Spiritual components of physical conditions 
Since we are spiritual as well as physical beings, our thoughts, attitudes and emotions affect our health at least as much as the physical world. Profound healing becomes possible when we address both the spiritual and the physical aspects of a condition. Use this section to address the spiritual component(s) of a condition. Seek medical attention from your healthcare provider to address the physical. For more in-depth information, check out Why do we get sick / suffer injuries / have accidents?

Condition / body part Spiritual component


ABack to Navigate
Abdomen
Since the abdomen contains many of our organs, the spiritual condition of our innermost thoughts will manifest there

Issues that can arise
Abdominal aortic aneurysm
Abdominal bloating
Abdominal distension
Itchy abdomen
Abdominal pain


Abdomen bloating
Putting too much, or too little, emphasis on self. See ego, self-importance


Abdomen distension
Excessive thoughts of ego, self-importance, or self-condemnation, or shame. See self-esteem


Abdomen pain
See distress


Ability to learn
Results from our feelings of worthiness to be alive, to receive nourishment, to receive focused, loving attention, and to participate meaningfully in the family

Issues that can arise
ADD / ADHD
Learning disorders


Absence seizure (Generalized)
Feeling extremely vulnerable ("I want my mommy!"). Trying to "seize" someone's attention. See Anger, fear


Absenteeism / Tardiness
Absenteeism and chronic lateness are passive/aggressive forms of abandonment in which we are unable or unwilling to meet responsibilities. It is the source of many of life’s difficulties and can infuriate those who are waiting for us, and sometimes that is the whole point. See avoidance, dawdling, defiance, silent rebellion

Spiritual effects
Unable or unwilling to follow through on commitments, depression

Physical effects
Arrhythmia, hypothyroidism

Change the pattern
Meditate to find and resolve the reason for the pattern. Visit WikiHow to Learn how to prioritize

Note: Do you know someone who is always late to meet you? Try setting a limit for how long you will wait for them (your choice whether to let them know). Maybe it will be 15 minutes, maybe 30, but stick to whatever you decide and leave after your time limit


Accident proneness
Guilt or shame can make us unconsciously seek punishment, or wish to prove we are not as good as everyone thinks, or we ought to be punished for doing well if a loved one is a failure. This can manifest in physical as injury-causing accidents that often occur just before our performance is to be judged or tested (fear of failure/success). Injuries are a way to show we are in pain and distress and in need of nurturing or sympathetic attention. See bruises

Change the pattern
Build stable self-esteem to enable expression of our emotional needs in a mature way


Acetylcholine (neurotransmitter)
Issues that can arise
Deficiency
Denial our actions have played any role in our negative or painful life experiences. See associated conditions: Alzheimer's disease, dementia, myasthenia gravis. See blame, self-righteousness, victim, What is acetylcholine?

Excess
Unsure as to what, if anything, we want to bring into our reality. See associated conditions: headaches, hives, insomnia. See despair, fear of failure or of success


Achenbach syndrome (Paroxysmal finger hematoma)
Fear of having to stand up for self and having an unsuccessful outcome (fear of confrontation). See genetic inheritance, legacy family pattern


Acne
Too much friction in our emotional environment and not knowing what to do about it. Chronic feelings of embarrassment, guilt, perfectionism, shame

Change the pattern
Next time you break out, try to recall what was happening for you during the previous three or four days. Look for anything that might have upset you emotionally. Maybe there was an argument, maybe someone suffered an accident or got sick, maybe something happened at work, etc.

Unless you were personally responsible for whatever it was, resist the temptation to blame yourself, and most importantly, do not accept blame from anyone else. If you were responsible, then you can take steps to make changes. Building stable self-esteem will help your skin to clear up faster and, gradually, the length of time between breakouts will get longer and severity will decrease


Acne excoriée (Acne excorie, Pickers acne)
See acne, obsessive/compulsive behaviours, skin-picking disorder


Actinic keratosis
Old emotional injuries we thought long-forgotten bubble to the surface of consciousness, triggered by incidents that make us feel as we did when we were young and defenseless


Acute adrenal failure (Addisonian crisis)
Can occur upon learning a cherished belief system is false


Acute bacterial prostatitis
Sudden and severe self-criticism over an action taken or not taken within the previous day or two, such that it manifests in physical


Acute compartment syndrome
Results from a physical injury that follows a traumatic event we have ignored or minimized. See Why do we get sick / suffer injuries / have accidents?


