We all are aware that mental stress and worries can manifest themselves in the body in the long run. Body and mind always form a unit. The body adapts, so to speak, to the permanent call of the mind so that a new oneness is re-established.

So, the body and mind are in alignment but in an unhealthy way. This made me ponder. I always thought being in alignment means “feeling good”. And only when all parts are on a “feeling-good” level you reach oneness. Then it hit me: I forgot the soul part that which I actually am. The nature of the soul is well-being. But it sounds so logical to me that body and mind form their own alliance. They listen to each other. The mind, as well as the body, belong to the physical part of our current existence. They hold on to each other because they understand each other. They communicate in the matter with each other. As mental negativity manifests in the related part of the body (like nervosity and stress can cause issues with the stomach), so can a physical issue affect the mental health (like if you are constantly in pain, you can become frustrated, depressive, fearful, aggressive).

Body and mind always make sure they are in alignment as a natural consequence. If we leave the soul part out, that alignment can become pretty unhealthy and unwitty. That is what causes most of our health problems. I don’t want to say all of them. Because it can be part of our life’s plan to develop a particular disease for developmental reasons. However, the soul is part of our physical concept down here – No life without the soul. We cannot see it. That’s why we forget about it. But sometimes we can feel and hear it, especially when we reach particular destinations in our life or when we feel a calling in us occurring from nowhere. There is no alignment if we leave the soul out.

Why am I talking about this? I have been dealing with back problems (in specific sciatica) for a few months. So far, nothing helped. Then I thought, why haven’t you checked the mental part? Maybe that can shed some light on where the physical issue originates. I remembered a book by Luise L. Hay. “Heal Your Body – The Mental Causes for Physical Illness and the Metaphysical Way to Overcome Them”. In that book you can find your physical alert and probable mental cause. Plus, it provides affirmations to shift your thought pattern, which in the further run, re-program the message toward the body.

So, I checked the book for “sciatica” and dropped my jaw. It says: “Fear of money and the future.” It is true! I have minimized my work time at my employed job to dedicate more time to my self-employment that is still in the process of being set up. So, my pension contribution is low. Also, when I look at our planet, I see so clearly that time is running out, but we don’t take measures to stop the insanity instantly. Instead, we are fighting other countries and making gaps only bigger instead of eliminating them. I had not thought that these worries got rooted in me so deeply. But if I am honest, they are. The book also provides a section, which is dedicated to the spine and every single vertebra. I checked the 4th lumbar vertebra, and my jaw dropped again: “Financial insecurity, fear for the career, feels helpless.” So, the two go along with each other well. I wondered what the lower back would be since I dealt with pain in that area from time to time throughout my life: Fear of money, Lack of support. Again! I remember, when we were a young family, I kept records of our income and expenditure. I stopped doing that after two years because I saw that we were on a good way. So, why did this still trigger my back? I checked “Spine” in general, and I think here it is: Flexible support for life.

My zodiac sign is Taurus. The difficulty here is: I am a head person, have to be in control, and my matter is in the physical. Money is also part of it, of course. I’m very security-oriented, and it takes me forever to take a step without having enough evidence that it will turn out well. But when I’m convinced and excited about something, I go full speed forward. My ascendant is Libra, which challenges me even more to make decisions. Although I have already given up many of these limitations, they are still not gone. Until I was in my mid-thirties, self-esteem was a word I had heard but never felt. So there was no flexible support for life coming from me. So the magic word is TRUST! If there is no trust, I create my own safety by thinking that otherwise, I am lost. And the fear of getting lost becomes omnipresent.

This is an example of how the mind affects the body when the soul is left out. I know what to work at now and put together my personal affirmation to change my thought pattern. I highly recommend the book “Heal Your Body”. It holds some very interesting insights that make you look at yourself closer. Too often, we are talking away who we don’t want to be while we still haven’t changed. Our bodies show the red flags where we neet to work in ourselves and that we may have forgotten to include the most important part of our beings into our lives: our soul – life itself.
