis today is on the magic bullets (introduced every other day) to fix sickness. Even with drugs, the body does the healing. The medical profession will openly admit that they do not have a cure for any autoimmune disease and can only treat to offer relief to victims. Which is why natural, non-pharmaceutical measures should generally be the first approach - not the last resort! Both in the Indian system of Ayurveda and even in modern medicine, there have been attempts to stress the role of the mind in disease. William Harvey so graphically described the role of the mind in disease when he wrote in 1648 AD, “When in anger, the pupils contract, in infamy and shame, the cheeks blush, in lust does the member gets distended and erected in no time!”

"Jon knows, better than most, what it means to battle anxiety and how to forge a path to victory. He also treats it with care, and pushes the conversation to places that it hasn't often gone in the church." —Kirk Cameron In the aftermath of the pandemic, even those who have never struggled with mental health have found themselves reeling, looking for answers they don't know how to find. For Christians, especially those who've despaired of help from a church that has too often stigmatized mental health challenges as a lack of faith, the way forward can be particularly difficult to see. Jonathon Seidl aims to fix that. Having fought his own way through crippling anxiety, life-altering OCD, and suicidal thoughts, he knows the value of concrete advice grounded in strong biblical truth. Instead of the trite or unsympathetic counsel that's often given, Finding Rest is practical, personal, and productive. Full of compelling stories, humor from a guide who's still on his journey, and scriptural truths, this book offers real hope and help. It also provides a lifeline for friends and family who long for ways to help relieve the suffering of their loved ones. And it lays out thoughtful, needed paths for the body of Christ to become a refuge of hope for the anxious.
