How Physical Symptoms Alert you to an Emotional or Mental State
Physical symptoms are the tangible evidence of what is going on in your unconscious mind and how you are REALLY feeling deep inside. Symptoms occur because your body is trying to communicate with you and alert you to where you are out of balance. Both animals and humans show physical symptoms when they have an out-of-balance emotional state
Every time you have a thought or feeling, your body releases chemical proteins called neuropeptides. There are more than a thousand different neuropeptides--each triggering its own specific physiological effect. Without neuropeptides, your body could not function at all. Your heart would not beat. You would not breathe. You would not move. Hormones, for example, are neuropeptides, as are endorphins and adrenalin
When your mental and emotional state are out of balance, the resulting neuropeptides eventually have to cause physical symptoms to appear. This may occur over a prolonged period of time, so that by the time you see symptoms, you've held that state of being for quite some time, or you may even no longer have that state of being. Any prolonged negative mental state will weaken a correlating area of your body.
For instance, recent medical studies prove that depression is a greater cause of heart disease than smoking. Researchers found that in depressed people the blood platelets became more sticky, clogging arteries and veins. Depressed people lose hope. Lacking a feeling of love, they view life from a negative perspective, lacking optimism and positivity
Similarly, when an accident occurs, that your emotional weak areas are where an injury will gravitate. Pay attention to what was happening in your life at the time of an accident or injury. Recall your mental state and how you were FEELING at that time
Notice whether the problem is on the left or right side of your body. The left side indicates the problem has its roots in your emotional past. The right side indicates trepidation or concerns about the future. The middle indicates the present
While your situation may eventually change, the initial damage created by your body's 'chemical programming' won't change unless you deliberately 'reset' it. That's why FlorAlive is an important aspect of your healing process
For instance, your heart may have began to have problems because you lacked love for many years. You may not have seen or recognized any symptoms at that time. Now you have found love and are happy. But, your heart is now showing signs of damage
That's because you haven't cancelled out the earlier 'chemical programming'. In fact, the lifestyle change will precipitate the release of beneficial neuropeptides that may actually bring the initial issue to the forefront of your awareness to show you where you were out of balance
Headaches and hitting your head are the equivalent of a rap on the head to say "wake up and pay attention". You are ignoring your intuition--your gut feelings, or you are ignoring your own deep needs
Pain in the back of the head (where it joins to the spine) or pain in the neck means you believe you have made mistakes. You and others are judging yourself harshly. Cup this area in your right palm and repeatedly say "I am not guilty and I forgive myself for any mistakes I have made"
Eyes are like windows. They provide your perspective of the world. Nearsighted people tend to live in the moment and not plan for their future. Farsighted people tend to plan for the future and project their thoughts to the 'what if's'. They have a hard time staying in the here and now.
Eye problems indicate you aren't looking at something clearly, or don't want to examine something. Check the windows in your home. Are they dirty and murky, too? Often something as simple as cleaning your windows or getting new glasses can tell your brain "I want to see this situation more clearly"
Hearing problems or excess wax buildup indicate you don't want to hear what is going on around you. You are effectively 'tuning out'
Your mouth is how you taste the world. It deals with your senses, your 'sensuality'. When you lose your taste, you are disconnecting from the physical world. Your 2nd chakra is out of balance. Therefore, you are deying yourself pleasure. 2nd chakra deals with self identity, your creativity, your sexuality, and how you experience yourself in relation to others. When you disconnect from the world or other people, you disconnect from yourself
Neck, cervical vertebrae, and upper shoulders deal support your head and must be flexible. Your neck is the bridge between your head (logic) and your feelings (body). When tension and stiffness are in the neck area your prosperity consciousness is out of balance. You may be worrying about money, or placing too much emphasis on money, or not enough attention on creating security. You may be judging your ability to make money. Maybe you don't want to acknowledge that money is important. Or maybe those around you are out of balance in their prosperity consciousness. Perhaps you have your head turned backward looking at your past and judging yourself now?
Arms and hands reach out to others. Are you stifling your need to reach out and connect with others? Are you feeling alone and isolated? Are you feeling rejected?
