Self Mutilation see also Amputation Psychosomatic and Holistic Meaning and Interpretation

Total or partial limb amputation, whether due to accidents or medical reasons (gangrene, tumors), is generally linked to profound guilt related to some aspect of life. For example, if the left foot is amputated, it symbolizes a preference to "die" regarding the direction or choices made in emotional life. The right leg amputation relates to guilt or fear concerning responsibilities, and so on. It's essential to remember that, energetically, the body remains intact even after amputation. Thus, if one has had a leg amputated, they can infuse love, understanding, and integration into their awareness as if the limb were still present. This helps dissolve guilt, recognizing that every action is taken for the best.

Self-mutilation refers to the act of inflicting wounds or injuries on oneself. It can stem from an already disturbed mental state, such as in psychotics, schizophrenics, or deficient individuals. Alternatively, it may result from intense guilt and self-directed irritability due to feeling unworthy of one's existence. Some individuals may use self-inflicted wounds to seek attention, equating it with love. It's as if they aim to physically express their inner suffering, seeking release and a need for love. In such cases, external help is crucial. It's essential to seek inner assistance and identify individuals in the surroundings who can directly or indirectly support the journey toward self-esteem and the joy of living.

Anchylosis is a state of numbness characterized by the temporary loss of movement in one or several joints. It is partial but can become total if I choose to remain completely inactive. This is the initial step towards both physical and mental paralysis. I must recognize the responsibility I hold if I continue in this state without action or desire to move. What am I afraid of? Is it the unknown, the anticipation of something new that unsettles me? I can engage with the affected part of my body to gain insight into the source of my anchylosis. For instance, if it's in my arm, am I resisting new experiences in life? Do I feel a sense of mutilation? If it's in my shoulder, does life feel burdensome, as if a person or situation is too much to bear? Does loneliness or the fear of facing the unknown congest my thoughts? If it's in my foot, what direction am I reluctant to take, causing me to stagnate? If it affects my entire body, I become numb in the face of something or someone, a form of escapism. I'm aware that I'm storing energy in this part of my body, which leads to unconscious anxiety. It's time for me to move forward! I now acknowledge my mistakes (or rather, my responsibilities) and my life experiences. I accept resuming the movement I temporarily abandoned and reactivate my thoughts while remaining open. I nurture a more creative mindset.

A vertebral fracture often results from inner rebellion, a reaction to mental inflexibility linked to authority. Viewing life with narrow-mindedness can attract such fractures. Rigid thoughts and resistance to new ideas can lead to pain and discomfort. Developing humility and flexibility is beneficial. Our back provides support, and seeing it hurt is uncomfortable. Recognizing our present attitudes and the possibility of change is beautiful. Embracing life's flow and remaining open to change is essential.
