Being a bodyworker and making Spirituality my number one priotity, I'm really into putting healthy things into my body. Not only do I want to feel and look good, but my body is a temple that I have to live in for the rest of this life. Im into natural rememedies, fitness, yoga, all that. Whats equally important to me is the thoughts that we allow to manifest within us. All dis-ease is created by thoughts and behaviors from the self. I have argued with people over this many times, and I do not back down from this statement. The truth is many times what we DO NOT want to hear, but it is universal and we must understand truth to transform and evolve.
If you truly look at the symbolism of what your body is telling you and you are honest with yourself, you will find the meaning and lesson your body/higher self is telling you (and be able to heal yourself from there). This can manifest in behavioral and personality traits as well. For example, if people tell you that you constantly have a negative outlook on life, it's because that personality trait is manifested due to the fact that you constantly fill your own head with negative thoughts, so that becomes all you know. A lot of people argue they are this way or that because of how they grew up/how they were treated etc. The seemingly unfair reality of life's circumstances is unfortunate. All of us have gone through things that can really have the potential to ruin us, however your life is worth it~ get over it so you can enjoy your life.
True, someone may have done you wrong in the past, and probably many times. Welcome to human existance! Life is pain, and it takes creativity, consciousness, and connection (3 c's? I did not try that) to make it through in peace. The reason you are affected by others' actions is because you ALLOW it to. And dwelling on the matter and getting angry and frustrated adds fire to the problem and to the dis-ease.
Once you realize the cause of a dis-ease or unfavorable character trait you may have , then focus first on acceptance. Accept the situation for what it is, not good, not bad, just look @ it as if you were watching it from afar with no emotional charge attached to it. Try Meditating and opening your heart chakra. Sit cross legged on a comfortable pillow. Take a few deep breaths in and out. Imagine a green flower bud in the middle of your chest. Allow it to open, creating a beautiful green flower bursting with a green beam of light shoot forth from it. If you can truly visualize this, it automatically opens you up to be more loving and accepting.
The second step to healing is forgiveness. Forgive whoever has wronged you~ this may seem impossible, but it is crucial for your inner peace. Focus and meditate on the act of selflessness and non-judgement, and this will aid if forgiveness. Maybe find a mantra that you can chant over and over as you meditate, such as the words "selflessness" and "non-judgement." Imagine seeing the person surrounded by an aura of blue/white sparkley light from heaven, see their soul, not their faults. See them as a pure being. Hold them in a high light. Say out loud "I forgive you" Smile and let them float away. Do this as often as bad thoughts about them creep up.
These two things are personal meditation and consciousness practices. One more thing you can do to heal is to see a healer, bodyworker, or massage therapist. Depending on the size of your problems, u may want to go weekly or even biweekly. Talk to them and figure out a payment plan. Find someone who can help you. Receiving bodywork can help you get to the root of your problems on a cellular, mental, and spiritual level. Don't ask how, it just does. Do some research and find some kind of bodywork that resonates with you. Anything from Reiki, Lomi Lomi, Ayurveda, Watsu, Shiatsu, . . . . . many times we cannot see. If you trust in healing and know your Creator wants you to be healed, then you will be. If your mind is holding you back, it will be more of a challenge. And the road to recovery is not usually easy, so be patient with your process.
I am going to list a few things that to me the body tells us through pain and dis-ease.
I am going to be very general. The following list is of symptoms that may pop up for you and what they can mean. You will know what resonates with you if you are willing to look within.
head/brain= too much thinking, not enough breath, filling head with negative, dark, or worrisome thoughts
eyes= need to see from a new perspective, issues of judgement
neck= having trouble getting from one level to the next, feeling "stuck", unable to process life
eyes= need to see from a new perspective, issues of judgement
ears= need to listen better, eavesdropping for gossip
lips= speaking non truth/gossip/cruel malicious words, or not speaking your truth and saying things you must say
throat= communication issues
shoulders= taking on too much responsibilty or others' responsibilities or fears, regrets, hard on yourself, others hard on you, feeling pressure to do something
heart= unbalance of giving and receiving (one may be non-existant or very low, or one is way too much and for the wrong reasons), jealousy, lack of self love
hands= doing too much for others or not enough, giving and receiving issues, issues of healing others or self
Stomach= having trouble "digesting" life. Ex:Not understanding why things have happened to you, or you haven't understood things that are very important and you must pay attention to dealing with your life choices. frustrated at the chaos of life. If it's stomach problems due to nervousness and anxiety, remember to breathe in deep, deep breaths and try to stop the thought process. Stomach could also mean depletion in energy and wanting to give up/feeling drained, or on the other side of the spectrum too much energy/extra energy that isn't getting used
Sexual organs= connection with self and with the earth is not complete, issues with acceptance of self, not knowing who you are. Self care on a physical level. If you are addicted to sex it means you are trying to make up for something in your life that's missing.
Legs= overwork, underwork, needing to take the time to rest or needing to be more active, issues of independence, issues of stability
Glutes= issues from the past
Feet= issues of grounding, showing imbalance somewhere in the body (depending on where in the foot- research Reflexology). Connection with Earth needs to be made or strengthened.
Menstrual problems= too much feminine energy or not enough. (For more information, research feminine energy and yin)
This is a vague description of a very in-depth metaphysical study. Recommended reading: The Hidden Messages in Water by Masaru Emoto. This book is a quick read and can change your life~find out how your thoughts can manifest themselves.
