Emotions and the Body

Your body records and remembers all your negative feelings - that is if you keep them. Feelings are great, they tell us many important things - but we should not become storehouses of negative feelings - just the positive ones! The following is a primer to get you thinking about what parts of the body stored or unresolved emotions affect.

Kidneys - fear
Fear can manifest physically as kidney stones.
Fear from abuse can affect this area.
Guilt and shame can also manifest in the bladder area (part of the urinary system/kidneys)
or in the sex organs resulting in cysts, tumors, infertility, menstrual problems (guilt and shame = anger that has been turned inward with no resolution).

Spleen - worry, reminiscence, and over-concern

Heart/Pericardium - shock and grief, trauma, emotional stress

Liver - anger (especially the unreleased variety...gee, what are you keeping it for?)

Lungs - grief
If you don't cry when you feel deep sorrow...over time that emotion will settle in your lungs and asthma will develop

Gallbladder - CONTROL (are you a control freak? well STOP now!)
This could be controlling, being controlled, or even out of control. Gall stones in the gall bladder = solidified anger from the liver

Pancreas - resentment or bitterness, dwelling on the past
Stop judging yourself - what you did, what you didn't do, what you should have done...and if you are hanging around with someone toxic who keeps reminding you of your shortcomings or mistakes...tell them goodbye! Life is a learning process, so be on your way and live in the present!

When we become aware, we are learning. YAY!!! You are never too old to learn something new.

Hugs,
Gin
