Work may be loved, but when the need for rest is neglected, a cyst may result.
Dr. Northrup.
Our bodies are talking to us constantly, trying to bring our focus to the areas that need healing. When we disregard, or neglect our body’s cry for attention, we force it to use a louder signal through symptoms that are hard to ignore, like chronic pain, and emotional distress.
I am guilty as charged!
Every time I’m in the middle of a project I promise myself I will take a break before I commit to a new one, but that hardly ever happens. I get so excited with new ideas that I just keep on going non-stop, even handling not one but two or three projects at a time.
This weekend I couldn’t neglect my body’s cry for help any longer. Long story short, I’ve been in bed for two days now with excruciating pain caused by what I believe to be an ovarian cyst. Knowing the correlation between emotions and dis-ease, I went to research the emotions behind ovarian cysts, and here are some of my findings:
As we know, there is a correlation between our emotions and disease. Unidentified and unresolved emotions are dis-eases in incubation.
Dr. Northrup says that ovarian cysts and ovarian cancer are related to our creative power in the world. Ovaries are our seat of power, creation and creativity. When we are addicted to external authority or approval, an energy dysfunction can occur.
This dis-ease blocks us from moving forward. This can happen secondary to financial, physical, or emotional abandonment.
When our ovaries need to get our attention, they can change very quickly. A large ovarian cyst can grow in a matter of days when we feel controlled or criticized by others or when we control and criticize others.
Energy blockages that create ovarian cysts can also result from stress, which might not be negative. It could be that a woman has a job she loves but is consumed by, leading to neglect of the need to rest. A cyst can result.
The following approaches are recommended to overcome ovarian cyst pain:
- Acupressure
- Affirmations
- Crying
- Diet
- Exercise
- Herbs
- Health Care Practitioner of Choice
- Reflexology
- Reiki
Until I see my chiropractor/homeopath tomorrow, I will be integrating acupressure, affirmations, diet, crying (already done a lot of this), resting, and of course Reiki.
Acupressure/Reflexology
Massage the ovary reflex point shown on picture to strengthen the adrenals and restore the body to its natural rhythms of sleep, activity and rest.
Affirmation
When I think about the emotional/disease relationship and affirmations, Louise Hay is the first resource I think about. Louise Hay states that cysts are caused by running an old painful movie in the mind. Nursing hurts. A false growth. The affirmation she suggests for this issue is:
“The movies of my mind are beautiful because I choose to make them so. I love me.”
According to Louise Hay, issues with ovaries, represent points of creation and creativity. The corresponding affirmation is,
I am balanced in my creative flow.
Reiki
I’ve received a full Reiki treatment from my husband, and I’m doing short self-treatments, integrating the affirmations stated above during the session.
Crying
Unresolved issues from the past with high emotions still affect your body today. Give yourself permission to grieve and let go. Cry about whatever has created this block in your ovary, bless it and release it.
I know this is not the first time I’m forced to slow down to take care of my physical needs, but this time I will make sure I start scheduling more time off, to simply relax, release, and refuel, and I encourage you to do the same! I can do it now that I finished this project, lol!