Lungs and heart sustain your life. When you aren't sharing love, your heart and lungs deteriorate. Expressing love is more important than receiving love. You can intellectually know that someone loves you. You can experience demonstrations of that love. But, you cannot FEEL their love. The only way to actually FEEL love is to express it yourself. When you are in a state of love, your heart chakra and whole chest area expands. Your body's vibration raises. You feel happy, elevated, alive. You feel closer to God or something larger than yourself. Loving, therefore, is really a gift to yourself--not to another. So, stop feeling sorry for yourself if you think that no one loves you! That vibration is killing you! Realize that you DO NOT have to have personal love in order to feel love. You can feel unconditional love for everyone in your life, for humanity, for your pets, for the awe-inspiring beauty of our planet, for yourself. The important thing is that you allow yourself to feel love. It is your natural state. Expressing love attracts love from others. Get a pet and love it. Volunteer to help others. Let yourself be overwhelmed by beauty. Let your love out!
Your spinal column and skeleton literally support your body. Back pain reveals feeling a lack of support. Problems with your skeletal structure indicate obstacles and challenges in your life that are affecting you mentally and emotionally.
Upper (thoracic) vertebrae are connected to your heart chakra. (see heart and lungs above) Eyes, heart, heart chakra, and lungs are all affected by injury to the thoracic vertebrae. Perhaps you don't feel any love in your life or don't feel supported by love?
Damage to the mid thoracic section of your spine will affect your stomach, digestion, liver, gall bladder, adrenal gland, and reproductive organs. Middle back pain is carrying the weight of the past
Damage to the lumbar (lower) vertebrae and tailbone affects the reproductive organs, hips, large intestine, immune system, kidneys and bladder. The consequences of your childhood show up in this area of your body. Lumbar also causes family issues to surface. Damage here will block the root chakra, leading you to feel insecure and anxious. You may fear success or failure. You will feel a lack of financial support in your life--as though you are struggling alone. Your creativity and sexuality may be stifled. Tightly crossing you legs or clasping your hands in front of this area reveals imbalance in the lumbar region
Chronic pain Resentment and bitterness are like acid. They cause inflammation and pain. Stubborn, inflexible resentment goes to the knees and joints--the parts of your body that are designed to be open and flexible. Arthritis is bottled-up hurt
Cancer is a deep secret, hatred, guilt, or grief 'eating away' at you. Breast and uterine cancer reveals a lack of nurturing or self-nurturing in your life, or an inability to nurture others
Stomach and digestion are your physical assimilation process. Likewise, you assimilate information from your environment and process your own emotions. Digestive problems occur when you have an inability to 'digest' or absorb what is going on in your environment or inside your head or heart
Liver and gall bladder process your anger and negative emotions such as resentment. Anger weakens the liver. Diseases of the liver, such as Hep-C show long-held suppressed anger. Resentment and anger will also manifest as arthritis and degenerative states of your bones
Reproduction is our most creative process. It is how we expand and extend our inner selves into our environment. Problems with your reproductive system--uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries, testes, fertility--show that your 1st and 2nd chakra are out of balance. 2nd chakra deals with your self identity, individuality, creativity, sexuality, and your ability to experience pleasure. It's how you experience yourself in relation to others. 1st chakra is your root of being. It holds your survival issues, your sense of personal security. When you are feeling insecure, you will experience problems with your repoductive system. Your insecurity can also lead to insecurity about your future child, leading to infertitilty. You may believe 'the world is not a safe place'. Feeling vulnerable can also lead to shut down of the reporductive organs, or problems such as dryness and irritation in the vagina or vulva. After all, it is the most vulnerable spot on a woman--the place where you allow someone else to literally' enter you'. Stifling your creativity can also lead to problems with your reproductive system.
Hips, legs and calves are how you move forward in life. Your legs, calves and feet store much of your trauma, resentment, jealousy, and emotional pain, both past and present, especially in regard to your family. Problems in this area show a block in the root chakra, which makes you feel fearful of moving forward or making changes. You may be experiencing issues about your self identity. You may not feel any support in your life--as though you are the one supporting everyone else, or as though you cannot support yourself
Knees and feet carry the energy of your negative emotions. That is because the vibration of negative emotions is lower, heavier, causing these feelings to drop to the lowest points of your body. Inflammation here shows how you are nursing your hurt feelings. Stubborn, inflexible resentment goes to the knees and joints--the parts of your body that are designed to be open and flexible. Are you being rigid and inflexible? Have you created too many rules in your life? Are you holding on to the past and carrying the heavy weight of this?
