Meaning and Metaphor in the low back

April is our month for low back care.
The low back is part of the second chakra or energy center along with hips and pelvis. Think of these metaphors for a clue about the message in the low back:
I’ve got your back.
I’ll back you up on that.
He backed me into a corner.
These have to do with working with a partner and either having support, or not.

Three pieces to this puzzle and if either piece is too little or too much, then second chakra issues will eventually surface – one of those being chronic low back problems.

A partner
This is a business partner or a love relationship partner.
Money.
This is financial support and the ability to bring forth the abundance of the world.
Love
Matters of the heart: Marriage, commitment, sex, children.

If you have chronic low back issues, carefully examine these three pieces and you will likely find something is out of balance. Your body is sending the message to change the dynamics between love and money.

Our feature pose this month is the balancing cat. There are many variations to this posture but it is a gentle and very effective way to strengthen the core muscles of the body including low back and abdomen.
