Spiritual Meaning Of Itching – Why It Happens?

The spiritual meaning of itching is different than the usual physical definition.

Itching is the irritating feeling that makes you want to scratch, cool down, or do whatever you can do to get some form of relief.

From skin allergies to the bite of an insect, the causative agent of itching varies greatly.

An itchy area could be small or larger, depending on various factors.

Sometimes, you may have an itchy sensation all over your body. Often it is a localized area that begs your attention.

Hands, back, and feet are the most common parts to feel an itch, but no body part is immune to this unlikable condition.

Many times, itching appears in the region where there’s a pimple or a skin allergy.

If there is an obvious lump or a healing cut, you can go ahead and rule those out as non-spiritual itches.

A mosquito, ant, or flea bite is another leading cause ruled out here.

You will know because when any insect bites, there’s always a skin puncture, rash or redness to indicate that something has happened.

Many people develop a rash due to food allergies as well.

Encountering a chemical irritant or allergen can also be added to the list of itching occurring physically only.

Now we know what spiritual itches are not, let’s find out what they are.

Why Does My Skin Itch When It Is A Spiritual Issue?

Our physical body encases our souls and energy.

Our skin will feel itchy, irritated, hot, chilled, etc when our spiritual self wants to communicate something to us.

It can be a range of messages from this life or past lifetimes. It may even be another soul or spirit trying to interact with you.

It is a way we know that something or someone is needing our spiritual and emotional attention.

Spiritual Meaning Of Itching

So what does it mean when there is no medical or evident cause behind the appearance of a rash or sensitive often lumpy skin?

What is this skin sensation telling you?

Why is there a prickly, hot, or weird feeling like something is crawling on or underneath your skin?

Well, when itching is present without any medical cause, then there is always a spiritual reason behind it.

We are multi-layered beings. Our physical self is one layer of many.

But for lots of people, it is the first or only place they feel spiritual issues.

Itching is a sign of something is bothering us, prodding us to pay attention to it’s cause.

It is the indicator that something is troubling us deep inside our souls.

And by this I mean it is spiritual and emotional warning blended into one action.

When It Is A Past Life Issue

Our souls are amazing supercomputers, they store all our past life data.

Every human soul has worn many cloaks and is aware of them all simultaneously, even if we are not.

Unless we are awakened and aware of what we truly are, we stay somewhat separated from the knowledge stored in our soul chips.

All physical damage, abuse, and cause of death are stored in the records of our souls.

Our superconsciousness sometimes wants us to reenact these moments as a way of self-healing the emotional, physical and spiritual wounds we bear.

Be glad your itch gives you a heads up!

Having this kind of insight is priceless, these energy blocks can turn into golf ball-sized painful muscle knots if we neglect them.

I know this from the knot that rears its ugly head at the base of my neck.

It is a past life reminder of all the hangings my witchy self has seen.

I have had this healed by a spiritual master, however, that is not completely effective, as soon as I am worn out it comes back giving me nasty headaches and migrains.

Pay Attention To Your Dreams

What can you do when you have eliminated all physical causes of a persistent skin issue and have identified that you do indeed have a spiritual itch?

One of the best tools to use is your dreams, they are a valuable source of soul information.

Before you go to sleep say a few words to yourself and ask your soul to help you see what it is that is begging for your attention.

When you are dreaming watch out for any clues related to the area affected by your phantom itch.

You may not understand at first but practice this technique as much as you can and the message will become clearer.

What Can I Do About It?

You could uncover something that has plagued you longer than you know.

Often just being able to acknowledge a grievance your soul or body has endured over mallenia is enough for the irritation to stop.

Other times you will see that you are on the wrong path and need to make changes to how you are living.

When It Is An Unfulfilled Desire Or A Feeling Of Anger

When you don’t have any way to show your trouble, it comes out from your body in the form of an itch or if left too long, a muscle knot of pain.

Whenever your unconscious is having a problem, and you try to hide the feeling from yourself, your mind finds a way to express itself.

