If you ever had severe back pain, diagnosed as a herniated disc, then you understand the frustration I had.

For many years I was in constant pain, sometimes so bad that I feared for the worst. During my ordeal I tried pretty much all healing modalities available: traditional doctors, naturopaths, herbalists, acupuncturists, physical therapists, massage, psychotherapists, yoga, and meditation. All these methods improved my condition a bit, but the severe back pain came back again.

Two years after my symptoms began, I heard about a new holistic healing system spreading rapidly in Europe. META-Medicine is based on 10 main principles redefining our understanding of disease, healing and health.

According to META-Medicine, each area of our brain corresponds to a specific organ and a specific conflict or trauma, which is called the organ-mind-brain connection. Researchers also found that biological conflict shocks (traumatic life events) always precede disease. If we experience such a biological conflict shock (an event that is unexpected, dramatic and emotional, including separation, fear of death, loss of contact or a territory fight) then our organism reacts with what we call symptoms and disease.

Organs and their biological conflicts

Bladder mucosa

Territory-marking conflict: cannot define boundaries or a position.

Bones

Inferiority conflict: feeling not worthy or good enough, feeling criticized.

Breast ducts

Separation-fear conflict: from mate, child, mother, home.

Breast glands

Worry-argument conflict: with mate, child, mother, home.

Bronchial mucosa

Territory-fear conflict: someone threatening to invade or leave our territory.

Colon

Indigestible-anger conflict: anger about boss, partner.

Eye cornea

Visual-separation conflict: lost sight of someone or something.

Eye retina

Fear-of-attack conflict: fear of something threatening or lurking from behind.

Kidney collecting tubule

Abandonment-isolation conflict: fear of being alone, losing everything or not being adequately supported.

Kidneys parenchyma

Water-fluidity conflict: almost drowned or suffered a flooding.

Lungs alveoli

Fear-of-death conflict: fear of own or death of others.

Skin epidermis

Loss-of-contact conflict: loss of physical contact or contact with mother, family, friends.

Right after the conflict shock we can see synchronous changes and symptoms at all levels of our organism: brain, organ, nervous system, energy field, mind and behavior. Additionally this disease process, which is actually a biological meaningful reaction meant to help and support us, consists of two phases.

First is the stress phase (with cold hands and feet, low appetite, highly stressed, mentally obsessed with the conflict or problem). If we can solve the conflict, then our body can relax and regenerate. In the second regeneration phase we feel tired, exhausted, warm hands and feet, and usually at this point we feel sick.

What is the conflict related to back pain? If every organ is related to a specific conflict, then what exactly was the conflict in my situation and how could that help me heal myself? I was almost shocked at how quick and precise the META-Medicine therapist could tell me – just by asking a few targeted questions – what my conflict shock and symptoms during the two phases were and what exactly I needed to do to fully and completely heal.

Conflict: Self worth, feeling not good enough or not being honest about a very specific issue in my life (in my case, the trigger was fighting with my partner).

Stress phase: Right after one of these fights I was stressed, thinking about the situation all the time, and feeling upset or angry. Physically I did not feel back pain yet. Clinically there’s a cell loss in the bones in the stress phase. If this process continues for a long time, then a diagnosis could be osteoporosis.

Regeneration phase: After the conflict resolution (in my case after a few days, we made up and my anger disappeared). Strange enough now I started to feel exhausted and the pain came back or increased tremendously as part of the regeneration and repair process. This never made sense to me, until now. Knowing that back pain is a symptom of the regeneration phase allowed me to accept the pain as something positive.

Just by becoming aware of the conflict, understanding the two phases of a disease and making the necessary changes in my life, my back pain symptoms started to disappear. Now, my back feels as healthy and strong as ever.
