The pancreas is directly linked to emotional indigestion, family disputes over inheritances or assets, unfairness in the distribution of resources, and the loss of “sweetness” in life.

As an organ with a dual function—exocrine (secreting enzymes to “digest a  mouthful”) and endocrine (producing insulin to manage sugar)—its associated emotional conflicts vary depending on the specific tissue affected:

First, there is the “prey” conflict (exocrine): The biological purpose here is to produce an increased amount of digestive juices in order to “digest” an aberrant experience.

This relates to situations perceived as a “dirty trick,” a vile betrayal, or an act of extreme baseness committed by a family member or someone very close. This is the quintessential pancreatic conflict.

“What they did to me is an unbearable, filthy act that I simply cannot digest.”

Conflict involving resistance, disgust, and the loss of sweetness (endocrine):

The second major aspect of the pancreas concerns the management of sugar (associated with love, affection, and tenderness).

Here, the main conflict is the need to endure in a cold, hostile environment—feeling compelled to fight or actively resist a person or authority figure (such as a boss, a parent, or a partner) who is perceived as tyrannical.

The individual finds themselves in a family or work setting that triggers a profound moral aversion; they feel the situation is “degrading” or “disgusting,” yet they are forced to swallow it or continue living with it.

As a result, the person may feel that “sweetness” has vanished from their life—or that it is dangerous—compelling them to adopt a state of hypervigilance, control, and hardness.

They might think: “I have to be strong, hold out, and defend myself against this disgusting situation, because no one is going to take care of me.” Or: “I have to endure this thing that I find repulsive.”

This often manifests in individuals who are controlling, highly responsible, or who “swallow” their feelings instead of enjoying life.

Furthermore, the pancreas can be affected by a “conflict of deprivation” (a lack of sustenance):

Since the pancreas is vital for absorbing nutrients from food, a very primal conflict involves the fear of starving to death or experiencing extreme deprivation.

This is not limited to physical food; it can also manifest as a panicked fear of running out of money or material resources, or of suddenly losing the family’s financial support.

Another conflict affecting the pancreas is related to “territorial rivalry”:

This is triggered when you find yourself in a constant struggle to defend what you consider yours—your rights, your money, your space, or your position—against a rival who plays dirty.

You might think: “I have to fight tooth and nail so that my territory isn’t taken away. I harbor a tremendous amount of resentment over this dispute, but I have to keep it to myself.”

Finally, this organ can be affected by a conflict involving unfair distribution—the feeling that you are giving far more than you receive in a relationship or at work.

The individual lives with the constant perception that responsibilities, penalties, or material assets are distributed in a deeply unequal way, leaving them consistently at a disadvantage.

Questions for introspection:

What family or financial situation have you recently experienced as a “base” act or an intolerable betrayal?

Against what—or whom—have you long been resisting with anger and disgust?

Are there memories in your family tree of unfair inheritances or financial ruin caused by deception among siblings or relatives?