It is aware of the things that you are burying deep inside you, and when your body can not bear the burden, it finds a way to express it.

When you overlook your desire or try to cover your anger, an itch is always there.

There is always an appropriate channel to solve your issues.

An Itch Appears When You Take The Shortcut And Hide Everything

When you feel the itch, and you scratch it instantly and get relieved, it is the indicator that you have a conflict and the results are according to your desire.

But when you don’t feel comfortable even after scratching, it means that the results of the conflict are bothering you.

When you feel itchy for no reason, even after you take a good shower, then take a good look within yourself.

Sit silently and explore your mind. Try to think about the thing that has bothered you recently, and you didn’t react to it at all.

Give time to yourself and think about the problems you are facing currently.

Spiritual Meanings Behind Skin Irritations

Skin Rash Spiritual Meaning

Skin rashes often signify spiritual growing pains, or a resistance to change.

Rashes indicate we are emotionally irritated as we shed old ways of being and adopt new ones.

They symbolize our rebirth. As we learn spiritual lessons, rashes remind us to care for our renewed sensitive spirit.

Spiritual Meaning of Itching Head

An itchy head points to overthinking and obsessive thoughts. It signals we may be too mentally active and concerned with controlling outcomes.

We must calm our thoughts and trust in our higher power. An itching head calls us to let go so new insights can emerge.

Itchy Emotions Meaning

Itchy skin reveals our raw emotions close to the surface. It signifies suppressed feelings bursting forth for healing.

As emotions come up to be recognized, rather than resisting, we can thank them for the messages they bring and allow them to transform us.

Spiritual Meaning of Itchy Tongue

An itching tongue symbolizes a desire to vocalize our truth. We may feel restrained from freely expressing expanding viewpoints.

The spiritual message is to speak our wisdom gently, without attachment to outcomes. As we give voice to our soul’s purpose, we liberate not only ourselves, but inspire others.

It Could Be That A Spirit Is Trying to Get Your Attention

If you are at this point and have not been able to find relief it means a spirit is trying to show you something deeper.

Don’t try to bury these feelings again if you find what is disturbing your unconscious mind.

Instead, work with what you know and meditate on the affected area, and ask the spirit to show you what happened and you will see what needs to be resolved.

Remember that desire, anger, and sadness are expressions.

They make you who you are. Don’t be afraid to go deep and find the emotional wounds that are showing up on your skin.

You should solve the problems you face and should not neglect them if you desire peace in your soul.

These small irritations now will turn into full-blown skin problems later if left unchecked.

Even if they are from a past life, these are still you, still a part of you that needs healing.

Please feel free to leave a question in the comments, I will do my best to help you.

  1. This is so true i have an inchy skin for a long time yes i need to get to the root of it thank you

  2. It’s been happening to me a lot the last month……..and it drives me crazy. I am a TF so I am wondering if this is related to that situation. I do have contact with my twin, we have known each other for 5.5 yrs but had many many months of “not speaking” we have been through a lot.

  3. Normally starts 90% of the time after I shower, I got so anxious, I start taking allergy pills, but if they don’t work I will shower again until the itchiness goes away. I have not used anything for around 4 months just soap and water.. sometimes happens in the middle of the night out of nothing..

  4. Funny i should be reading this as i am looking for a solution for my itching. I am also a twin flame and have wondered if its the frustration of unfulfilled desire. We are not talking at 5he moment…its not an easy journey when all you want to do is love and have a normal relationship..i am trying to move on

  5. The best solution to bodily reactions and lear how to woth it is to learn Vipassana Meditation. The more I learn the technique not only i am better at not scraching or complaining about my any other physical pain, the less they come back and also my resistance level in daily life difficulties&difficult people incomperably better than it used to be.

