Why no imbalance stays where it starts.
We tend to treat crises as isolated events — a bad back, a burnout, a breakup. But biology has no borders. When one system cracks, the others reorganize around the damage. Fatigue becomes irritability. Stress becomes skin. A loss of focus becomes a loss of faith.
Modern wellness still behaves as though the mind, body, and environment are neatly separated departments. You can optimize your hormones while ignoring your habits, meditate through chaos, or detox while living in emotional pollution. It doesn’t work.
In Europe, the more ancient philosophy — and the more modern science — agree: the body is a network of responses. Every input ripples outward. Every neglect echoes. Healing one dimension requires listening to all the others.
The next time something “small” goes wrong, don’t rush to correct it. Watch how it moves. The real message is rarely in the symptom — it’s in the spread.
