The Spiritual Cause of Constipation
In my work as a therapist, working within the realms of metaphysics, 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 will be writing about some of the emotional or spiritual causes of constipation and you will learn how your unresolved negative emotions may be the reasons for your current constipation.
As the main purpose of the bowel is to release toxins and what is no longer useful to the body, constipation symbolically can mean there is a reluctance to release old ideas and feelings that no longer serve. Conversely, when we look to the spiritual cause, constipation can be a sign of ‘stuffing down’ our desires and wishes. The body will always reflect our mind and will try to communicate our ‘heart’s desire’ by showing up as an imbalance or ill health in the body.
The spiritual cause of constipation also shows up as being attached to material things with a reluctance to let go, especially when being forced to part with what you have accumulated. This can include money. Various fears can trigger constipation, such as being out of control, fear of change, or fear of being wrong. There may be a reluctance to share ideas or feelings for a fear of displeasing others, being ‘wrong’, or risking the loss of something or someone.
According to Thorwald Dethlefsen & Rudiger Dahlke MD in their book The Healing Power of Illness, the small intestine corresponds to conscious analytical thinking and the large intestine relates to the unconscious. Constipation can then relate to a fear of letting the unconscious contents see the light of day and represents an attempt to keep unconscious, repressed contents locked up within ourselves.
The Spiritual Cause of Constipation can also show up when there is a blockage in the flow of the large Intestine meridian. Some of the related emotions are:
- holding on to things no longer needed,
- guilt,
- lack of self-worth,
- and a need to be in control.

The Spiritual Cause of Constipation and the ileocecal valve
Constipation is very often related to the ileocecal valve, which is located in the lower right quadrant of the abdomen, around the area of the appendix. This valve allows the contents of the small intestine to be released into the large intestine, which then closes up to prevent any backing up of the contents. If this valve sticks open the contents can back up and poison the system. If the valve sticks closed the contents of the small intestine cannot escape. Again, poisoning the system.
The Ileocecal valve is sensitive to your challenging emotions and experienced trauma and in response, can stick open or closed. Feelings relating to your mother, or other influential females in your family, can trigger this important valve, resulting in self-poisoning feelings and a refusal to let go of the past.

Examples of the Metaphysical or Spiritual Cause of Constipation
- TOILET TRAINING. Any embarrassment around potty training, such as shame and guilt can set off a lifetime of holding onto negative emotions which can result in constipation. A child may try to control his parents by refusing to defecate This relates to a resistance to a higher authority or a fear of being out of control
- LOW-FIBRE DIET. Of course, the right food is essential to allow the bowel to function correctly. This includes fibre-rich food such as fruit and vegetables and plenty of water. It is beneficial to avoid meat, dairy, and grains, as they can aggravate constipation. For some healthy diet advice, check out Medical Medium.
- ANXIETY This can create a tightening of not only the structural muscles of the body but also the internal valves. Clamping down can be a way of avoiding feelings, such as fear of change, and holding in emotions, as by bottling up what you feel, you can suffer from constipation. Being more aware of why you are holding in your opinions as well as your bowel movements and being more courageous in meeting any disapproval can alter the whole situation.
- THYROID PROBLEMS When the thyroid is underactive (hypothyroid) everything becomes stuck and sluggish. This very often results in depression and lethargy, which is reflected in the digestive 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!

I’m glad to have found your page. I’ve been experiencing constipation for about 2 months I’d say, though I have bouts of it from time to time. This time it has been accompanied with anxiety and panic attacks. I see a lot of contributing factors and I see this relationship to mother wounds that you have highlighted. This is something I feel is particularly up for me as I am living with my partner’s mother and it is bringing up a lot of my own childhood/mother issues and even now some resentment towards people I have never felt that way toward. We are also starting a business and I really want to clear my field and these blocks before we really get going with that. Any insights you have are so deeply appreciated.
Hello Jenny. You are living your childhood pains and trauma and being constantly reminded by the Prescence of
your partner’s mother. To bring the situation into a future business is not ideal. To move forward you have to
let go of the old trauma. If you want help with this, go to: https://energetic-wisdom.co.uk/appointments/

Hi Tony! I have struggle with constipation issues most of my adult life, but they have gotten worse as I’ve gotten older. I keep getting the feeling that I need to poop, but very little comes out. The pressure and pain is awful! I drink a fair amount of water, and have been changing my diet to ad more fiber, but I think the underlying cause is either from a past life, or from emotions. Can you please offer me some insight? Thank you! I’m deeply grateful…..
Hi Anita, you may have a stubborn resistance to work out a problem. You may, even refuse to relate to it.
There may be a refusal to release old ideas, ending up stuck in the past. This could relate to a power struggle
with your mother that you have never won or let go of.

