Short Description: Self Mutilation Syndrome
Self Mutilation is where an individual deliberately hurts themselves by inflicting wounds on their body without the intent to commit suicide but with the intent to escape anxiety, tension, or pain or to feel sexual pleasure.

Causes: Self Mutilation (also known as Self Injury, Self Abuse, Self Harm, and Deliberate Harm Syndrome) is most often experienced by those expressing their pain, hurt, or aggression by turning it inward on themselves (instead of outward against other people or inanimate objects). Self Mutilation is most often done by women. The majority of self injurers have been sexually or physically abused.

Self Mutilation can be an occupational hazard inherited from past lives. In medieval times, those in religious orders expressed devoted to Christ through an ascetic lifestyle that often included starvation ("fasting"), self-inflicted torture ("mortification of the flesh"), and sensory deprivation ("self-denial"). These type of behaviors were applauded and those "successful" in taming their flesh to death were revered as holy martyrs. That is why behaviors, like self mutilation, are so hard to break because of deep seated unconscious beliefs that this self destruction is "good for the soul".

Very often, patterns of Self Mutilation are activated by sexual or physical abuse because of linkages of these behaviors in past lives. Often those in authority in religious orders convinced those they physically or sexually abused that "what happened" was necessary for the mortification of their flesh and their salvation from "eternal damnation". It was very common for those sexual practices to include the infliction of pain as part of this "mortification" process. The linkage of the infliction of pain with sexual pleasure can be a very powerful resonance from past lives that can be difficult to heal in the present lifetime.

Symptoms: Self Mutilation comes in many forms. The most common form is cutting the skin (by using razor blades or broken glass). Other forms are burning or scratching the skin, reopening healing wounds, head banging, bone breaking by tripping or falling, etc. The reasons for self mutilation are as numerous and as unique as the people who "do it". However, the most common reasons for self injury are relief from psychological pain or mounting tension, release of unwanted emotions, being numb and wanting to feel something, being stressed and wanting to feel nothing, expressing anger/rage, and/or needing to get attention.

After Effects: Self Mutilation is a life threatening condition that is often not taken seriously by others around the person until their life is actually threatened. There are times when the injury goes farther than intended into suicide. Even if this pattern is healed in body, mind, emotions, and spirit, the former injurer's system may be permanently impaired by years of self abuse. Since the individual has usually endured years of abuse, they are at increased risk for cancer and infection.

Advice: Self Mutilators are usually suffering from a resonance which causes the mind to believe that it still must harm the body. The reality is that there is usually a past life personality (often one from a life of abuse or religious "self-abnegation") "starving for attention" and for the healing that knowledge of the past brings.

If the self injurer would not be open to such knowledge, the best that their loved ones can do is to shower them with unconditional love (see the Loving Kindness Meditation). When they are ready, loved ones should invite and encourage the self injurer to do exercises which will open them to greater levels of self love (see the Reiki Heart Anchor and Mirror of the Loving Soul exercises). The worst thing that loved ones can do is look away and pretend as if nothing is happening… while the self injurer's life slips even further away... when it does not have to.

Case History: Self Mutilators come from all walks of life. Many times they are the people that you would be least likely to suspect of this behavior. They quickly become very expert at inflicting and then concealing their wounds so that the pattern of self abuse can continue indefinitely. One woman - very attractive, highly intelligent, and financially independent - went for years self mutilating. Only when she took ill from an unrelated cause were scars from repeated wounds discovered. Since she was unmarried and lived alone, there was no one else to "blame" for her condition which sprang from horrific abuse in a convent in past lives.
