Psychosomatics: chest
The zone of emotional exchange and vital energy
The chest reflects the state of emotional exchange between you and the world around you. When that exchange breaks down — feelings get suppressed, the ability to give or receive shuts off — the body signals it through symptoms in this area.
Possible psychological causes
- A breakdown in emotional exchange with your surroundings
- Suppressing feelings the body considers important
- A blocked ability to give or receive
- Living at odds with your own nature
Self-reflection questions
- ?What feelings are you holding back?
- ?What has changed in your closest relationships?
- ?When did you stop living in step with yourself?
