Hemorrhoids Spiritual Meaning: How Emotional Healing Supports Physical Recovery

If you’ve done everything physically to heal your hemorrhoids, and yet they’re still there, or they still recur, then it’s time to explore the spiritual meaning of hemorrhoids and the emotional patterns that may be holding them in place.

A Reader’s Story: “Why Won’t My Hemorrhoids Heal?”

This is what happened with one of my readers. You can see from his email that he is doing everything right, physically. And there are no complicating physical factors – like constipation or childbirth – that could be causing or reinforcing the condition:

“I’m a senior citizen, but in good health. I’m 6’2” 190lbs and get regular exercise, while consuming zero pharmaceuticals. For the past 3 years I’ve consumed mostly a carnivore diet. I don’t experience diarrhea, and rarely get constipated. I sometimes use magnesium for sleep.

I had trouble with hemorrhoids in my early twenties, but they resolved themselves until recently. Suddenly I had hemorrhoid problems about five years ago. A large external one appeared causing discomfort and itching.

I followed Jini’s directions using her HemorrHeal formula for two weeks, but without success. I doubled the formula as recommended, but still no success.

I’ve used the formula daily for a total of nearly four months now, and while the discomfort and itching has mostly subsided, the hemorrhoid has failed to shrink.

Is there anything further you can recommend and should I discontinue applying the HemorrHeal?”

While there are two more physical factors worth checking, this is the perfect case to look deeper into the emotional and spiritual roots of hemorrhoids.

Physical Causes of Hemorrhoids

Before we go into the spiritual and emotional side, let’s make sure nothing physical is being overlooked:

1. Blood Vessel Support

Take Rutin and Silica to strengthen your blood vessels. If you are taking MultiAbsorb Immune Booster and QuikPlus Bone Matrix, you are automatically getting these key nutrients – and many others.

2. Prolonged Sitting

If you are sitting down more than 4 hours/day, stop! Get a height-adjustable desk and alternate between sitting or standing. Or get a treadmill under your desk, and walk instead of sitting. This same directive applies if you suffer from rectal spasm. There is too much pressure on the rectum for too long with continual sitting on a chair.

Of course, if you suffer from constipation or diarrhea, you also need to resolve these conditions (<– click those links for treatment protocols for each).

The Spiritual Meaning of Hemorrhoids

If we’ve addressed all the physical factors of a condition or dis-ease and we’re still not healing, it could be that the cause or root of the problem lies in the spiritual/emotional body – not the physical body.

The spiritual meaning of hemorrhoids often centers around fear, unexpressed anger, or a deep resistance to letting go.

How to Explore the Emotional Side

You can either go into meditative state and connect with the body part/region that’s suffering, or use my guided meditation to Place Your Consciousness Inside Your Body and see what your body has to say.

Or you can delve into these two resources from people who have devoted their lives to understanding messages from the body. As you read through these explanations, see what resonates. But also, see what you reject, what makes you mad – your resistance may indicate the accuracy of this message for you.

Spiritual Interpretations of Hemorrhoids

Louise Hay – Heal Your Body: The mental Causes for Physical Illness and the Metaphysical Way to Overcome Them

Anus: Releasing point. Dumping ground
Affirmation: I easily and comfortably release that which I no longer need in life.

Hemorrhoids: Fear of deadlines. Anger of the past. Afraid to let go. Feeling burdened.
Affirmation: I release all that is unlike love. There is time and space for everything I want to do.

Michael J. Lincoln PhD – Messages From The Body: Their Psychological Meanings

Self-squashing: They are deathly afraid to let go, in a kind of ‘run amok-anxiety’ reaction to their whole life. They are highly restricted and restrained in their functioning, and they are terrified of generating rejection, retaliation or remorse. They are the product of a severely suppressive/oppressive household.

Repressed resentment: They are ‘sitting on’ a lot of anger and anxiety over their quality of life and about the potential threats of serious calamities hanging over their head. Their experience is that they just have to ‘bite the bullet’ and to ‘make lemonade out of the lemons’ that life hands them so often.

They feel rather ‘at effect’ rather than at cause. Indeed, intervention rather frightens them because it has so often blown up in their face in the form of ‘lash-backs’, accusations, punishment and escalating disasters.

They were intensely programmed to be systematically self-defeating, and at the same time, they were forced to be self-suppressing in a severely patriarchal, oppressive, exploitative and overtly or covertly abusive family.

Mind-Body Healing Tools for Hemorrhoids

So as you read through these possible metaphysical, psychological, or emotional causes for hemorrhoids, if something resonates or ‘pings’ for you, then you know which direction you need to pursue for long-term healing of hemorrhoids.

The best healing tools are those that integrate the mind, body, and spirit in the healing modality. Talk therapy alone is not effective. It needs to be combined with accessing and dialoguing with the tissues and cells of the body.

I suggest you use healing tools like:

Somatic Experiencing

Process past experiences by focusing on bodily sensations rather than cognitive or emotional processing. Therapists help people become aware of and explore physical sensations in their body, which can be related to past traumatic events or stress responses.

Hypnotherapy

Guided deep relaxation enabling client to access past events, wisdom from the body, or spiritual connection.

Lazer Tapping or EFT

Tapping on acupressure points, while dialoguing about the issue, belief, or pattern. Releasing from all the levels of self and clearing energetic blocks in the flow of ki/chi (meridian system).

Craniosacral (at Level 2 or higher)

Craniosacral therapy interfaces with a rhythmic system at the core of our physiology – the pulse of energy that flows between our head and pelvic area. It also addresses myofascial issues like adhesions, stuck diaphragms and other deeper imbalances.

Final Thoughts: Listen To Your Gut

If the physical treatments for hemorrhoids aren’t working, your body might be saying: “Look deeper.”

The spiritual meaning of hemorrhoids can reveal unresolved trauma, resentment, or fears that your conscious mind may be unaware of.

Explore these tools and interpretations with compassion and curiosity, because sometimes, the path to healing means listening to your body’s whispers before they turn into screams.
