10 Gems about Nausea

It’s tempting to assume that nausea stems from physical food or drink we consume (or not). Truth is, it’s rarely that simple. Additional perspectives exist. Consider 10 insightful gems about nausea:

1. In Chinese Medicine, nausea is ‘rebellious stomach Qi’; energy is flowing in the wrong (unnatural) way.  Ask why that might be?

2. Key stomach functions include processing of physical matter, emotional and other energy.  The non-physical is often overlooked.

3. Nausea is a symptom of resistance; it echoes- ‘I am unwillig to process or face what’s going on... ‘

4. This is a nervous system response to what we find challenging. Our body wants to keep us safe. When in fear, the body goes into fight or flight, cannot digest, stays on-edge, and vigilant.

5. Growing up with a stressed parent or carer, implies we pick up on fear vibrations. This can create digestive problems as an adult. 

6. Nausea is a pointer ; your body is feeling unsafe, or feels things are out of control. It might arise around certain people or conditions.  At a deeper level, nausea arises to reflect feeling disempowered, or inability to assert personal power. 

7. The state and Ph of stomach echoes how true you are to yourself.  The meridian stretches from the eye to the second toe. It sits at the front of you. It knows and speaks your boundaries. 

8. Anyone who crosses your boundaries makes you want to rebel, and resist. But without a ‘strong stomach’ a conflict arises about how safe it is to do it. Nausea here is a symptom that echoes inner conflict.

9. Nausea arises when we are rejecting an idea or an experience that feels right in the heart.

10. Nausea may also arise as part of the kundalini process when one is no ready to handle or integrate incoming energies. The movement of such energy is guided and not meant to be rushed.

Decoding the signs

As changes continue to unfold in the world, each of us reacts or responds based on our level of consciousness. This feels like inner harmony or disharmony. We may feel like a conscious creator, taking responsibility for each thought and feeling within, or perhaps confused, indifferent as if we are helpless or powerless.  It may feel as though resistance or specific emotions are arising.

Consider nausea.  An inner view is that nausea is a physical expression of rejection or feeling not being heard.  There is something in your life that you do not want to hear.  One physical possibility is that nausea or vomiting results from something ingested, inhaled or absorbed.  Emotionally, there may be something that you don’t want to integrate or deal with or there may even part of yourself that you reject.  Ask yourself if you feel uneasy with and resistant to those in your environment who don’t resonate with you.  Ask if you are tired of making effort yet feel under or not appreciated.

Now is the moment to be open to new points of view, to read the signs you are giving yourself and to take steps to be in greater harmony with and more accepting of yourself.
