ARE YOU SURE YOUR SPLEEN IS DOING OK?:
A lot of pranic healers focus on the liver, but do we REALLY know the importance of the spleen? Rather than talk about the benefits of the spleen, here is what happens if your spleen is not functioning ok:
COMMON SYMPTOMS RELATED TO SPLEEN DYSFUNCTION:
I. ENERGY LEVELS / PHYSICAL STRENGTH
low energy, lethargy, extreme exhaustion,
can't get motivated to get anything done
low or damaged mitochondria (thus low ATP synthesis - the energy molecule)
anemia due to lack of iron availability
timidity, loss of desire to talk
soft voice, in extreme cases only able to whisper
general weakness, the arms and legs feel weak & tired
easily winded,
weak muscles, poor muscle tone
some types of paralysis
heavy and sore body

III. MENTAL FOCUS
spaciness, loss of focus, inability to concentrate, ungroundedness, difficulty comprehending what is read,
loss of memory
jitteriness, speediness, rapid talk, flightiness, ADD, ADHD
IV. MUCUS ACCUMULATION:
swollen, drippy, stuffy, congested sinuses and a general over-abundance of mucus in the body
clearing the throat frequently after consuming sweets, stimulants, oils, fats, fried food, or dairy
feelings of a lump of mucus the back of the throat that will not swallow
difficulty digesting fats, oils and fatty foods
lung and sinus congestion, waking up in the mornings severely congested
tendency to lung and bronchial congestion/infections
sleep apnea
V. DIGESTION:
abdominal distention after eating
sleepiness after eating
heartburn, acid reflux
poor nutrient assimilation
loss of taste, the inability to distinguish flavors, lack of appetite
no thirst, thirst without the desire to drink
hungry, but unable to get much food down (indicating pathogens in the spleen)
emaciation
excessive thirst
voracious appetite
sweet cravings
nausea, vomiting
hiccups
sour stomach, belching
foul gas
intermittent loose stools
frequency and urgency of urination
scanty, dark yellow or burning urination
VI. CIRCULATION
poor circulation to the extremities (cold hands & feet)
difficulty keeping warm when the weather is only mildly cool
heat sensations, spontaneous sweating
swollen, puffy areas of the body usually beginning in a joint (ankles, knee, etc.), edema
pale face and lips
jaundice
VII. OXYGEN UTILIZATION
low oxygen utilization at the cellular level (oxygen utilization involves iron in some instances)
difficulty catching the breath, shortness of breath, feeling like a deep breath is not sufficiently oxygenating
frequent yawning in an attempt to catch the breath
asthmatic breathing with the slightest exertion
VIII. ORGAN AND VEIN INTEGRITY:
prolapsed organs,
hemorrhoids,
hernia,
varicose veins
white vaginal discharge
internal bleeding
IX. LYMPH GLAND & IMMUNE RESPONSE
prone to infections
swollen & painful lymphatic glands, indicating liver congestion/poor bile flow/inflammation/infection
slow healing wounds
bed sores
X. ADDICTIONS
alcoholism
recreational & pharmaceutical addiction
addiction to coffee, black/green tea, chocolate
strong attraction to sweet foods & drink
preference for added sugar in beverages
an aversion to bitter taste
preference for heavily spiced foods & extremely hot peppers
a general preference for extremes in life, both deprivation and excess
THREE BASIC FOOD GROUPS that push the spleen into abnormal functioning:
1.concentrated sugars, sweets, and an excess of fruits. Sweets combined with oils or fats further stress the spleen
2.alcohol (including beer, wine, hard liquor, liqueurs, kombucha, honey meade, jun, etc.)
3.stimulants like coffee, green/black tea, yerba mate, cacao, even an excess of hot peppers,
Compounded of course by combining any of these in the same day or same meal.
ORGANS INFLUENCED BY THE SPLEEN:
The spleen is influential in the functioning of most of the major areas of human physiology. The following is an indication of the most significant organ systems affected by the spleen:
liver
pancreas
stomach
lungs
sinuses
intestines
blood
vascular system
heart
endocrine/hormonal system
lymphatic system
kidneys
adrenals
bladder
As a result, the spleen is intimately involved in the development of:
energy levels
physical strength
moods
mental focus
mucus elimination
digestion & nutrient assimilation
circulation
oxygen utilization
organ & vein integrity
immune response.
EXCESSES AND DEFICIENCIES:
The spleen is negatively affected by extremes of all kinds such as food deficiencies (dieting) or excesses (comfort food binges), too spicy or too cooling, too sweet or too bitter, or by stimulants & depressants.
The spleen can be harmed or burdened by:
excesses of certain food & drink (mainly sweets, stimulants, alcohol, oils and fats)
foods low in nutrition (most processed foods)
mental or emotional stress (like worry or fear)
overexertion of any kind
mineral imbalances (often caused by taking typical isolated mineral supplements like cal-mag, copper, zinc, etc.)
an acid constitution (reduces lymph drainage & bile production)
a sedentary lifestyle (also inhibits lymph drainage)
a toxic environment (overwhelming the detoxification functions of the spleen)
AND HENCE, THE IMPORTANCE OF THE SPLEEN CHAKRA:
The spleen chakra is very important in pranic healing chakra balancing. It is the main entry point of air prana, or energy brought into our bodies through air. The spleen chakra takes in this energy, breaks it down and distributes it to other parts of the body (other chakras). A weak spleen chakra usually means a weak body.
The prana you imbibe through your Spleen chakra is distributed to all the other major chakras of your body. What this chakra does is that it ingests air prana (white in color) and breaks it down into red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet color pranas which can they be absorbed by all the other chakras. The Spleen chakra thus works like a prism that disperses white light into its constituents.
In his book, Universal and Kabbalistic Chakra Meditation on the Lord's Prayer, Master Choa Kok Sui explains the relation of the Spleen chakra to the line Give us this day our daily bread in the Lord's Prayer. This is interesting because the Spleen chakra literally provides daily bread for our body in the form of Pranic Energy. A healthy Spleen chakra ensures that there is sufficient fresh Prana in your body so that all your other major 11 chakras work in unison.
Pranic energy from the Spleen chakra floods you with the vitality you require to tackle all the challenges life throws your way, to overcome all obstacles and finally to emerge victorious.
SO WHAT IS THE SOLUTION?:
AS A START, TO CORRECT SPLEEN IMBALANCE:
Obviously, dietary and environmental stresses will have to be addressed to achieve optimal results. Yet, progress can be made in the meanwhile by adding spleen-building herbal nutrients to your health regime.
SIMPLE SPLEEN THINKING EXERCISE:
A person can be energized by just concentrating on the navel chakra. This will substantially activate and energize the spleen chakra, which in turn energizes the other chakras, and thus the entire body.
