Ugh, Acne. I feel you.

Here’s a synopsis of the listener question:

She asks her name not be revealed, and writes, “Hey there! I have had acne since puberty. It was managed well by taking Accutane but I was ordered to stop taking it last year because I had been taking it for so long. Months later, it came back in full force and worse than ever.

I have good skincare routines, I became mostly vegetarian/partly vegan, I get laser treatments, homeopathic stuff, and many things out of the ordinary like a remedy Edgar Cayce gave to two people. I have even been working on myself regarding my emotional blocks (though there's still ways to go), stopped using makeup to conceal acne, and overcoming fear to engage in social and work activities with my face all marred every day as though it doesn't exist, so I can't see why this condition seems to be spiraling out of control.

All I got from my inner voice was 'dairy' and while I do love cheese once in a while, I have significantly reduced dairy intake compared to before...so I don't know what to do! I have heard that acne is related to gastrointestinal issues and the spine, but aside from the physical/energetic wound of some sort on my left side of the stomach I've had for a while, my IBS has never been better...or at least it seems. Please let me know what is going on. Thank you so much!”

I’m so proud of you.

First I want you to know, that I am so proud of you. I am proud of you for looking for solutions both inside and outside of your body, and I am proud of you for getting still enough to connect with and hear that inner voice. You are beautiful.

Adult and Adolescent Acne Energy

I like to look at things from a whole being perspective, body, mind, and spirit. So let's dive into what we are looking at energetically here.

Energetically, acne is an expression of anger, resentment, and fear around needing unconditional acceptance and love for who you are. This is often a cyclical problem, you feel angry and resentful → acne pops up → you feel angry and resentful now at the acne too → more acne → more anger and resent…you get the idea.

Additionally, on some level, especially for those of us that pick acne, acne is a sign that on some level you are feeling needled or picked on energetically, mentally, or emotionally.

Acne is also a physical manifestation of energetic rebellion and pushing away of authority. Now for some people, acne is physically manifesting from one of these energetic properties, and sometimes it's all of them or any combination of them. To sum it up, it's a lack of esteem.

Knowing the energetic information, and if you know any teens or pre-teens personally, you can see how that would go hand-in-hand, yeah?

In this case, it is amazing that these emotional/energetic blocks are being worked through, I would continue to work through these process as these kind of blocks are often layers, and just like an onion, we have to peel them back one at a time. Sometimes counseling is the appropriate way to work through these things, and sometimes it can be more of a DIY job.

Anger takes time to process and release. You can facilitate the release of anger with a few different tools.
