The Pain You Feel May Be Linked To Your Emotions!

Did you know that physical pain and illnesses are manifestations of our mental/emotional state? Author Louise Hay outlines the mind-body connection that results in physical symptoms within our body in Heal Your Body A-Z. She goes beyond just physical pain and associates the emotional triggers for illnesses such as diabetes, cancer, hypertension, heart disease, arthritis, allergies, etc. Definitely check out her book online to see the complete list!

You might be thinking, “I actually hurt myself and that’s why I’m feeling pain!” However, the pain I’m referring to is chronic pain – long term. When you experience pain in your neck or shoulders that just doesn’t go away, I personally experience this myself and have been since high school. That’s 10 years! I’ve definitely got some healing to do 🙂

The emotional triggers that may cause:

• neck pain – repressing yourself from communicating your truth. Being stubborn and not seeing other perceptions of a situation.
• shoulder pain – unconsciously carrying other peoples pain on your shoulders, taking on burdens.
• upper back pain – feelings of grief and sadness are stored in this area. Lack of emotional support, feeling unloved and also withholding love.
• middle back pain – feelings of guilt, insecurity and not feeling supported.
• lower back pain – feelings of unworthiness, shame, and lack of financial support.
• elbow pain – represents a change in your life and accepting new experiences – if you have a hard time accepting change you may feel pain in your elbow.
• hip pain – represents a fear of moving forward with important decisions.
• knee pain – represents pride and ego, inability to bend or adapt – inflexibility.
• skins issues – going through inner transformation and old energy is leaving the body.
• stomach issues – inability to process emotions.

Have a wonderful week filled with lots of positive experiences! Remember to be grateful for even the smallest things! I appreciate silly things like fresh air and being able to lay on the ground. The way I see it, chances are – someone, somewhere doesn’t even have that!
