Healer also needs guidance
By Roop Lakhani - 18:38:00
All health issues are result of your emotional patterns and unaware thoughts..
I had the sinus and costeocondritis issue and this makes me write this blog. Let us understand the metaphysical meaning of Sinus Issues.
Sinus problems often point to: • Unexpressed irritation
• Feeling mentally or emotionally blocked
• Overthinking
• Feeling pressure from others or from responsibilities
• Difficulty letting go of stored grief
• Inner conflict between what you feel and what you allow yourself to express
Sinus is connected to the third eye and throat chakras.
It often shows up when: – You are not speaking up
– You are feeling misunderstood
– Your mind is overloaded
– You are suppressing your emotional truth
Metaphysical Meaning of Costochondritis (Chest Pain / Rib Cartilage Inflammation)
This connects to the heart chakra and the emotional body.
It usually reflects: • Emotional heaviness that hasn't been expressed
• Carrying pain, guilt, sorrow, or disappointment
• Feeling unsupported
• Taking too much burden on the heart
• Conflict between what the heart wants and what life is giving
• Protecting the chest area due to emotional vulnerability
The chest is where we store: – Heartbreak
– Longing
– Emotional pressure
– Fear of receiving or giving love
– Fear of getting hurt again
Costochondritis often appears when the heart is tired of holding everything inside.
Combined Metaphysical Message (Sinus + Chest Together)
When sinus and chest show up together, it usually means:
Your mind and heart are not in harmony.
Your head says one thing, your heart says another.
This creates: • Inner tension
• Emotional blockage
• Overthinking with suppressed feelings
• Difficulty releasing a past hurt
• Difficulty expressing your true needs
• Carrying emotional load silently
Your body is asking for alignment between: – What you think
– What you feel
– What you express
Healing Insights I told myself
You may need to:
• Release stored sadness or disappointment
• Stop carrying others’ emotional burdens
• Let go of suppressed truth
• Allow yourself to express your heart honestly
• Give yourself emotional permission to rest, feel, and heal
I chose to say this Affirmations with full alignment between my head and heart.
• I allow my heart to breathe freely.
• I release what I no longer need to carry.
• I give myself permission to express my true feelings.
• My mind and heart work in harmony.
• I am safe to receive support and love.
The metaphysical knowledge I shared is not just information; it is guidance for healing.
But healing happens when the awareness is applied, not just understood.
Here is how this knowledge can actually help heal sinus + costochondritis.
1. Awareness releases pressure
When you understand the emotional meaning behind the symptom, the mind stops fighting, resisting, and overthinking.
This itself reduces inner stress, which is a major trigger for sinus and chest inflammation.
2. Expression opens blocked energy
Sinus = blocked expression
Chest = blocked emotion
When you start expressing what you feel (even to yourself), the stuck emotional energy begins to move.
Moving energy → better flow → less pain and stagnation.
3. Mind–heart alignment reduces physical tension
Your symptoms are showing: head (sinus) and heart (chest) are not aligned.
When you start listening to both—what you feel + what you think—the internal conflict reduces, which eases inflammation.
4. Breathwork + emotional release directly heal both
Sinus opens with:
• Breath + nasal cleansing
• Letting go of overthinking
Chest pain eases with:
• Heart chakra breathing
• Releasing emotional load
• Grounding exercises
The body heals when it is allowed to feel and release.
5. Spiritual awareness gives a new response pattern
Instead of reacting with fear (“Why is this happening?”), you respond with understanding (“What is this teaching me?”).
This shifts your nervous system from stress mode to healing mode.
Here is a soulful, honest, relatable blog you can publish as a mindset healer and consciousness coach who is experiencing sinus issues and costochondritis yourself:
When the Healer Needs Healing: My Journey with Sinus and Costochondritis
As a mindset healer and consciousness coach, I spend my days guiding people into clarity, alignment, emotional release, and energetic truth.
And yet… here I am, dealing with sinus issues and costochondritis — two conditions that speak loudly of emotional congestion and heart pressure.
Yes, I know the metaphysical patterns.
Yes, I know the emotional roots.
Yes, I even guide others through the same healing.
But knowing and healing are not the same.
Sometimes the healer forgets that she, too, is human.
The Body Whispers Before It Shouts
Sinus problems are never just physical.
They are a gentle tap from the universe saying:
“You’re holding too much in your mind.
You’re suppressing what needs expression.”
Costochondritis — pain around the ribs and chest — is even more direct:
“Your heart is tired.
