One Telltale Sign Your Body Has Been Talking To You, But You Haven’t Been Listening

Have you ever considered the mind-body link to physical ailments and issues?

Why is it when we’re under stress our pain gets worse?

How is it possible when we think of certain memories our symptoms become stronger?

In my work I see this regularly - I help people release emotional blocks that stem from painful autobiographical memories.

Several years ago I worked with a man who had a limiting belief he wanted to release. He returned recently to address the emotional root of a health issue called Meniere’s. 

Of course he’s seen a doctor, he’s also worked with an acupuncturist, a chiropractor, made diet changes, explored crystal healing, as well as a few other approaches.

Meniere’s involves bouts of dizziness, impaired hearing, and even tinnitus. To say this was creating upheaval in my client’s life would be an understatement.

Because conventional approaches were not yielding results he decided it was time to address any possible emotional links that could be contributing to this issue.

Some of us learn to suppress our emotions in childhood. Perhaps they weren’t acceptable and the backlash made everything worse. When emotions are suppressed over and over for a long period of time it becomes an unconscious habit that happens outside of conscious awareness. In time these suppressed emotions tend to manifest as physical issues.

The body expresses what the unconscious harbors.

Over the course of his session we found a treasure trove of experiences that were suppressed and forgotten. 

It’s common for people to think of a past painful event and tell themselves, “I’m over it, it’s in the past” meanwhile the emotional stew is still simmering away inside them. This means it is still affecting them.

During the course of his session we discovered a mountain of traumatic grief and loss from the past two years that needed to be released.

During this releasing process, using a combination of FasterEFT™ and Havening Techniques® (both are psychosensory modalities which briefly connect to emotional memories while using touch to depotentiate the response in the amygdala - the stress detection center of the brain) a fascinating thing happened.

My client literally felt the pain and sensations draining out of their right ear (the affected ear) like sand through a hourglass (a metaphor he used).

Once the burden of those memories had lifted he felt happier than he had in a very, very long time.

We will be doing another session shortly to make sure all the releveant memories have been addressed and fully released.
