13 Apr THE SKIN: OUR SECOND LIVER

The skin expresses the condition of the inside of our body. It provides us with a protective barrier, it contains the contents of our body and it expels toxins through sweat. It’s condition mirrors our internal experience, and also our relationship with ourselves.

The skin is a boundary between us and the external world. This means that themes of feeling protected and creating healthier boundaries can also arise. When the skin is in a good place we feel safe, protected and self-confident. When it is not, there is inflammation in the system and some form of conflict within.

THE SKIN AND INFLAMMATION

When there are skin conditions, there is inflammation in the body. On the surface this is often related to dietary habits. Therefore I always suggest a private food intolerance IGG test to make sure that the body is not having a dramatic reaction to something that is being thrown out in the skin. This can happen with what we perceive to be healthy foods, as well as unhealthy. 

After having first hand experience of a skin condition that I am now completely free of, I found that is important to work with what we are putting into our body, as well as clearing our programming.  Changing our dietary input can speed up the healing process initially, however if we do not clear the programming that drives the lifestyle choices we are making, the body will just find other things to react with.

If the body is having inflammatory reactions, the immune system is struggling in some way due to lifestyle choices. In my opinion as a Medical Intuitive, clearing on the programming that is preventing the manifestation of a more supportive and aligned lifestyle is invaluable. Further reactivity is often reduced as lifestyle choices are changed.

When I am working with someone who is going through the process of taking a food intolerance test on my referral, I find their energy changes dramatically. The consciousness it brings in helps us to address much more in sessions. Their energy flows more freely and we can move deeper with the work.

SKIN CONDITIONS

The skin reveals what can no longer be hidden in a visual way. This can be an emotional expression, or an expression of toxicity and inflammation – usually they are one and the same.

If there is an overload of toxicity in the body that the Liver is not dealing with, it can be expressed through Skin. Anger and frustration held in the Liver also comes out in the skin in hot irritable conditions such as canker sores or rashes. Acne tends to be connected to lack of self worth that stems from parental programming and early childhood experiences.

If the Liver is stressed, it is likely the Nervous system is also struggling. Tension and anxiety in the Nervous System can be reflected in the skin in inflammatory conditions such as Psoriasis. Changing lifestyle habits to support these other aspects of ourselves will also help the Skin. 

On occasion I’ve seen situations where people have had past life experiences of being burnt or stung, and the memory of that trauma still needs to be cleared from the skin. Here, it often also links back to rage held in the liver due to being treated in such a way.

When I’m working with the skin, I go straight to the Liver to clear any interfering programs. This will also have an impact on the nervous system. Once the liver is clear the skin will calm down. 

TO BALANCE THE SKIN

To balance the skin it is important to support the Liver. Keeping our lifestyle calm to support the Nervous system and eating in a way that works for us will also support us here.

The Skin plays a role in how we define ourselves and how we understand who we are. This means that Solar Plexus Chakra themes such as self worth, self confidence and self belief come into play when we are addressing issues with the Skin.

When we address our sense of self worth, we can set better boundaries. This supports our general immune system much better which will have a knock on effect for the Skin.
