Chico Xavier revelou: a ansiedade da alma começa muito antes do corpo adoecer.

There are pains that don't show up in exams. There are anguishes that disguise themselves as normality, while the spirit silently cries out for help. In a world that seeks quick answers to suffering, we often forget that the body merely reflects, in its limited language, the conflicts that began long before any visible sign. And it is about this forgotten truth that the serene voice of Chico Xavier warns us: anxiety, this state of constant restlessness that has so marked the hearts of our time, is not born in the body. It is a child of the soul. A soul that, in many cases, has been ill for a long time, carrying guilt, fear, resentment, and frustrations that span not only the years of this life, but sometimes several lifetimes. How many of us silently bear the weight of not being seen? How many grew up longing for affection that never came, hoping for recognition that never arrived, carrying in our hearts the open wound of rejection that began in childhood? Psychology is now beginning to name the effects of this with terms like "generalized anxiety disorder" or "panic syndrome." But the Spirits have long warned us that every disturbance of the spirit precedes organic symptoms. The body is the stage, but the play unfolds in the invisible. Allan Kardec, when organizing the teachings transmitted to him by the Higher Spirits, states clearly: "It is the spirit that molds the body according to the needs of its evolution." Thus, every alteration in matter—be it an illness, an imbalance, or even a psychic tendency—has, at its origin, the direct influence of that being's spiritual condition. When the soul is at peace with its conscience, in harmony with the Laws of God, the body tends toward balance. But when the spirit struggles in the web of guilt, fear, self-denial, or unresolved anger, this unbalanced energy converts, over time, into physical imbalances. In the works psychographed by Chico Xavier, we find countless accounts that confirm this truth. Emmanuel, your tireless spiritual guide, reminds us that "many of our physical ailments are shadows we project from our inner concerns." They are not divine punishments, but natural reflections of the Law of Cause and Effect, which operates precisely in guiding our experiences. In several messages, he emphasizes that a sick soul creates, through vibratory attraction, emotional environments conducive to the onset of illness. Anxiety, in this context, is not a sudden illness, but a symptom of a soul out of sync with its essence. André Luiz, an observant spirit and profound analyst of the relationships between the physical and spiritual worlds, accurately describes in his works how the perispirit—this intermediary body between the spirit and the physical body—records the emotions, thoughts, and imbalances we cultivate. In the book "In the Domains of Mediumship," he reveals that prolonged emotions such as fear, guilt, and resentment create true lesions in the perispirit, which later resonate in the physical body. Anxiety, seen by medicine as merely a neurochemical imbalance, is presented by him as a disorganized vibrational field within the being, fueled by repetitive thoughts and unpurified emotions. It is not uncommon for current anxiety to be linked to past reincarnation experiences. Spirits who, in previous existences, immersed themselves in responsibilities they were unable to fulfill, or who caused pain to others and have not forgiven themselves, carry within them the restlessness of a conscience seeking reparation. Thus, even in the face of a seemingly peaceful life, the soul carries within itself an affliction unexplained by current circumstances. This explains why so many people suffer intensely without knowing exactly why.
