The spine plays an important role in connecting our emotions and the autonomic nervous system through its relationship with the central nervous system (CNS) and the sympathetic and parasympathetic branches of the autonomic nervous system.

The Central Nervous System (CNS): The spine houses and protects the spinal cord, which is an extension of the brain and serves as the primary pathway for transmitting signals between the brain and the rest of the body. The CNS is responsible for processing sensory information, coordinating motor responses, and regulating involuntary bodily functions, including emotional responses.

Autonomic Nervous System (ANS): The ANS is part of the system that controls involuntary functions of the body, such as heart rate and digestion. It consists of two main branches:

Sympathetic Nervous System (SNS): Often referred to as the “fight or flight” response, the SNS prepares the body for action in response to stress or danger. It increases heart rate, dilates airways, redirects blood flow to vital organs, and triggers the release of stress hormones like adrenaline and cortisol.

Parasympathetic Nervous System (PNS): Sometimes called the “rest and digest” response, the PNS promotes relaxation, digestion, and recovery. It slows heart rate, constricts airways, stimulates digestion, and conserves energy.The spine, particularly the spinal cord and the nerves that branch out from it, serves as a conduit for the transmission of signals between the brain and the body. Emotional stimuli received by the brain can trigger corresponding physiological responses mediated by the autonomic nervous system. For example:Emotional stress or anxiety can activate the sympathetic nervous system, leading to physical symptoms such as increased heart rate, shallow breathing, muscle tension, and sweating.

Relaxation techniques or positive emotions can stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system, which will cause the body to relax.

We can stimulate the spinal column with crystals, tuning forks and essential oils and massage and Acupressure. Since the spine is like a highway that has nerves that connect to the rest of our vital organs, relaxing the spine can have a positive impact on things such as our digestion, our mental clarity and so on. Our emotions can also have an impact on the spine and it is believed that trapped emotions can affect different parts of the body. When we stuff things down because we do not want to deal with them or we think that if we unlock the trapped emotions we might lose it completely then we leave these emotions in the body and they can have a negative impact on our health and our lives.

Here are a few of the Acupressure points that are found on the back:

Governor Vessel 14 (GV 14) – Location: At the midpoint of the upper back, between the seventh cervical vertebra (C7) and the first thoracic vertebra (T1). Benefits: Stimulating GV 14 can help relieve neck and upper back tension, improve posture, and alleviate symptoms of stress and anxiety.

Bladder 10 (BL 10) – Location: Approximately 1.5 inches bilateral to the lower edge of the spinous process of the second thoracic vertebra (T2). Benefits: BL 10 is commonly used to relieve neck pain, stiffness, and tension headaches. It can also help improve circulation to the head and neck.

Bladder 13 (BL 13) – Location: Approximately 1.5 inches bilateral to the lower edge of the spinous process of the third thoracic vertebra (T3). Benefits: BL 13 is associated with lung health and respiratory function. Stimulating this point can help alleviate symptoms of asthma, coughing, and respiratory congestion.

Bladder 17 (BL 17) – Location: Approximately 1.5 inches bilateral to the lower edge of the spinous process of the seventh thoracic vertebra (T7). Benefits: BL 17 is known as the “diaphragm” point and is associated with blood circulation and energy regulation. Stimulating this point can help strengthen the immune system, improve digestion, and alleviate fatigue.

Bladder 23 (BL 23) – Location: Approximately 1.5 inches bilateral to the lower edge of the spinous process of the second lumbar vertebra (L2). Benefits: BL 23 is a key point for kidney health and vitality. Stimulating this point can help alleviate lower back pain, strengthen the lower back muscles, and support kidney function.

Bladder 40 (BL 40) – Location: In the middle of the crease at the back of the knee, between the two tendons. Benefits: BL 40 is a potent point for relieving lower back pain, sciatica, and leg cramps. It also helps regulate the flow of Qi (energy) along the Bladder meridian.

These acupressure points on the back can be stimulated to promote relaxation, alleviate pain, and support overall health and well-being. When you use tuning forks or singing bowls to stimulate the Acupressure points you do not need to focus on being exactly on the point as the sound moves as a wave and spreads out reaching a larger surface area.

We can also use crystals that are flat to place on either side of the spine to allow the energetic properties of the crystals to work on the energy body.

In summary, the spine acts as a vital link between our emotional experiences, the central nervous system, and the autonomic nervous system, influencing our physiological responses to various emotional stimuli. Maintaining spinal health and alignment through practices like chiropractic care, yoga, and mindful movement can support overall emotional well-being and nervous system function.
