Short excerpt from a YouTube video in which the speaker frames physical pain as a teacher pointing to unresolved emotional blockages (fear, anger, grief). The speaker links these emotional energy blockages to disrupted meridian/blood flow and endorses acupuncture as a treatment that helps 'unblock' the body and restore balance.

Don't get rid of your pain before you understand why it's there. Pain is the teacher. When the pain teacher comes, it's your opportunity to listen. It's your opportunity to learn something. Any emotion that's not been fully integrated that creates an energetic blockage somewhere in any of these systems, any of the organs, whether it's fear, anger, grief, if it's not dealt with, eventually it manifests physically. If you don't have balance and flow in the system and it's stuck, that's where issues come from. Any number of symptoms, mentally, emotionally, physically, it means something's blocked. Which is why I've always loved, loved acupuncture, because acupuncture was designed to unblock meridian flow, unblock blood circulation. So when you do treatment, all you're doing is giving the body a little bit of support to unblock the places it's stuck, which are often emotional and they get stuck physically in the system.
