An excellent book, “When the Body Says No: The Hidden Cost of Stress”

Honestly, I completely agree with this. I've suffered from extremely serious back pain, and during quarantine, I quit my high-pressure job, evaluated my lifestyle, and uncovered/dealt with a lot of hidden emotional pain, which, coupled with a healthy, physical lifestyle, actually helped my back pain that's persisted for half a decade, DISAPPEAR. This video is the TRUTH! It's not just about getting rid of the pain, it's about dealing with the underlying emotional pain that caused it! Thank you Teal!!

Your timing couldn't be better for me!

I love that Teal is doing a video about a specific physical ailment!!! More of those please! 😁😁😁

As a massage therapist and former back pain sufferer I realised this a while ago, this is truth!!

I've been suffering from back pain for the past few years now and I'm only 25. Lately I have been thinking a lot about all the different ways that this could be a result of my emotional issues. Listening to you so eloquently validate insights that I previously had but wasn't quite sure about, and also giving me new perceptions provided me with a lot of clarity and direction to really want to deal with the root cause of this. Teal, you make my internet bill worth paying.

My back pain was 12, and cause was when my mom yelled at me, and I said I'm out of that situation now, I got myself out of that situation, and I'm safe, and I'm protected now.

My back pain comes and goes when I have major stress in my life. I’ve felt like I had no control in my life. This is so true.

This is also true for chronic digestive symptoms & headaches & other chronic pain such as fatigue/anxiety/depression/nerve stuff/etc. with no (medical) explanation, and even with some (medical) explanation. For those suffering, research mind-body healing (Dr. John Sarno, Nicole Sachs, and many more people guiding the process in addition to Teal). Not to say it's easy to just release repressed emotion and patterns of perfectionism, saying yes when we mean no, and also the realization of ancestral / childhood trauma, etc.- it's a process, but it's absolutely possible- I'm in the process and it's working- as long as I'm patient and loving with myself. Thanks Teal - this is absolute true.

My father suffered from back pain throughout my childhood and I always sensed that he saw his family as a burden. He always said my mother did nothing and he had to do everything and do all the thinking.

Teal this is insane I've been dealing with back pain all morning. The timing is incredible. thank you for making this video so much

I came for copper and found gold

I am blown!! .. every morning I wake up with back pain and this started a couple months ago...Its painful and stiff and I feel a bit better in the day.... Thank you Teal

I realized my back pain is a result of wanting to be seen as a “good person”, because growing up I was taught a “good person” always says yes no matter how I feel, is “nice” to everyone even if that means betraying the Self, and always being happy/strong for other people (basically faulty belief: Love is Conditional)... now it’s time to take care of the Self, because I am a person too & I deserve it, & that will never be taken away ❤️

Last video: "This is probably the biggest callout of my career" Me: Eh This video: "Ok so back pain!" Me: Cries for half an hour

I am emotionally moved by this I suffered from ulcerative colitis for several years and I'm grateful to God that it didn't go south I found a good I should say great psychologist someone who cared the disease again ulcerative colitis was in my head repressed memory repressed emotions had to surface, be felt, and dealt with. it was hard work but it's saved my life that's why I'm grateful to people like Teal may your higher power always bless your soul. ✌️

Physio is amazing. It addressed where I was stressing my body in reaction to anxiety, and the pain made it go run away. Correcting the spine actually helped my mental health a lot.

Thank you Teal for this confirmation video. 💞 I realized this mental-physical pain connection years ago after i became partially paralyzed for 3 months after an accident ... It was after nearly losing a parent, getting into a car accident, getting a divorce & losing my job all within 3 months... My mind could no longer handle anything so it forced me to just take a break by putting my body in a full-stop mode. I only gained back my mobility once i realized that I had a lot of emotions/concerns to deal with & that just plowing through life wasn't helpful at all. 😁

Watching this for all the wisdom even though I'm not experiencing back pain

Does this mean that being in healthy relationships is a way to heal chronic pain and experience a happier life?

Teal Swan NEVER disappoints! GREAT vid💪🏾

It’s interesting how our language even comes up with sayings to express these energetic truths. “Bending over backward for someone” or “breaking your back to get something done”. I find that with other things in the body and emotions too ❤

Thank you. You’re the best ever in the world.

Im so relieved that Teal takes interest in such! What a great approach! Im all over this!

Gosh Teal. This was like you spoke to me directly!😱. It summed it all up! I have worked as a registered nurse or 37 years. I love people! But I’m fed up with a system drowning in irrelevant administrative procedures, incoherent management and treatments based on drugs and surgery instead of teaching people to become responsable for their own health. My back pain has been there for years ans has now led into some serious issues. Meaning: my ticket out of nursing. Financial responsibilities have kept me there. Fear of lack. Lack of different things... I will listen to your video several times, as it will help me to dive deeper into this. Thank you for your work Teal!

