The unconscious does not know how to differentiate between the real, the imaginary, and the symbolic (for it everything is real), therefore, and in the case of gastritis, we should not check the food, but we will have to analyze the emotion that we are ” eating” and we have not been able to digest and that also irritates us.
Gastritis according to Biodecoding — Emotional Conflicts
When we have gastritis we are continuously exposing ourselves to something that is indigestible to us, but we do not solve it. For example:
“Every Sunday I have to eat at my mother-in-law’s, or my sister-in-law’s, or my mother’s, or in a place where I don’t want to eat…”
In other words, we are facing a situation that makes us uncomfortable but we do nothing to change it and we continue in the same way. Therefore we are experiencing an indigestible upset that is irritating us permanently and can cause us rage or anger.
That feeling of indigestion goes to the stomach, because the unconscious interprets that we have swallowed a “bite” that we cannot digest…
The unconscious does not understand if it is a real or symbolic snack… it only feels that there is something indigestible in the stomach, because it does not reason, it only reacts and the only thing it seeks is our survival.
indigestible emotional morsel
Then, upon perceiving that indigestible emotional morsel, the brain sends an order to the stomach to generate more hydrochloric acid in order to be able to undo that “morsel” that we have swallowed and has stayed there, unable to digest it.
But since the “bite” is not real, it is not food… it is an emotion, the gastric acids that have been generated in excess will remain in the stomach trying to undo a “Bitle”, which is totally symbolic. And so gastritis will occur. At that time, we should ask ourselves:
What is the stomach trying to tell us? And what is gastritis trying to tell us?
emotional coherence
The answer would basically be that we begin to be emotionally coherent. That we say NO to situations that for us are indigestible, and that we do not continue in that situation for an indefinite period of time.
Therefore, emotional coherence is totally linked to knowing how to set limits. It’s okay to say I don’t want to eat every Sunday at my mother’s, or my mother-in-law’s, or my sister-in-law’s house…
We might also wonder…
- Why do we put up with a situation that gives us a feeling of discomfort?
- Why are we enduring it in time and for so long?
Possibly we can become aware that what exists with that behavior to which we are forcing ourselves and is causing us annoyance, is a search for recognition in others, in our mother, in our partner, in our siblings.
Maybe it’s time to start being . Think, feel and do the same… your stomach will thank you.
