Emotions and energetic healing

Emotions and Our Health

Even though we, as a rational societyof human beings, often consider emotions irrelevant, especially inthe modern times of monetary madness we all live in, this has anegative effect upon our body. Ancient Chinese medicine bases all ofits knowledge upon the fact that all suppressed emotions get storedinside some of our organs, causing harm. The major emotions are fear,sadness and anger. These three negative emotions, when not let out,dwell inside us and our organs, causing numerous health problems inthe long run.

Basically, Chinese medicine believesthat anger rests in the liver, fear in the kidneys, worry in thespleen, grief and sadness in the lungs and many other emotions affectthe heart, triggering depression. Thus, we should not suppress ourfeelings and emotions. Rather, we should let them out whenever theyoverwhelm us.

Surely, it is not alright to cry inpublic, when the occasion is not appropriate. However, you mayexpress sadness when you are alone, letting it all out of your body,feeling better afterwards. Channeling emotions is crucial for ourwell-being. Letting them reside within us can only cause us harm.
