The Connection Between Emotions and Physical Healing

One of the first books I started with was Louise Hay’s “You Can Heal Your Life.” Within this book is a sort of diagnostic encyclopedia for many common and even uncommon dis-eases.

What it had told me many years ago was that my blood clots were the result of closing down the flow of joy within me...and I knew that to be true. I just didn’t know how to resolve that. It didn’t matter how positive I tried to think or how much I concentrated on feeling love and joy, my mind would keep returning back to the same pessimistic pattern of thinking as before.
Now that was until I learned how to do much of what I have talked about in this book. It was before I started validating (giving value) to my feelings about what had happened to me as a child. It was before I had remembered even how to feel those feelings. It was before I learned the power of Forgiveness and how amazing re-parenting my inner child could be.
Until I learned all of that, those thoughts were kind of trapped within me...bound by the very energy I wanted to change.

After reading some of the Abraham-Hicks books such as “Ask And It Is Given” and “The Art of Allowing,” I started to realize that it wasn’t just what I was thinking that was my problem. It was what I was feeling about what I was thinking that prevented me from healing.

The problem I had was that every time I started to feel, my default program told me that it wasn’t safe to feel what I was feeling or express that, so my mind shut off the feelings and either repressed, denied or avoided them.

But then I learned in Self-Mastery that feelings are a natural part of life. I learned that “processing healthy feelings can be as natural as processing healthy food. They are designed to be ingested, digested, processed and eliminated.”
But since I was taking in experiences that caused me to feel, but never actually feeling those feelings, I was unconsciously sabotaging the natural process of feeling my feelings.
As I started to apply the exercises I learned in Self-Mastery, I started having what was essentially “emotional bowel movements.”
Sometimes what that meant was that I cried for several minutes if something touched my heart. Sometimes it meant that I suddenly felt my feelings very intensely...and early on when that happened, it was scary as hell.
But over time, as my mind started to acclimate to feeling my feelings, a shift started to happen. Instead of thinking about my feelings first, I started to feel my way through my experiences first.
By doing so, I realized how much energy had been trapped within me for so long...and I realized that because most of that energy was negatively charged, it had been primarily that which had caused the various ailments in my body that the doctors could not figure out.

I started to realize that my reality was constantly mirroring back to me a reflection of the negative energy I still carried within me. So for example, if I kept having relationships that disappointed me, it was not that I just needed to find the right woman. It was that I needed to find the disappointment I carried within me, release it and replace that with hope and optimism.

If I was experiencing pain, embarrassment and shame about my body, I found that no matter how hard I tried, I could not heal it or lose the weight that I was seeking. But once I let go of the feelings that were holding me back, I found that foods that I once enjoyed and contributed to my weight issues just no longer appealed to me. I found that if I went too long without exercising, I could feel the sluggishness within my body and I wanted to exercise. It wasn’t about looking in the mirror and having my mind tell me what I should be doing. It was about what I was now motivated to do.

In “You Can Heal Your Life,” Louise Hay documents how she was once told that she had terminal cancer and through the application of these principles, the cancer went into remission and has never returned.
I recently read a similar account by Brandon Bays called “The Journey.” For anyone that is struggling with a physical dis-ease that the doctors cannot effectively treat or explain how this happened, I highly encourage you to read her book. She has some great exercises to use that you can have someone coach you through.
I use her techniques in my own practice occasionally. It’s all essentially the same idea...just slightly different applications, but that difference can be huge for some people who have not found healing elsewhere.

I often wonder if almost all dis-ease is related to our emotional energy repressions and how much different our healthcare system would be if practitioners employed traditional Western medicine with emotional energy medicine. Each certainly have their place and we still have a long way to go.

I hope that someone reading this can benefit from what I have learned or knows someone that can benefit.

For anyone seeking a coach who understands the miracles of the physical / emotional healing phenomenon, have them contact me.
