Swollen Lymph Nodes

Your lymph nodes are swelling — in the neck, under the armpits, in the groin. They are palpable, tender, sometimes painful. Medically, lymph nodes are the filtering stations of your immune system. They swell when the body is fighting infections or inflammatory processes are underway. But sometimes they swell without any clear infection being present. Or they stay swollen long after the infection has passed. Then a deeper question arises: What is your body trying to process that cannot flow through it?

Lymph is movement. It flows, cleanses, transports away what is no longer needed. When your lymph nodes swell, your body is showing you that something has come to a standstill — not only on the physical level, but on the soul level too. You are stuck. Not because you lack strength, but because something in you is blocking the flow.

Swollen lymph nodes are not an alarm — they are a congestion.
