I’ve had extreme tightness and discomfort in my left hip since I had my son a year and a half ago.
My yoga teacher has said, based on the chakras, that this usually represents a financial change or shift in profession. My newest, full-time profession of “Mommy” might have something to do with it. However, I’ve been speaking to the Universe about my yoga teaching career lately as well, dreaming bigger and bolder, and my left hip started speaking to me with increased intensity. I can’t be in Warrior 2 for more than five seconds before my hip starts screaming for internal rotation. “STOP THIS NOW!” is the overwhelming message. I turn the foot in, take a breath, and then come back into the pose with slightly greater ease. Looking at this symbolically, I truly believe that it’s a clear sign from my body and mind that there’s an unwillingness to change. My hip is responding with fear.
It’s also entirely possible that my hip is messed up from xenical online price lowest pushing a baby through my pelvis! So in my physical yoga practice and in my life off the mat, I am now working on moving slowly and mindfully, looking for signs and learning to trust my gut feelings.
When I meditate, clarity comes. And the more I practice listening to my heart in combination with my intellect, I experience intuition that I can trust. Opportunities appear. My next steps are laid out for me. And a trip to the hip doctor may also be in order.
Regardless of the prognosis, my left hip reminds me that I am in the middle of a big transition in my life. I am filled with gratitude for the opportunity to grow as a person and to evolve my soul. I ask for transformation every day and the Universe delivers in amazing, terrifying and humbling ways.
Do you have any injuries worth looking at symbolically? Respond in the comments!

my right sacroiliac joint has been ‘talking to me’ for about a year & a half. it started just after my father’s death in april 2015 & just before my yoga teacher training in october 2015. i’ve had x-rays, chiropractic adjustments, massage & physical therapy, but i’m not sure i ever once considered spiritual work that i might need to be doing. thank you, megan, for this post. this is something i’ve needed to hear for quite sometime, methinks 🙏🏻
Thanks for reading, Mindi! “Eastern Body Western Mind” by Anodea Judith has been a great resource for me in discovering the symbolism behind my aches and pains.
