Spiritual Cause of Arthritis
In my work as a therapist, I look for the root cause of health or emotional challenges, and using my own unique healing methods, I assist my clients back to health and well-being. In this article, I shall outline a few of the emotional or spiritual causes of arthritis, such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
Healing arthritis begins with understanding where it first originated and addressing the root, emotional cause.
According to metaphysical teacher, Louise Hay, there are feelings of being unloved, together with an underlying criticism and resentment.
What Are The Physical Signs of Arthritis?
(arthro=joint, itis=inflammation)
Before I give some examples of the emotional or spiritual causes of arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and osteoarthritis, first let’s understand the physical impact of these painful conditions.
Although our joints are sealed and self-lubricated and designed to last a lifetime, under certain conditions they can become inflamed and painful, and even freeze and lock in position.
OSTEOARTHRITIS is believed to be caused by wear and tear of the joints and the cartilage that cushions the impact on the joint gradually deteriorates. At the worst, the smooth surfaces roughen and eventually disintegrate, leaving a painful bone-to-bone contact that restricts movement.
RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS is not as common as osteoarthritis, as it is an autoimmune disease that causes painful inflammation and swelling which can travel to different joints in the body.
Which Emotions Trigger Arthritis?
Now, let’s look at the emotional or spiritual causes of arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and osteoarthritis.
There is a similarity of emotional causes between rheumatoid arthritis, and osteoarthritis.
However, on the whole, those with osteoarthritis tend to project their feelings outward, whereas those with rheumatoid arthritis are more self-critical or self-destructive.
Emotional or Spiritual Cause of Osteoarthritis
- Feeling trapped, resentful, and angry.
- You have never felt that you could focus on your own goals.
- When expressing your feelings you were often made to feel guilty or ashamed for expressing these feelings.
- By doing things for others you have often forgotten to attend to your own needs.
- This has resulted in feeling controlled and trapped by the needs of others.
- Your reaction has been becoming rigid and inflexible in your relationships.
- You punish yourself due to your feminine aspect being wounded. Compassion and nurturing are withdrawn. This may have been replaced with feelings of bitterness and judgment, with a need to control others.
- There may be some held-in hatred for mother or father, as old anger destroys flexibility.
- Unable to compromise creates physical inflexibility.
Emotional or Spiritual Cause of Rheumatoid Arthritis
- There may be a fear of co-dependency causing you to feel controlled and trapped.
- There is a fear of saying “no” due to a fear of being rejected and abandoned.
- Childhood conditioning may have made you feel that you deserve to be punished for being a bad person and not being good enough.
- You could have been manipulated into doing and accepting things and circumstances that brought you no joy.
- Rheumatoid arthritis takes over when the creative expression has been suppressed. There can be anger festering towards the person who stopped your joy.
- Due to suppression in the past, there may now be a lack of courage and conviction.

Tied to these feelings are holding on to feelings of hostile opinions and beliefs. Any long-term tension or depression can settle in the joints. To give an example from the late, Martin Rush, M.D.
Mixed feelings can create problems in a particular joint, for example, the elbow, part of you wants to move in one particular direction, but part of you wants to move in the opposite direction. If both muscles are pulling at the same time around the joint, it sets up tension in the joint, which tends to impede the circulation. After a time, it hurts, swells, and finally deteriorates, becomes fixed and locked.
Suppose you want to punch a troublesome person in the nose ( you want to extend the elbow). Suppose that person is your dear old father and you don’t want to hurt him (you want to contract the elbow). These feelings can be unconscious. If your father is very often in your feelings or he lives in the same house as you, your elbow is tense most of the time.
One of the biggest barriers to overcoming arthritis is the need to be right. This can leave a person with rigid thinking, uncompromising and rigid. The body will express it accordingly. Alternatively, there can be a belief that it is wrong to get angry. This may have been a learned belief from childhood. The result is repressed anger that can ‘eat oneself up’.
IMPORTANT TO NOTE: The information above is only a small representation of the many metaphysical or spiritual causes of arthritis. If you choose to recruit my help, we will also work through releasing the rest of the build-up of crystalised negative emotional energies in your system.

