Releasing Pain on the Right Side of Your Body
Feb 27, 2026
Understanding Energy, Pain, and the Mind-Body Connection
Your body is full of energy, and as we go through life, we experience pain, situations, and circumstances that alter our sense of self. That pain can cause long-lasting issues that, if left untreated, can begin to manifest in other ways.
Right Side Body Pain and Energy Blockages
If you are experiencing pain of any kind on the right side of your body, it’s a clear indication that there is an energy block that needs to be tended to. You never want to go to the doctor for drugs, because that will just mask the pain. You want to get to the root cause of the pain so that you can be drug free and pain free for life.
When you are balanced and living in harmony with your truth, and your body is filled with love, you will not experience pain of any kind. When you are unbalanced, not in harmony with your truth, and your body is not filled with love, you will experience pain. Low back pain, knee pain, tension, shoulder pain, arm pain, and swollen lymph nodes in your neck, breast, and hip area are a clear indication that you need to let go of something.
Emotional Causes of Low Back Pain, Knee Pain, Shoulder Pain and Tension
Toxic thoughts, unprocessed emotions, internal fears, limiting beliefs, and negative thinking carry more pain than you think. Low back pain generally means you might have worries about finances or feel a lack of support in your life. Low back pain could also mean insecurity, rejection of yourself, abandonment issues, addiction issues, or a deep wound that has to do with your mother.
Any leg pain or knee pain could indicate that you are inflexible, stubborn, refuse to change, and have worried about moving forward in your life, or you are unsure of what the future holds for you.
Pain in the right arm or shoulder area can symbolize that you are overextending yourself, carrying too much responsibility, or trying to control outcomes instead of allowing support. It may also reflect challenges with confidence, self-trust, or how you show up and take action in the world.
The shoulders, in particular, are symbolically connected to burdens. Right shoulder pain can indicate that you feel like you have to hold everything together, financially, emotionally, or professionally. You may be taking on responsibilities that are not yours, struggling to ask for help, or believing your worth is tied to how much you accomplish. When we operate in constant “doing mode” without balance, the body can respond with tension, tightness, or discomfort as a signal that something needs to shift.
The right arm is also linked to movement, execution, and forward momentum. Pain in this area may reflect fear of taking action, hesitation about a decision, or self-doubt around your purpose or direction. In some cases, it can point to suppressed anger or unresolved hurt particularly connected to a father figure, partner, male authority, or anyone representing masculine energy in your life. Unprocessed emotions such as resentment or frustration often settle into large muscle groups like the shoulders.
Ultimately, spiritual interpretations of pain are symbolic invitations to look inward. Ask yourself: What am I carrying that feels heavy? Where am I overgiving? What action am I afraid to take? Where do I need more support? While these perspectives can offer meaningful insight, they are not a substitute for medical care. If pain persists or worsens, seeking professional evaluation is important.
The Spiritual Meaning of Right Side Body Pain and Masculine Energy
Your right side of the body is all about masculine energy. It has to do with self-confidence and belief in yourself. It has to do with attention, love, connection, and safety.
If you grew up in a home where you didn’t have a father figure you could go to for emotional support or connect with, or you had a father figure who always got mad at you or flew off the handle any time you got hurt, or anytime you went to him for safety, love, and comfort, you might have a blockage, and that blockage could be manifesting as pain.
If you only got attention when you were hurt, or when something bad happened to you, you might unconsciously be creating more pain and suffering in your life to gain the attention you so desperately need in your life right now.
Self-Healing Through Meditation and Self-Love
The good news is that you can give this attention to yourself, and you have a Heavenly Father who so freely loves you unconditionally and provides for you. You can love yourself and heal yourself simply by sitting alone with yourself in meditation and filling your body with love.
When you sit in meditation and you connect to your breath, and you connect to the source of all creation (aka God, or whatever you choose to believe in), you can receive healing, and you will know exactly what is wrong with you and what you can do to heal yourself. This healing is unique and individual to every person on this planet, and only once you connect with your higher self will you be able to uncover why your body is in pain and what needs to be healed and released.
Body Awareness: Releasing Pain Stored in the Body
Another reason you might be experiencing pain on the right side of your body is that you are attacking and rejecting a certain body part. If you have any pain in your body, ask yourself if you have been attacking anything on the right side of your body. Are you picking at your face? Are you focused on a certain body part that you want to change on that side of the body? Are you fixated on your imperfections?
When you are in meditation and connected to your breath, do a body scan and put your hand on any pain in your body. Breathe into that area and listen to anything that comes up for you.
You could have experienced trauma as a child. You could have inflicted pain on yourself or tried to harm yourself. You could have had an accident as a child, and that pain, and those unprocessed emotions attached to that trauma, are still stuck in your body. Your body holds onto everything, so ensuring you do this on a regular basis to clear and release any blockages is key.
Forgiveness, Masculine Energy, and Emotional Healing
One other reason you could experience pain on the right side is that you have someone of masculine energy that you need to forgive and make peace with. Is there someone that you need to forgive? Are you judging your own father for anything? Were you rejected by a male and are you holding onto that hurt? Are you angry at a male figure in your life? Think about this, for only you will know the answer. Finding forgiveness in your heart and letting it all go will be the only way to truly set yourself free.
The Best Time for Deep Inner Healing and Meditation
A good time to do this deep inner spiritual work is first thing in the morning, right after you have moved your body or exercised. Because you are shifting energy, daily movement is key. But if you want to go deeper into releasing and healing your body, meditation and deep inner body work are great to do after you have exercised for at least 20–30 minutes. As you cool down and stretch, it’s a perfect time to relax even more and just listen to what your body is telling you.
As you do this work, you might begin to experience crying spells. You might find yourself sobbing uncontrollably. Allow these tears to come up and out of you. Allow any stored emotions like anger, rage, sadness, grief, and disappointment to come up and out of you. Allow your body to move, shake, or tremble in any way that feels right or best. Whether you go back in time and feel sadness, anger, loneliness, or frustration, let it all come up, for it must come up and you must feel it in order for the pain to get out of you.
Chances are, when you go back and nurture yourself the way you would a small child, you will feel sadness for the love and nurturing that you never received at the time. Hold yourself, comfort yourself, and be gentle with yourself.
Balancing Your Energy for a Healthier, Happier Life
Now that you are a grown adult, you can parent yourself and you can love and nurture yourself the way you truly deserve. Once the energies are balanced, you will notice that your body feels great, your complexion improves, your gut health improves, you feel lighter, and you are more focused, present, aligned, and in balance and harmony with everyone around you.
If you are feeling off, feeling pain, feeling stressed, and feeling anything other than love, inner peace, and contentment with yourself, then meditation will be the number one thing that will help you unblock, heal, and release anything that is weighing you down… literally.
After you have let it all go and released what you need to release, you will feel happier, healthier, and more successful in your life. Do this work on yourself to balance these energies, and don’t stop. Meditation, connecting with yourself, loving yourself, cleansing negative energies, and nurturing yourself are a lifelong practice. You don’t start and stop. You keep going and keep practicing, and the more you practice, the healthier and happier you will be.
