Releasing emotions

The Brain, Body and Healing

/ Tim Custis / Leave a comment

Your body is a wonder and does so much more than you think or know. Only considering it one thing, like a temple or a vehicle to use on this human journey is so naïve. For example, it is a storehouse of emotion, information, and energy. Of course, all things in their purest form are energy.

Many think that the brain is where all data is stored. However, this is far from the truth, unprocessed elements are often left behind in various parts of the body. In fact, this unprocessed energy can be stored anywhere in the body. This type of energy can affect you immediately or lie dormant for years undetected and then rise up causing illness, pain or emotional upheaval after trauma or some other trigger.

There are many ways of exploring and releasing this energy. For instance, certain types of bodywork like Spiral Release Bodywork®, energy work, yoga or meditation to name a few. Each one of us must find the path that allows us to let go. Just be careful that your own conditioning does not fool you into thinking you are on the right road only to wake up years later realizing you are still lost. When progress is being made when your life changes for the better rather than remaining the same, you know you are going the correct way, which will need rigorous honesty on your part.

Life needs us to bring greater awareness into our lives to heal, to reconnect with our True-Self and to release the False-Self, the person we have become from this energy and our conditioning. If we are not willing to feel our pain and emotion, then we are destined to live out our lives in a haze never realizing the greater possibilities available to us.

Insights to Releasing Obstacles

You cannot completely resolve any difficult obstacle in your life without feeling all the emotions associated with that event. They must be fully felt and then released. Otherwise, the leftover energy of the unprocessed emotions will be stored in your body. When this energy is strong enough, it will influence your choices and behaviors in life, and it can even begin to affect your health. Sometimes you can see these influences, but usually, it happens below your level of awareness, unless you are paying attention.

Remember that your thoughts can fool you into thinking that you have worked through everything. However, if you did not, this residual emotional energy will reinsert itself back into your life through your thoughts and actions. This is why paying attention and being aware of your thoughts and actions is so important. Through this attention, it will be revealed to you if you have more emotion or energy to release. Know that you cannot be fooled by your thoughts if you watch them without attachment.

Being Controlled by Unseen Forces

You have a mixture of feelings like anger, fear, worry, sadness, hate… in you, stored in your body. These feelings are repressed, stuck and hidden from your awareness. The thought that just came up, did you hear it? It might have said you are just fine or that what I said is not true. That is part of the stored emotions defense mechanism to keep them hidden from you. Moreover, they affect your daily life in many ways that are unknown to you. For instance, they can influence your behavior and the choices you make. If you go through life thinking that the only feelings you have are the ones you consciously know about then you are deceiving yourself.

“If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.” – Nikola Tesla

Have you ever overreacted to what someone said or did to you? Of course you have, everyone has at one time or another. The reason that you overreacted was not from what the other person did or said. It was because what they did or said triggered similar emotions that are stored in your body.

Everything is energy and it has a particular vibrational frequency rate (VFR). When this rate is similar to the stored energies in your body, they can be triggered and this is what causes you to overreact. We may not even realize that we overreacted or it may become clear later after we calm down. Some of the people experiencing our overreaction will see it immediately and wonder why we reacted the way we did. Others may internalize this experience creating some of their own stored emotional energies. Maybe you cannot remember overreacting at all, but you can remember being on the receiving end of someone who did.

Do you hear what I am saying? These stored emotions affect your choices and behavior in life on an subconscious level.

Shining the light of awareness on them is often all that is needed. Other times it requires questioning and going into the body to release them. This is not a mental exercise and you cannot think your way out. This is a feeling exercise using your body. For example, when you are in one of these states, where in your body do you feel sensation? Can you find it and not thinking about it? Do not use words like sadness and anger because they have a history, and will trigger the story that you tell yourself. Just find it in your body, feel the sensations, be curious and sit with them. Strip away the words and stories; feel the aliveness in the moment in your body. Know that the places you are feeling are calling out for your love and attention. They are not your enemy, but a friend seeking your empathy and compassion. You have nothing to fear. Yes, it may feel uncomfortable, but know that you are safe. Being present and in the moment with these sensations will empower you, if you are open to trusting the process.

Being in the presence of certain VFR’s can transmute our stuck emotions. For example, certain types music, poetry, movies or healing modalities, like Spiral Release Bodywork®. A higher VFR can transmute a lower VFR; this means it will actually raise its vibration.

Just know that once you become aware of a stored emotion, you will be safely guided to releasing it in whatever way is for your highest good. Remember life never gives you more than you can handle and any thought that does not support this truth is in support of the very thing that is holding you back. Pay attention when these thoughts come up and let them go, the thought alone does not make it true.

Short and Sweet #185 – Releasing Difficult Emotions

/ Tim Custis / Leave a comment

The one requirement for releasing difficult emotion is to feel them and not resist. Doing anything else but feeling them, is resistance. Emotions are energy and by feeling them, you allow the energy to keep moving, otherwise it will become stuck.

You do not have to wallow in them, mull over them or try to figure them out to let them go. In fact, trying to figure them out means you have to hold onto them until you do. Yes, there are times when figuring them out helps, but most of the time this is not necessary. If you need to know then you will, without question, trust this truth. So in the end what would you prefer? Figure them out, wallow in them, mull over them for days or let them go?

If you prefer to let them go, then do not be afraid to feel them. Whatever your mind is saying to you is not true. The only truth here is what you feel and this cannot hurt you. Your thoughts will pass as they always do, so let them go. If you attach to them, you will hold onto the emotion and suffer longer. You have experienced this before, so you know what I mean. Remember do not waste any time in shortening your return to joy, by feeling what you need to feel and move on.