About My Work & How I Could Help You
My work as a Soul Whisperer is to help you to communicate with your soul’s needs and desires. Your current health challenges are a result of a build-up of unresolved negative emotions and pre-programming, often from your childhood. Your soul expresses these unresolved negative emotions first through your thoughts.
Should you fail to listen to the messages that are crying out to be heard, these messages become stronger and harder for you to ignore. They then become manifestations of pain, discomfort, or ill-health. Your soul must find a way to get you to take action.
Your soul probably brought you to my website today!

HEALING YOUR BODY WITH HEALTHY FOODS
My wife, Annie, is very intuitive and by listening to her body, she was guided to eat a plant-based, wholefood diet, avoiding gluten, dairy, eggs, cheese, and processed foods. This also resonated with me, and we also stopped drinking alcohol.
Currently, we follow the guidance of Medical Medium where you will also find lots of free advice and knowledge and Dr. Morse. You will learn things such as the need for protein is a lie, and many vegan body-builders suffer arthritic conditions as a result of consuming a lot of protein.
Medical Disclaimer: While shamanic practices/spiritual healing is not a replacement for conventional medicine, it is often used successfully as a compliment. Holistic therapy of this nature has been shown to help many people, where other methods have failed. Always consult a physician about any physical or mental problems you may have.

Good day my name is Engela.. I have arthritis in my hole body.. And olso osteoporosis and osteoarthritis.. What can be the spiritual cause of my situation.. Thank you.
Hi Engela. Your conditions started when you have been under tremendous stress with no healthy outlet for your anger and frustration. The lesson is that you should learn how to delegate and ask for support. You have been running away from problems; often unresolved issues with your parents that made you feel unsafe, unloved or inadequate.
You often feel like the direct target of anger and resentment. You have a fear of rocking the boat in the family if you need to express yourself.
Hi I am interested in speaking with you are you available anytime tommorrow or today
Hi Chevene, I’m kept quite busy, so it’s best to either book an appointment or email me with your question via the contact form on my website. Tony
Omg Thank you so much for this article it’s so helpful. I was diagnosed with RA 12 years ago and the inflammation was somewhat under control with a few flare ups through out the years but the last two years my wrists have been so swollen and nothing has been working for me. The doctor added more medicines, along with cortisone shots but nothing has work. I went for acupuncture and a gluten and dairy free diet and I saw some improvement but my wrists are still super swollen. I feel I’ve tried everything.
I had very conservative parents and currently have a very controlling, jealous husband. For the last two months I’ve been trying to heal myself with meditation and praying and I feel better emotionally but my wrists are still swollen and painful. I do believe there is an underlying emotional cause for this illness and all your information is very insightful, many of the feelings you mention resonate with I have felt but can you be more specific about the spiritual cause of arthritic wrists? Thank you.
Hi Paulina, RA talks to you, but also you, which you have been addressing. However the wrists are expressing your difficulty in articulating and carrying out your intentions and you will be concerned about your ability to move through life with ease. There will be a history of being held accountable for all that went wrong in your family. You then get drawn to a relationship that continues that program.
There is also something you want to do but are not doing.. You were expected to ‘make things right for the family’. You have a deep conflict between your responsibilities and your own personal interests
” I now choose to support myself in loving, joyous ways.” Louise Hay.
Hi Toni !
Thank you for your help honestly . This is my first time reading about spiritual reasonings behind arthritis. I began seeing signs of joint pains at the age of 16 now I’m 25 with diagnosed arthritis in my lower back. I am actively working on breaking generational curses , as well as shifting paradigms within myself and my daughters. Life was always very difficult for me growing up in a poor minority household that was abusive and very toxic . I always took myself to church growing up and maintained my own spiritual connections although I never an actual mentor , God always used people to teach me lessons . I’ve had abusive relationships , Ive almost died giving birth , I’ve saved lives and I’ve seen miracles . My name is Miracles and I believe I was brought into this world to heal people and bring light to the darkness . I am meant to heal the young girls souls . But I feel my body weak and in pain . I am eating plant based and focusing more on enjoying the moment . But I struggle with speaking my truth and expressing myself . I need to cut ties with negative people in my life , but I suffer so much just with the thoughts of abandoning those who aren’t good for me . I really believe in my powers and manifestation abilities, I just can be easily manipulated and can be a pushover.