Acute gastritis
Look to recent events for something that was shocking or sickening, that triggered an extreme emotional response in us, even if we did not say anything out loud


Acute myeloid leukemia
Sudden suspicion our childhood fear of God’s wrath and/or retribution is true. While ultimately in the hands of the Universal Intelligence, justice is always tempered with forgiveness and mercy. See birth abnormalities, karma


Acute pancreatitis
Occurs within two or three days of receiving a devastating blow to our ego, like someone criticising us or suddenly withholding their approval for no apparent reason


Acute sore throat (cobblestone throat, pharyngitis)
Wanting someone who is always too busy, too important to listen to us, to really pay attention to us - for a change. Their needs always seem to be more important than ours. See Sore throat (Pharyngitis)


ADD / ADHD
Means literally being unable to hold our focus for any longer than a few seconds, and it means literally we received too little or too much attention as a child. Hyperactivity is a physical response to a desperate need to get - or avoid - focused attention

Looks like
Habitually over-reacting to life experiences as an excuse to ensure we receive lots of attention. Attempts by others to soothe us are like an addictive balm, but the risk is they will eventually tire of soothing us. If we do not get the desired response (favourable attention), our agitation can increase to the point of tears or even temper tantrums disguised as a fear response, in the hopes they will give up and comfort us. Even if that 'comfort' comes in a negative form like yelling or shaming, it is preferable to going without attention

Spiritual effects
Can manifest as a chronic need for validation from others. See co-dependent relationships, self-esteem

Physical effects
Ear and hearing issues, eye and vision issues, comprehension and memory problems

Change the pattern
Work on building a relationship with your inner child. By paying better attention to our needs, we find it easier to pay better attention in daily life. Doing these things gives us something meaningful on which to focus... our happiness. The more we meet our needs, the easier it becomes to maintain focus - an extra benefit!


Addiction to pain
If unable to express our emotional needs, telling others we have physical pain is one way to get some much-needed attention. This can be addictive


Addictions
Result from a spiritual desire to avoid pain or run away from truth, from responsibilities, from our thoughts and emotions, and even from life. Can be to a chemical substance (also called Substance abuse disorder or Substance abuse dependence) like food, tobacco, drugs or alcohol, or to any behaviour (like gambling, shopping, overusing a cellphone or personal device, etc.). See abandonment, obsessive/compulsive behaviours.

Spiritual symptoms of addictions vary from telling constant stories about how everybody has 'done me wrong' (victim pattern) to pathological lying, to using guilt trips to manipulate others, to avoiding making decisions (see hoarding).

We think we are sustained by our addictions, but truly, our addictions are sustained by us, by our thoughts.

Change the pattern
See 'Break' the habit


Addison's disease
Can occur if we habitually play victim whenever someone tries to hold us accountable for our words or actions. The alternative, accepting responsibility, is out of the question since we believe doing so would be devastating


Adenocarcinoma
Withholding spiritual nourishment from self (joy, contentment, optimism, pleasure) because after all, we really do not deserve to be happy... we should suffer

Spiritual risk factors
Feeling like a martyr and/or victim, and wishing someone would, just for once, finally give us their undivided, loving attention, yet unwilling to give that to others. See blame, guilt, shame

Physical risk factors
See addiction, obsessive compulsive disorder

Change the pattern
While changing our physical diet can be challenging enough, changing our spiritual diet requires even more effort. Undertake a spiritual self-care routine including practices like meditation, forgiveness, and spiritual decluttering


Adenoiditis
Feeling unwelcome, uninvited and surrounded by negativity


Adenoids
Represent our ability to protect our self-esteem from being harmed by others’ negative opinions about us. See Immune system

