Your Body is Talking. Are you Listening?

I AM THE SPLEEN

The word spleen means moroseness and irritability

I govern the rhythms in the body. In women I am responsible for keeping the menstrual cycle in rhythm with the phases of the Moon. My primary job is to worry about the physical body. When this worry is imbalanced, we worry constantly without being able to decide what important.

I am all about worry, thinking, the subconscious mind, cleansing and purification.

In western physiology I am responsible for cleansing the blood. Mentally, I give you the ability to clear older and stagnant thoughts from the mind.

Directly linked to the thymus gland and the hypothalamus in the brain, I aid in
the production and maintenance of immune cells in the blood. Each is also connected to the pancreas for the production of insulin. In other words, I am essential for balancing the blood, and for your personal protection. In order to do this I have to deal with negative emotion, such as anger, that are in the blood, which can weaken in this area if they become overwhelming.

The pancreas and the spleen - although we two organs have our own individual functions, we are both involved in the secretion and distribution of insulin. The pancreas maintains the sugar balance in your blood; without it the sugar levels rise and cause innumerable problems such as diabetes. Hypoglycemia is the opposite of this, where there is not enough sugar in the blood, and weakness and dizziness can owe occur. The sugar level in your blood relates to the amount of sweetness and love in your life and to the opposite, anger and sourness.

Diabetes can indicate that the love you are receiving is uncontrollable and excessive, to the point where it is smothering and overwhelming. It is also unusable as it is constantly being eliminated in the urine, thus responding to a sense of loss and inner sadness. In this state you have great desire for affection and love, yet you don’t know how to act if it is received. This gives rise to anger and resentment, and blaming of others with their own inner fear and confusion in dealing with love.
Hypoglycemia indicates the same conflicts with expressing and receiving sweetness but the conflict leaves an inner depletion and emptiness.

In Chinese medicine I generate worry to give the energy to think. Spleen worry affects the subconscious mind and helps to keep digestion of food and thoughts coordinated.

Are you a worrier? Maybe your blood sugar levels are off. What am I, your spleen trying to tell you?

An excellent way to think about stuttering. How can we work with the big part of the iceberg under the water? The part above the water would certainly benefit!

We go "underwater" with today's drawing prompt and take a peek at the iceberg analogy of stuttering. You know how all we see is the part of the iceberg above the waterline and can't see the massive rest of it underneath? Stuttering is the same way. What people see at face value is the stuttering, the blocks, repetitions, prolongation, and secondary behaviours (such as blinking, stamping your foot). What people don't see is the emotional struggle going on because of the stuttering. The shame, guilt, isolation, sense of hopelessness, fear of being laughed at or rejected, anxiety, denial, to name a few. If only the world had more .
