Physical Pain - What is it Showing You?

I want to talk about pain. The physical pain that our bodies encounter. It is not something that I have encountered much recently, but I am currently working with addressing a physical pain that crept up on me.
Some of you may be aware that I have been suffering with a condition called plantar fasciitis. What is Plantar Fasciitis.
Plantar Fasciitis is a painful condition that occurs at the bottom of the foot. It occurs when the plantar fascia - a think band of tissue that runs along the bottom of your foot, connecting your heel to your toes - becomes irritated or inflamed. Very common amongst runners who may be running in old trainers or poor footwear, or just overuse, flat feet or tight calf muscles. As you may know, I am and have been a runner for many years now, although I have never experienced it before and I am very conscientious about the trainers that I wear. Due to the nature of my work, it has created the need to understand why I am experiencing this pain. I very strongly believe that the body is talking, and it is time to do further investigation.

My point for writing this post is to talk about beliefs that underlie a condition. Whether it is plantar, or any other physical pain. It is a sign that energy channels are blocked and need to be released. It is a buildup of suppressed beliefs and showing a resolution of a belief system is now required - a breakdown of the old ways and versions of you that you have outgrown.
Did you know that from a metaphysical and spiritual point of view, the left foot is related to ancestral mother's energy, and the right foot is related to the father's ancestral line?
When we understand this, we can start to dig further and undercover what beliefs or programming is running along those ancestral lines that may be causing discomfort.
Plantar particularly is about that need to always be on your feet, always doing and living isn’t living if you are not activating those adrenals. It can be a feeling of being trapped or unsupported. Therefore, always being in a state of doing and busy. All of this I can relate to, and I also see this within my own mother. Never really being able to sit quietly (this is something I have had to learn to do over the years), always busy doing. Being trapped in a cycle of busy, busy or just feeling trapped in a situation. Funnily enough, although not a surprise, the pain is in my left foot (divine feminine).
I have had to sit with this energy to work out why this has come about and then do some clearings around this condition. I never own the condition. I just acknowledge it as a sign to release an old pattern or behaviour. Feelings of being trapped and unsupported were shown to me. Then attachments to family with frequencies of pain. They have genuinely helped release old programming that I was holding on to so that the healing can now happen. This is a process.
As I said before, the spiritual body will release the programs, then the physical body needs time to catch up. I will attach a link to the clearings should anyone suffering with the same condition wish to do them.
The universe wanted me to sit and not keep running, walking, cleaning every minute of my spare time, using every waking minute to stay on the go. It wants me to quieten my energy, my body, and bring me out of that adrenaline rush. Why? Because we are human beings, not human doings.
We are currently in a time of transition and transformation, and it needs us all to listen to our bodies and follow the guidance that we are being given. That beautiful light energy body is changing and ascending, and it is time to allow the physical body to catch up. Allow yourself the gift of being shown the way forward, not trying to control or busy your way through the fog.
When I work with clients whether in the Akashic Records or EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique)/Matrix Reimprinting, I always tell them that the energy body has shifted and cleared the programming but the physical always takes that little bit longer as the physical is a denser energy to transform. Whether that be shifting a mindset or a behaviour, the body must learn how to be the newer version of yourself. Those shifts can be subtle or huge.
When your body is talking to you, it wants you to listen to the message that it is sending you. They are all the signals that you will ever need to make the changes that you need to make to course correct.
If you are interested in the Akashic Record Clearing work that I do, I have posted a link below so that you can read more or book a session.
The clearings specifically aimed at Plantar Fasciitis are also linked below.
“Have a beautiful day, listen to your body, and let it guide the way.”
Much Love,
