What Does Foot Pain Mean – Energy Medicine Awareness

As a professional Reflexologist, I have seen many foot problems since 2006, such as bunion and gout pain, plantar faciitis, Morton neuroma, tight Achilles’ heel, and just tired and achy feet.

Everyone understands physical foot pain, but few understand the emotional pain that can manifest in the feet (or anywhere else in the body.) When we have unresolved conflicts, these buried emotional conflicts and fears can manifest into physical and emotional pain. Even when injuries that healed a long time ago, why does the pain still linger?

Most pains come from unresolved emotions. We address and process pain the way family taught us. Unfortunately, many people do not have the skills to manage emotional distress. Many times we ignore our emotions and pain with the hopes that they go away. Many times these painful emotions get stuck and trapped on our cellular level until they are addressed.

Foot problems are your body’s way for you to stop ignoring your needs.

Hip or sciatic pain – This is an imbalance of the first chakra. The first chakra is about if your everyday needs are fulfilled. Most people want a loving partner and children, shelter, ample food, meaningful work, good health, joy, and peace. Notice how you feel when you have significant life changes? Did it create an imbalance in your life? Do you feel threatened or unsupportive?

Notice how your fears are affecting your health. You might notice pain radiating down your leg, as mine did in 2006 when I opened the door to the Healing Place LLC. I was fearful; it was the beginning of a recession. I spent all of my time educating people about Reflexology because no one knew what it was. I was overwhelmed with worry about how I was going to pay my bills. My sciatic pain was radiating down both my legs.

Back pain, womb issues, or adrenal exhaustion. This is an imbalance of the second chakra. Are there insecurities about your relationships and your environment? Suddenly you get plantar fasciitis because you have nowhere to stand.

Morton Neuroma (pain between the second or third toe.) This is a heart chakra imbalance. Learn to self-nurture or deal with grief or anger.

Shoulder blade pain – This is another heart chakra imbalance where there is enslavement to life’s shoulds and have-to.

Burden points – This can be either a throat and hip (sacral) chakra imbalance. Or if you are shouldering other people’s worries and problems. I noticed that more men get shoulder pain, and more women get hip pain (birthing.)
