The knees represent flexibility, pride, modesty and humility. Kneeling is a manifestation of humility, of subordination to the laws of life, while not wanting to bend the knees indicates a proud, inflexible attitude.
They are linked to our ability to give in, let go or go back to achieve our goal.
Any symptom in them means that I can’t be flexible, that they hurt my self-respect or that they hurt my pride.
I am experiencing an emotional conflict of devaluation regarding something that “I force myself to do” or that “they force me to do”. It is a sample of my “submission”. What I “heavy” to do.
I feel that I must necessarily deliver results, and that if I stop doing something I let others down and I fail myself.
I complain and I can protest, demand, I can even say or shout that I won’t do this or that anymore, but I keep doing it.
We mainly have four types of emotional conflicts that affect the knee:
First of all, if we have any discomfort, it warns us of an attitude of “submission” and obedience to an authority that puts us at a crossroads, because we cannot obey (give in) or confront it.
“I can’t do what I want.” “I submit, I am forced to live on my knees, to kneel always.” “I am obliged to take care of my mother or father, I cannot make my life to take care of my parents.” “I don’t want to, I refuse to leave home.” “I am obliged to take care of my children, even though they are older.” “I force myself to take care of my grandchildren when they are not my responsibility.” “I have the obligation to visit my mother every weekend.”
Secondly, the pain in the knees tells us that we are experiencing a devaluation, especially in reference to some unwanted results obtained and not at all satisfactory, that is, they were not the results that we should obtain.
“I value myself very little in sports, I don’t get to use my knees as I should”, “I can’t do this sport anymore”
Another issue that can affect our knees is the discrepancy with the authority represented in the father, especially during adolescence, it shows us how we face obedience or not to authority.
Likewise, we can feel discomfort when facing a change of direction in life (the knees play a very important role when it comes to making a change of direction) or what is the same, making decisions, choices ( professional, sentimental, sexual, but always with an emotional connotation).
For example, when we have taken a direction, against our wishes, that is, in some way we have felt obligated, forced to take it and this devalues us.
“I doubt, I am undecided between going to the right or to the left; What direction to take? “I’m not on the right track.”
synovial effusion: It tells us that, symbolically, we make more liquid to try to make submission more bearable, softer.
Synovial effusion means that I was submissive and knelt before something or someone.
“I agree to submit, but sweetly please, a little more humanity.”
on your knees: If I have knee osteoarthritis, it is because I do not respect myself enough and I do not take responsibility for myself and my life. I spend the day blaming others for everything that happens to me.
Articular cartilage: its function is to protect… “I have no protection or I don’t know how to protect myself against authority”.
Dislocation: if I suffer from a dislocated knee, it informs me that I am blocked with regard to a direction to take and that this situation devalues me with respect to the future.
popliteal fossa: I do not want to kneel (submit) for a matter of territory. Example: taking care of someone against my will.
Tibial plateaus: symbolically represent justice. “I can or I can not…”
Bursitis: It warns me of a problem of repressed anger, due to the desire to hit someone.
I have to learn to make decisions for myself and know what I want or don’t want.
on your knees: tells us about a great devaluation related to obedience and submission.
It is very important to take laterality into account:
Right knee in a right-handed person: “I wanted to leave, I wanted to leave, but I couldn’t”. She informs us of a “wish” that I have not been able to fulfill. What are they forcing me to do?
Left knee in a right-handed person: “I’m gone, but I’m sorry I did.” She tells us about an “action” that we regret. What do I force myself to?
If it is a left-handed laterality it is the other way around.
People who have affected knees “always” do things forced by someone else or they are the ones who force themselves to do it.
They frequently use the words a lot: “I have to” and “I must” and added to it a justification, “for others”.
They do not do things out of love but out of obligation, and they are so arrogant that first they die that they “stop doing what others already know I always do.”
“I have to make the food, because I have always made it myself”.
“I have to accompany my mother to the doctor, because she likes it that way.”
“I have to take my grandson to school because my daughter can’t, because the poor thing goes to work so early…”
To know the origin of serious conditions, it is necessary to consult and find out if we have inherited any program related to submission from an ancestor with whom we have an affinity. (See meniscus, ligaments, patella)
