EMOTIONS, THE MIGHTY MESSENGERS
by Carla Muth
I am in pain, so why bother with emotions? Medical science is now
understanding that our emotions cause us to be sick. It's estimated that
at least 85% of all diseases are created by one's emotions and thoughts
(mind pattern)? How you feel is a better indicator of your health than a
clinical examination? Not everyone catches that flu bug going around...
When you suppress emotions, you can create physical dams in your body.
These blocks can be very stubborn and dense, depending on the degree of
emotional trauma you have endured and the length of time it has
persisted. The largely determines your need for protection. Energetic
knots, especially the fear-balls, limit the flow of the Vital Life
Force, which adversely affect your overall health. A clogged pipe
restricts the flow of water throughout your house. Finding and clearing
the jam allows the water to flow freely. Emotional therapy can empower
you to release internal blocks created by unresolved emotional trauma
and your thoughts.
Medical science is now understanding that our emotions cause us to be
sick, or more specifically, it is the blocked energy from repressing
them that causes problems. When you were ill as a child, did your mother
ask you what was going on at school or what you wanted to avoid? Or
maybe you needed extra attention from her? Did you feel special?
It’s estimated that at least 85% of all diseases are created by one’s
emotions and thought (mind pattern). How you feel may be a better
indicator of your health than a clinical examination. Not everyone
catches that flu bug that is going around. Carcinogenics are everywhere
but not everybody gets cancer. Identical twins don’t always get the same
illnesses. There are people who have never smoked a cigarette and yet
developed lung cancer. You have seen people who count every calorie but
can’t seem to lose weight and those who are nutritionally meticulous,
but often seem to be sick.
Your are what you feel and think. Every event is recorded in the body.
If an episode is too painful or fearful, you may bury it deep within
your psyche so that you don’t have to deal with it and enter into a
state of denial (the foe of transformation). Disturbing feelings may
become entombed in your
subconscious mind, often resulting in memory gaps in the past. This
de-press-ion produces energy blocks within the body. Trapped energy is
really a symptom of an inner war, an
external and internal conflict usually stemming from a sense of
injustice or inequality. Compacted anger, fear, shame or guilt can
create a huge drain of energy as well as a kind of body armor that is
used to protect your heart from further abuse.
Some emotional healers see depression as protracted, tenacious and
unrecognized despair that gets stuck in the body. It is not just a
condition, nor is it a problem, but rather, it’s a symptom of a problem.
Many people prefer to make it a medical disease (especially
pharmaceutical companies) and take a pill rather than go into the dark,
disturbing emotions of hopelessness. This is rather like bribing a child
to stop whining without having to deal with the real problems. But
eventually, hurtful emotions will try to work their way up the surface
as dis-ease. This often occurs during middle age (“midlife crisis” is
real!), when your body tries to get your attention to heal an internal
wound which may have been laying dormant for years. A new ache awakens
all the old ones. Your body is trying to help you to heal
emotionally.
PAIN is your anger or resistance to the underlying emotional problem. It
is also a way to keep punishing yourself for not being good enough
(guilt). Most dysfunction stems from
anger, fear or rejection. Physical health ultimately follows your
emotional state. Trying to heal the body without feeling the
emotions is like attempting to revive a plant with water while depriving
it of light. Physical motion allows you to express
e-motion. Pain tends to restrict movement, creating a type of prison,
which anyone with a disability can attest to. Plenty of life force
energy, introspection, and change will help to free you. You can choose
to blame outer circumstances for your hurt, or you can decide to face
your inner health. You’ll actually feel safer without the old armor
because you will not longer need a guard on duty.
It is often difficult for psychotherapists or emotional release healers
to quickly get to the core of a problem because of a reliance mainly on
what their clients tell them. Many of the traumatic experiences we have
as children (and sometimes as adults) have been blocked from our
memories, (akin to a
mental sun screen), but our body faithfully remembers. It’s hard to heal
an illness or to forgive a trespass unless we know just what it is.
Denial cleverly camouflages the headquarters of our real distress.
Revealing the core problems, releasing the mind pattern and negative
energy from the body, can open up a life teeming with new possibilities.

DO WE HAVE TO DELVE INTO THE PAST?
Many of us learned as children that it wasn’t safe to fully and honestly
feel our emotions, let alone to express them!
“Children are to be seen and not heard,” was the catch phrase of many
generations of our parents. It is no wonder that so many tonsils were
yanked out! How often do parents unknowingly dismiss their child’s fear
or anger? Johnny cries, “I’m afraid of the dark,” and his
father responds, “There’s nothing to
frightened of,” sending this terrified child back to his room. The
lesson is that it’s not okay to be afraid and to obey. He also learns
that it is not all right and it’s weak to show his sadness because “Big
boys don’t cry.”
It’s okay to express the “good emotions” of happiness, patience,
self-control and love, but the more difficult ones, such as anger,
jealously, anxiety, fear or guilt, bring us rejection and
isolation? This teaches us to ignore or to stifle them. We begin to
erect a model of how we are “supposed to” act and feel? We see our
mother tell a neighbor that she is “just fine,” while we know she is
sick or upset. Children are natural empaths, but as our
language skills improve, we learn how to lie, ignore, deaden, or malign
our true feelings and we end up telling people what they want to
hear? We tend to carry this pattern right into adulthood as we keep
recreating the emotional environment of our youth? By the time we are
three years old, we have developed dominant mind patterns; that is, a
manner of thinking about
ourselves and others in our life. We generally treat ourselves the way
our parents managed us, both negative and positive, as all of our
experiences are based on what we believed about our world, what is
familiar to us.
By repressing our emotions in the body (they have to go
somewhere) and living in our head, comfortable interacting with devices,
such as ATMs, gas pumps, e-mail, and answering
machines, instead of people? We can spend hours on-line in chat rooms
but don’t know our neighbors. We fear contact and yet are scared of
being robots. We can reconnect with society by being honest with our
emotions and learning how to embrace and listen to them. What you feel
is your real life. What you say think or do is powered by emotions. It
is a world of feeling but we try to make sense out of it with the mind.
You need to be in your body before you can really feel emotions. Then,
if need be, you can transmute them into more positive feelings.
This separation compels many of us to laminate our heart with a kind of
body armor to protect it from
further hurt. The layer may thicken and harden throughout the years,
leading to a sense of isolation, an emotional retreat, or an addiction
to drugs, alcohol, sex, TV, shopping, sports, work, food and so on.
These distractions or dissociations aid us in “feeling no pain” and
gives us time off from the body, which often goes on autopilot. It is
more common than you may realize. Have you temporarily spaced out while
watching TV, daydreaming or
driving your car?
Many partners know that there is a way of leaving
someone
without actually moving out. The heart can shut down emotionally while
still pumping blood through the body.
When you suppress emotions, you can also create physical dams in your
body? These blocks can be very stubborn and dense,
depending on the degree of emotional trauma you have
endured and the length of time it has persisted? This largely
determines your need for protection. Energetic knots limit the flow of
the Vital Life Force, which adversely affect your overall health. A
clogged pipe restricts the flow of water throughout your house. Finding
and clearing the jam allows the water to flow freely? Sound, movement
and ethereal energy empower you to release internal blocks created by
unresolved emotional trauma and mind patterns underlying a condition.
