Energy Body Language
The human body speaks many languages. Each body part holds meaning and has a specific way of communicating physical and energetic needs. This blog entry offers a broad summary of what different body parts may be trying to say to you.
Energetically, feet are associated with grounding and basic survival needs. Chronic foot problems or repeated tripping and stumbling may indicate issues with money, career, home life, or the personal safety and security of your family or your self.
Energetically, knees represent how we move through life. They are an indicator of how quickly and fluidly we pivot, shift, turn, stop and start through life's many ups, downs and unexpected changes. How do you recover after spontaneous change? Knee pain, injury, swelling, soreness, weakness and buckling may imply a need to be more flexible, adaptable and accepting of life changes. There may also be a need to be better prepared for the unexpected.
Thigh energy relates to beliefs we hold pertaining to masculinity and femininity. These 'acceptances' may be inherited or the result of social programming. Sexual ambiguity and unprocessed emotions related to masculine and feminine nature may also need to be addressed. Physically, these issues may manifest as thigh pain, popping or snapping, weakness, or over- or under-developed thigh muscles.
Hips are associated with root chakra energy. They relate to and govern career and job related issues. Hip joint problems, pain on the inside or outside of your hip, upper thigh or outer buttock may indicate a need to reassess career goals, rethink your current employment situation, develop new skills, make a career change or create an exit plan. Use your intuition and seek help from ancestral and spirit guides to point you in the right direction.
The sacral chakra is located about two inches below the navel in the lower abdomen. It houses feelings, sensuality, intimacy, emotions and pleasure. Pelvic pain, cramps, urinary disorders and issues with the reproductive system in men and women may indicate a need to get in touch with your feelings. It's time to heal old emotional wounds so you can reconnect to people and circumstances that bring you joy and pleasure.
The stomach area above the navel is related to the solar plexus chakra. This is the center of your mental gifts and success drivers. If you have stomach ulcers, tingles or pain in your belly, acid reflux/indigestion, pancreatic or metastatic cancer, diabetes, pancreatitis or stress, it may be time to honor your gut instincts and reacquaint yourself with what you want and what brings you true joy and happiness. Stop worrying about what others think of you. Release any fears and worries. Stop being a control freak!
Energetically, the heart relates to the heart chakra. This is where we harbor beliefs about our innocence and worthiness of pure and simple desires and needs. It is the center of relationships, behaviors and personality. Congestive heart failure, stroke, high blood pressure, cardiac arrest, congenital heart disease or arrhythmia may signal a need for balance in your business, romantic or platonic relationships. It also speaks to how you relate to family and others in the world.
Energetically, the thymus gland is associated with the connection between you and your spiritual identity. This includes your beliefs about the right to be strong and safe. Lymphatic system disorders, immune system problems, thymoma, DiGeorge's syndrome or thymus cancer may signal a need to reconnect with Source, embrace your divinity, and establish an awareness that you are meant to have a joy-filled, healthy and balanced existence, free from illness and debilitating stress.
The face is associated with how you see the world and what you need to see when you wake up in the morning. Unexplained skin eruptions, uneven skin tone, chapped lips, yellow or redness in the whites of eyes, or swollen eyes may indicate a need to shift your perspective of the world. You may be missing or misinterpreting something important. Slow down in the morning so you can connect with messages from the universe. Take a moment to ask, "What should I be taking notice of"? Watch and listen for responses from your higher self.
