If you have physically done everything you can to heal your hemorrhoids but they are still there or are still recurring, then it is time to explore the spiritual meaning of hemorrhoids and the emotional patterns that may be holding them in place.
A reader's story: “Why aren't my hemorrhoids healing?”
This happened to one of my readers. From his email you can see that he is physically doing everything right. And there are no complicating physical factors – such as constipation or childbirth – that could cause or exacerbate the condition:
“I am an elderly person but in good health. I am 6 feet tall and 190 pounds, exercise regularly and do not take any medications. For the past three years, I have eaten a mostly carnivorous diet. I do not have diarrhea and rarely have constipation. I sometimes use magnesium to sleep.
I had problems with hemorrhoids in my early twenties, but until recently they resolved themselves. Suddenly I started having hemorrhoid problems about five years ago. A large external swelling caused discomfort and itching.
I followed Jini's instructions for two weeks with her HemorrHeal formula but to no avail. I doubled the formula as recommended but still no success.
I've used the formula daily for a total of almost four months now, and although the discomfort and itching has mostly subsided, the hemorrhoid has not shrunk.
Is there anything else you can recommend and should I stop using HemorrHeal?”
Although there are two other physical factors worth checking out, this is the perfect case to delve deeper into the emotional and spiritual roots of hemorrhoids.
Physical causes of hemorrhoids
Before we get into the spiritual and emotional side, let's make sure nothing physical is overlooked:
1. Blood vessel support
Take rutin and silica to strengthen your blood vessels. When you take MultiAbsorb Immune Booster and QuikPlus Bone Matrix, you automatically receive these important nutrients – and many others.
2. Prolonged sitting
If you sit for more than 4 hours a day, stop! Get a height-adjustable desk and alternate between sitting and standing. Or put a treadmill under your desk and walk instead of sitting. The same guideline applies if you are suffering from a rectal spasm. Constantly sitting in a chair puts too much strain on the rectum for too long.
Of course, if you suffer from constipation or diarrhea, you also need to address these symptoms (<– click on the links to view the corresponding treatment protocols).
The spiritual meaning of hemorrhoids
If we have addressed all of the physical factors of a condition or illness and there is still no cure, it may be that the cause or root of the problem lies in the spiritual/emotional body – not the physical body.
The spiritual meaning of hemorrhoids often revolves around fear, unspoken anger, or a deep resistance to letting go.
How to explore the emotional side
You can either go into a meditative state and connect with the body part/area that is suffering or use my guided meditation to bring your awareness into your body and see what your body has to say.
Or you can delve into these two resources from people who have dedicated their lives to understanding messages from the body. As you read through these explanations, pay attention to what resonates with you. But also see what you oppose, what makes you angry – your resistance may be an indication that this message is true for you.
Spiritual Interpretations of Hemorrhoids
Louise Hay – Heal Your Body: The Mental Causes of Physical Illness and the Metaphysical Way to Overcome Them
Anus: release point. landfill
Affirmation: I simply and conveniently release what I no longer need in life.
Hemorrhoids: Fear of deadlines. Anger of the past. to let go of fear. Feeling burdened.
Affirmation: I let go of everything that is other than love. There is time and space for everything I want to do.
Michael J. Lincoln PhD – Messages from the Body: Their Psychological Significance
Self-crushing: They are deathly afraid of letting go, in a sort of “run amok” reaction that lasts their entire life. They are severely restricted and restricted in their functioning and are afraid of causing rejection, retaliation, or regret. They are the product of a highly oppressive/oppressive household.
Suppressed resentment: They “sit” with great anger and fear for their quality of life and the potential threat of serious catastrophe hanging over them. They have experienced that they simply have to “bite the bullet” and “make lemonade out of the lemons” that life so often offers them.
They feel more “at the effect” than at the cause. In fact, interventions are more likely to scare them because they so often stare them in the face in the form of “backlashes,” accusations, punishments, and escalating disasters.
They were heavily programmed to be systematically self-destructive, and at the same time they were forced into self-repression in a strictly patriarchal, oppressive, exploitative and overtly or covertly abusive family.
Mind-Body Healing Tools for Hemorrhoids
So, as you read through these possible metaphysical, psychological, or emotional causes of hemorrhoids, you will know which direction to take to achieve long-term hemorrhoid healing if something resonates or “rings” at you.
The best remedies are those that integrate mind, body and spirit into the healing method. Talk therapy alone is not effective. It must be combined with access to and dialogue with the tissues and cells of the body.
I suggest you use remedies like:
Somatic experience
Process past experiences by focusing on physical sensations rather than cognitive or emotional processing. Therapists help people notice and explore physical sensations in their bodies that may be related to past traumatic events or stress reactions.
Hypnotherapy
Guided deep relaxation that allows the client to access past events, wisdom from the body or spiritual connections.
Laser Tapping or EFT
Tap on acupressure points while talking about the problem, belief, or pattern. Liberation from all levels of the self and removal of energetic blockages in the Ki/Chi flow (meridian system).
Craniosacral (level 2 or higher)
Craniosacral therapy is linked to a rhythmic system at the center of our physiology – the pulse of energy that flows between our head and pelvic area. It also treats myofascial issues such as adhesions, stuck diaphragms, and other deeper imbalances.
Final Thoughts: Listen to your gut
If physical treatments for hemorrhoids don't work, your body may be saying, “Take a closer look.”
The spiritual meaning of hemorrhoids can reveal unresolved trauma, resentments, or fears that may be unaware of your conscious mind.
Explore these tools and interpretations with compassion and curiosity, because sometimes the path to healing means listening to your body's whispers before they turn into screams.
