Healing Notes

From the 2023 Emotion Link Reference Guide — possible emotional associations: digestive cramps are linked with fear in the present moment. Possible purpose or secondary gain: it gives me a break from what is happening now.

Fear softens when the body learns, slowly, that this present moment is safe. Breath, ground, and small acts of trust each loosen its grip.

The places the body has been avoiding — the feelings, truths, or moments it has been organised to keep at a distance.
