Your Body is Talking… Are You Listening? 👂🏾: How Emotions Manifest as Physical Ailments

February 16, 2025

Have you ever felt a lump in your throat when you held back your truth? A pit in your stomach when you worried too much? A tight chest when you felt ungrateful? That’s because your body doesn’t just carry you through life—it records every emotion, thought, and energy you hold.

Our bodies and emotions are deeply connected. When we ignore, suppress, or dwell in negative emotions, our bodies find a way to express what we refuse to acknowledge. This is why energy healing, chakra balancing, and intentional self-awareness are so powerful in healing not just the mind, but the body too.

Let’s break down the most common emotional blocks and how they physically manifest—along with ways to heal and realign your energy.

1. Speaking Your Truth vs. Holding It In (Throat Chakra)

Physical Impact: Sore throat, thyroid issues, tight jaw, teeth grinding, mouth sores, chronic coughing

Emotional Root: Lying, gossiping, biting your tongue when you should speak, or feeling unheard

Healing Practice:

Speak your truth daily—even if just in a journal.

Sing or hum to open the throat chakra.

Drink warm herbal teas with honey to soothe your throat.

Reiki with Cho Ku Rei or Sei He Ki over the throat area.

2. Lack of Gratitude → Heart & Lungs (Heart Chakra)

Physical Impact: Heart palpitations, lung issues, tightness in the chest, upper back pain

Emotional Root: Feeling disconnected, closed off from love, or constantly focusing on what’s missing instead of what’s present

Healing Practice:

Start each day with 3 things you’re grateful for.

Practice heart-opening yoga poses like Cobra or Camel Pose.

Use Rose Quartz or Green Aventurine to amplify love and appreciation.

Reiki with Harth symbol for deep emotional healing.

3. Chronic Worry → Stomach, Spleen & Pancreas (Solar Plexus & Sacral Chakra)

Physical Impact: Digestive issues, bloating, ulcers, acid reflux, immune system imbalances

Emotional Root: Overthinking, anxiety, control issues, fear of uncertainty

Healing Practice:

Drink chamomile or ginger tea for gut relaxation.

Meditate with Yellow Citrine or Tiger’s Eye for confidence and ease.

Daily affirmation: “I trust myself and the process of life.”

Reiki with Sei He Ki for emotional balance.

4. Holding onto Anger → Liver, Gallbladder & Blood (Solar Plexus & Root Chakra)

Physical Impact: Liver dysfunction, gallbladder pain, high blood pressure, migraines

Emotional Root: Unprocessed rage, resentment, frustration, feeling powerless

Healing Practice:

Move the energy: kickboxing, dancing, screaming into a pillow.

Incorporate cooling foods like cucumbers, coconut water, and fresh greens.

Burn bay leaves with the names of people/situations you need to release.

Reiki with Cho Ku Rei to dissolve built-up energy.

5. Bitterness & Meanness → Kidneys & Adrenals (Root & Sacral Chakra)

Physical Impact: Chronic fatigue, adrenal burnout, lower back pain, kidney infections

Emotional Root: Holding onto betrayal, feeling unsafe, fear of vulnerability

Healing Practice:

Drink dandelion root tea for kidney cleansing.

Journal: “What am I afraid to release?”

Carry Carnelian or Red Jasper for emotional warmth and release.

Reiki over the sacral chakra with Zonar symbol for deep-rooted healing.

Healing is a Journey, Not a Destination

Your body is always communicating with you. Every ache, every pain, every recurring illness is a message waiting to be decoded. The key to healing isn’t just in medicine—it’s in mindfulness, intentional self-care, and honoring your truth.

Energy doesn’t lie. If your body is speaking, take the time to listen.