  6. I am so tired, i have tried diffferent medications and alot of prayers but all to no avail.
    It come over me like fire

    1. ANYONE experiencing itching needs to go to youtube and use the healing code for it.
      Energized silence is the channel. Healing code for itching skin is the name of it. Crazy stuff but it works for me and lots of otehr people. Read the instructions on how to use the numbers. IT WORKS!! I am not associated with the channel but use the codes all the time.

  7. It happens to me too, am really tired, I feel I should have another skin, my skin especially my laps and thigh were so fresh and glowing not until this itching started with no medical cause, and have taken anti itching drugs also
    creams, and am just tired.

  8. This is unfortunately true in my case . Yes, I have to suppress certain emotions, because if I express them position would most likely deteriorate….
    Would anyone suggest solution ? I shall be highly obliged

    1. Hi Vinayak
      I trust you are well, have tried to have a oats bath also marina is very very good.

      Kind regards

      1. Edited version, sorry it’s called mazina, or corn starch.
        Have an awesome day !!

        From South Africa

  9. Mmm yes, thank you for this.
    I have had a daily itch around my anus for 3 and 1/2 years now and I am more or less 100% positive it is spiritual as I’ve tried every physical diagnosis under the sun and I’ve not been able to get anywhere with it…
    An energy healer told me it’s something from a past life but I’m having difficulty identifying exactly what it is – I’ve asked so many times to my guides to show me in my dreams, meditating on it, etc – what you suggest here. And I just don’t know what it is but it’s something I’m living with every day so it’s what I want more than anything to go away.
    It seems to appear when I get into bed at night and while I’m sleeping. Sometimes it flares up in the day but usually only when I’m particularly stressed. Would appreciate any advice you might have 🙏 Love and blessings.

    1. Hi Tori.

      I have been pondering your question for a few days. It was hard to see what would help you the most.

      I can usually help with some techniques and other spiritual tools I have when I am with a person.

      Your question was kinda tricky. But I believe I have the best way forward for you.

      You don’t need to know what or who hurt you there in your past life.

      But you do need to forgive the unseen and unknowing and find a way for you to release the residue energy that you are retaining.

      Say it out loud, that you forgive and you release the block of past violence.

      This is the best thing, better to just let it go than try and get involved with the details.

      Namaste

  11. My back has scratches constantly. I did not realize the itching has been so deep.
    My eyes itch so terribly…usually my eyelashes with dry eye drops giving no relief. So bad that it feels like an insect is eating away at my actual eyeballs

  12. I’m itching and going through an almighty epic transformation. It’s biblical and I do need some spiritual counsel. If you can help or can direct me to someone who can I would be most grateful.
    I have a spirit guide and I am going to try to connect with him as well.
    Thankyou much love

  13. wow this explains a lot.. I’ve had a mysterious skin issue for the past 4 yrs or longer.. I’ve been profiled, ridiculed, accused of so much , etc . Thank you for th a insight. Now how do I get to bottom of the source..

  14. I have been having that wierd ithces right under my left foot at 03:30-04:00am for last 2 weeks.
    It’s been already a wierd year after I met my twin flame in May 2020. I had no idea about twin flames or soul mates before I met him.
    Now I’m almost over that painful period. I was just trying to find a solution for my itches that has no obvious reason and I found your blog. I’m really speachless. I now accept that I’m somehow having an awakening inside. It’s not easy.

    I just wanted to thank you for this informative blog.

  15. Hi dear I do have a question recently I feel spiderwebs on my skin on my arms right and left but there’s actually not spiderwebs it’s just the way I feel can you please give me a explanation how about this issues very cute curious thank you for your helpAnd I really truly enjoy your readings and thank you for the help

  16. I am new to all of this..can you refer me to a book that can help with the spiritual inching..thank you!

  17. I relate to the anger part! It seems I carry it, and I’m not sure exactly where from … themes of self abuse had come up in recent weeks before a bout of intense hives I’d never experienced before! Went away in 48hrs but it felt like a big wake up call to something. Any insights?

