What Your Symptoms are Trying to Tell You

You might think your body's symptoms - the aches, the pains, the exhaustion, the hormonal swings - are simply aging. Bad genetics. Unexplainable problems no one can seem to solve. But what if I told you, your symptoms are actually your body screaming for your attention?
Every physical response your body gives is a response to emotional and energetic imbalances that it wants you to pay attention to. Much like your car that starts to make strange noises and clunking reflecting a larger problem, your body responds to compacted emotional, physical, and energetic stress by giving you feedback to get your attention. When you ignore it, it gets worse. If you take steps to alleviate it, but not understand and resolve it, i.e. medication, medical intervention, substance abuse you just move the energy deeper or somewhere else in your body.
I can't tell you how many times I've had clients come to me after they've been on medication for a few months - and are now telling me that it stopped giving them the results they needed OR that they now have several more medical needs that require more medication.
Don't get me wrong. Sometimes medications are necessary for life and can help manage physical and psychological symptoms that have become unbearable or life-threatening. However, even on those medications the underlying core issue still exists. Medication doesn't heal the body. It simply redirects the system to function through mimicking key chemicals the body needs.
The problem is when the body isn't producing naturally what it needs to it sets off an entirely new set of issues where intercellular communication can't happen to continue to biological processes necessary to complete the function related to the deficiency. Even in the event that intervention is effective - for instance sometimes a surgical procedure can correct a health issue - the beliefs, emotions, and behaviors still exist - and therefore manifest in a different way!
The only real solution is to dive into the exploration of what your body is trying to tell you and understand it's a beautiful opportunity for growth in so many mystical ways. When you learn to speak your body's language - your body starts to give you everything you need from it.
Here's a quick breakdown of a few common health symptoms:
Neck and shoulder pain = carrying the burdens of others, feeling weighed down by responsibility
Lower back pain = money issues, lack of financial support, lack of male support
Anxiety = Living too much in the future, difficulty planning ahead, trying to control the future, out of balance with your own needs and wants
Depression/Lethargy = doing things that aren't aligned with your higher soul, playing small, unsure about how to expand and achieve your goals and dreams, feeling held back by others
Weight (non-metabolic) = hidden trauma
Weight (metabolic) = loss of self, giving all your energy to others needs, not being able to get what you want out of life, burying your own emotions to take care of/support others
Autoimmune Disease = your sense of self has been confused, lost, or constantly attacked
High Blood Pressure = feeling too much pressure from life and little control, lacking a strong spiritual connection, making choices for material survival and not based on your desires
These are just a few examples and the connection can be traced back to ages, incidents, beliefs you picked up, emotions, and more!