Issues that can arise

Lack of sense of taste represents inability or unwillingness to discern the dangers our negative thoughts pose to our physical health, making us less able to protect ourselves. See COVID-19, Sense of taste


Aggressive anxiety disorder
Pattern of lashing out at others either physically or verbally when feeling unable to control a situation. See intermittent explosive disorder, stress


Aggressive/passive behaviour
Obnoxious behaviour designed to force others into submission. This childish, abusive pattern results from growing up in an extremely controlled household or an environment without boundaries. The aggressive phase can manifest as shouting orders, criticisms or guilt trips, throwing temper tantrums, threatening physical or financial assault, or abandonment. When the victim submits and becomes obedient and docile, the passive phase then begins. The aggressor shows mercy by showering the victim with affection, warmth and praise, giving gifts or rewards and generally being sweet and attentive... until the next time. The passive phase lures the victim into a false sense of security, and can even create a guilty feeling for ever having doubted the aggressor

Spiritual effects
Pathological lying, greed, self-righteousness, distrust

Physical effects
High blood pressure, dental problems (can result in total tooth loss), laziness or hoarding

Change the pattern
If this behaviour is an issue for you, either as aggressor or victim, visit Section 2 to start changing your life

Can occur in the presence of utter despair or deep shame, or where there is a complete lack of self-esteem or sense of self-worth. Can occur if we have been deprived of approval from our caregivers and/or loved ones. Can occur when we are the victim of someone's selfish lack of regard for others. See genital herpes, HIV, sexually transmitted diseases (STD's), tuberculosis

Issues that can arise
Brain freeze (spiritual)

Change the pattern
Meditate to learn the source of our inability to speak truth and/or stand up to people. See Self-esteem


Alzheimer’s disease
Chronic self-deception. Habitually denying we played any role in our negative experiences, yet feeling guilt over choices we made that we know had devastating consequences, and/or a strong desire to make everyone believe we are innocent. In other words, wanting to live in a fairy tale and escape being held responsible (see fear of retribution). The underlying guilt and shame can create a victim mentality and a constant need to blame. See dementia


Ambiguous genitalia
Can occur as a life lesson for those who may have - in a previous existence - made less-than-considerate choices for someone in their care who was fully dependent. See birth abnormalities, What is karma?

Deep and possibly unrecognized fear of any or all of the following: being an adult with responsibilities, being a female adult, attracting sexual attention, becoming pregnant, giving birth, becoming a parent


Amniotic fluid
Represents protection. Too much, or too little, amniotic fluid reflects the mother’s ability or willingness to provide the child with balanced care and protection. For example, too much amniotic fluid represents a tendency to be over-protective, while too little represents a tendency to be inattentive. Can also indicate both the incoming soul and the family require certain experiences for their learning. See birth abnormalities including genetic disorders, breech position, legacy family patterns


Amputation
Whether accidental or surgical, amputation is a physical manifestation of our failure to acknowledge the part we played in a traumatic or tragic life experience. See blame, denial, martyrdom, self-righteousness, victim. If amputation was accidental, see accident proneness. If amputation was surgical, see contributing physical condition(s). .

Amygdala hijack
Unable or unwilling to accept responsibility for our actions when we feel strong emotions, and habitually using them as an excuse to behave irresponsibly

Change the pattern
Meditate and do the Self-esteem exercise


Amyloidosis
Feeling like a prisoner in our life situation. See victim

See associated conditions
Enlarged tongue
Rheumatoid arthritis
Tuberculosis


Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, adult-onset (ALS)
Denying our chronic, desperate need to avoid discussing painful issues or sensitive subjects, yet yearning to bring them out into the open. The issue here is fighting with self over whether to discuss something that is important to us or keep it hidden. Of course we all have reasons for wanting to avoid discussing some subjects; often it is because we think others will react poorly when we raise topics they themselves wish to avoid.

