Traits of an Empath #7

7. Digestive disorders and lower back problems: The solar plexus chakra is based in the centre of the abdomen and it’s known as the seat of emotions. This is where empaths feel the incoming emotion of another, which can weaken the area and eventually lead to anything from stomach ulcers to IBS (too many other conditions to list here). Lower back problems can develop from being ungrounded (amongst other things) and one, who has no knowledge of them being an empath, will almost always be ungrounded.

Um...yeah.

Whenever I get nervous, and I generally get nervous about people or situations, I get this feeling - it's right up where my rib cage comes together, below the breast bone, and it feels like someone has their hand in there, squeezing my guts as hard as they can.  This often happens when I know I'm going to see someone that I generally have conflict with.

I had stomach ulcers (3) in my early 20's - they look really cool on the TV screen after they make you drink that chalk juice!

I currently battle with IBS and no, I'm not going to define that.  My gallbladder does not like nuts or avocado.  Ice cream does not like me.  Prewashed lettuce is not a fan and I do NOT eat at a Chinese buffet - EVER (well, there is only one exception - the one close to work is so busy and doesn't bother me). 

I have terrible low back pain, almost all of the time.  I hurt something while shoveling the driveway the first winter in our house and it hasn't been the same since.  I do frequent the chiropractor.  I LOVE that man!

I do practice grounding exercises often, generally when I feel a little loopy and aloof.  When out walking the dog, I take extra time to acknowledge nature and that helps some.

I'll spare you the rest of the details.  You're welcome.
