Releasing The Hidden Emotions That Cause Kidney Problems
Healing the cause of kidney problems begins with understanding where it first originated. Physically the kidneys are located in the right and left side of the abdomen and their purpose is to cleanse the body’s waste products and release excess fluid as the blood passes through, and subsequently released to the bladder to be eliminated from the body. The kidneys also balance the blood chemicals, controlling hormones that control blood pressure and maintaining healthy blood cells and bones.
What most people may be unaware of, is how kidney dysfunction can affect the whole physical structure. The main muscles relating to the kidney meridian are the psoas muscles, which are attached to both sides of the lumbar vertebrae with their insertion into the upper thigh bones, connecting the upper and lower structures of the human body.
If there is a kidney meridian imbalance, pelvic pain or discomfort can occur. Due to the interconnectedness of the muscular system there follows tension in the shoulders and upper arms. As the trapezius muscles running from the vertebrae of the neck to the collar bone and shoulder blade also relate to the kidney meridian, the whole structure can be out of alignment.

The emotions that trigger kidney problems
As the kidneys can look like a pair of scales attempting to keep balance, the emotions can reflect this in our relationship with others. There can an inherited feeling of injustice – “It is just not fair!” from one or both parents. There is a tendency to make a poor judgment, together with an inability to make decisions about one’s own needs. However, the desire to help others will be very strong, as well as being easily influenced by others. Being sensitive and often over-emotional will not have helped.
A diseased kidney can also indicate a perceived lack of inner resources or powerlessness in relationships or recent situation. There can be a disappointment after feeling disillusioned when your expectations are not met. This can result in a strong need to criticize or judge.
There can be strong feelings relating to the kidney meridian, such as fear of being alive, or a fear of imminent disaster. Also, there can be sexual insecurity or indecision.
Positively, one of the secrets is to be gentle on oneself, as well as trusting more in the Divine, and knowing that one is ultimately safe.
The overall picture which revolves around kidney problems is a situation where one of not allowing the true self to live according to his or her true nature.
I share slightly different information about this subject on my video.
By applying Energetic Wisdom methods I have had a deeper insight into understanding the root cause of kidney problems and related structural challenges.

Testimonial by Michala W, Mallorca, Spain.
Tony has helped me tremendously. He is able to tap into the core, the truth. The results I, and many people I have referred to Tony have been incredible. An example of this is that I have had a severe latex allergy for many years, not able to touch or be in the room with any by-product of latex. The effects for me were severe, choking, swollen itchy body and an ambulance called immediately.
Each time I have given birth or had an operation the room would have to be scrubbed and everything removed beforehand which took several hours. One session focusing on this with Tony and I was cured.
During the session, to my disbelief, he had me holding a balloon! And still, now I have no effects. This has been the same for claustrophobia and several other fears I ‘used to’ have.

Awesome. My three year old son was diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome, on top of his sickle cell anemia. His father deals with kidney issues and is currently hospitalized due to ‘sepsis’. He has a third kidney. I wonder what the soul may be saying with having three kidneys? It makes me especially curious since my son was diagnosed with a kidney disorder earlier this year. They are both highly emotional and often times so so kind. I believe they are not always saying or living their truth. Interesting article. Thanks for sharing
Hi Tyra, your son has picked up your husbands program, which in turn has come down the ancestral line.
With your husband there is anxiety and a sharp anger which has turned inwards. Not being able to say no and stand up for oneself is a common theme.. Although your husband may seem calm he is bottling up enormous emotional energies. There is a mortal fear of releasing these emotions.
Your son has made a negative association with love from a very early age. He feels deeply unworthy of receiving love. This, again will have passed down the generation line.