This not knowing which topics are safe to discuss - the indecision - creates a push-pull effect on the body. Nerves and muscles are unconsciously tightened and relaxed at a furious pace, creating unimaginable strain on the systems, causing damage at cellular level. The body is eventually unable to cope and ALS results.

Not everyone with this issue develops ALS (see Primary Lateral Sclerosis). For those with ALS, the behaviour is severe, chronic and long-standing. It is not just one topic that is avoided - the indecision manifests in all choices of topics to share or avoid discussing. Those that are discussed meeting with negative responses or reactions cause us to judge, criticise and condemn self for making trouble. Those kept hidden remain in the thoughts creating further damage.

The challenge is to change the pattern by sharing and discussing what is important to us and keeping hidden that which we do not yet wish to disclose, in the knowledge we cannot control how others react. Their reactions are just that - their reactions

If inherited
See birth abnormalities, legacy family pattern and What is karma?


Anal fissure
Blaming someone for pressuring us to hurry up and perform but not seeing the pressure - the stress - comes from our own need to win their approval


Anaphylaxis
Frustration with feeling it is unsafe to share our true thoughts about the current troubling situation. See Allergens, Angioedema


Andropause
Major physical life change that can create challenges to our self-esteem. Can show how well or poorly we adapt to change.

Meditating to understand the spiritual component of the physical issues arising can reduce frequency and duration of symptoms


Anemia
Giving up. Feeling powerless and angry everyone else seems to have so much power. See blame, victim

See type
Sickle cell anemia, Thalassemia


Anendophasia
Does having this condition mean one has no spiritual guide/angel/teacher? Not at all. Each soul in human form is accompanied by a divine representative. The guides communicate with us in whatever way best suits our unique learning abilities, and are not limited by human physical conditions. Check out this SciTech article "Anendophasia: Scientists uncover the weird cognitive impact of life without an inner voice"

Temporary


Anosognosia
Unlike denial, where we know we have a personal or medical issue but refuse to acknowledge it, this condition prevents us from being able to recognize we have a medical issue. See stroke, traumatic brain injury

Arm pain
Unable or unwilling to carry the load

Atopic dermatitis
Flaring antagonism but believing a fight would be pointless, unwinnable. Thinking like a victim

Auditory nerve damage
“Leave me alone”. See abandonment, avoidance, cold shoulder, isolation


Autism spectrum disorder
Beyond the physical aspect of this complex disorder, there are many spiritual components to be considered. Family history and behavioural patterns must be examined, along with the spiritual learning requirements of the family unit and those of the affected individual. Spiritual success is measured by the degree to which love manifests. See birth abnormalities, karma, reincarnation


Autoimmune diseases
Holding self to excessively high standards (perfectionism), but wondering why since no one else does, and using this as an excuse to harshly criticise others. Includes vicious self-condemnation for the tiniest infraction of those standards. Diseases can also arise if we have no way to know whether to expect cruelty or kindness from those around us, and our system can over-compensate with self-protection - just in case we are attacked

Breast cancer
There are more than 80 types of breast cancer, hence the many possible spiritual components. Can be any or all of the following factors: Taking on a persona we feel was thrust upon us by others or by negative life experiences. Belief how we treat self and others is nurturing, when it is not. Feeling unloved or unlovable. Nursing grudges (resentment). Needing to mother or be mothered. Feeling unloved or unlovable. Living with the constant threat of someone's emotional abuse, feeling responsible for it when it happens, and feeling unable to stand up for self. Appreciating self for saying, "No" to an abuser, yet still wanting the abuser to somehow magically change into a good person (control). Longing to be loved and appreciated, craving everyone's positive attention

Change the pattern

Breast pain
Aching to nurture or to be nurtured. Fear of being alone and having to fend for self. Signal trouble may be brewing within the family


Breast size
Although not a problem as such, breast size creates much turmoil for our lives no matter our gender. The most important consideration in breast size (or any part of the physical body) is our thought patterns. Some people with breasts sized larger than their frame might suggest can be either very nurturing or kind, or very cold and cruel.