You’re carrying emotional weight without giving yourself space to breathe.”
I knew these meanings for years.
I saw the symptoms in others and explained them with ease.
But when my own body began whispering, I brushed it aside.
Until it started shouting.
The Healer’s Blind Spot
Here’s the truth we don’t talk about enough:
Healers often forget to heal themselves.
We teach boundaries, but we soften them.
We guide release, but we hold our own tears.
We encourage alignment, but we push through misalignment.
We help others breathe, while our own chest tightens silently.
Not because we don’t know.
But because we are always “on duty.”
Always available.
Always giving.
Always holding space.
Always being strong.
And in that process, we forget that we also need to be held.
And today I am choosing to go deeper emotional roots.
The Emotional Root Cause of Costochondritis
Costochondritis sits exactly at the meeting point of breath, heart, and expression.
This area of the body stores some of the most delicate emotions: grief, heartbreak, fear, unspoken truths, self-protection, and emotional overload.
When this area becomes inflamed, the body is saying:
“There is too much pressure on your heart space. You are carrying more than you allow yourself to express.”
Let’s break this down into the emotional layers.
1. The Pain of “Holding Too Much Inside”
Costochondritis often appears in people who:
• rarely ask for help
• carry everyone’s problems
• manage responsibilities silently
• stay strong for others
• feel emotionally overloaded
• keep truths inside to avoid conflict
Your chest becomes a storage house for unexpressed emotional weight.
The cartilage inflames because the body is tired of holding everything tight.
2. Suppressed Truth and Unspoken Words
The pain near the sternum connects to the throat and heart chakra communication channel.
It shows up when:
• You don’t say what you really feel
• You silence your needs
• You hide hurt to maintain peace
• You fear hurting others by expressing your truth
The body then speaks through pain what your voice cannot say.
3. Grief, Loss, and Emotional Shock Stored in the Chest
Sometimes costochondritis appears after:
• heartbreak
• betrayal
• emotional shock
• feeling unsupported
• losing someone or something
• feeling disappointed by loved ones
The heart area becomes energetically tight, and the ribs unconsciously contract around it.
Pain becomes a shield — the body’s way of saying “I need protection, I am hurting inside.”
4. Fear and Hypervigilance
The chest tightens when your nervous system is stuck in fight-or-flight, especially if:
• you have lived under emotional pressure
• you grew up staying alert
• you constantly worry
• you anticipate things going wrong
• you fear letting go of control
This tightness inflames the rib cartilage because the body remains rigid and guarded.
Costochondritis then becomes a physical sign of emotional armoring.
5. The Good Heart Syndrome
This pain often appears in people who:
• absorb others’ pain
• care too deeply
• give beyond their energy
• are sensitive but strong
• don’t want to burden anyone
• keep going even when tired
Their heart is wide, but their boundaries are thin.
The chest suffers because the emotional boundary is weak.
6. The Body’s Message
Costochondritis carries a very specific soul message:
“It hurts because the heart needs space.
It inflames because the truth needs voice.
It tightens because the emotions need release.
It aches because you are carrying life alone.”
This condition is not punishment —
It is communication.
Your body is asking you to soften, rest, breathe deeper, and support your own heart.
A Soulful Healing Insight
You don’t need to be strong all the time.
You don’t need to hold everything in your chest.
You don’t need to protect everyone at the cost of your own breath.
The moment you begin expressing, releasing, and asking for support,
your chest begins to open,
your cartilage begins to relax,
your breath begins to flow,
and the pain begins to ease.
Breathing patterns for costeocondritis
Costochondritis can be very painful — that sharp, stabbing, tight pain near the chest bone feels frightening and exhausting.
But the good news is: you CAN reduce the pain, soothe the inflammation, and support healing with breath, sound, gentle movement, and emotional awareness.
Here is a clear, practical, safe approach you can start today alongside any medical advice.
1. Understand the Root of Pain
Costochondritis is inflammation of the cartilage between your ribs and breastbone.
Pain increases when: • You breathe shallow
• You are stressed
• You overuse the chest muscles
• You carry emotional heaviness
• You tighten your chest unconsciously
The more relaxed your nervous system becomes, the less inflammation your body produces.
2. Your First Step: Relax the Nervous System Through Breath
Breath 1: 4–6 Healing Exhale
This reduces pain almost immediately.
Inhale for 4
Exhale for 6
Do for 3–5 minutes
(This activates the parasympathetic system and reduces inflammation)
Breath 2: Gentle Diaphragm Breathing
Place hand on belly.
