Clearing Emotional Blocks

Clearing Emotional Blocks

Emotional blocks are unresolved suppressed emotions.  Your past experiences and associated unresolved emotions created self-limiting beliefs about yourself and others.  In order for your mind to protect you from experiencing painful emotions, the emotions are repressed and a defense mechanism is created to protect you from experiencing those painful emotions. Defense mechanism becomes the blockage to achieving your goals.

We are triggered daily by our past unresolved emotions.  Once triggered, we become defensive and reactive and regress back to our past unresolved emotions.  Triggers could be anger, hurt, sadness, grief, resentment, guilt, fear, judgment, abandonment, insecurities, etc.  You may be triggered by a person, a situation, song, smell, color, etc.  For instance, when triggered by anger you may deflect your feelings and become reactive and blame another or the situation.

Unexpressed emotions block body’s energy flow and  can create chronic physical pain such as back pain, stomach problems, fatigue, weakness.  This is referred to as psychosomatic pain.

To overcome emotional blocks we need to look deep inside ourselves to find the answers.  Finding, confronting and releasing the past experiences that shaped our view of ourselves and the world that stop us from achieving our goals.

While growing up, if you repeatedly heard comments that implied “you are not good enough”, you subconsciously created negative perceptions of yourself and later in life when triggered you may feel anger, hurt,  or shut down and become depressed and unable to take action towards your goals.

The memory of these experiences are stored in our body cells and this is referred to as cellular memory.  Traumatic incidents, from childhood leave an emotional imprint on our cellular memory. For example, a person who has  been abandoned as a child may have the fear of the loss of a relationship. 

Suppressed emotions lead to feelings such as depression, anger, abuse, etc.  repressing traumatic emotions only results in a negative manifestation that can be destructive to you and those around you. By allowing yourself to feel and release these emotions, you release the pain and trauma associated with it.