The opposite also holds true, some with smaller breasts than their frame might suggest can be among the kindest, most nurturing - or coldest, cruelest - people. If someone has smaller breasts and gains a substantial amount of weight, their breasts might get bigger, but that would not necessarily mean their thought patterns had changed.

Likewise, someone with larger breasts might have reduction surgery, and their thought patterns may or may not have changed at all. But the breasts do represent nurturing and kindness, so if problems arise, the place to start looking for the spiritual component of the issue would be our nurturing and kindness, either need for, lack thereof, or provision of.

Do we receive enough nurturing? Are we kind to others? Do we feel worthy of receiving kindness or nurturing? Do we provide others with care and consideration?

Depression
Rather than being a constant state, depression tends to be more like waves on the ocean. Just as we are recovering from a bout, a new experience can trigger another episode. Depression can become a reflex reaction to a specific experience, like making a mistake (whether anyone else knows about it), disappointing someone, or someone saying "no" to us. Until the root cause is recognized and dealt with, the condition can only be managed.

Depression is based in our self-worth and self-esteem. A wave of depression can occur if we feel we have lost the approval of someone very important to us. If our sense of self is completely wrapped up in that individual, as can happen when living or working in co-dependent relationships, we feel we will lose our identity without their approval. We will do almost anything to cope with our sense of loss and deprivation. Usually this means doing any number of negative behaviours in the hope of getting that person to help us recover and buy back into the relationship. Then, we tell ourselves, everything will be ok again.

And it will be, for a little while. Until, almost from out of the blue, another experience will trigger another wave of self-hatred. Then we are right back where we started … punishing and hurting self ... going on a binge of alcohol or drug usage, starving ourselves or overeating / purging, withholding communication, shopping for things we do not need with money we do not have, cutting ourselves until we bleed, contemplating or attempting suicide, stopping doing the things we truly love to do … oh, the list is endless.

There is another way to live, but it means changing how we relate to others, and more importantly, how we relate to ourselves. It means becoming aware of - and changing - our thoughts, attitudes, emotions, beliefs and desires. If depression is hurting your quality of life, see choose a pattern

Fear of abandonment that has manifested into the family's genetic makeup. Issues arising from the syndrome can be lessened by believing we are worthy of love and support, and by working to eliminate abandonment patterns in our life. See birth abnormalities

The pattern of abandonment can take many forms and here are a few (in no particular order). Look for these in your family:
  • Giving up easily if difficulties are encountered when doing a task
  • Substance use disorder when faced with difficult choices
  • Disappearing for a period of time:
    • after family disagreements or blow-ups
    • after experiencing a failure or making a mistake
You may already be aware of these behaviours in your family members. Recognizing them within yourself will enable you to see them for what they are... behaviours in your ancestry you have inherited. This is where the work of change begins. Changing the way you respond to trying situations changes your spiritual outlook, and gives you the power to change your life.

Grandma kept a beautiful flower garden that completely filled her front yard. Flowers bloomed from spring through autumn, and the air was filled with heavenly scents from spring through fall.

When Grandma passed away, my friend was not allowed to attend her funeral, and he was ridiculed for showing his grief. He learned to suppress it, to the point that any flowery aroma - anywhere - would trigger his grief and his hay fever symptoms.

Not only was he suppressing his sadness and grief though; his anger toward his parents and siblings for ridiculing his grief prevented him from learning to deal with his emotions in a productive way. By recognizing this, he could begin the process of healing.

Help-rejecting complainer
Living from one catastrophe or heartache to the next and, although seeming to want help to change their seemingly dire situation, resisting any suggestions that could help. They say things like "I've tried that already." "That won't work for me because..." "Nothing ever works right for me." Exasperating for us, but even more so for them.

The spiritual component is being stuck in a feedback loop of craving sympathetic attention and recognition for all of their suffering, but needing to keep on suffering to justify their compulsion. See blame, victim

I don't feel like it syndrome
When given an opportunity to do something helpful or productive, we often use the old excuse of, "I don’t feel like it." What we are really saying is, “No”. It is all about power and control, and doing as we have been asked can be seen as a sign of weakness. Saying “I don't feel like it” is the polite way of keeping control and feeling strong.