  18. Hey there, I was born with Eczema rashes covering my scalp, my parents thought that I would never have hair 🙂 but I do now. But I’m the last few years, every time I return to my childhood home, I get a rash around my neck, with absolutely no explanation. Sometimes it’s goes away some times it stays. Recently it has been here for 2 months. Around my neck and on my fingers. I am black, Caribbean, and my country used to be a place with lots of Plantations, possibly where my current home is now. Is it possible that this is at all related?

    1. Hey Dani 🙂

      I would have said it was the environment…but after I read that you are in a place where people were abused in such a bad way…and if you are feeling it is a past life connection, then I would say you are right!

      The only way you might be able to shift it…that is f it is the second thing, would be to meditate on it.

      Try and see and feel who is tryng to connect with you.

      Speak out loud and tell them you feel them and are sorry for what they went through…but it is time to move on and let you be healthy.

      I am glad you have hair now and I hope you get better soon 🙂

      Namaste

  19. Hi Susan,

    So the thing that stood out the most to me is your mention of the knot in the muscle at the base of your neck. I have been experiencing some painful knots on the right side of my neck and my collarbone. I have used everything to gct rid of the pain but nothing is working, which made me think it was something spiritual perhaps. I was wondering if you had any more insight to give on this? I would be entirely grateful for any advice that you may have to give.

  20. OMG I am experiencing the same thing.i just had a hand reading and he said you have some type of itch, it only comes at night wowww.ive been told that I have spiritual gifts many times before helpppp what is going on

  22. I itching after taking my bath and anytime I want to sleep please I need help this has been going on since 7 years now (crying)I need help

    1. Hi Anyamele,
      I feel for you, but, I am not a Doctor, so I can’t diagnose you.
      Have you been to a specialist skin practitioner? I do recommend a visit.

      You need to think of everything and play detective.
      It could be the water or it could be your clothes washing liquid, it could be anything.

      It does not sound spiritual to me, more physical.
      Best of luck to you

      Namaste

  23. For over 30yrs, the ferry outside/tip of my nose will itch intensely, several times a year, and not due to any seasonal allergy. No rash/redness/runny nose. It has increased slowly through the years. And recently also around my mouth….and most recently my entire face, with the mist intense stump at the tip of my nose (but also now around it and in nostrils) it doesn’t make sense, and I cans find the pattern in it, and it can be intense. I’ve no clue and if there’s a message in it, it’s doing me no good if I can’t decipher. Any ideas/pings? Help! Thank you.

  24. I have so many big issues going on in my life for a few months. I can’t tell if it is MS , diabetes, or or spiritual meanings. I have been connecting to the light and loving archangels. Especially Archangel Michael. I’ve been doing vacuuming, cutting cords, and clearing my tiger eye and asking for family in heaven and the light and loving archangels to remove negative energy and put protection energy in the gem. I’m not sure if you can inform me with what will be happening in the next few months? I’ve been itching my head the last few weeks. My doctor said it was nothing but maybe it’s something else? Thank you if you could help me understand.

  25. Hello, the top of my left ring finger has suddenly begun itching quite often, and without much relief. It’s the exact spot a ring would sit. I dont wear a ring so this has come out of nowhere. There’s no redness or dry spot, nothing. It started in the last 2 weeks. I have been going through a difficult separation period with my boyfriend since July, he just ghosted one day. We have not communicated at all since! We were very happy, I believe he is struggling internally and he feels he can’t express to me. (He had been unhappy with some stressful situations in his life) This has been weighing heavily on me as I’m concerned for him. Could this itch be related and what could it potentially mean? Thank you

  26.

    1. Hi Selma, am not the author but I came across your comment and thought to answer it. I would suggest sitting in mediation and asking of yourself what it is you are angry about. When the thought arises, sit with it, accept it, ask yourself questions like what is it trying to reveal in me. And let it go. Then do things that make you feel good (Go up the emotional scale~ Abraham Hicks). You will feel better in time with consistent practice. Hopefully this helps!
      Love and light,

  27. Good morning I have been having a itch constantly all over my boy for over 11yrs. I went to the doctor several times test me for allergies and I wasn’t allergy to anything! They started asking me questions which seemed Krazy like what year is it? Who is the president treated me like I was a crazy person. They’ve given me meds. it doesn’t help at all! I’m scared to go back to the doctor nothing helps! I’m still dealing with this issue! It’s stealing my peace.

