*I bring joy back to the centre of my heart. I express love to all.

Backs Represent the support of life.

Lower Back Problem: Fear of money. Lack of financial support. [Venus, Libra & Taurus = love & money]

*I trust the process of life. All that I need is always taken care of. I am safe.

Arthritis: feeling unloved. Criticism, resentment, bitterness. Feeling not good enough. [Saturn & Capricorn = ‘old man or woman’ within - coldness]

*I am love. I now choose to love and approve of myself. I see others with love.
