#36 Varicose Veins - The Cold Cord

Tracey Stevens
About this episode

This episode follows a problem with painful  varicose veins into the past and some difficult childhood experiences.

Varicose veins are essentially a problem with circulation, the blood has stagnated and stopped moving in the vessel.  Veins are carrying blood back to the heart. Blood relates to vitality and warmth. The metaphor here reflects a lack of movement and something being stuck, old and without warmth.

I hope you enjoy this episode. I'm sorry the sound isn't great but the conversation is rich and profound.

You can find me on Instagram @thehealingpoint._ , YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@Traceystevens-rcp
Or my website www.traceystevens.org

Inside you’ll find courses, and workshops as well as the Emotional Anatomy Library — with many unpublished podcasts, all designed to help you understand why your body still carries what your mind says should be over.

And if you'd like to have a real conversation with me - email me info@traceystevens.org I'd be happy to connect with you.

With Love
