Did you know that when you experience pain either physically or mentally–any pain–it is your body’s way of communicating with you? Have you ever considered that the origin of this pain may not be connected to the specific part of your body experiencing the pain? Have you ever wondered if the origin of the pain may be connected to another time or experience in your life that you have forgotten?Through pain, your body is working to get your attention. The key is to begin to listen.Your body is resilient and has an incredible capacity to handle stress and emotional issues, it can absorb a lot. But is it necessary to put your body through all this emotional effort on a regular basis? Is it worth it? When you deny your emotional issues or ignore the fact that your body is stressed out; sooner or later your body breaks down and you experience the pain–diagnosed as migraine headaches, MS, Lupus, Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue, Cancer, Diabetes, TMJ, PMS, and the list goes on.You don’t need to play macho with your body, doing the ‘stiff upper lip’ method–’I'm tough, I can take it,’ ‘I can handle anything,’ or I’m responsible for everyone else’ routine. Whether you pretend you’re OK or not, over a period of time, your body just breaks down. You can give your body a break by beginning to resolve those emotional issues, which are hurting you.When you experience a pain in your neck, make the connection. Your neck is where your power to speak resides–the throat chakra. The question is–Are you expressing your truth? Your throat chakra is connected to your feet. What is going on in your life that you ‘Can’t stand?’, thus causing you to give yourself a pain in the neck. Who is being a pain in the neck? If you are not addressing your truth, you will get stuck or blocked in life and you will not move forward productively. You may think you are moving forward every day, but, nonetheless, you may be stuck on a particular issue and not really moving forward. Do you have periods when everything you want to accomplish seems like you are walking up a steep hill or in molasses, even though what you want to accomplish is nothing new and you have done it a hundred times? Ask yourself, “Do I want to continue this project, or did I say, “Yes,” because I don’t want to say, “No?” What is your truth? What do you want? “I will avoid pain, grief, stress, misery.” “What I want is ____.” (State this clearly and precisely.)Knee pain (problems) originates in the shoulders. Shoulders represent our ability to carry our experiences in life joyously. We make life a burden by our attitude–taking on responsibility that does not belong to us. If you feel responsible for everyone in your life, that’s a lot of weight and molecules to ‘shoulder.’ With that much weight, no wonder your knees are hurting in their effort to hold up all those people. Why have surgery to repair or replace your knee(s), when you can eliminate the burden from your knees–and shoulders–and free yourself of the excess weight? By having surgery you will simply continue to create the same problem and be back to the same predicament in a year or two.Sinusitis, colds, respiratory issues, earaches and asthma are connected to your first chakra, which holds all your belief systems and your relationships, especially your family–irritation to one person, someone close.Sinus medicine cannot clear your first chakra of emotional issues lodged in your sinus cavities. Only you have the power to resolve those for yourself. Herbal supplements can support your immune system so it can do its job, but you still need to clear the emotional issues to completely eliminate sinus issues. You need to uncover the reason for the irritation.Your jaws are connected to your generative chakra–hips. The consciousness of TMJ is directly related to the misalignment of this chakra and your creativity. So if you are experiencing TMJ or any jaw misalignment–listen to your truth–Who/what are you angry at? Who/what do you resent? Do you have a desire to have revenge? What are you creating? Are you clenching your jaws or grinding your teeth–thus blocking yourself from creating a more fulfilling life.These are merely a few of the many ways our body communicates to us that we need to change something. From this point forward when your body has pain, ask your body, “What is the pain about?” Pay attention to the response. For example: Close your eyes. Take a deep breath and blow out the breath with a big whoosh. Ask yourself: “Why do I have a pain in my neck?” If the thought comes to you that you did something you aren’t comfortable doing–pay attention to that thought. Expand on that thought. Maybe you said, ‘Yes,’ to something you didn’t want to do. Maybe you talked yourself into doing something because someone else did it. Ask yourself many questions. If your response leads you to say, I want___. Notice if the pain you were experiencing has subsided or is completely gone. If the pain has subsided or is completely gone–you can be certain you have the right answer. If not, continue to explore and ask the question–What is the pain about? Initially this process may take several sessions over a few days, before you are certain of the answer. After you are accustomed to using this technique you will be certain of the answer on the first or second exploration.Many people want guidance in perfecting this technique and seek professional help. Mind, Body, Spirit healing is the most effective modality in facilitating or teaching this process.

Charcot’s foot is one of the many problems which might occur in those with diabetes mellitus. The higher blood sugar levels that stem from all forms of diabetes have an affect on numerous body systems including the eyesight, renal system as well as nerves. In long standing cases, particularly if there has been an unsatisfactory control of the blood sugar levels, you can find problems with the nerves supplying the feet. This will make the feet in danger of issues as if something fails, you don’t know it has gone wrong as you can not really feel it due to the harm to the nerves. This might be something as simple as standing on a rusty nail and that getting contaminated and you are not aware that you’ve stood on the nail. Should it be a blister or ingrown toenail which gets infected and you do not know that it is present on the foot unless you have a look. This is why foot care can be so necessary for those with diabetes and why it will be provided a great deal of emphasis. A Charcot foot is the destruction occurring to the bones and joints if you have an injury and you do not know that the injury has happened.

A way of looking at it could be to consider this way: pretend that you sprain your ankle horribly and you also are not aware that you have simply because you do not experience the pain from it. You then carry on and walk around on it. Picture all of the additional harm which you do by walking about on it. The earliest you may possibly discover that there may be something wrong happens when you take a seat and look at the feet and you observe that one is a great deal more swollen compared to the other foot. This is exactly what occurs in individuals with diabetes who develop a Charcot’s foot. There may be some destruction, such as a sprained ankle or maybe a progressive failure of the arch of the foot and as no pain is sensed they carry on and walk around on it. It should be apparent simply how much more injury that gets done to the original injury prior to the problem is finally observed because of the swelling. At times there is not much swelling, but the Charcot’s foot is picked up from the difference in temperature between the two feet as a result of inflammation related process in the damaged foot that generates more warmth.

The development of a Charcot foot really needs to be dealt with as a bit of an urgent situation since the further it advances the much more serious it’s going to be and the more challenging it can be to handle. The individual definitely needs to quit all weightbearing without delay or at least obtain a walking support so that the damage is protected. For the not too major instances and those conditions which were serious and have improved a really supportive orthotic in the footwear is required to support the feet and the injuries. Sometimes surgical procedures are required to straighten the subluxed and dislocated bones. By far the most critical situations can end up with the foot and/or leg required to be amputated as the trauma has been doing an excessive amount of impairment.
