A Personal Story of Back Pain
I wanted to share with you an example of how emotions can become physical
problems. Emotions like anger and stress. Some of these emotions come from a
past life and we have been working it out for a long time. Many physical
problems have a past life connection to it. A time before now where the problem
began.
Since I was a child, I have struggled with back pain. I rode horses and trained them to jump in competitions. Sometimes while training the new horses, I would be thrown. There was one day that stands out above the rest. Instead of being with friends, I was told by my parents to stay home and train. Because I was so angry with them, I allowed the negative emotion to take over. I wasn’t paying attention; I fell off and hurt my back.
I was in a car accident about 12 years ago. The car accident was the trigger or the opening for the emotion of anger and the memory of the many times that I have hurt my back. The physical trauma, even though it was severe, was nothing compared to the emotional trauma. For over a year my life changed because one man didn’t stop at a stop sign. I could no longer do what I loved to do. I was angry. I could not ride my motorcycle, snow ski and I couldn’t kayak anymore.
Even though I had recovered physically, there have been many times since the car accident that my back would hurt. Just about anything physical could hurt my back, even something as easy as walking or hiking.
It wasn’t until I became a hypnotherapist that I started thinking about the emotions behind the back issue. What was I thinking and feeling when I took that walk? What was happening in my life at the time? When was the first time I hurt my back? For me, the answer was in a past life.
In a past life session, I saw myself as a prisoner, making a tunnel through a mountain. The back pain in that past life was the same as now. But it’s the emotional connection that was so significant for me. I had no control over my physical condition and I was very angry. So now, if I start to feel lack of control over a situation or find myself angry about something, whatever I’m doing could trigger my back to hurt. And depending on the negativity level of the situation – that’s the pain level.
When you know that a pain or physical/emotional problem could be coming from a past life, you can let it go. Your soul will resonate to the truth. There is so much power in the asking, so ask. Ask God, ask you Angels. Ask them to take it away from you. Ask to leave it in the past life.
Negative emotions affect us all differently. We need to learn to protect ourselves from it. We need to use the tools that we have been taught, the tools that are in all of Sylvia’s books. The Tools for Protection.
