The power of emotions is real.  The intensity of feelings and emotions can help heal our body, or help to destroy it.  And yes, we choose which direction and what we want to experience.

Few people realize the direct and deeper connection between our emotions and our physical body.  Yet, they easily realize that when they feel “stressed” they get a headache (migraine) or muscle aches in the neck and shoulders.  Some people who experience extreme nervousness or anxiety feel physically sick to their stomach (nauseous).  What few people understand, is the true power of the mind and emotion to create physical pain.  This physical pain often leads to chronic pain.  If the emotional pain is not treated properly, chronic pain can lead to major problems in our body that may cause major damage.  

Here are a few examples of emotional and physical connections (but remember, there are MANY more!).  Are you able to identify with any of these connections?

1.  Back Problems: This is common for those feeling no support, can’t cope with emotional difficulties, feeling burdened emotionally, feelings of frustration, or wanting someone to “get off my back.”

2. Left Knee: This is common for those who need to be more receptive to events, feelings of insecurity, experiencing unresolved stress. Stubborn, ego and pride get in the way of making healthy decisions. Unable or does not want to be flexible.

3. Right Knee: This is common for those who need to be more assertive and make a decision or not wanting to give into authority. Stubborn, ego and pride get in the way of making healthy decisions. Unable or does not want to be flexible.

4. Migraine Headaches: These are people are are unable to unable to flow easily with life, want to take things at their own pace, dislikes being pushed or forced to do things, has the inability to handle pressure or stress for long periods of time, and pushing to control or wants to control.

5. Stomach problems: This is common with people who have a sense of their security being threatened, fears new ideas, lack of affection, condemning the success of other people and having unhappy feelings.

There are SO MANY other physical symptoms we could outline that have their “root” in emotional pain. So what can we do?  Are we just victims and have no control over it?  Or, do we just continue taking a “pill” to cover those symptoms?

I HIGHLY suggest for you to consider an alternative way of healing your emotions and thereby bringing physical relief to your body.  Working with professionals who understand the mind/emotion/body connection is imperative. This can be done with massage, foot zoning, biofeedback, EMDR therapy and other forms of energy/emotional healing.  Recent research in quantum and vibrational frequencies have shown a variety of medical equipment can provide relief as well.
