All negative states of mind and emotions are destructive. They work harm to some one of the body's organs or interfere with its functions.

This is possible because the sympathetic nervous system, which controls the automatic functions of the body, such as circulation and elimination, digestion and nutrition, is open to influence by the subconscious mind.
