Somatization of Hell – How our belief system defines our health

Abstract

What if our spiritual beliefs make us a negative character? What if we hurt ourselves and our loved ones by clinging too tightly to what we believe? What if, at the end of life, when we meet God, He asks: "How was Heaven"? What if we are wrong? There are so many spiritual paths now, so much information, so much Knowledge to absorb, and so much fake knowledge to differentiate. Each time the inner barometer of discrimination gets overwhelmed, the current beliefs become stronger, even if they are flawed. The lack of mental and spiritual flexibility can slowly take the shape of ignorance and somatization. The physical body is the meeting point between the spiritual and the material and as a result, symptoms of confusion may occur in the physical body. This paper aims to emphasize the connection between spiritual beliefs, relationship with God, and somatoform disorders using a narrative review. By accepting the unacceptable and opening the belief system, one may be able to relieve the somatic symptoms and regain control of the body.