Teal is always in touch with the dominant energies in the collective, this is why her videos are always so timely. I threw my back out at the beginning of June 2020. I didn't injure it in any way, I just woke up one day and my lower back was extremely stiff and sore and it lasted for a full week. It was Teal's video on "how to talk to your pain" that really helped me at that time in addition to a lot of stretching and refusing to stay in stasis. Thank you Teal for this video specifically addressing back pain.

You really do scare me sometimes with the timing of these videos. Thank you. I love you.

Can we be great full for having TEAL in our life. Thanks dear 💯♥️

Dear Teal, please make a video on social anxiety. 💕

Needed this 4 months ago and figured it out with your videos and doing shadow work and back therapy. Apparently I've always felt unsupported and uncomfortable and ungrounded due to an unstable father figure. The pain usually comes on when I feel really unsafe.

It's phenomenal to me that you always post videos that are exactly what I need to hear at that time. Thank you!

I would love to see an episode about teeth and the meaning of tooth decay

Thank you! I'm in the middle of a flare up from autoimmune DIS eases and I know that it's because I'm having so many cptsd triggers recently. I no longer partake in any type of Western medicine and I'm trying to figure out how to heal my mind, body and emotional wounds. I have learned that you have to be your own doctor. I appreciate you Teal for sharing your wisdom, love and light. 🙏😇😇😇😇

How insane! Just listening to this has eased most of the pain I've been experiencing, which means Ill have to dig a bit deeper. Thank you for sharing.

Literally woke up with back pain today. I just thought "well I'm pregnant and there are things you just got to suffer through." You gave me something to really think about.

I’ve appreciated your videos since I was 18, I’m 25 now thank you Teal ✨🕊🤍

I have full responsibility always have- my back pain is terrible & I'm getting a new hip soon lol I believe this lady 100%

Thank you for this Teal! I have had back pain since 2017, it came on when I was stuck in a crappy dead-end job where I was being verbally abused and financially exploited. It made me feel sick having to go in every day. Suddenly it totally figures why it all started when it did! The points about self-bulldozing / not acknowledging ones own limits and also lack of personal support really struck a chord with me! The dominant emotion for me on that last exercise was overwhelm. So many valuable insights in this video, thank you!

You pick the subjects that resonates with my everyday life! I love you Teal Swan!! Thank you for helping me. You have been guiding me for years since I hit rock bottom!

Thank you, Teal! I also find that awareness helps a lot. To be aware of when in my day to day life I feel tension and to breathe into it. Breathing relaxes the body and opens you up energetically. It’s much easier to deal with stressful situations and to problem solve if I breathe consciously. Just the other day I was having an argument with my partner and I noticed tension in my body. I took a deep breath and could suddenly see a good way to proceed in the situation that I hadn’t seen before. My pattern changed because of it.

Love this video 🙏🏻so many people need to hear this, hopefully they can listen and stop hiding behind their chronic pain.

Thanks for always having my back--- The versatility of your messages is always appreciated and nurturing to say the least.

Teal, thank you for sharing. The examples, wow, you make it easy to understand it. Good job to you and your team.

I am crying my heart out because I didn't know all this pain had an underline cause and it felt like she was reading all my life. I am so grateful I found this channel today. Thank you thank you!!!!!

Been having lower \ sacrum back pain for years ... it’s almost 24\ 7 ... Makes a lot of sense... with My anxiety disorder this totally goes hand and hand... I’m going to try my best to take this information and change somethings up ASAP!!!!!

Thank you, Teal! I’ve dealt with back pain since for over 25 years and I’m tired of it. But I’m also the oldest of 5 and a child of a teen parent and I don’t want to do these burdens anymore.

Wow Teal! So amazing! You're timing is impeccable with this! I was dealing with this back pain this morning, and i have scoliosis since a child. This is so true, im currently ending my current relationship because i don't feel supported by him any longer and yes i am a bit of a perfectionist too! Cool to know the underlying meaning and i will work on this things and be more aware of it. Thank you!! 😊💜💖💜💖

I love you!! You're this bad ass, awesome, intelligent, wise, compassionate, sister I look up to and admire and derive a lot of healing from. Thank you!

This is exactly what’s going on with me but with migraines. I also have back pain since a few months. But the whole reasoning behind it is spot on! Thank you💕

THIS is why i subscribe to you. This was incredible and completely touched on all the reasons things are the way they are, got some thinking to do -- THANK YOU

I've actually watched every single video on this channel. Not disappointed.

I’m in the fear of movement now...I’m so tense I can’t relax for two years now since an accident, so I appreciate this video I’ll do the work thank you!

