Are you poisoning yourself with your own thoughts – how does a sick soul destroy the body? Dr Monika Czerska

This point is one of the most well-known in acupressure. Dr. Czerska demonstrates it on her own wrist and emphasizes that the Chinese often tap it or buy a special acupressure band at the pharmacy that constantly presses it. She explains that women (yin) should act more on the right hand, but for balance it is worth pressing both. She says that this point is the 'broken hearts point' – brilliant in states of emotional breakdown. She mentions how Mateusz Kusznierewicz, a sailor, told her: it's the only point I know, and it works for seasickness.

Dr. Czerska points out that not every panic attack is purely psychological – it may have a metabolic basis (tetany from magnesium/potassium/calcium deficiency). Therefore, before starting purely psychological therapy, it is worth ruling out somatic causes. Nevertheless, in the acute moment, the most important thing is to break the vicious circle of hyperventilation. Breathing into a bag is a simple, accessible method. She adds that if you have an essential oil with you (e.g., the emotions oil you got from her), it can immediately stimulate you to life and restore feeling in the body.

Dr. Czerska describes that when she finally sits or lies down in silence and disconnects from everything, she feels how blood flows through her, how her organs work – this is a moment of interoception, i.e., listening to the inside of the body. Often then come emotions, sudden memories from childhood (grandma, grandpa, tastes), which turn out to be key to understanding oneself. She notes that in such moments she thinks to herself: 'Damn, what have I been doing until now? Where have I been? What was I chasing after?' and realizes that all her life she was running after someone, giving away her energy, without asking what she herself needs. This daily ritual has become for her a 'Wi-Fi' from which she draws strength, even when being on an energy deficit.

Dr. Czerska emphasizes that nature works on us at the subconscious level – grandma's scent, the sound of a tree can unlock deep memories and give a sense of security. She describes how a tree can become a friend: when you touch it regularly with the intention of exchanging energy, you begin to feel that it is warm and waiting for you. This is not mysticism, but the neurology of perception – the brain creates emotional associations. She mentions that her grandfather taught her to recognize trees by the color of the glow in the sky, and her grandmother walked with a divining rod – such experiences shape sensitivity to the immaterial dimension of the world.

Dr. Czerska argues that even if tests show no abnormalities, the patient suffers genuinely – and behind this suffering are often 'blocked emotions' and traumas that are not their own, but ancestral. In Chinese medicine, the pulse reveals the truth that the patient does not speak, or hides from themselves. Therefore, before administering any medications or therapies, she first examines the quality of the pulse and asks whether the patient feels loved, whether they have support, whether they want to take responsibility for their life. Only on this foundation can one begin to reverse the disease. A doctor who omits this stops at the surface and does not reach the root cause, thus not curing, but merely managing symptoms.

Dr. Czerska emphasizes that it is not about rejecting conventional treatment, but about simultaneous work with the mind and soul. She believes that the body has a tremendous capacity for self-repair if a person stops dwelling in the low frequencies of fear and regret. She tells how she herself, with a serious disease (the nature of which she does not disclose), does not give in to panic, but records affirmations daily, works with breath, and treats the disease like a friend whom one can thank and part with. This attitude does not guarantee a cure in the statistical sense, but – as she emphasizes – cases of spontaneous remission even of glioblastomas are known when a person entered a high level of spiritual and emotional integration.

Dr. Czerska explains that the soul needs silence and stopping to make itself known – not in the language of sentences, but through gesture, smell, memory. When a person watches a sunset and feels moved, that is precisely contact with the soul. The problem is that the modern lifestyle leaves no room for doing nothing, and without this, one cannot hear one's own mission. The soul gives direction, and the mind only later fills in the details. That is why practices such as walking without a phone, hugging a tree, or simply being in nature without a goal are so important – then the soul begins to speak.
