Cancer can be used as an example of a symbolic disease where blocked emotions may play a causative role along with other factors such as genetics and environmental toxins as described in the November Let Magic Happen newsletter, Symptoms as Metaphors. Similar mind-body-spirit connections can also be found with other more minor symptoms such as musculoskeletal pain, hemorrhoids, and postnasal drip. Examples from my own life are explored in this 8 minute video and listed below with symbolic causes from Louise Hay’s Heal Your Body book:
Heal Your Body: The Mental Causes for Physical Diseases and the Metaphysical Way to Overcome Them
by Louise Hay
Symptom: Symbolic cause
Lower leg pain: Not wanting to move
Hemorrhoids: Fear of deadlines
Post nasal drip: Inner crying
Face skin lesion: What we show the world
Shoulder pain: Carrying the burdens of life

If you found your way to this book, you probably have had symptoms for many days or weeks already, as the unexplained onset of pain with frozen shoulder (FS) can be quite baffling for a while until you eventually find out about this mysterious affliction. There are many other possible causes of shoulder pain, but when you start to lose your range of motion (ROM) it inevitably leads you down the adhesive capsulitis rabbit hole on a quest for answers. For more details about the book see the Frozen Shoulder Healing blog.