The challenge is to do as asked, even though we may not want to. Instead of telling ourselves we are already doing enough, make that extra effort. Be prepared to work though, because once we get started, our mindset usually changes and enthusiasm sets in. Note: This pattern is not a manifestation of laziness


Iatrogenic CJD
Contracted via medical or dental procedures. Belief medicine alone is capable of, and is responsible for, repairing any bodily damage


Ichthyosis vulgaris
Family pattern of keeping negative family information secret, a 'veil of secrecy' if you will, and discouraging communication about anything even remotely connected with it. Children in the family may not know exactly what the secret(s) is (or are), but the condition can be triggered when they begin to understand the meaning of dishonesty, or if they happen to discover the secret. Keeping family secrets can lead to unwitting shame and unstable self-esteem, along with obsessive/compulsive perfectionism

Meditate to learn the contributing thought patterns. Build a pattern of forgiveness of self for past words spoken or unspoken and deeds done or not done


Infantile hemangioma
Birthmarks represent unresolved issue(s) from prior lifetimes, or from legacy family patterns in their current family. With this condition, the unresolved issue(s) may arise from the way in which the soul left a prior incarnation, possibly through a violent injury, whether inflicted by self or another, whether accidentally or intentionally. It would be beneficial to be patient and tolerant with the child, teaching by example rather than, "Do as I say and not as I do". See birthmarks


Infection (Bacterial versus Viral infections)
Frustration our desires are always being denied and belief they will never be met. See victim

Sounds like
"I never get what I want" or "When is it going to be my turn?"

Bacterial versus Viral infection
The difference between bacterial and viral infections is that some bacterial infections can occur spontaneously. In such a case, the spiritual component is purely from within self, that is, from our thoughts, and requires no input from the environment to manifest in physical.

Communicable infections, whether bacterial or viral, are spread by contact with infected people or animals, or contaminated surfaces, air, food or water. With these, the spiritual component arises from within self but the infection requires input from the environment to manifest in physical

Medical or dental procedures including surgery
If the procedure is elective (medically unnecessary)
When deciding whether to undergo a procedure such as plastic surgery, it is important to fully consider your reasons for wanting it done, as well as possible unwanted after-effects or harms. Weigh all this information carefully and decide whether the benefits outweigh the risks before going ahead. Before deciding to go ahead with a procedure aiming only to win the approval of others, check out self-esteem

If the procedure is required to repair damage or relieve a condition
Do all you can to support yourself before the procedure. Take time to review your daily habits, and if needed, start to make small but important lifestyle changes. Eating well, getting appropriate sleep and exercise, practicing meditation and mindfulness, journalizing... doing all of these will help to build a habit of considering your basic needs

How to gain the best possible results
During the days, weeks or months before the procedure, aim to take five or so minutes each day to:Taking these steps will elevate your endorphins and prepare your body to accept healing. Then just before the procedure, mindfully repeat the above steps saying, "I'm in good hands" as it begins


Melasma
Fear our deepest, darkest secrets will be revealed


Memory
Energetic representations of our life experiences and our reactions to them. Memory is an elusive creature; however, here is a brief explanation of its workings from a spiritual viewpoint.

An individual has an experience. A personal memory is created in the brain via the firing of neurons. The memory contains every single detail of the experience, including informational input from the experience itself (who, when, where, why, what, how) and sensory input from the physical organs (sight, smell, sound, taste, touch and thought).

Each of the neurons consists of not only a personal, physical memory, but a spiritual or "quantum" memory. The personal memory is stored in the brain, while the quantum memory is stored in the akashic or soul record. Upon physical death of the individual, the life experience is reviewed and the soul is prepared for its next incarnation. The records may be accessed during an incarnation as well as during intervals between incarnations, to review a soul's spiritual progress

Menometrorrhagia
Results from a legacy family pattern of cyclic, albeit unpredictable, emotional or physical violence toward the family’s female members or its children. See nose bleeds


Menopause
This major physical life change can create challenges to maintain our sense of self. Can show us how well (or not) we adapt to change. Can help us better understand the challenges facing adolescents as they experience puberty (see compassion). Like the flu and the menstrual cycle, menopause is often used as an excuse when we need a rest and yet feels unable or unwilling to speak up for self. It is also used as an excuse to under-perform or to be 'bitchy'.