Good Day, I had a dream that I was assisting my bowel movement to come out with my hands. What are your thoughts? I do in my waking life have issues with emotions. How to I manage them in a way that is healthy?
Hi Tony
I experience constipation regularly that has led me to begin to uncover why. I recently had a plant medicine journey and sexual trauma became aware (either mine or ancestral).
I hold so much tension in this area and have always had health struggles with my colon (operations and remove appendix)
I am feeling hopeless but feel that I have so much subconscious blocks and tension there
is there anything you would advise?
Hi Hillary,
Not only have you experienced your trauma but there can be a great deal of trauma passed down from your mother. What lies beneath could be a lack of nurturing. If you want assistance in addressing your challenges so that the body does not need to express them literally, you can book a Zoom appointment here on my website:https://energetic-wisdom.co.uk/appointments
Hello Tony.
My daughter is 15 and an abdominal scan revealed that she is filled with fecal matter that hasn’t been eliminated hence ongoing issues with severe constipation. Lately she has felt nauseous every time she eats and is experiencing some pain. She is being referred to have an endoscopy etc. Is there any insight you can share please. Thank you so much. Georgia
Hello Georgia,
Your daughter is refusing to let go of old idea, as well as a stubborn refusal to work on certain ideas. She may feel angry and resentful if encouraged to let go as she feels that nothing comparable would replace it. There may be a poverty consciousness in the family or ancestors that have triggered these feelings. Warm wishes.
Hey Tony, as of recently, I was told by the doctor that my left kidney is not draining enough, as my bladder gets filled up and I often need to run use the restroom. My static’s nerve on my left side has been bothering me as of last few weeks as well as pain in my lower back. Please advise me how this can be resolved. Thank you!
Hi Jenny, you have anger and resentment due to feeling abandoned and rejected, either by your mother or feeling your mother’s abandonment and rejection. The sciatica reflects being hypocritical to yourself with a fear of speaking your truth.

Hi Jennifer, you have emotional issues relating to your mother. Either suppression or carrying her pain. Either way it has left you feeling angry and resentful due to abandonment and rejection.
The sciatica relates to feeling the anger and resentment and being unwilling to express your truth for the fear of hurting others. Sciatica is being hypocritical to yourself. Trying to please, yet resenting what has to be done. Warm wishes.
Hi there,

Hello Tony Mills. My name is Patricia, I have been searching to read about diabetic type 2, which is what I have, I’m taking medication which I dislike. Do you speak about diabetes, could you recommend same way such meditation or food which a have a Mediterranean diet. I feel that medication affects my stomach , feeling bloated specially after lunch . I thank you if you could reply to me . Kind regards Patricia Koby
This is my blog on the spiritual and emotional causes of diabetes:
Hi Tony! I’ve just come across your article which made total sense. I’ve been completely reluctant to spiritually let a relationship go and it’s affecting me so badly now. It was a 4 year relationship that ended with a beautiful two weeks traveling through India. My mind and body were ready to move on but parts of me were not ready to let go. I didn’t think it would impact me this way (pun intended) but for three weeks now I’ve been miserable but not about letting him go. Thank you for your article. I will focus on severing the energetic tie that we created 4 years ago now.
Hi Ashley, I am glad to have given you some insight, which will allow your power to return. Warm wishes. Tony
Thanks Tony kinda makes sense I was so stressed last year to get into colleges and didn’t want to disappoint my parents and was in very competitive Environment. What can i do to resolve or heal .
Hi Sejal, I recommend booking an appointment in order to release the emotional cause of your problem.
Hey tony , I have been going through something called chronic cholingeric urticaria and i get this hives all over my body whenever I exercise, go out in sun, or by stress ,in short when my body heats up .its been happening since 9months and can’t find answer even my doctor doesn’t know.it would be helpful if you know what’s happening
Hello Sejal, an underlying conflict with one of your parents could be related to unresolved ancestral trauma. The onset of the hives was triggered when you were confronted with unpleasant circumstances {similar to your ancestors), which you made negative associations with during childhood. In this case, it has been the environment. You feel invaded by people who are supporting you.
