VARICOSE ULCER, emotional and spiritual meaning:

They are ulcers shown in varicose legs on an altered and weakened skin, usually more pigmented or purple.

Almost all of them are located in the lower half of the legs in the inner region and more specifically in the back of the inner ankle and present with pain that intensifies with the touch and movement.

They indicate us that we are overloaded and overworked. We live in a situation that causes us disgust, dismay.

When varicose ulcers appear, it means that we are living in two conflicts at the same time: Conflict separation + devaluation.

For example: To find a job, we had to leave our home town and yet no one recognizes and appreciates what we've done.

Or maybe we work in our house itself, but neither our children nor our husband recognize everything we do and that makes us feel as "outside the family".

Parent’s Emotions are Passed on to the Fetus During Gestation

During the last 20 to 25 years, there have been numerous studies in France, Germany, and Spain about fetus’s life and receptivity to outside influences such as the emotional states of both the mother, the father, and other relatives involved during the gestation period. The fetus is also influenced by events, dramas, concerns, and anxieties that occur around them during life in the womb.

In BioNeuroEmotion, we call this time the Parental Projection Period, which begins at six months before conception, and can continue up to three years after the birth and principally involves the mother and the father. Our studies adjacent to the Parental Projection Period and focus on the fact that it is the mother who brings the most emotional information and incidental circumstances to the child during pregnancy. This includes both simple and complex stuff. The fetus will be “affected”, “influenced”, and “defined” by what the mother hears or sees. But above all, by the way the mother reacts to everyday events. The mother could leave small personality traces in the child or affect him/her completely in his/her health, physique, temperament, or self esteem. It will all depend on the type of emotions and reactions that the mother transmits to the baby. If the mother is strong, safe, confident, courageous, and expresses these qualities both in her words and actions, her child will be someone who possess similar qualities.

If, however, the mother is weak, insecure, fearful, or has low esteem, the child will also possess these negative qualities.

The Thoughts and Feelings of the Pregnant Woman

Most women, fortunately not all, are oblivious to these studies. Many women are ignorant to the big influence that their words, thoughts, reactions, and emotions have on the child. They believe that their child does not share any of these ideas, and therefore, feel that they are free to have any thought, emotion, or action without affecting the unborn infant. This is where they are wrong. The mother’s behaviour and belief system affects the child mentally, and even physically. In the novel Elective Affinities, Goethe tells the story of a woman who, during her pregnancy of her husband’s child, couldn’t stop thinking about another man she loved. The girl who was born had the same eyes as this man. So great is the power of thought and feeling in pregnant women! So why don’t women decide to work for the benefit of their child during pregnancy?

 The True Nature of the Baby is Determined at the Moment of Birth

A woman waiting for a child should have affirmations such as:

• During these nine months, I have every chance to make my child a healthy, beautiful, intelligent, noble, full of love individual.
• During these nine months, I have every chance to make my child a blessing for the whole world.
• During these nine months, I should look at my thoughts, my feelings, my desires, my actions, and provide only the purest elements to contribute to his/her molding.
• During these nine months, I must act knowing that my child, hears me, feels me, and sees me.
  Preparing to be Parents

  The true education of the child begins before the birth with the education of the parents, who must prepare their interior beings well in advance through a better understanding of love, to attract an exceptional soul to the family. They must strive to conceive this child in the greatest light and purity. Once the child is conceived, the mother, aware of the power that has been given to her by nature, will work to give this soul a physical and mental body made from the finest materials. If thousands, millions of parents around the world decided to make this work, humanity would really be transformed in three or four generations.

BACK, emotional and spiritual meaning:

The back and spine are related to our roots, with the deepest foundations where our beliefs and our ​​more intimate scale of values grow. The back is what allows us to keep up, to shoulder our burden, to address the circumstances of life, to our human condition, to adversity.

"I have a heavy load on my shoulders," we say when the responsibilities we have to assume weigh too much. When we strive to shoulder the responsibilities of others, when we are creators of happiness or misfortunes of those who are on our side ... it is a burden so great that we crave someone to help us and support us, but, when not counting on that help, we get angry and we end up with a sore back. All back problems relate to the support.

Do I feel supported by my life? 

"No one understands me". 

"No one supports me and helps me” 

"I have many responsibilities, I feel a heavy charge”

The back also symbolizes that part of us we do not see or do not want to see, the shadow. By the same, the back can hurt us when we leave unresolved situations ... "behind us".

Lower lumbar region: The lumbar area of ​​the spine is actually the base, which "supports" which allows us to stay upright, standing, "deal". The problems in the lumbar area mean a devaluation of a conflict of personality (according to work, family or life in general). We talk about the inability to cope with life and its situations, the inability to take the material dimension of existence (work, money, family, responsibilities, etc.). They also reflect the feelings of insecurity, helplessness, fear, especially fear of failure and poverty.

"You cannot take more stuff!".

"Since I am the pillar of the family, without me, everything falls apart”

This part is associated with having: (have money, a house, a spouse, children, work, etc.). When there is pain in the lower back, it indicates that the person needs to "have" to feel supported, but does not dare to acknowledge and to express it. These people need to be allowed the right to property or want to have someone to feel safe. To achieve this it is necessary to begin to make their demands and begin to rely on the abundance of the Universe.

Similarly, you can grieve the lower back when we feel betrayed or being caught from behind. Expressions like "I felt stabbed in the back", "talk behind my back", "I have turned their backs", "act behind me", etc. suggest hostility, suspiciousness, aggression or treason.

Upper region: It represents the relationship with the family, the emotional aspect, support emotionally: "I am the pillar of my family". Do we feel loved? Are we willing to love?

When there is pain in the upper back, it is because the person suffers from emotional well-insecure because he/she feels that others block it, or because they do not notice the "support" of their family.

The way you have to find this security is doing things for others, and also to express your love. At the same time, you feel loved when someone does something for you.

Pain in the dorsal back can also evoke a sense of guilt or responsibility for the suffering of a loved one.

Cervical pain: Folding the neck, being forced to lower your head in shame, capitulate. Reflect conflicts of moral devaluation, injustice or submission, humiliation ...

Recommendations to recover physical, emotional and spiritual health:

Do you feel that you are carrying all the weight, it is you who have to do everything? It was your own choice.

What has been the reason why you moved to carry everything?

Nothing and no one can give us unconditional happiness. To this it can only be reached through unconditional acceptance of ourselves.

When we want to do something for someone, whom we love, we do it just for love, without expecting anything in return.