Incase You'd Rather Read About It: tealswan.com/resources/articles/how-to-cure-back-pain-r410/

Thank you so much, dear Teal :) I really hope this kind of videos become a series...or even a book :D

Wow what a timing ❤️ Just arrived home in even more pain than usual and saw this was uploaded an hour ago.

I had terrible neck pain for the last 4 days and the suggested question in this video worked like a charm! Thank you 🙏🏻

Oh wow, what a great video, thought it was an older video but it was posted today! Thank you for always providing amazing content teal

Please do a video on how to validate yourself. I can’t get validation from people in my life but I feel like validating myself is just me kidding myself

Yesterday my back began to hurt for no reason. Today this video pops up in my recommended. Love it.

Thank you teal swan, I'm having pain from past life periodically, I feel like you could apply this to that.

Teal Swan, thank you SM🙏. You explain concepts and linkages so well🤗.

Wow! Breathing straight into my back actually had an instant effect, from the first breath! Never realised that could be done. Thank you for the tip!

Unreal how much this relates to what’s been going on with me. Thank you soo much

"Suffering is your labour of love to know yourself." - Avatar Meher Baba. 💖🙏

i see people with a "strong" lower back (that have that integrated) to be people that have integrity. that's for sure... i feel that intuitively that its a sign of strength

Good luck Teal.great work.hope it continues.

Thank you for bringing this aspect of back pain into perspective! Really helpful ♥️✨

Thank you so much for this video. It hit me so much because I've been struggling with backpain for more than 6 years now (I'm 23 years old), but it was espeially bad after my car accident 3 years ago. Alot has changed in my life, 2 years ago i was in a dark place and fortunately a heartful dog found me. He safed my life as well because although all the pain, we went outside for a walk 4 times a day and I sometimes had to carry him, as he was afraid of many things. We helped each other so much, i helped him overcome his fears vise versa and he made me move everyday despite the pain. I could never express how greatful i am for my sweet dog. Since almost 2 months I am now out of a toxic relationship which lasted 5.5 years. Its hard at the moment but I realized the same as you said Teal. Since I conciously started experiencing and trying to express my pain emotionally, my back pain started to decrease every day. I now started to see my burdens for what they are. Thank you so much! God bless you Teal ❤ much love to you from Switzerland

I am just drawn to you Teal Swan. You speak the truth!!

Please a video about KNEE PAIN ❤️

Never thought I was going to NEED this video.

On point Teal, on point🌹

Thank you Teal! This video could be beneficial for my grandma. She has back pain.

Omg!!! The Mother with the children! And the timing of this video!!! ❤❤❤ getting out the bed now. Thank you!

This resonates so much and helps to connect the dots. Thank you so much!

thanks hun. needed that love

The timing 🙏🏻🌸 so activating thank you!

What a timing!

This is making me emotional. Thank you, Teal. 🌱🙏💝

Thank you so much Teal, words cannot describe my gratitude for you and for me being able to understand yours words and expand my consciousness, being able to heal by my own. I would love to meet you one day just to say thank you.

Excellent explanation, Teal. That's exactly how I cured my backpain but it is not easy... simple principle but oh so hard to do with constant pain. Keep focus in the NOW - moment to moment awareness - imagining as if you didn't have pain and carried on. Exceptionally challenging when you are in pain but the only way out is IN. Stay with it, don't skip. It slows you down for a reason. Sometimes it just means acceptance, taking a big breath or as simple as doing the dishes. Nothing major, you go from one second to another.... and face it. No running from the pain.. xx..

Absolute synchronicity!

just found you on a chakra video :) you have very strong presence like i never saw in a woman before you radiate respect and love

Literally on the day my back pain kept me up all night. Good timing!

Love you deeply Teal

Amazing Teal 🙏 Thank You!

Wow! Great content. Thank you. Your videos have really evolved. Keep going. xxx

Oh man. As you were talking I noticed tension in my neck/upper back. I brought my attention to it and the response voice said, "Why do you always leave me behind?"

Perfect...u read my mind!! Thanks for enlightening me on my BACKPAIN! 👍

Ohh wow! Thank you for that one! Gave me so many answers, I’m trying to resolve my mysterious back pain for almost 8 months now. Now i see I have some work to do if I really want to solve this. And this video just great, the information so helpful! Thank you!!

