I have had a periodic strange sensation in my lower left back for…umm…a few years probably. It’s not a pain. I can only describe it as feeling “fuzzy”, and tingly. I picture it like this photo. It happens periodically. It’s weird and no one has had any ideas about what it could be. I can’t figure it out. I just notice it with curiosity when it pops up and mostly ignore it.
Lately I’ve been thinking about it at an energetic level. I’ve been noticing what’s going on when it fuzzes up - is it sign for me to pay attention to something? I found a year or so ago that when my ear rings it’s my Guides telling me they have a message for me. So I stop and ask “what’s the message?” and I get a clear message. I tried that with my back fuzz but it doesn’t seem to be the case here.
Since learning the Pranic Healing modality this fall, I have realized that it might have something to do with my back spleen chakra. This chakra plays a vital role in physical well-being and life-force energy, among other functions. People can unknowingly energetically plug into it to get energy and vitality from you.
I’ve also been studying alot about unprocessed and stored emotions and how those affect the body.
This morning in meditation I heard my Guides say they had a message for me. I wasn’t really looking for a message and I wanted to get to work. But I have learned to listen when I get these messages so I picked up one of The Grandmothers books*, opened it randomly, and here’s what I read:
Sharon, the author, was in meditation and communing with The Grandmothers. She explained “my back was inflamed and I squirmed as I lay there.” HER BACK!? Tell me more Sharon…
The Grandmothers explained to her: “Long ago, pieces of ‘gravel’ got stuck underneath the fabric of being inside you. An old state of consciousness is causing this sensation in your body. Pain has been stored in this spot for a long time and is now coming to the surface. Once upon a time you became so fascinated by the negative circumstances and events of your life that you became unable to release them.”
Sharon saw a pile of hot stones in her body at the site of the pain. As the Grandmothers began to remove them they said “carrying these inside you is not only painful, but these weights from long ago create the distraction of pain that prevents you from moving forward.”
Whoa. Ok. That felt like a pretty clear message that this fuzzy feeling is unreleased and stored circumstances/events/pain/emotions. I’ve been working on my “state of consciousness” and old belief systems that no longer serve me as I take my business to the next level. My fuzzy feeling could also be that. This passage in the book pulled it all together for me. Pranic Healing it is!
So what’s my point here? There are messages for us EVERYWHERE! When we notice patterns of information that we are coming across, it’s not by chance. People tell me I am so tuned in, but I’m no more tuned in than you are. I have just trained myself to get quiet and listen, and to pay attention to all of the signs around me. There are answers and support everywhere if we silence the noise and distractions and pay attention. It’s available to all of us.
If you’d like help silencing the noise, check out my December Alignment Course on my “Events” page. We’ll be practicing tools to get quiet and tune in. Also if you’re interested in Pranic Healing, let me know. I’m integrating this healing practice into my work.
Here’s to listening to our messages, our gut feelings, and noticing the patterns.