To me, this is the part of medicine we in the western world have forgotten. Even with CoVid, it is no wonder we have suffered a pandemic in the heart/lung center as we as a modern society have profoundly forgotten how to care for one another. When my mom died my father said he was ok but got a terrible dry cough that didn’t go away for a year and then has some heart abnormalities. I always knew it was because he couldn’t grieve his ex-wife properly. I have a hereditary disorder called Acute Heptic Porphyria, it affects the whole body including the blood, liver enzymes and the CNS. I am also what some would consider too sensative, others might call it clairvoyant. The upside to this hereditary disease is that everyone in my family who has it also is very sensitive to the emotions , spirituality and “visions” of other people in many ways. However, we are also the ones used as a scapegoat for the family issues. Thank you so much for your work! As humans open up spiritually we will begin to understand/remember more of the body/mind/spirit connection in the West. (if big pharma allows it) This is exactly what the world needs right now in the wake of so much suffering and dis-ease.
I bless your journey, Tracy.
This was an intresting read. I have seen lots of babies born with kidney or liver defects. What might be the energetic cause of that in new borns to 6 months old i wonder . When they r not even expressing emotions
We must not forget the emotions passed on from the parents, especially the mother. Trauma and stress will be felt in the womb. There can also be a pattern of ancestral trauma which triggers further trauma in the foetus and child.
Hello,
The recent PET scan shows hydronephroureter (severely dilated ureter and upper left kidney area) and non functioning left kidney due to an obstruction by the 5 cm mass in the lower abdomen/groin area. Could you comment on the spiritual causes of this condition and ways to release it? Many thanks in advance
Hello Melissa, when the kidneys are involved there is always a great deal of hidden resentment and anger due to feeling abandoned and rejected. This has most likely come through your female lineage, as an unresolved need by an ancestor or your mother, who had unresolved feelings of abandonment and rejection, to be heard and the feelings to be finally released. The blockage may be a refusal to let go of the past. Should you like my help to release the root cause of your present condition, you can book a zoom appointment via my appointments page on my website.
Hi 👋 polycystic kidney disease has run in my family for as far back as I know. It has brought much suffering and trauma to my family as many people died early, leaving their young family in desperate situations. Are you aware of a cause of this disease and how to release all the pain from generations past?
Hi Amanda, sorry to hear of all your family’s challenges. This will have originated in ancestral abandonment and betrayal. This situation will have triggered feelings of anger sand resentment that, although hidden behind a veil of fear, would surface in each generation. There will also be some inherited disappointment and shame that needs to be released. Make a decision to call back your power and trust that you will be divinely guide43d. Warm wishes Tony Mills
I had my right kidney removed when I was 21. It was atrophied and the other kidney was 1 1/2 times the normal size. It was believed to be a childhood accident or birth defect. I had gone through a lot of emotional stress for the 10 years leading up to it… having to take on far too much responsibility in my family starting at age 12 due to my parents health issues. I’m 66 now and never thought the two could be related. What are you thoughts on that? This has all come up, by the way, in therapy. I didn’t have nurturing parents, but rather, I was my own nurturer as there was no one else to do it. I’d be interested in your thoughts… Thank you.
Hi Laurie, I can sympathise with all those challenges that you have experienced it would be very difficult not to feel anger and resentment towards your whole situation.

Hi, recently after several years of discomfort, bloating and what i thought was diet related abdomen pain I have discovered 3 large kidney stone on the left. Having been told recently by my mother that she was sorry for abandoning me in my early teens one of the stones has moved from my kidney but is now lodged 10 mm from my bladder. There is still 2 in the kidney and i feel that i am blocked both emotionally and physically.
Hi Steven, assuming that you have seen the doctor, the fact that a stone has moved after an apology from your mother the emotional aspect can be worked on in order to release the rest of the stones.