Inhale slowly to expand belly.
Exhale gently.
This takes pressure OFF the chest wall and helps the cartilage rest.
Do NOT do deep forceful chest breaths — this worsens pain.
3. Sound Healing for Chest Pain
Sound reduces the emotional contraction around the ribs and heart center.
Healing Sound for the Chest: “HAAAAH” (soft)
Sit comfortably.
Inhale normally.
Exhale with a warm “haaaah” sound from the heart area.
This releases:
• chest tension
• anxiety that tightens the ribs
• emotional heaviness stored in the sternum
Repeat 6–12 times.
Healing Sound for Lungs: “SSSSS”
This reduces the pressure on rib cartilage.
4. Gentle Stretches to Reduce Costochondritis Pain
Stretch 1: Heart Opening Against Wall
Stand near a wall.
Place palm on wall, elbow slightly bent.
Turn your body away slowly till you feel a light stretch.
Hold 15 seconds, breathe slowly.
Switch sides.
(Do NOT overstretch—just a mild opening.)
Stretch 2: Side Rib Stretch
Raise one arm.
Gently lean to opposite side.
You will feel the ribs expand subtly.
Hold 10–20 seconds.
This relaxes intercostal muscles, reducing pressure on inflamed cartilage.
5. Heat + Magnesium Oil
• Apply a warm compress for 10 minutes
• Or take a warm shower
• Or massage gently with magnesium oil to relax the rib muscles
Avoid ice (it tightens muscles around the cartilage).
6. Emotional Metaphysical Link (This Helps You Make Sense of It)
Costochondritis often appears when: • You feel emotionally “tight” in your chest
• You hold unspoken pain
• You carry stress in the heart area
• You suppress expression
• You take on too much responsibility
• Your inner child feels unsupported
Your body is telling you:
“You cannot carry everything alone. Breathe. Release. Soften.”
Your healing begins when your breath and emotions soften.
7. What to Avoid (Important)
✘ No heavy lifting
✘ No chest workouts
✘ No twisting with force
✘ No strong yoga backbends
✘ No coughing forcefully
✘ No emotional suppression — it tightens chest muscles
8. A Healing Routine (10 Minutes)
Morning:
• 4–6 breath (3 min)
• Gentle chest stretch (2 min)
Afternoon:
• Magnesium oil or warm compress (5 min)
Night:
• “Haaaah” sound healing (1–2 min)
• Belly breathing (3 min)
If you follow this daily, pain reduces significantly.
A Soulful Insight for You
Your body is not punishing you.
It is asking you to rest your heart, soften your load, breathe deeper, and express more freely.
You heal when you return to yourself.
Understanding My Own Patterns
When my sinus flares up, I know:
I am overthinking, overgiving, and under-expressing.
When my chest aches, I know:
I am holding pain, responsibility, and expectations too deeply inside.
And yet… I continued.
As if my knowledge alone would heal me.
But healing is not knowledge.
Healing is action.
Healing is permission.
Healing is choosing yourself the way you choose your clients.
Healing is admitting:
“I need support too.”
The Turning Point
One day, I was sitting with an evolved healer friend and I felt good to discuss intellectually.
And something inside me said:
“You can’t teach what you don’t practice.”
That sentence shook something awake in me.
It was not self-judgment.
It was a gentle reminder:
You are allowed to be human.
You are allowed to heal.
You are allowed to rest.
You are allowed to put yourself first.
What I Realized
My sinus didn’t need medicine alone.
It needed expression.
My chest didn’t need painkillers alone.
It needed emotional release.
My body didn’t need suppression.
It needed honesty.
The healer in me needed healing from me.
What I Am Choosing Now
• I am choosing to listen to my body before it gets loud.
• I am choosing to express instead of suppress.
• I am choosing to stop carrying what isn’t mine.
• I am choosing breath over pressure.
• I am choosing the heart and mind to work together, not against each other.
• I am choosing to apply the wisdom I teach.
Because self-healing is not selfish.
It is self-respect.
A Message to Every Healer, Coach, Therapist, and Caregiver
Your wisdom does not exempt you from being human.
Your knowledge does not cancel your emotions.
Your awareness does not remove your needs.
You do not need to be perfect to help others.
But you must be honest with yourself.
Your body is not betraying you.
It is guiding you.
Listen to it.
Honor it.
Heal with it.
And remember:
The healer within you deserves the same love you give to the world.
To your better well being