Those who have severe problems with menopause may have a victim or martyr mentality. Pain or discomfort can be reduced, or even completely eliminated, by just saying "No" without guilt. The uncomfortable effects of hot flashes can be reduced by paying attention to our critical or condemning thoughts. The uncomfortable effects of frequent urination can be reduced by increasing patience decreasing worry and (see Section 9, How to stop worrying)


Menorrhagia
Results from a legacy family pattern of cyclic emotional and/or physical abuse toward the family’s female members or its children. This creates an unrecognized belief life as a woman is all about suffering, with the body cooperating with our expectation. See premenstrual dysphoric disorder


Menstrual cycle
Signifies the start of a new cycle, a new way of life, or a new opportunity. Can represent recognition of our limitations, or of a pattern of fighting any change suggested by others (see defiance), refusing to go with the flow, or arguing just for the sake of being disagreeable. The cycle can be a guaranteed week or two every month when we can blame o our body instead of admitting we have needs. Like the flu and menopause, this process is often used as an excuse to under-perform or to be mean.

Those who have painful cycles may have a victim or a martyr mentality. Such pain, discomfort and other effects can be reduced, or even eliminated, by not allowing self the luxury of using this as an excuse. After all, the Universal Intelligence cooperates with our desires. Some lie and say they have painful cycles even if they do not; this can arise from a desire to play on the sympathies of others, or to escape responsibilities.

Midlife crisis
Feeling stuck and knowing we cannot go on any longer as we have, and feeling a desperate need to do something, anything, to relieve the craving for change. So we try a new job, or mate, or home, or car, or whatever, but quickly find nothing helps. The wise realize the solution is not out there, it is within ourselves... we need to change ourselves.

The craving can arise from having carried emotional and spiritual burdens for many years. The thought of carrying them for another few decades is too much to bear. The solution? Check out Spiritual decluttering

Misophonia
Loathing our personal environment and furious no one understands or sympathises with our painful dilemma. Our constant fury toward the idiots around us, plus feeling impotent to smarten them up, makes us feel these people will irritate us forever - we will never be rid of them. This constant stress lowers our vibrational frequency a and creates so much tension certain sounds actually seem to hurt us physically

Missing or removed teeth
Can show a big change has happened or is about to happen. Can result from not dealing with our issue(s) in a positive way. For example, if we feel trapped in life and do nothing to change the situation, the likelihood of losing a tooth (or teeth) increases with each passing year, either through accident (breakage), gum disease or decay. Can also result from not caring for self enough to seek help when in pain and distress

Money problems
Represent inability or unwillingness to protect self and our property

Related to a lack of self-worth and/or self-approval. Such beliefs can result from family behavioural patterns, which in effect say to the Universe, "I am not worthy to live in comfort" or "I deserve to suffer" or "I am a horrible person". These beliefs can be related to chronic guilt or shame, or feeling like a victim. Gaining money does not resolve the pattern unless the underlying thought patterns are recognized and resolved. If they are not, having money can actually create other self-destructive behaviours like addictions, eating disorders, hoarding

Multiple myeloma
Unacknowledged or unrecognized guilt, shame, blame and grief from our early childhood over something we did (or did not do), prevent us from being able to accept all the good life has to offer.

Multiple personality disorder (Dissociative Identity Disorder)
What it is not
It is not other souls inhabiting our mind or body

What it is:
  • Behaviour done out of a profound need to protect self from the actions and/or opinions of others
  • Fear of revealing our true nature, and protecting self by hiding within various acting roles
  • Desire to "keep them guessing". The benefits are multiple: Gives us a sense of always being in control, because since only "I" know the secret, others can never be sure with whom they are dealing. If someone expresses displeasure with us, we can tell ourselves it does not really matter because it was not really us they condemned

Denying our chronic, desperate need to avoid discussing painful issues or sensitive subjects, yet yearning to bring them out into the open. The issue here is fighting with self over whether to discuss something important to us or keep it hidden.