So many of your videos arrive at the time I need the words and guidance most, thank you for this :)

Thank you Teal. I am a painter, and I love my work. At the same time, it does take control and a drive toward excellence (perfection.) So I am and stay tense. Yesterday after mudding and sanding; I was finally able to start getting some color on the walls, which is great and exciting to me. Yet by the time I got home, I was having spasms in my lower back. I did use my TENS unit; and I found myself numbing out with food and even wanting a drink, which I haven't had in some time. After all that and talking with my back I realized a point where right before I left the job site, the home owner came down to the basement where I am working. I was talking with him, and somewhere in the middle of what I was saying I began to disassociate. I lost my train of thought. I could not remember what I was saying. I know that can happen without it being disassociating, yet I felt dizzy, confused and separate, and I could not get back to my original train of thought. This makes the 3rd time recently I have realized myself disassociating. Which makes me ponder is this something new, or is it I am just now realizing it? The two times I realized last week was due to a dear friend experiencing trauma much like mine in early childhood. The home owner broke my routine. Of course he'd want to see the day's work. I do above average work and charge adequately for it, and the guys before me did a crap job. At the same time, the home owner is asking me questions about parts and a room not in the original scope as if he can't remember. Last night I realized he damned well knows and is doing it like he is paying for my time, as the work is going more quickly than expected. When no, the job is bid via footage of area to be done, not by my time. It was incredible to realize these things my back had to say and show me!

You are so right . Back pain is feeling unsupported and still keep going because you have to . I had a severe pack pain with prolapsed disk which put me out of order for a long time . Pain was trying to teach me something I could not resolve it did not know how ? Intuitively, I knew I had to something differently , but what ? It was time to grew spiritually , I had to heal emotional trauma and let go of people who were somewhat toxic. It is a way to get closer to higher self and trust God and relay on him for everything , which is hard as human we feel we have to Do and forget how to Be . Saying Yes to good things in life and learn how to say No. Control is part of it , let God takes control ! Let go ..’ cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you ‘!

Solid gold advice Teal! 🌟🌌💫

Finding this video at the right moment!!! Thank you Teal ❤️

I've had chronic illnesses and pain and suicidal tendencies since birth. I tried living a "normal" life despite all my struggles and then anxiety & depression was added to the mix. After I quit my job and made many lifestyle changes (stopped seeing drs, stopped driving, stopped taking meds, stopped wearing highheels and bad shoes, stopped sitting, stopped going out in public, etc) I got much better. It has been hell on eath but I've learned coping skills and am grateful for the time I have to honor my body and its limits. I still have pain 24/7 but walking helps, animals help, marijuana helps, stretching helps, massage and self-pleasure helps, and laying down is good. Thanks for addressing the emotional and mental aspects of this. Really cant wait for the next life tho.

I’ve had chronic back pain for a long time. Just been crying today asking for help from universe - for the only time since I found Teals videos over two years ago, did I suddenly pick up my phone and see this video - exactly twelve minutes after it was released. Ok universe. You’ve got my attention. And I am definitely not as powerless as I have been feeling at manifesting support for myself. Thank you Teal. This was a lot to process and I have been crying my head off watching this. Just realised the reason I have had excruciating back pain that made me suicidal for years was because I don’t really want to go back into the world as it is, the hostile /jarring/miserable place when kind people are quiet and most humans I’ve met are f*cked up nasty aggressive folks who love to abuse me as my own parents did. My back is protecting me from being a scapegoat to the world - I have often felt too soft/kind/unprepared for people’s horrible shadows and abuse because I don’t know how to function that way and feel I have no armour to stop them from projecting onto me and triggering my own trauma (which of course I don’t use to abuse others but which tortures me). How do I even resolve the unworkability of a lifetime of terror of other people attacking me anytime I try to have hope in life/others? There’s too much darkness. I have done SO MUCH work healing myself but I just do NOT want to exist in this world the way it is. I don’t fit in anywhere, have no family to depend on and have had my spirit broken (and back too, ha!) so severely that even in moments of calm I look around and wish I belonged to another species, that treated each other more kindly. Either way, thanks for this Teal. I feel you are one of the very very very few people in my reality (even though I don’t know you Personally) who understands severe trauma of being born to parents who actively/ passively severely abused me and have set me up for many many horrific incidents that came later. I have done much hard work to improve my vibration but I do feel hopeless to ever feeling safe in this world and having the support I need to want to stick around and experience some few years of joy and peace - and to my back ever being fully healed I sometimes wish I could just close my eyes and leave. Too much contrast has filled me with despair that I will never find my tribe. I wish to be indifferent to it all but don’t know how to. I shall try and contemplate on the stuff you said in your video. I feel such deep grief and heaviness as I write this comment - time to go release this as best as I can. 🙏🏼🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

YES!! to all of this but: STRETCH STRETCH STRETCH DAILY!!! (Specially if you are sitting in a computer all day!)

so useful Teal, thank you!!! i'm a physical therapist and I would love more of this videos ♥️

OMG! This makes so much sense and applies to me in every single way (as I sit here on ice because of back pain)!!! Thank you for this video!
