Emotional aspect of bone pain

The bones represent the structure of our body, without them we could not sustain our muscles and organs, we would be like jelly. The emotional aspect of bone pain is linked precisely to a lack of internal structure or lack a sense of deep support either of those around us or a shallow spirituality with which we "can support" or feel guided internally. The lack of personal value and blaming or not feeling good enough, smart, etc.., influences bone pain.
