Mouth sores

The mouth is read as our opening to life - where we first take nourishment, speak our truth, and let life's pleasure in. Mouth sores are read as a block at that threshold of taking in and expressing: difficulty letting oneself receive the nourishment, pleasure and contact one is offered, with a felt sense of not deserving them, and words or feelings that sting where they are not let out. The short explanation's "feelings of not being deserving" sits in that blocked, unworthy intake. Relief is described as letting oneself receive and savour what life offers, and voicing rather than swallowing what stings.

Example from the findings: mouth sores are read as a block at one's opening to life - not letting oneself receive or deserve its nourishment.
