Question: Can difficulties in communication with one’s spouse and the absence of sexual intimacy in marriage contribute to the development of psychosomatic breast conditions? For example, if a husband refuses intimacy and does not show initiative, explaining he is feeling unwell, or are psychosomatic causes of breast-related illnesses more often associated with other factors, such as a woman’s tendency toward overprotection or excessive caretaking towards her husband? Are there more common or significant psychosomatic factors that may influence breast health, particularly in cases where medical examinations do not reveal clear physiological causes?
Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2026 Kazakhstan Conference.
This is a very individual dynamic. It depends very much on how you look at sexual intimacy, the purpose of it, how you look at your role as a woman in fulfilling this. But it is clear that if you feel neglected or rejected as a woman, it can influence your sexual organs in the sense that you are projecting something upon them that can filter down through the identity, mental and emotional level and either lead to a direct disease or even a feeling of unease or various sensations of pain.
What you can do here is examine your entire role to sexuality, to being a woman, and especially the shame that has been associated with the sexual act for millennia. Depending on your culture, your religion, how is this looked at? And have you been programmed by a religion, for example, to associate shame with your sexuality? Or have you been programmed with other cultural conditions that you should be attractive as a woman and if your husband is not attracted to you, there must be something wrong with you. I am just mentioning a few examples. There are many such beliefs, of course, in various cultures.
What I would recommend is that when you do not have a physiological cause, you look for the psychological aspects, the subconscious selves you have related to your body, to sexuality, to your relationship with the opposite sex and how that is played out in your culture. There are, of course, other factors, including physical factors that can cause various diseases. But what you can immediately start doing something about is the psychological aspect of this by simply taking our tools about becoming aware of a subconscious self and examining what beliefs are behind it. What expectations, what view do you have? What is the view in your approach to sexuality that is the reward for sex or that is the punishment for not having it?
