Our emotions are literally energy in motion. When we find ways to block the energy from moving through our body, we end up storing emotions in our cells. Some ways that we learn to bypass our emotions include dissociating, addiction, perfectionism, judging ourselves and being critical of others.
When we experience something that evokes negative emotions and we don’t allow that emotional energy to come out of our body, it doesn’t just go away; it remains inside of us and much like my son’s physical energy, emotional energy will try anything it can in order to be released from our bodies. For instance, one might start to cry for seemingly no reason, and based on what we know about energy, it is very likely that the body is attempting to release some emotional energy that we haven’t given it the opportunity to release. When we don’t give ourselves the opportunity to release emotional energy and because this energy doesn’t go away, it often manifests itself in other ways i.e. anxiety, depression, anger outbursts, ADHD, etc. It can also manifest itself in physical symptoms such as autoimmune disorders, headaches, chronic pain disorders, difficulty sleeping, obesity, and COPD. We have to “feel to heal” When we allow ourselves to feel our feelings, we give our bodies the chance to let go of stored emotional energy and we free ourselves from the stress of holding onto all of that energy. With less physical and emotional stress in the body, the less chance there is of developing emotional or physical symptoms. How can we release the energy tied to our emotions? There are many ways to release our emotions from the body including talking to a safe and trusted support person, going to therapy, drawing, journaling, dancing, playing/listening to music, exercising, meditation, connecting with one’s higher power, and attending support groups to name a few. Here are a few things to keep in mind when processing your feelings during these activities: Honour them. Validate them. Accept them. Please feel free to reach out to me or someone on my team to assist you and to give you support during this time.
