Life is not all black and white

When we are unable to process or express an emotion as it occurs, the energy of this becomes trapped within. We are energetic beings and energy is always in movement - it needs to flow.

The Effect of Trauma 

When we think of trauma, we usually consider it in a context of something huge - the typical life experiences of losing someone we love, divorce, a life threatening illness and so forth. 

However, many things in life can be causing us mild trauma all the time. Not feeling heard, understood, accepted, liked, loved, appreciated. 

We feel many emotions at any given time. Although there may be an over riding one such as anger, we will still have others running  in the background, fear, embarrassment, lack of self worth and so on and on and on ...

The subsequent energy blocks formed, have a negative effect on our energetic flow. This can result in physical and mental health challenges, as well as the more obvious emotional ones.

This is what Dr. Nelson - the Emotion Code, Body Code and Belief founder - says about the effect of trapped emotions on physical pain:

" ​A trapped emotion is a sphere or area of pure emotional energy, ranging in size from a baseball to about the size pf a small melon. Trapped emotions may become lodged anywhere in your body and when they do, they ultimately end up causing emotional, mental or physical effects. Trapped emotions exert a distorting force on the body's energy field. This distortion affects the tissues of the body, creating physical pain and malfunction. Every biological function taking place within a sphere of trapped emotional energy is going to be affected to some degree, including cellular processes, chemical reactions, blood flow, lymph flow, and the flow of acupuncture meridian energy.

This is the reason trapped emotions cause so much physical pain and discomfort for so many of us. If you're experiencing pain right now, there is a high probability that your pain is being caused, in whole or in part, by trapped emotional energy."
