Mind Body Connection - Pain


For the last week I've had have a pain radiates out from the centre of my sacrum, over my bum to the hips and then down my legs through the middle of my thighs and into the backs of me knees.  It started higher in my back but now its right in the sacroiliac joint and nerve. Its tender, its on fire, its aching. Each time a heath practitioner touches me they say “Oh wow” or “Goodness me!”. Its a polite way of expressing their shock and wonder at how I managed to get so tight in there. The lightest of touches causes me to flinch. The muscles are knotted and twisted on the surface and fiery red angry deep down.

I've always had problems emanating from my hips. The muscles that attach to them, and its always caused problems up and down my legs.


On my acupuncturists table this morning I made a connection that I never made before. One that is so blindingly obvious and simple that I cannot believe that I only see it now.

These are the parts of my body that I hate the most. Yes, I loathe these powerful limbs and bones that support my body every day.

I need to love myself to heal myself. I have to listen to what my body is saying to me.