Hello! I had an intuitive friend tell me a little about pain in the right kidney being associated with emotional release of a masculine figure. In researching this, I found your article, and I’m intrigued. Any UTIs recently had coincidentally occurred after intimacy with a former male partner whom I loved very much. No doubt he is narcissistic based on his actions and behaviors. During a visit with him, I ended up in the hospital for what turned out to be a 9mm stone in my right kidney. All of what was said by my friend and you gives me the chills. I had surgery a few days ago to have it dissolved, and the pain immediately after the procedure was between my right ovary and kidney, and excruciating. Since then, it just feels like my kidney has taken one hell of a beating as I continue to process and purge the dissolved relationship. Very interesting.
Hi Heather, the cause of your kidney problems can be addressed. By working with the emotional pain the kidneys will no longer have to express the physical pain. I can assist you in releasing the emotions, which will also help you attract an appropriate partner.https://energetic-wisdom.co.uk/appointments/
Hi Tony. I have been having a problem walking upright – I’m slightly bent over. I thought it was lower back issues but wonder if it is related to my kidneys and the psoas muscle is overtight. In my job I have given out a lot to help others and wonder if this is related

I appreciate you taking the time to write this, my best friend is going through this so I am hoping to to help. Thanks for sharing the information.
Hello Corey, That must be very challenging for both of you. Should your friend like my help, Zoom appointments can be booked here https://energetic-wisdom.co.uk/appointments/
Hi Tony, first I want to say I sincerely appreciate I found this article.
I think I had UTI first more than 7 years ago. I am 25 yo now and it appears in my life almost every year. In 2019 it was really bad and therefore I also took antibiotics. Ever since I promised myself that it can’t happen again but occasionally I still feel discomfort like it has never left and always take cranberry dietary supplement.
A few months ago I did a detox that included 5 days of fasting. Fasting coming to an end I did feel pain in my left kidney and thought it was only normal as my body is healing and detoxifying. However, looking deeper behind the UTI I have a feeling that everything is in my kidneys as week ago I had a pain in my right kidney for two days (right side of lower back) and every second morning I have symptoms of UTI.
I truly believe everything is deeper than we think and I don’t want to cure the symptoms but heal the root cause of this discomfort I have in my life. I would dearly appreciate any insight as I don’t know where to start or what to do.
Thank you so much for finding the time to respond! I appreciate it.

Hello, I have two kidney stones, one on the right and one on the left – twin 4 mm stones. Already went through excruciating pain for the migration of the left one and expect it to pass any day now. The one on the right is still in my back according to a scan done 5 days ago. Any insight you have as to what the karma is for these stones that would be helpful for my healing process. I’m hopeful that with knowing what the karmic cause was I can do the needed work to dissolve the right one before it migrates. Thank you for your service work and Merry Christmas.
Very sorry to hear about your painful condition. There have been two situations in your past that have triggered painful kidneys. These are abandonment and rejection, resulting in longstanding feelings of anger and resentment. These feelings have been piling up, one on top of the other to form kidney stones.
A happy New Year.
Thank you so much for this powerful wisdom..strongly resonated with this material..just found out I have developed a 5mm stone in the right kidney..I think it’s probably been there for a long time.. feels like it’s anger at not being good enough.. anger at myself and Maybe others too.. I’m not sure.. the left has a small cyst.. but both are pretty acutely painful right now.. any insights would be greatly appreciated.. thank you for sharing your wisdom ❤️🙏
Hello Molly, due to feelings of abandonment and rejection in the past the feelings of anger and resentment have been simmering under the surface. When left long enough these feelings can build up and solidify into kidney stones. In this case towards a male authority figure (right kidney). Alternatively cysts are a way of nursing old hurts. Left kidney, relating to a female authority figure.
So right kidney cyst relates to male authority issue? Very interesting.
Yes.it could be the result of an overbearing male authority figure or your empathy towards a supressed male authority figure (feeling their pain).
Hello – my name is petra I have been diagnosed with kidney disease. it started with me having my first child being so terrified and i also have kidney stones in both kidneys what can i do to heal my kidneys.
