Some of us are highly emotional and express our emotions openly, others of us not so much.
Every one of us has our own way of dealing with emotions too.
No matter how we tend to cope, share and manage our emotions not many of us realize just how many emotions we carry with us that we aren't even consciously aware of.
Emotions that can quite literally be "weighing us down" on an energetic level.
You might not think that's such a big deal except for one thing - we are energy!
Our entire body is made up of energy and an energy field. When that stops moving or flowing properly what do you think happens to us?
For many of us our first thought when we have any kind of "ailment" we can't seem to take care of on our own is to go to the doctor as many of us tend to do. Over the years however, other forms of traditional medicines & therapies have become more and more popular.
Modern medicine sometimes just doesn't seem to be able to provide the answers we are looking for, so we look elsewhere. We have to!
One of the more famous quotes from Dr. Bradley Nelson author of "The Emotion Code" is: "Anything can cause anything!"
After years of working with clients of all kinds this is something he knows first hand to be true.
Some of the biggest culprits he's uncovered that were contributing factors to chronic pain as well as other physical, mental & emotional health issues that couldn't be explained by modern medicine was the negative energy of trapped emotions people had been carrying around unknowingly.
(For the long version of how he did this you'll have to get the book or follow along on my journey)
Emotions are energy.
What we think of as emotion is the experience of energy moving through the body. This is generally felt as sensations of contraction such as tension or expansion such as calm. The Latin derivative for the word emotion, ‘emotere’, literally means energy in motion.
We are designed to process our emotional energies, but sometimes, that process gets interrupted.
Our subconscious mind (which is responsible for making sure we function as designed) has to decide what to do with the emotions that weren't processed. Those emotions tend to get stored until later - the problem is, later never actually comes.
Have you ever had one of those moments when something really intense happens, something that results in the creation of some really strong emotions and then all of a sudden something interrupts what's going on?
Maybe you heard some really bad news, or were shocked by something terrible you saw and before you had a chance to really "go through all the emotions" as they say that come along with those situations you got interrupted.
Ex: Your partner just ended your relationship and just as you were going through some pretty intense emotions related to that situation your kids came home and you suppressed what you were going through to "spare their feelings".
Perhaps you just found out you lost your job, and then someone called to tell you your Grandmother has passed away. You can only feel one emotion at a time. Which one do you choose? Your subconscious mind isn't emotional it simply keeps track. If you weren't able to process anger, sadness and grief all at once it will just hang onto a couple of those until you have time later.
The problem is, life just keeps on happening!
You have a family to take care of, or other responsibilities you have to fulfill so you keep on going and new emotions come up with every new experience or situation you find yourself in.
Turns out we never get back to dealing with the emotions we had put away for later.
Eventually, you end up feeling like you're carrying "the weight of the world" on your shoulders.
That "twinge" you got in your back when you were holding onto your child trying to get through the hardest day you've had in a long time, maybe it's never really gone away?
You painted all the time perhaps and created the most beautiful pictures, but ever since you lost your best friend, you just can't seem to get the creative juices flowing.
Our subconscious minds can also be trying to send us messages too through emotions.
For centuries medical people or healers have recognized that specific organs can create the same "energetic frequency" as certain emotions.
If someone was always angry or easily angered they would check or treat for liver issues. Hence the "angry drunk" - cause a weakened liver from drinking can help produce that energy quite easily.
If people constantly had anxiety the stomach or spleen were suspected. You and I both know if someone is anxious before a big event they tend to get an upset stomach.
This could go the opposite way as well. If someone was constantly angry they believed it could cause damage to the liver, etc.
A quote from Karla McLaren sums up well how we tend to think of our emotions and the energy they carry.
"We work with nutrition and exercise to increase our energy, but we ignore the richest source of energy we possess - our emotions".
What if a lot of the emotions you were unknowingly carrying around weren't the ones with the good kind of energy?
What if taking care of ourselves means taking care of ourselves on every level possible?
Our physical needs, our mental needs, psychological and energetic/emotional needs?
While I've had some very interesting personal experiences in my journey to become a certified Emotion Code Practitioner and will hopefully soon be able to start helping people recognize and release these trapped energies and improve balance in their overall well-being, I understand the skepticism of many who are not as familiar with the idea of emotions being something that can hold that much power over our health, wellness and lives in general.
I have one question though for those who are unsure such a practice can make a difference:
Suppose you could release some negative energy you didn't even know you had, and you had to do very little to actually do it - what would you have to loose by giving it a try?
