Spiritually, your back is your support for life.
Spiritually, your back gives you strength. It honors you. Your spine contains your central system and your central blood supply. You register every experience, feeling, impression, and thought in your spine.
Your lower back holds financial support and your core beliefs.
Your middle back supports your move forward in life as you release the past. Your middle back holds love.
Your upper back deals with your emotional support of others and self. It deals with guilt, shame, fear, anger, resentment.
Back aches are spiritual events. What may offer relief for one person may not work for another. In spite of all the modern, 21st century techniques, cures, and therapies available for back injuries and health injuries, you may respond positively to reflexology, Reiki therapy, and Chakra healing.
Lifestyle changes will help if you discover physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual causes of your discomfort. When that happens, you can make adjustments to get rid of the pain. Then, you can figure out what you need to do to keep the pain and discomfort from returning.
These changes may include things like developing a posture encouraging spinal alignment. You may learn specific exercises offering you relief.
Several times throughout your day, talk to your back. Is it in pain? Does stretching help? Are your shoulders scrunched up against your neck?
As time passes, you’ll find you are learning the language of your spine. Once you learn this, you can listen to what your spine says to you and follow its instructions.
To avoid back pain, respect your spine and don’t overwork it. The three basic rules of respect include proper lifting techniques, exercises to build strong back muscles, and proper fitting low heeled shoes. Following these three guidelines, you’ll prevent accidents and reduce spinal alignment stress.
When you consult with a physician about your back pain, select a person who gives you confidence. If you seek a massage therapist, acupuncturist, physical therapist, schedule your appointments so they’re 24 to 48 hours of one another to take advantage of synchronicity.
Yoga helps. I’m fortunate that there are many yoga teachers in my area. Through the years, I’ve found two teachers who know about spinal health and focus their classes on this specialty. Carolyn Abedor teaches Iyengar Yoga when she focuses on therapeutic spine health. Kathy Karey teaches yoga and focuses on repairing injured spines.
Massage and physical therapy are beneficial for chronic pain. Chiropractors work to improve your condition without adding more strain to the spine.
If you don’t know a yoga teacher, massage therapist, chiropractor or physical therapist, this is a good time to look for one.

Lower back pain focuses on the first chakra. Middle back issues focus on second and third chakras. Your upper back deals with fourth and fifth chakras.

Foot Pain is Definitely a Valid Reason to Visit a Reflexology for the Spirit Practitioner
Providing relief to tired, itchy, painful feet can significantly help your clients. Often, temporary pain can be dealt with quickly.
Other times, there is persistent, chronic pain eventually proving itself to have spiritual origins. To determine whether a foot pain is a spiritual affliction, your client partner needs to visit a podiatrist for a diagnosis. Then you can proceed to deal with the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual problems afflicting the person.
How the spiritual affliction affects your client depends on
what part of the foot is in pain.
For example, if your client has pain in the area of the heart (metatarsal area), look for a problem with a relationship or the ability to give and receive love.
If the pain is in the heel, you’re looking at an issue dealing with basic survival as it relates to the community and you are also looking at core values.
On a more general level, consider that the person is having trouble moving forward in life. Sometimes it’s important to give some things up in order to get to a new place. Many people have trouble with the “giving up” part. Sometimes they have such problems with “giving up” that they never get to a new place. Other times, they suffer great pain but, in the end, manage to move forward.
In some instances, foot pain may be indicative of another disease or health problem. For example, people suffering with flu may have very sore feet. Also, people with extreme mental or emotional issues may have feet that are too sore to touch. When you encounter this situation, be sure to include Reiki therapy and change your approach to hand or ear reflexology.
SYSTEMS TO WORK: Until you determine that there are underlying physical issues, work the nervous system, skeletal system, muscular system, endocrine system, digestive system, liver and solar plexus.
ESSENTIAL OILS: peppermint, white fir, lavender, patchouli, myrrh, frankincense, sandalwood, and vetiver.
