I wrote a long post about arthritis early in this blog\/book.  This post will focus on the spiritual aspects of the diseases called Arthritis.<br \/>\nJoints are very important to us.  They enable us to move through life.  We move in many ways throughout the day:  walking, running, jumping, pushing, pulling, carrying.  Just think:  without our joints we could not hug one another.<br \/>\nAnd, of course, that&#8217;s what happens when we suffer with arthritis.  Arthritis reflects stiffness, rigidity, an inability to give.<br \/>\nFor my thinking, arthritis reflects anger and criticism.<br \/>\nJoint inflammation tells me the sufferer is conflicted, resistant, angry with life patterns and events.  The person is unable to do the things s\/he wants to do and is becoming angry and frustrated.<br \/>\nPersons with joint stiffness are unable to express themselves the way they need to.<br \/>\nWhen I think of inflammation, I think of the build-up of toxins.  So&#8230;when toxins build up in the joints, what are they exactly?  Joint toxins include anger, critical attitude, frustration, bitterness, resentment.<br \/>\nThis doesn&#8217;t mean you abandon efforts to cure these diseases.  What it DOES mean is that you do everything necessary to remain active and well.  You do everything possible to bring about homeostasis&#8230;including the return to a positive mental attitude.  So, while you are visiting the doctor, physical therapist, yoga class, reflexology for the spirit practitioner, you need to ask yourself questions which will help you return to your normal, positive self:<br \/>\nWhat in your life is making you angry?<br \/>\nIs your life out of control?  Who or what is controlling your life?<br \/>\nWhat can you do to make your life more receptive to positive influences?<br \/>\nWhat can you do to lessen the anger in your life?<br \/>\nIs forgiveness possible?<br \/>\nHave you lost direction or purpose in your life?<br \/>\nThanks for reading this post.
