Something that has always fascinated me is the link between the body and the emotion/s that we harbour in a particular area and how that can manifest as pain in our physical bodies.
The back section of my copy of 'You Can Heal Your Life' and 'The Body is the Barometer of the Soul' are well-thumbed from me checking what is going on when I feel pain in a certain part of my body or a friend tells me that they have a pain. They have become my go-to guides.
To me, it just makes sense that we are all energy, our emotions are energy and emit a certain frequency or vibration. If left unexpressed or held onto, these emotions can manifest as illnesses in certain parts of the body. I know I may be preaching to the choir to some of you who are already up on this, but stick with me for a bit.....
What I have been noticing more and more lately and myself included, is a lot of people feeling like they are harbouring anger, holding onto it., feeling trapped by it because it has nowhere to go We're taught from early on, not to be angry and it's not nice to express our anger. But guess what happens when we don't express these feelings? They go and hide out in the body. Anger they say harbours in the liver.
We're taught to be good girls and boys, to say and do nice things. But we all know that with life comes the downs with the ups. There are times when we need to let it all out, to let the rage come through us and out of us in order to shift the energy, to clear our vibration and to move forward or out of the current situation we are in. There are healthy ways in which we can choose to do this - writing a letter and then burning it, screaming or punching into a pillow, getting out into nature and screaming at the top of our lungs - whatever you feel called to do.
Now I am not talking about taking this anger or rage or fury out on anyone else. I believe that we need to learn healthier ways to deal with anger - it is after all a natural emotion. It can become troublesome when it becomes our initial and normal reaction to situations, this is when we need to go and take a long, hard look at ourselves and what is going on within and around us, and where the source of the anger is coming from.
For the most-part though, we can begin to take a different approach to anger when we notice its presence. What if we when we noticed anger appearing, we had a gentle conversation with it. 'Hello Anger, I can see you are here again, what is it that you would like to tell me today? What message do you have? What are you trying to tell me that I am not getting? What do you need from me right now?' And just sit with that. Whether it's an internal conversation with yourself or something that you choose to work through in your journal - just do that. There is no right or wrong.
If you are noticing pain in a particular part of your body, tune into that. Acknowledge that it is there. Ask it what emotion it's relating to. Ask it what it wants you to know. Ask it what it's message is for you. We have an innate wisdom within ourselves that often goes untouched because we are afraid of delving into the unpretty and undesirable thoughts and feelings we have, we give our power away to others, often paying them to 'fix' the problem, when the real solution lies within. There is much insight for us to gain when we can begin to have these conversations with ourselves.
And quite often, the best and the simplest thing we can do for the pain in our body, is to send it love. It's here because it wants to be recognised, to be acknowledged. Send some love and see what happens.
In love, light and gratitude
