Root chakra damage - suspicious old snake embracing snake oil

Hey , That is really interesting. As someone who has learned about chakras and energy healing, I've never considered that IBS could be healed this way. It's great to hear that you've found it helpful! You might consider also checking out this forum where other members have been discussing alternative remedies for their IBS: https://irritablebowelsyndrome.net/forums/complementary-therapies. It sounds like you have some good information you could share with them! Keep us posted with your progress! - Kat (Team Member)

This is very interesting.
I do feel that some causes of IBS could possibly be old "etheric" wounds and deep injuries. Emotional wounds or even physically abusive wounds that have hurt us to our core, and which we have bravely struggled to "move on" from, and in many ways, appeared to have succeeded!
But the etheric body remembers those wounds, They can cause misalignment of energies and they need deep gentle healing.

I had a deeply positive relationship with my mother, God bless her Soul.
But I was very damaged deep deep down by other experiences I had in later life, that I thought I had found forgiveness for, via real Love to follow that. Real Love has a way of elevating us to a new perspective. But my body still obviously felt those wounds, which I sense damaged my energy centres very badly.

It's a long story I won't go into here, but I have now learned that the person who caused me that damaging grief, all hidden away and impossible to talk about, has found that Karma has come round to kick their butt.
Nothing to do with me. I "let go" 13 years ago. and seriously moved on. But news came to me last Autumn about what was happening. I had no desire to gloat. All I needed was closure, and that person might see the creation they had made and face it square-on and feel it, and that did surely come.
I now wonder if the improvement in my IBS over the past few months has something to do with that.

Glad you've experienced some good, deep healing. My own experience is wavy - a good patch followed by the return of explosions every couple days and lots of Immodium. It works like this: Centerpointe daily meditation occasionally raises hell - ancient wounds I guess I haven't sufficiently resolved - then I struggle to find meditation recordings to calm the underworld's reptile roar. I find it exhausting to keep dredging the same old toxic river but there is no other way to stop the upheaval. It's a daily thing like exercise and the balanced diet and I do feel SO MUCH better than I did even a year ago - but I struggle to recall when plunged once again in the old river. Lately, I've been reliving the child's hell of endless Ottawa winter exiled in an isolated suburb more than an hour on the bus from downtown. It felt like Mars after Vancouver with its milder coastal climate and single family neighborhoods with a healthy mix of retail and parks as well as the beach. How I hated it. Lynda Barry, the creator of Ernie Pook's Comeek, describes the isolation most eloquently.

Yes, I do think we build a shell, a resistance, to dredging too much sometimes, because it can be very painful.
I have heard that "what we resist, persists", and I think that's probably true as we never clear it with blocking and resistance. But doing things gradually in bite sized pieces is probably the best way.

A bit like clearing a ton of rubble, or firewood. If we try to do it all too quickly, we will be in agony! But a bit as we go along and we will only get stronger.

You must have felt lost and isolated being moved out to a faraway location as a child, and presumably with no friends. I guess you were forced to leave those behind? It was different then too, as communications weren't as easy as they are now.
I suppose it's good to take a look at those experiences though. as they have formed our responses and experiences since.
Kind of like a "life review" in a way.
