Healing Notes

In GNM, joint conflicts often relate to forced separation or resistance to movement. Louise Hay associates arthritis with criticism and resentment. Karol Truman connects it with inflexible roles or unmet expectations. Arthritis may reflect a hardening against life's changes. Spiritually, it can symbolize legalism or rigid obedience without softness.
