Healing Notes

The lymphatic system filters waste physically, emotionally, and symbolically. GNM often views lymph congestion as part of healing and repair following conflict resolution or fluid-related conflicts. Louise Hay associates it with clogged thinking and emotional congestion. Karol Truman links it to overwhelm and accumulated burdens. Spiritually, the lymphatic system represents purification, renewal, ancestral release, and surrender.