Hi Petra, deep down there are feelings of anger and resentment due to feeling abandoned and rejected in your former years. When anger and resentment build up they solidify into kidney stones. Your first child subconsciously reminded you of your birth or you felt your mother’s pain as a baby. I work on Zoom addressing this condition.Warm wishes. Tony Mills.
Was diagnosed with medullary spongey kidneys a birth defect of both kidneys in my late twenties. No issues until then so was never aware of it until I started having frequent kidney stones, kidney infections, UTI’s etc Would love to have a metaphysical explanation of what is going on with me as it has made me very sick off and on over the years . I am now 43 despite and my best efforts to stabilize my condition it seems to progressively be getting worse. My fear is that I will end up on dialysis at some point if I can’t get this under control.
Hi Jennifer, when kidney problems occur there has been situations where abandonment and rejection have occurred. Whether in your lifetime, your parents or even down the ancestral line if the trauma was extreme. The resulting feelings are anger and resentment which solidifies when kidney stones are involved, as the feelings keep on piling up.
I started having kidney stones 2 years ago. I’m 54. Today’s ultrasound revealed more than 10 kidney stones in right kidney and at least 7 in my left kidney. They stopped counting after 10 they said. My 24 hr urine revealed nothing wrong. I recently have high blood pressure now too which is new. I’ve always been slightly anemic but blood tests are good now..
I do various energy modalities etc. Take chanca peidra herb. Use frequencies, rife. Release trapped emotions, etc. Kind of at a loss as they seem to be multiplying. I drink lots of water as well.
Sue
Hi Sue, you have a accumulated a great deal of anger that has been piling up and solidifying, as you have not known how to resolve the unexpressed anger. This would be advisable to address, whether you have the operation or not.This is one of the areas that I help to resolve.https://energetic-wisdom.co.uk/appointments/
I had a CT scan and they found out I have about 3 large kidney stones . They said like 3.1 CM. What do I need to heal or release that helped me form these? I’m having surgery to remove them on Dec 3rd.
Hello,
I am pregnant in 6 months and i have been diagnosed with hydronefrosis stage I. I understand that this dilatation of the kidney is normal in pregnancy, but in my case it manifests with severe right back pain that only goes away after powerful injected medication, not being able to take any other pills on pregnancy.
So my right kidney is very much affected, there is no stone, nor infection.
I read the article and listened the information in the video and I really can say I am a very emotional person, I do put myself in situations where I neglect my needs in favor to others, I do have difficulties in making good decisions for myself, maybe from some sense of fear or shame.
Until the pregnancy I lived a stressful life, had a overwelming job and I permanently struggle to not loose myself in relationship with others.
But the pain that comes!! It is so acute and I am worried it would affect my uterus and baby by giving contractions, because it leaves me shivering and barely breathing until the shots.
So, I do think that before a baby I have to aknowledge all this supressed emotions, because I really want to live in a different, healthier way for my baby, but how exactly I am a suppose to do that? What I am not seeing? What I am not embracing?
Hi Aly, you have come from a childhood where you believed (or made to believe) that you were not good enough. This was completely incorrect as you were a lovely little ‘star’ who believed that she was not allowed to shine. You then spent the rest of your life trying to prove yourself.. This is so damaging for the mind, body and spirit as you run into obstacles at full speed. Also, you will find, that it is so tiring.
The obstacles in your life will be family and friends that have given you feeling of betrayal and injustice. Whenever we try too hard we will always be disappointed with a tendency to punish ourselves for failing. It is time to be gentle and kind to yourself and nurture that little ‘star’ inside you. This is important for you and your future child.
Hi,
I have not been officially diagnosed with any kidney problems. However, on my most recent blood work it shows low BUN levels and low BUN to creatine ratio. I did ct scan and ultrasound and found tiny gallstone in gallbladder. I have changed diet and lost over 25lbs.
I feel Mild flank pain and back pain with skin itching. I did 2 urine cultures, both clean back negative. I don’t know what emotions could cause this. However, I’d like to feel better. Can you help?
