The sensation of pain in the body is normal, it is displayed in three forms of events: perception, energy and physical manifestation. A specific emotional state can be directly linked to every form of pain. Pain is only an external display of the emotional state, the body is able to accurately show us what the problem is so that the pain can be gotten rid of.
