THE BODY LANGUAGE OF METAL

The body is a hologram of our being. Each area of the body reflects the alignment between our higher purpose (our soul's beliefs) and the beliefs we choose as we move through life.

When we experience chronic pain, illness or injury, we are receiving a message from the subconscious. These messages can be translated to understand where our thinking/doing/believing is out of alignment.

The messages from the Metal areas of the body have to do with structure. Structures are beliefs or repetitive behaviors that indicate what you believe about the world. If these beliefs do not align with your higher purpose, the body will use injury or illness to get your attention.

The Spine and Low Back

Your spine is the physical representation of the structure of your life. While the spine itself is a mirror of your beliefs, each vertebrae is related to a specific area of your life. The lower back (L4 and L5 specifically) is related to money, and indicates a need to re-examine beliefs about abundance, having enough, and how money or resources are acquired.

The Wrists

Hands are about handling. Wrists are a doorway between the hands (handling) and the rest of the body (life). If we have beliefs about life that make it difficult for us to handle, we may experience wrist problems. Wrists are the focal point for storing grief. Since grief is the emotion that allows us to let go, the practice of grieving can shift the energy and open space for new beliefs to enter.

The Lungs and Sinuses

We bring life into our bodies with our breath. The sinuses and lungs are responsible for taking life in fully. Allergies and sinus issues indicate a resistance to life, usually due to early childhood experiences that are interpreted as "life is hard". Lung issues often indicate a subconscious desire to live life more on the surface, thereby avoiding the pain of relationships.

The Colon and Skin

Metal governs letting go. The colon and the skin are the two largest organs of elimination. There is a right time for all things in our life to orbit away from us. If we do not understand this process, we hang onto things past their time. This pattern actually decreases our ability to receive more. Constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, and skin problems are all messages that have to do with holding on to something or someone much longer than it is energetically possible to maintain.
