Spleen Problems Psychosomatic and Holistic Meaning and Interpretation

The spleen, located at the base of the left lung, plays a vital role in combating infection, purifying blood, and serving as a blood reservoir. Spleen issues can include contusions, ruptures, splenomegaly (enlarged spleen), tumors, or cancer. Any spleen problem indicates that the person generates excessive worry and restlessness, leading to obsessive behavior that hinders their joy. This self-imposed restraint prevents them from pursuing pleasurable desires. They lose their resilience and become disheartened, feeling empty and ill-equipped to face life's challenges. Paradoxically, they may outwardly appear jovial but harbor inner sadness. Through these problems, the body seeks to help re-establish a connection with inner strength and the ability to face life joyfully. To achieve this, one must release the belief that life is a perpetual drama. The spleen's role in preserving blood integrity and fighting infections parallels the individual's mission to safeguard life's integrity and resist external influences. Desires should be embraced, as everyone possesses the resources to fulfill them. The decision to do so, rather than doubting one's strength, is crucial. For cases involving tumors or cancer, refer to those respective definitions. The spleen is linked to the hypothalamus, thymus, and pancreas, which produces insulin. Malfunctions in the spleen often coincide with negative and dark thoughts, lowering energy levels and triggering passivity. This negativity may stem from self-perception as ugly or unworthy. Laughter and joy diminish, replaced by anger. Situations or people may "weigh on the spleen," indicating a fear of blood, such as a fear of not having enough blood or losing too much during menstruation. There may be a belief that one's blood is inadequate or scarce, raising concerns about survival in a critical accident requiring a blood transfusion. A fear of death often underlies these concerns. The spleen oversees white blood cell quality, and its malfunction points to deep emotional wounds needing healing. Blood symbolizes the joy of living, but it may seem that life's battles are too grueling. Instead of dwelling on exaggerated negative thoughts, individuals should strive to "expand their spleen." This entails demystifying life and finding humor in oneself and situations. Emotions should be expressed to maintain balance and harmony in the body.

Splenitis is spleen inflammation, linked to anger and inflammatory diseases.

Mononucleosis, a disease typically affecting young people, often manifests as swollen tonsils and neck glands. It resists antibiotic treatment as it's caused by a virus and is characterized by increased white blood cell counts. Refer to angina, blood cell problems, and spleen issues for related information. Mononucleosis reflects significant resistance on the part of the afflicted individual, suggesting a need to surrender more. This illness is common in teenagers who fall in love quickly.
Mononucleosis involves an increase in lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell. Adolescents and young adults primarily experience it, and it's sometimes called the "kissing disease" due to its transmission through saliva. If an adult contracts mononucleosis, it's worth examining what aspect of their life may have been affected similarly to a teenager's experience. It often signifies a strong desire for a full life, a feeling of change, and a constant need to fight for one's desires. The defense system strengthens to compensate for perceived life challenges and limitations, leading to a sense of isolation in the face of obstacles. Mono may occur when guilt or criticism arises in one's life. The illness's link to spleen problems is due to spleen enlargement, signifying a need to clear one's life and infuse more love into oneself and others. This transformation brings renewed courage, self-assurance, and the energy to embrace life and experience more love.




I have to clean up my life and put more love into it.

Leukemia is a blood disorder that primarily affects children and the elderly. Its symptoms include an increase in white blood cell count, a decrease in red blood cells (resulting in anemia), and a decrease in platelets responsible for blood clotting. Additionally, the spleen enlarges significantly. Refer to blood cell problems, spleen issues, and cancer for related information.
Leukemia represents the inhibition of joy circulating freely in one's life. It signifies deep-seated hatred, self-destruction, and a reluctance to fight. In the case of a child with leukemia, it may reflect a refusal to be reborn or profound disappointment with the world. Leukemia often follows the loss of a loved one, even a beloved pet. This form of cancer is closely tied to the expression of self-love and can emerge after a significant personal event that led to self-devaluation. Consider the example of a young child denied a spot on a soccer team; this rejection may feel like a life crisis. It can lead to the belief that one must constantly protect themselves to achieve their desires, resulting in suppressed emotions. If love or the desire to live has been wounded, it can lead to a distrustful, confused, and alienated attitude towards love. The solution is to align with life rather than resist it, changing survival into living. This transformation leads to inner peace and reduced need for excessive self-defense.




I must learn to go with life instead of against it.

In most cases, myocardial infarction occurs when a clot obstructs a hardened, narrowed artery due to arteriosclerosis. Refer to heart problems and artery problems for additional information, and consider that the person may have formed a clot as a way to block emotions that are robbing them of life's joy. If the infarction affects another part of the body (lung, kidney, intestine, brain), refer to the respective body part for more details.
In general, a heart attack signifies the death of a portion of an organ's tissues, known as necrosis, caused by the blockage of the artery supplying blood to that area. While this can affect various body parts like the intestine, spleen, bones, and veins, it most commonly impacts the brain, lungs, and the heart's myocardium. When blood flow is suddenly interrupted by a clot or lipid deposit (a form of fat) in an artery, it means that joy is no longer flowing in that area, potentially leading to tissue death. Depending on the affected area, I must contemplate what led my heart to say, "Enough, I can't take it anymore; a part of me is dying!" I need to evaluate what needs I may have neglected and how I can bring my life back into balance to experience joy and fulfillment fully.
