1. The effect of bottling up emotions - Genz&U genzandu.blogspot.com/2022/10/the-effect-of-bottling-up-emotions.html GenZandu The effect of bottling up emotions Once according to Psychology, most human emotions fell within the universal categories of happiness, sadness, anger, surprise, fear, and disgust. But a new study from Greater Good Science Center faculty director Dacher Keltner suggests that there are at least 27 distinct emotions that are intertwined. The cliches that we say or hear every day such as “cold feet,” “a gut reaction,” or “a shiver down your spine”? hold more water than one can imagine. These sayings reflect the emotions that we are feeling in our bodies and unless we choose to address them they will keep giving us the same reactions. Most of us don’t take the time to unravel these emotions which is an essential part of addressing them. Let’s begin with the Discovery of our emotions so we can bring in Clarity and ultimately take action to release them. 1/3

2. We humans are so used to running that we do not take the time to feel the emotions because they scare us. We are driven by fear of emotions. But if we don’t feel the emotions we continue to live in fear. It took me 10 years to stop and feel all my emotions thus healing my past which is when I was able to find my purpose and let go of all my fears. Now I feel my emotions. I don’t eat them; drink them or substance abuse them. So, the first thing we all need to ask ourselves is how is it that we want to lead the next x amount of years in our lives, in fear or feeling our emotions and allowing them to flow so they can guide us and we can show up in the world authentically and fearless. Emotions manifest in our bodies in the form of emotions Every body part is related to storing an emotion. Let us visit emotions and related body parts. Grief is the emotion of the lungs and the large intestine. When grief is unresolved and becomes chronic, depression and an inability to “let go” things can arise from this lung energy deficiency which interferes with lung function and oxygen circulation. Since our lungs control the flow of energy in our bodies, we must give ourselves space to deal with painful events rather than stifling them. worry is the emotion of the spleen/stomach/pancreas network, organs associated with the earth element. When we overthink or go into a state of anxiety a knot is formed in our stomach which prevents us from digesting our food. A weak spleen can also be the cause of weight problems. Anger / Frustration- Rage, fury, and aggravation damages the liver. We have outbursts of anger when we don’t address incidents as they happen. We let emotions pile up in our body which if they don’t find a form of release slowly eat up our liver function. If we don’t keep the anger pent up we can maximize our life and bodily function. Happiness and joy are directly related to our hearts and associated with the fire element When we have an open heart and feel joy and happiness we strengthen our heart function. When we have a closed heart, are sad, and do not process the sadness we have heart problems. Have you ever heard a doctor say that we have done open heart surgery but blockages could happen again, which is because if we do not process our past hurts and experiences and remain sad we could potentially damage the heart function? Yoga is one way of opening our hearts. It helps us move our energy throughout our bodies. It’s a journey to ourselves through ourselves. Liver imbalance, and kidney and bladder issues occur when longstanding anger and irritation go unresolved. Anxiety can cause stomach bloating and stomach swelling. Fear is the root of anxiety. Anxiety can also stem from physical or emotional abuse, neglect, 2/3

Your body is a reflection of your mind. Verbalizing your emotions when you feel them and not suppressing them will bring joy, creativity, wholeheartedness, and love into your life so let’s together express what we feel and maximize our potential while keeping our bodies healthy and happy.
