Have you ever been told to suppress your emotions?Growing up, there are instances in which you may have been told that it's wrong to feel a certain way. This is also carried onto life experiences in school, in your career, or simply everyday life.

He is a student of Grand Master Mantak Chia at the Universal Tao Master School in Chiang Mai, Thailand, and is currently pursuing his Master’s and Doctorate degrees in Traditional Chinese Medicine.Kashif and Christopher discuss how difficult it is to treat physical illnesses if your mental health is not in a good state as it affects your perception.