Hi Audrey, if you book an appointment on this website we could find and address the cause of your pain and discomfort.
I recently was told after an ultrasound that I have benign mass on my left kidney and 1 stone in gall bladder with slight infection in my uterus. What do you think this all could relate to. And now when i notice I do get every now and then a slight sharp pain as well.
I am concern now as to what could have been the reason behind l this.
Hi Huda, I can see you have a few suppressed emotions that are triggering your conditions. When these are addressed the body will no longer have to express .These are all areas that I can help you release.
I’m scheduled for a CT scan of my left kidney in 10 days. I went in for an ultrasound which revealed cysts in my liver, a cyst in my left kidney and an exterior mass on the left kidney. I’ve been experiencing very low cortisol upon waking and a lot of bloating around my abdomen. For a few years I’ve had an intermittent rash around my lips and angular chelitis and swelling of the skin beneath my eyes, especially the left one. Also what feels like a pulling sensation in my right mid-back area. Is there any specific significance with an issue with the left kidney vs. the right?
The area under your eyes and rashes relate kidneys. Left eye=left kidney. The pulling sensation arises at the 5th thoracic vertebra relating to the liver. The cysts relate to holding on to old painful hurts.
By addressing the feelings the body will no longer have to express them literally. The stronger the condition, the stronger the trapped emotions.
I had a biopsy of my left kidney mass last Friday and got the results yesterday. The diagnosis is a low grade renal cell carcinoma consistent with type 1 papillary renal cell carcinoma. I have an appointment with my doctor in two days to discuss treatment options. What is the metaphysical meaning of this diagnosis? I don’t have the typical lifestyle causes of this type of cancer.
Hi Carmela, look into any betrayal that may have happened in the past that has left you with a feeling of injustice feeling which may not have not been resolved. A feeling of being stabbed in the back by someone who felt like a close relative. With kidney problems there is inevitably, resentment and anger. However, you may feel almost frozen with resentment to a state of feeling cold and emotionally frozen.. As you have lost trust with those around you there may be a tendency to close yourself off from people who want to support you. The reason being a disappointment in those you may initially seen the best in.
My right kidney feels swollen. I can feel it moving the muscle sometimes. There’s no stones or other issues but I get regular kidney infections, always on right side. Recently I have released a lot of emotional blocks and I gave up the need to help ppl a while back. And now another infection. Isn’t releasing emotions and taking care of my needs supposed to make me healthier? 😔
Hi Zoe, there has been a build up of anger and resentment around a male authority figure. Either feeling some kind of abuse or feeling for that person , if close. the inflammation of the kidneys relate to having an over-reaction to disappointment and failure experiences. Infection relates to irritation, annoyance and anger arising from chronic resentment.
I had a pieloplastia of the left kidney last week. For years I suffered from terrible neck and trapecius pain, tight hip flexors… As you say in the video, my bladder was affected too by the constant need to urinate. I have been treated by physios and all sorts of therapists, who told me i needed to relax, get hold to my emotions… But no one has ever explained HOW or how it is all connected. Thank you for this enlightening video.
You are very welcome.
Hi I have noticed my pain in my left kidney sometimes when I walk or run. I first noticed it last year when I was unwell and everytime I start to feel unwell that pain is sharper. Alot of what you mentioned in your video resonates with me because when I went to the doctors because of swollen glands in my neck they just told me it was a viral infection. I was shivering and my bones were hurting. It was scary and the first time I had experienced it. It’s only on the left kidney the right kidney seems fine. So I believe it’s an emotional blockage. How can I unblock it?
The pain in your left kidney will relate to your connection to your mother. The kidneys also have a lot to do with the lymphatic system. Hence the swollen glands. On an emotional and spiritual level I can help you address your challenges. Nutritionally, I can recommend Dr Morse who uses iridology and nutritional support.
