The mind, emotions, and the body are more connected than most of us realize. They can blend together and affect our body through the subconscious which connects them to us, as well as the rest of the universe. This week in Deeper Thoughts we’re going to dive in and discuss why that is.
While the mind, body, and the emotions are separate, they are tied together to our consciousness while we’re here in the Third Density Realm. We’ve talked before about how trauma causes emotional wounding that creates fragments within ourselves. But what about when there’s consistent smaller emotional issues that come up in our lives?
Your body stores emotions and traumas. And we’ve established that trauma isn’t always something that the majority of society views as earth shaking like a motorcycle accident or being in a warzone. It’s not always physical-type of wounding. It can be something like the ending of a relationship, the loss of a job, or losing your home. Stress is a response to trauma.
Another thing to remember that we’ve stated before is that the subconscious mind and the conscious mind do not speak the same language. The conscious mind speaks in the everyday language you use to create your thoughts. The subconscious mind speaks in symbols.
So when stress builds up if we’re not actively doing something to healthily process it, like working out, journaling, shadow work, etc, the subconscious mind tries to reach the conscious mind by manifesting physical issues to get our attention.
One of the ways our subconscious tries to reach out to us is physical ailments. Let's go over some examples. If a woman is working in the same job or same career for years, but she eventually feels that path is a dead end. She thinks that’s not what she’s meant to do the rest of her life, but doesn’t think she has any skills outside of that career that she can use to try something different. She hates the job she has, but at the same time that job pays her well enough to get by and she fears losing that paycheck and the results that will come of that. She feels stuck. She hates her job, but thinks she can’t leave it. That feeling of being stuck in life can cause constant pain in her feet because she feels like she can’t move forward in life.
Let’s say this woman is a bartender. She’s going over her skill sets and sees that she’s used to working with the public, figuring out their wants and needs for food and drinks, and she’s good at upselling food and types of alcohol, all while creating a happy customer experience. These are skills that are crucial to many sales and real estate jobs. Many of these types of jobs would be something she could excel in. And for an added bonus she could still work around this job and still bartend until she was certain this new career is the direction she wants to take in life. Soon those constant foot pains no longer plague her because she no longer feels “stuck.”
Another example is a man who has had no physical injuries, or underlying issues like scoliosis, but he experiences constant back pain. He’s a hard worker and goes way beyond what he thinks he should at work and doesn’t feel like he has any support there. On top of that, he’s also doing what he can to help his elderly father who can no longer work, but he has resentment for this because he feels it’s expected of him do to being parentified and deep down, he’s not consciously aware that he doesn’t want to do this, at least not fully, and at this stage of his life. His back pain is his subconscious mind telling him that he doesn’t feel supported at work and he doesn’t want to be the support to his father.
So what can this man do? For starters he can have a constructive conversation with his coworkers about how he feels and why, and they can all come to a conclusion where he can feel supported in the workplace so he doesn’t feel like he’s doing the brunt of everything, yet still doing his share of the workload. He can also assert his boundaries when someone at work is trying to manipulate or take advantage of him so he doesn’t overexert himself. For his father he can do parts work and see how he was parentified as a child and can seek and find resources that can help him with his father, like another family member or community members that can help him so he doesn’t feel like he’s bearing the load himself. Over time his back pain will begin to go away.
While these examples are more simplistic they occur rather frequently, and many times if ignored and left untreated can escalate into far more dangerous outcomes like debilitating condicions, heart attacks, strokes, cancer, and even eventually death.
For more ways your subconscious can manifest in your physical body, I highly recommend you get the book, Metaphysical Anatomy, by Evette Rose. This book is an amazing resource for finding the subconscious origins of most of your physical pains.
Your subconscious mind reaches out to you in other ways. Oftentimes through your actions. Say a couple breaks up. One of them thinks they’re handling it well, but they begin going to the bar. They start out having just one or two drinks. They tell themselves it’s “just to unwind after work,” and over time that number of drinks begins increasing. What’s worse is, they’re driving home each night. They get home fine every night for months until that night they get pulled over and end up spending a night in jail. That person has options at this point. They can seek therapy which can be talking to a professional or doing partswork (not for the drinking, because that’s just the symptom which is another topic unto itself, but the trauma that was the break up). Or they can just stay in their pattern and keep getting drunk and driving home. They’ll either get pulled over again with worse penalties, or wreck their car, potentially wounding or killing themself or someone else.
The out-of-control drinking is the subconscious’s way of screaming for help. If the person is lucky they’ll catch onto the core reason for their behavior before it hits any serious levels. Drinking is only one of countless coping mechanisms we use for avoiding a wound that will eventually find its way to the surface seeking help and healing.
The subconscious mind is more powerful than many of us realize. We’ve talked before about how we can use its power in manifestation, but these are examples of how it can manifest things and result in our bodies and our lives. So be aware of those pains that keep popping up over and over seemingly without reason and pay attention to your patterns after major events in your life. I hope this article gave you a new or enhanced perception of the power of the subconscious mind and how it affects us in our lives.
As always, I thank you for reading, and I hope you all have an enlightening day.
