How Emotions Affect the Body

We're All Just Energy

First, we're all just energy. Even the physical body, which seems so... physical... is just energy. Think of a human as being just concentric layers of energy, with the "physical" body at the center. Any problem in any of these layers in the body affects all the other layers. There are names for all these layers, but for the sake of simplicity, we'll just call them the physical body and the energy body.

When you suffer a physical injury, it creates an energy form (sort of like a cloud of energy) in your energy body at the location of the injury. Removing this energy form will alleviate the pain of the injury and allow it to heal faster.

When you experience a traumatic event, you could think of that as an emotional injury, which is an injury to your energy body, so it has to also affect your physical body. The initial reaction to a traumatic event is usually something like fear and shock. But if the trauma continues for years, it can also cause you to develop false beliefs about yourself (I'm no good) and the world (it's not safe), as well as a host of other harmful ideas and emotions. These fears, beliefs, and ideas all exist in your energy body as energy forms, similar to the ones created by injury to the physical body. Except that these originated in your energy body and can cause harm to your physical body if they aren't removed in one way or another.

Of course, some people who live through years of trauma don't experience resulting physical problems at all. Instead they develop emotional or psychological problems. The process is the same, it just results in a different symptom. The underlying cause is still the energy forms left in their bodies by the traumas they experienced.

The good news is that these energy forms can be removed from your body, and that's the first step to healing.
How do I do that?
