Lately some things have been coming up for me, I finally decided to move on to the Heart Chakra as my focus for the month, and almost immediately I experienced some issues, several issues actually. Last weekend I had some news weighing very heavily on my heart and making my stomach do back flips. It was one of those, do I tell this person, who is like a sister to me, this horrible info that I have for her, or do I keep it to myself? I knew the answer to this, and neither outcome was going to be good for any party involved. To put it plainly, it blew up, and very far out of proportion. I had a few reactions to this, 1.) I had to hold space for her and allow her expression of justified anger, 2.) I felt had to keep the peace, 3.) I had to be the voice of reason, and 4.) I ended up emotionally confused...
When did I start placing my own feelings on the back burner? Or even my own self back there?
Ever since that night I have had a bout of Acid Reflux. I know it is not a dietary thing this time around because just a week prior I had done a impromptu cleanse and was feeling on top of the world. Now, my stomach is still in knots, my throat most certainly has something in it, and I have been waking up from a non-stop flow of dreams choking every night.
Below is an excerpt from a article I find myself referring to when I am having a Reflux issue, Dherbs.com.
The Metaphysical Causes of Acid Reflux
On a metaphysical level, acid reflux (heartburn) conveys the message that you have a burning desire to express something in your life, perhaps about a person or situation. It may be deep in your heart but because you don't know how to express it or perhaps refuse to express it, it burns you, hence "heartburn."
It may also denote anger in your heart. Anger has red energy and red is the color of fire or inflammation, so when there's anger, there's fire, and when there is fire, something is burning. But because this anger is in you, the fire is in you and thus it is something in you or inside of you that is burning. This is why I say that acidic content can literally burn a hole through your intestinal tissue. This is what peptic ulcer is. Your GI tissues have been burned.
According to fellow metaphysician and healer Lise Bourbeau, acid reflux denotes that you have a burning desire for something or someone that you will not allow yourself because you are finding the situation "difficult to stomach", but, rather than dealing with it, internalize your anger."
Healing is wholistic so we must also heal on the mental, EMOTIONAL, and spiritual levels as well. We must cleanse all negativity from our body. We must learn to express our hurts and pains as well. We must forgive, which is very therapeutic! The heart houses love so our hearts must become filled with love. Healing hurts and pains of the heart can be very challenging for many and many may not know how to emotionally cleanse and heal the heart, and if that is the case, I highly recommend you read Dherbs.com "The Love Manual" e-book which shows you how to work on and heal your heart via the 4th or Heart Chakra.

That first sentence says it all, "you have a burning desire to express something..." this is true, there is no maybe about. I am a person who needs to do that consistently, and for many years I have just shut down and allowed these feelings to simmer, brew and now boil over to the point where I now have physical manifestations of this self imposed limitation. In dealing with the Sacral chakra some of this came up for me, and moving further up into the Solar Plexus and Heart Chakras I see the imbalances here as well. I also recognized a mirror, I find it challenging to digest other peoples "dramatics" or "outbursts" and I truly believe this is because I have sat on top of my own for so long. I told my self that if I could remain calm through it all, you should be able to as well....tisk, tisk, that is not a very fair judgement (none are), but it is how I feel when I look at certain people who in my mind went a bit overboard. This mirror has shown up in many people over the course of my life. Conversly I have to say I admire their expression of such intense feelings, and can only hope that in the future people like this take those that are around them into consideration.
I look forward to moving on to the Throat Chakra, this is where I need to work on expressing these feelings, and doing so without harming others. For now I will continue with the Heart Chakra for one more week or so.
Take Care All.
