Enlarged Spleen (Splenomegaly)

The spleen is an organ most people barely perceive — until it makes itself heard. A feeling of pressure in the upper left abdomen, a sense of fullness after just a few bites, sometimes a dull pain radiating up into the shoulder. Medical investigation then reveals: the spleen is enlarged. It filters, stores, works — but it is working too much. It swells up, as if it is holding something that ought to be flowing onward.

The spleen is the organ of filtration and blood quality. It sorts out what is no longer needed — old cells, damaged structures. When it enlarges, something is backing up. The body is holding back what should be passed on.

And it is precisely here that the psychosomatic question begins: What in your inner life is backing up? Which energy is going in circles without ever finding its expression?