If you want help with this Miracles, you can book an appointment to see if some of these painful memories can be released. https://energetic-wisdom.co.uk/appointments/
As of recently,I’ve been having severe bone pains and bone deformation of my left index finger and little finger with stiffness and a spur on my index and second finger. Now I’m noticing abnormal bone formation on my right index finger. My thumb on my left hand is getting knobby. I don’t want to believe it is arthritis, but by all indications it appears to be osteoarthritis.
Life started off very good for me. I went to college, got a degree in medicine and thought I had life by the hand. Then about 17 years ago I was accused of health care fraud and went to prison for 11 years. Since that time,everything about life has changed. I’m a firm believer that what’s happening inside affects you outside. Now I don’t have the confidence or strong belief or optimism needed to move forward. I keeps trying to tell myself I’m fine, but at a cellular level I know I’m not. I have forgiven myself, the prosecutor, judge and my defense attorney but nothing seems to have helped.
On reading your information I feel it would be quite difficult to let go of all that has happened to you without some underlying resentment.
Although your childhood did not show up as challenging, your parents childhood and history has to be taken into consideration.
Extreme ancestral trauma with a similar theme can have a big effect on our lives, which leaves a deeply hidden resentment. A certain stubbornness can also block thee healing process.
These are areas that I address, as the physical condition is expressing those deep, painful feelings.
What would be the spiritual reasoning behind the joints in my fingers being so inflamed and painful? I think it’s also in my feet and wrists but my hands hurt so bad I don’t want to do anything and can’t because my fingers lock up which is frustrating along with being painful. I’m 2 weeks shy of being 30 and I don’t think I should be feeling like this. I finally brought it up to my doctor and I thought she was going to brush it off or think I was seeking drugs (former heroin addict but I’ve been clean 6 years). But thankfully she said we need to do bloodwork and check it out.
With arthritic fingers, there will be a hidden desire to punish and blame, together with feeling victimised. Taking painkillers can temporarily ease the pain. Addressing the emotional cause is vey important.
You are being rejected for who you are, in the sense of being unappreciated. This can leave you with repressed resentment and anger. You are feeling very victimised and put upon. By seeing everyone with love the inflammation can dissipate.
What is the root cause of hip impingement.
I feel this would have to be more defined, as it could have covered the actual hip joint, sacroiliac joint, sacrum or coccyx?
What could be the cause of right elbow pain?
There is a difficulty in coordinating your means of manifesting your priorities and resources.
What could be the cause of right elbow pain? Thank you! Thats definitely something to think about! I appreciate you so much 😇🙏🏽💗💜
Elbow problems in general relate to resisting changes in the direction in your life and holding off new experiences,. The right elbow relates to difficulties in coordinating your means of manifesting your priorities and resources.
What a great article. I’m experiencing arthritis in my pinky and ring finger on right hand, as well as index fingers on both hands. I totally understand what you’ve shared here. Thank you!
What about osteoarthritis in the feet? What’s the spiritual or emotional issue here? I’ve been using custom made orthotics but feel that they could be making it worse. I feel the need to re-learn how to walk again.
The feet represent a fear of the future and . There is an inability to stand on your own decisions in moving forward. The arthritis adds criticism and resentment with a feeling of being unloved.
Hi
Is this really true about Spirituality and health, I have pain in both knees, but I’ve been told it’s age related and also wear and tear, maybe arthritis, I’m curious to know how does that even relate to our emotions and certain parts of the body, I definately I am bitter because I can’t seem to get what I want in life, wouldnt that make someone depressed mentally rather than joints being affected? I find it hard to comprehend or how it’s related to joints
Your body is like your best friend as it seeks to tell you the truth. Not only can I go much deeper with your conditions but also help you address them The following quotes from Louise Hay give you a short simplified emotional cause;
Arthritis: Feeling unloved, criticism and resentment.
Knee problems: Stubborn pride and ego. Inability to bend. Fear. Inflexibility. Won’t give in.
