Did you know that emotional issues can cause physical pain? It is also referred to as cellular memory. When a traumatic event happens in your life the emotions from that experience gets locked in the cells of your body and causes dis-ease, illness, or a restriction. It may not present itself initially in your body, but over time it will show up. I’ve seen people who have taken on fear and anxiety from their mother while still in the womb, mothers who never released the pain from a miscarriage, and adults that still hold the trauma of physical abuse. How is this possible? Have you ever felt someone else’s pain? Tensed up from the sight of a child falling? Take that to the extreme. The emotions of a traumatic experience stay lodged in the body until we are willing or ready to release them. If you have an illness that just isn’t going away it may be an emotional blockage. My daughter’s molar had been causing her a tremendous amount of pain. I remembered that when she was ten the dentist was to replace the sealants and I was sent out of the room. There was a cavity and they never advised me that they would freeze her and fill the tooth. It was her first filling and traumatizing. That trauma was surfacing now, five years later. I walked her through a few steps to release the emotional pain and there was relief and surprise in her face afterward. If the emotions hadn’t been released she may have eventually endured a root cannel. Healing is powerful.
