The Body Speaks More Than Pain
Sometimes we think
“the body feels unwell” simply means we caught a cold, have diarrhea, or sore
muscles. But at a certain point on our spiritual path, the body becomes more
sensitive—it is no longer just a physiological system, but a “speaking vessel”
that holds messages from the subconscious, unresolved emotions, even ancestral
stories left unfinished.
I once experienced
chronic stiffness in my shoulders and neck. It felt like a hand gripping
tightly, refusing to let go. Massage, acupuncture, and physical therapy didn’t
help much—until during one meditation, I asked myself: “What am I trying so
hard to hold onto?” A whisper arose: “I’m afraid if I let go, I’ll lose
control.”
It was a belief seeded
in childhood—the need to control in order to feel safe. My shoulders were not
just carrying weight; they were holding onto a false sense of security.
This is not unique.
Some suffer from stomach pain rooted in repressed anger; others with lower back
pain often carry invisible responsibilities of “holding the family together.”
The body never lies. Every discomfort is a form of communication.
Healing Practice
Suggestions:
- Find a quiet time. Close your eyes. Ask:
“Where in my body feels tight or painful?”
- Imagine that part of your body as a
conscious being. Ask it: “Who are you? What do you want to tell me?”
- Don’t rush the answer. Allow emotions,
images, or memories to surface gradually.
- Write them down, or say: “Thank you for
showing me.”
Your body is never
your enemy. It is your soul’s most loyal companion.