  28. My whole my body itches, I don’t have any rash or scars. It’s very uncomfortable and sometimes it makes me jump.

  29. I itch terribly after touching something that my grandpa has given me or when I go into his house. He just recently crossed over. It starts with needle like feelings and then itches like poison ivy. Please help! No one else in the family has this itching.

  30. I have been having itching lower legs for +-6 months now they itching gets serious n needs my attention to stretch.

  31. I went to visit a local attraction which is well known for paranormal activity,
    I have never really seen anything before, but during my visit both my arms randomly started itching, it only stopped when I left the room I was in. Is this something that makes any sense to you?
    Thanks

  32. I’ve been oppressed by demon since I was a little Boy. I was molested. Family we’re doing adultery in couples. I was made to watch my fathers porn by the baby sisters brother. He was my molester. A demon came to me and put a spell on me with the demonic voice and the swelling of my head and chest scared me. Then came the torture. Alligators biting my arm. Snake pits. Falling off a sky scraper with razor blades lined up on it, and as I was falling and entity slammed my back on the razors as I fell. Never hit bottom. please help.

    1. Hi Brian

      What you have been through is truly awful…and none of it is your fault.
      I suggest you work on perfecting lucid dreaming. That is the only way to fight back and reclaim your power over them.
      There are many tutorials on YouTube, so have a good look and see what works for you.

      I sincerely wish the best for you and go get your power back…these weak a@% losers attack you in the astral realm, so that is where you need to get strong.

      Sending you my light and love
      Susan

  33. Hello, thank you for having this comments section open!
    I’m in recovery from chronic illnesses, I’ve come a long way though the last few months I’ve had itchy eyelids, they’ve swollen up at one point too, I’ve had eczema flare up over my body and have an itch down there that drives me insane. It was hormonal at first but now constant. I’ve had tested and tried all the creams.
    I’m doing my best to release childhood emotional trauma and feeling like I don’t belong. I am aware of my freeze responses too. Anyways will leave it at that and be so grateful if any advice or messages you get for me, I am open to you tapping in. Thank you so much 🙏

  34. My hair feels like it is a wig. It feels like it is crawling with fleas. My cat also itches her whole body.
    My eyes itch. Mainly the left one. My eye lashes and eyebrows itch, also mainly the left side. My cat often has her left eye half closed. My cat scratches all over her body.
    I have been to my doctor and an eye doctor. They both say that there is nothing wrong.
    I also took my cat to the vet. The vet examined her with a microscope and said, perhaps it’s a food allergy.
    My dad died just over 6 months ago. I have unresolved sexual abuse issues. I have very vague memory of what happened. I can’t say it’s 100 percent true.
    I have no puncture wounds, no redness (except in my eye. I have no bites nor rashes.
    Please help. I’m getting quite desperate. I’m wondering if it’s brain cancer. I also seem to be getting dementia. There are a lot of my relatives that died of these last two things.
    Thank you.

    1. Hey Seema

      It is the hardest thing to get to the bottom of.

      First you must see a doctor
      Then you need to start testing out the water and the products you wash with.
      Then you can check your emotional self…and that is a big deep dive.

      Namaste

  42. Hi Susan, I’ve been having this issue of itching all over my body. It mostly happens at night before i sleep or diring the day out of the blue. Is this spiritual and what does it mean? How do i overcome it?

    1. Hi Siera,
      I think with itching, you need to dig deep and see what is emotionally bothering you.

      Other than that it could be your diet…or water, soap etc.

      Have you been to a doctor to eliminate anything topical?

      Namaste
