Low blood pressure – getting cold feet
Low blood pressure (hypotension) in children and adults is intended to show us that one tends to avoid conflict, to withdraw into the subconscious. That when things get dicey and one literally gets “cold feet,” one consciously or unconsciously chooses to faint. If dizziness then responds, it is intended to show us that the flow of life energy has become stuck somewhere in the periphery, unable to find its way back to the center. Those affected by low blood pressure feel unable to cope with certain family or professional situations and avoid them. The lack of tension and weakness on a physical level is often associated with enormous mental tension, due to a specific life situation of the affected person. They find it difficult to take on responsibility and suffer from a lack of motivation. This affects the autonomic nervous system. They find it difficult to concentrate, have difficulty breathing and ringing in the ears, feel cold, and feel a tingling sensation in their arms and legs.
From a holistic perspective, fear and cold feet can also be linked to a lack of grounding.
Emotional side of low blood pressure:
- remaining stuck in victim roles
- seeking escape through helplessness
- depression affecting me
- life seems too complicated, I feel stressed
- I feel like a loser
- I don’t feel valuable
- I push my own needs aside or ignore them for various reasons
- by withdrawing from conflicts and not living out my emotions, I get into anticipatory anxiety
On other levels:
- Pressure, I have to keep an eye on everything
- I practice a lot of negative thinking, something challenges me
- I am strict with myself and others
