Lower Back Pain & What It's Trying To Tell You...

As a Massage Therapist a good portion of my clientele walk through my door for Lower Back Pain or Sciatic relief.
I always do my best to treat them on a physical level however there are a few emotional & energetic factors that may influence the regularity & severity of this condition ~ which could be worth addressing in conjunction with your chosen physical therapy such as Therapeutic Massage, for maximum healing benefit...

Renowned Mental / Emotional Healers such as Louise. L. Hay & Inna Segal  suggest that lower back pain stems from: feelings of insecurity & fear related to how you will support yourself financially. Feelings of victimization & struggle regarding your financial circumstances or security. As well as placing too much focus on what you can't do verses what you can to improve your situation or resolve your financial anxieties.

What You Can Do:
Use affirmations or new thought patterns such as"I trust the process of life. All i need is always taken care of. I am safe" or  "I am able and willing to support my self financially. I have all the resources i need to accomplish my goals. The Universe / God / Goddess supports my efforts in all ways" or
"i am moving towards a time when i am totally happy and fulfilled and life offers me everything i need for this journey".

Many Energetic Healers speak of lower back pain being associated with your "Sacral Chakra" which lies just below your belly button & governs your ability to manifest and create ~ be it business Ideas, Babies, Gardens, Creative Projects or Wealth.
When the Sacral Chakra is in balance we are able to enjoy life's pleasures free from fear and with joy. The Sacral leads us from basic existence to help us embrace that which makes life worth living....

The Sacral is also your emotional center. This means if you have a fear of poverty (which can be subconscious, say, if you grew up in a poor family or conscious, for example, if you lost a house due to hefty mortgage increases or loss of income). Or if you hold anxiety around "having enough & "Keeping up with the Jonses" these underlying emotional responses to security and wealth can trigger or exasperate lower back problems.
So if you are feeling stuck in your current situation, uninspired to create new solutions or dis-empowered to manifest new opportunities & circumstances ~ your Sacral Chakra may be out of balance and stunting the natural energy that would otherwise be available for you to transform this area of your life.
What you Can Do:
Seek out a "Healing Touch" Therapist (such as myself) who practices advanced Chakra Healing Techniques and Energetic Pain Management.
Use Colour Therapy ~ surround yourself with the colour orange to support the function of the Sacral Chakra.You can do this with clothing, accessories, flowers, candles & home decor additions.
Dance & listen to flowing bouncy or sensual music.
Eat tropical fruit, Orange foods & seed's - especially pumpkin seeds.
Use essential oils of Bergamot, Sweet Orange, Ylang Ylang, Mandarin or Sandalwood on your person or in an oil burner.
Wear or carry an orange gemstone such as Carnelian.

If any of these mental / emotional patterns relate to you personally then making a conscious effort to master your fears & anxieties pertaining to financial stability & addressing any energetic imbalances may help dramatically.
I suggest you do seek professionals in the field to help you along ~ There are many to chose from and they range from Counsellers, E.F.T practitioners, Homeopaths, Acupuncturist's, Energy Healers & Holistic Massage Therapists who Integrate Physical, Emotional & Energetic Healing Techniques for Whole Health ~ Like me...

Be Well,
Rachael :)
