*Note: Looking at the endocrine glands and sexual organs for first and second chakras, you may notice they seemed to be switched. This is only my interpretation, authorities vary depending on who you are reading.
A closer look at physical dysfunctions gives clues about the underlying causes of “dis-ease”.
The lower back is responsible for carrying the weight and burden of psychical existence. Are you carrying a burden that could be shared? Is it possible for you to ask someone for help? Others times it may be expressing a belief you are holding.
Tip-off: Do you believe that you can support yourself? Are you feeling isolated, insecure and that you must go it alone? Or have you taken on too much and are putting extra pressure on yourself?