Of course we all have reasons for wanting to avoid discussing some subjects; often it is because we think others will react poorly when we raise topics they themselves wish to avoid.

This not knowing which topics are safe to discuss - the indecision - creates a push-pull effect on the body. Nerves and muscles are unconsciously tightened and relaxed at a furious pace, creating unimaginable strain on the systems. Coming to peace with self-expression can ease symptoms and potentially avoid the condition becoming Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

Check out Why are there side effects from medications?

Suicide ideation
Often thought to arise only from grief or desperation, suicide ideation can also be a form of abandonment or an act of sacrifice

Contributing factors
  • One's partner in a co-dependent relationship breaks free, either through choice or by passing away. The survivor really cannot see life is possible without the partner and feels hopeless
  • One recognizes having made a supposedly unforgivable choice
  • One causes, or suffers, a devastating loss or profound trauma and feels recovery to an adequate level of functioning is not possible

Suicide-related communication can be a form of control or spite and manipulation.

There are many forms of potentially lethal self-harm, but they all have one thing in common: the individual loses any opportunity to change her or his life experience if the self-inflicted harm results in death. Non-fatal self-harm may result in physical or mental challenges requiring incredible effort to overcome, and the opportunity for profound spiritual advancement then exists.

Source sees the universal truth of all of the circumstances that helped to create the suicide ideation for the individual, and it is Source who decides when it is time for an individual to come Home. The individual is never judged, criticised or condemned but is simply loved, unconditionally

List of suicide crisis lines


Sunburn, Sun damage (Poikiloderma of Civatte)
A pattern of being unable or unwilling to protect self may result from a couple of factors:
  • Belief “God will protect me”. Since we are spiritual beings in physical bodies, we are subject to physical laws. To expect the universe to bend the laws for us is folly.
  • Setting aside our needs in order to meet everyone else's needs, while perhaps well-intentioned, ignores the fact we risk becoming unable to help anyone at all if we become ill or injured. Then what good is done? As they say, put on your own oxygen mask before helping anyone else with theirs. See self-esteem

See type
Pressure ulcers (or bedsores)
Skin ulcer

Umbilical cord accidents
Such events are not sent from the Universe to punish anyone. They are accidents resulting from physical laws and their very real consequences. They are not a fault on the mother's or the fetus's part, but rather the incoming soul's learning requirements about the physical laws and their results, whether positive or negative. Should the baby survive birth, health conditions may arise. These can include karmic learning experiences not only for the child but the entire family. The same holds true for mother and family should the baby not survive.

Umbilical cord compression
If compression occurs before labour begins, fetal demise can occur. If compression occurs after labour begins, medical intervention may prevent fetal demise but both mother and child are likely to experience trauma. As with all life experiences, it is how each responds to their particular trauma (or life lesson) that contributes, for better or worse, to their spiritual development

Umbilical cord prolapse

Visual snow syndrome
Can result from a recent (within a week or two before onset) emotionally traumatic event, and being unable or unwilling to acknowledge or understand the part we played in its occurrence.

Note: Just as we are spiritual beings and subject to spiritual laws, so we are physical beings and subject to physical laws. Failing to care for our physical body places us at risk of injury or illness - after all, we bathe, brush our teeth, wash our clothing, clean our home and refrigerate our food, right? Why then would we risk catching or spreading an infectious disease by refusing to mask up or socially distance or vaccinate, based on a belief our faith in God protects us?

Our choices have consequences, and such diseases provide us the opportunity to see free will in action in real time: if we know we are infected and choose to ignore social distancing and self-isolation best practices, we could cause the illness, suffering and even death of others. Such a choice can arise from a desire for revenge or to defy authority figures
