Emotional Imbalances:

 

We know we have a physical body and know when there is something physically wrong with us, i.e. if you break your leg. But what about when there is something emotionally wrong with us?  How do we know what is causing our emotional upset?

 

From the moment of our conception we are learning with the use of our five senses - touch, smell, taste, sound and sight; forming beliefs, patterns and behaviours from everything we experience, and all of this learning - positive and negative - is stored in the subconscious part of the mind and is what creates our feelings and emotions.  

 

Emotion comes from the Latin conjunction of ‘energy in motion’ - emotions are feelings in the body that have no physical cause - for example, when someone says they have a broken heart, it is not their physical heart because they are still alive, yet they feel a pain in the heart! This pain is real and exists in the energy body, also known as the aura, and this energy body will have an energy heart where they feel the pain. The physical mind and body is a replica of the energy body in solid form, if you like.

 

Emotions are very important, they can affect our mind, body and overall health. We even make decisions, not necessarily based on logic but on emotions.  Our emotions can cause mental and physical imbalances: making us ill physically; mentally crazy with our thoughts and feelings which affect our actions and behaviour. 

 

Emotional imbalances stem from past traumatic events that have been suppressed within the subconscious; these events are usually so distressing that the only way to continue to function normally with your life is to ‘hide’  the event from your memory, sometimes completely - in psychology this is called ‘splitting off’ and in Shamanism ‘soul loss’. 

 

Throughout your life you will keep ‘adding’ to this suppressed emotional energy, in two ways:

​

• by subconsciously trying to validate any beliefs you have created - positive and negative - by attracting situations that will reinforce them

• with any new experiences that trigger the same emotional response 

​​

Eventually the build up of suppressed energy causes emotional overload, also referred to as blocks, in your energy body and needs releasing. This energy is released through the layers of your emotional body, eventually manifesting in your physical mind/body and showing up as mental and/or physical illness.
