Have you ever wondered why you get certain medical conditions sometimes?
We all know the physical and biological reasons for disease, illness, and other medical ailments – but what about the spiritual?
Today, that’s what we’re going to dive right into, unlocking the 7 jaw pain spiritual messages you’re probably missing.
Jaw Pain Spiritual Meaning
Jaw pain is related to something that’s actually quite obvious: anger and frustration.
What happens when we are angry or frustrated? Yes, that’s right: we clench our jaws, sometimes so hard that it actually causes pain.
But ‘anger’ and ‘frustration’ are quite vague keywords, aren’t they?
Let’s break them down a little further.

Right Side Jaw Pain Spiritual Meaning
In Ancient Mayan culture, the right side of the body was closely linked to positivity, power, purity, and being in charge.
Overall, it is classed as the ‘male’ side of the body, highly assertive and powerful. This ideation hasn’t gone away.
The right side of your brain is in charge of energy, moving, heading forwards, being passionate and driven, and high levels of creativity – and this also extends to the rest of your body.

The left side of the body signified not being in charge, negativity, weakness, and loss of control, in Mayan culture.
In fact, this is the case for virtually all cultures and civilizations around the world, throughout time.
Also associated with feminine energy, weakness, inferiority, and evil, there are also a few good associations in there, too.
These include intuition, gentleness, and empathy.

Jaw Pain Spiritual Meaning: 7 Things Your Jaw Pain Is Trying to Tell You
If you have jaw pain and are wondering what it stems from, let’s crack open the secrets and find out what your body, the Universe, or your angels are trying to tell you.
Firstly, though, I’m going to need you to write down as much about your jaw pain as you can.
This includes things like which side of the jaw is painful, pain level on a scale of 1 to 10, when you’re experiencing pain, and anything else that seems relevant.
The record will help in the future if the message seems undecipherable right now.
1) Emotional Suppression and Frustration
Jaw pain closely links with emotional suppression and frustration, which basically means that you’re experiencing emotions that you can’t or won’t get out, and it’s driving you bonkers because you feel like you can’t do anything about it.
You shouldn’t be expected to keep all of your emotions buried deep within you
They need to come out sometime; otherwise, they’ll explode out of you at the least possible time.
Take that from someone who learned that lesson the hard way. (Trust me.)
Let those emotions out. If you can’t say them, write them down. You might find that the process of writing them down releases some of the frustration you’re feeling.
2) Trapped and Unprocessed Emotions
This can relate to buried emotions that you perhaps might’ve forgotten about or those that are already bubbling away on the surface.
Either way, they’re unprocessed and, therefore, trapped – which means that you can’t escape or get over it.
You cannot bury your emotions forever. It will haunt you if you do, either spiritually or physically.
Processing them, attempting to understand them, and then filing them away where they belong is the best way to handle it.
3) Feelings of Inadequacy
Inadequacy, imposter syndrome, defective, meager — does this correctly express how you feel about yourself? If yes, you might have just found the root cause of your jaw pain!
Listen, we all feel like we’re trash from time to time, but you can’t let that be your whole life.
If you aren’t confident in yourself or your abilities, absolutely no one else is going to feel confident about you, either.
That goes for potential employers, potential love interests, and more.
4) Throat Chakra Blockage or Misalignment
If your Throat chakra is blocked, misaligned, or in other ways disrupted, you might feel jaw pain alongside a whole host of other physical and emotional symptoms.
These include:
- Difficulty with communication;
- A total loss of creativity and inspiration;
- Zero confidence;
- Feeling trapped or imprisoned;
- Dissatisfaction with completed tasks;
- Increased stress, anxiety, or depression;
- Worsening existing medical conditions.
Thankfully, you can unblock your Throat chakra easily, with meditation, chakra stones, reiki healing, yoga, and plenty of other ways.
You can also add more blue into your life with clothes, jewelry, home décor, shoes, etc.; use positive thinking, positive affirmations, and a manifestation or spirituality journal; and performing regular breathing exercises specifically designed for Throat chakra unblocking.
5) You’re In Need of Relaxation
The jaw is an incredible thing, and it never actually falls asleep like the rest of the body does.
It’s strong and always working – just take a look at your baby as they suck their thumb or a pacifier.
This could be a sign that you have been on high alert or go-go-go for too long, and it’s time to sit down, chill out, and relax.
Relaxing is different for everyone, so do whatever helps you to unwind. Here are a few ideas for you to get started with:
- Take a walk in nature;
- Enjoy a hot bubble bath;
- Watch a movie, snuggled up with your dog or cat;
- Read a book;
- Sit in absolute silence;
- Listen to soothing music.
6) Long-Held Negative Emotions
Are you holding on to negative emotions that perhaps you should’ve processed and let go already?
It’s not a bad thing to hold on to things that hurt you, so you can ensure you don’t make the same mistakes again.
However, they can cloud your judgment, cause you to lose great opportunities, and seriously damage your spiritual, mental, and physical health.
Pain in the jaw is often a sign that you’re holding on to something that you need to work through, understand, and then release.
When you do, your jaw will release – as will that nagging pain.
7) Taking On More Than You Can Handle
Staying with the theme of stress, tensions, and feeling as though you have the weight of the literal world on your shoulders, jaw pain can be a sign that you’re taking on much more than you can handle in life.
Are you doing someone else’s work at work? Maybe you’re paying for everything in a relationship, with your partner paying for… well, nothing.
Something in your life is unbalanced, heavily leaning on you, and you’re close to running out of steam to carry on.
Sometimes, just sometimes, you need to slow down and take some time for YOU.
Conclusion
Experiencing pain is never fun, and – as always – make sure you seek medical advice for a medical problem before setting out to research the spiritual links and meanings.
It never hurts to take a look at what your jaw pain (or other pain) might mean on a deeper, more spiritual level, though. It might point you in the direction of a massive life change that you wish you’d done sooner!
