Psychosomatics: lower back
The zone of energy distribution and support
The lower back is where the energy flows of the upper and lower body meet. Trouble here can point to a broken energy balance: the body is spending its resources not on its natural tasks but on propping up a situation that goes against its needs.
Possible psychological causes
- A disrupted energy balance in the body
- Vital resources spent on tasks that aren't yours by nature
- Chronic tension from an unstable footing in life
- Blocked vital energy
Self-reflection questions
- ?Where does most of your energy actually go?
- ?What in your life makes the ground feel unsteady?
- ?Which of your body's needs get ignored again and again?
