Arthritis

Arthritis (from Greek arthro-, joint + -itis, inflammation; plural: arthritides) is a group of conditions involving damage to the joints of the body. (wikipedia.org)

A common complaint and one which I come across a lot in my work, is arthritis – referring to a number of inflammatory conditions that can cause pain, stiffness and swelling, usually around the joints. For example, Osteoarthritis (being the most common), rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis.

What is the symptom trying to tell you?

The bones of the body are the densest part and on an energetic level relate to the Muladhara chakra (located at the base of the spine). If you have issues relating to this Chakra that are unresolved and buried within the subconscious (energetic blocks), such as family disruption, traumatic childbirth, or childhood hurts, then this could be the source of your pain, which has now manifested itself as arthritis. Your body is telling you it’s
time to let them go.

Other sources of the manifestation of arthritis can be holding onto anger and resentment from past events, being unable to forgive yourself and/or others. Are you holding onto blame, guilt, shame or remorse? Feeling stuck and or fearing change? Do you complain about life? If your pain did have a voice, what would it be saying to you right now?

The ‘symptom’ arthritis is shouting at you to let go. Deeper work with yoga will help you to release whatever it is you are holding onto (and sometimes we don’t necessarily need to know exactly what it is).
