The Physical Immune System and the Mental immune System are the Same Thing

You know when you are becoming ill. Your mental well being is impacted first. You become less resilient, more sensitive, more emotional, more irrational. Everything jars your nerves. 

As a spiritual person, these are the times when we ground, centre and shield. We might pray, meditate or look at nature. We implement self-care. 

When we identify a physical cause, we take care of our body, eating carefully, taking remedies, resting, drinking fluids.

These are flip sides of the same immune issue. They are two different languages to express the same thing. Physical. Spiritual.

But I'm interested in the times when we really don't feel ok but the physical cause isn't physically apparent. Medical science calls this mental illness or a personality disorder, but I think there is another explanation. 

The dynamics of interpersonal or individual energy provide a spiritual language for illness of malaise that are not of a physical origin. 

Thought forms, negative entities, astral parasites or even demons which attach or possess, are real phenomena. Empathic and vampiric energy exchange are daily experiences.

As an Autistic woman, I spend my life focussing on and and interpreting the interplay of energy between myself and others in my environment. I cannot not experience this, it is the plane of existence that I live on along with a handful of others. Yet I cannot easily regulate the effects of this on my body without dumping this energy out somehow. I feel the back and forth of energy even if a person is not present. I can magnify energy until it makes me ill, even if it's source is decades old. 

Just as the immune system can attack itself in an allergic reaction, the energetic system can attack us too, it seems to me.

How to process this energy, catch it, transmute it or ground it is the focus of my life. Whether I am using theraputic or medical terms, emotional or spiritual ones, it's all the same thing.
