Emotions in the Body

Our Emotions rule our lives. We make our decisions in everything we do based on our emotions. And most of those decisions are based on our past experiences. Our DNA houses all those emotions somewhere in our bodies. Repeat the same emotions over and over again and you will find a disconnect in the synapses of our being. Our thoughts are energy and our bodies house that energy. Too many repeated negative thoughts in one place and you build a dam that stops the energy and creates a roadblock. Pretty soon that area of the body becomes tight and sore. Our body continuously tells us where there are roadblocks, but most of us don't know how to listen to those signals.

We think, oh I am sore there today, I must have pulled something or overworked that area yesterday. Or Oh my does that hurt, I don't remember doing anything that would cause that pain. When what is really happening is a build of congestion in that same area of repetitive emotional thoughts. Then you have the proverbial "Straw that broke the camel's back" syndrome. Just one more negative thought and you are waking up sore someplace.

So this blog is set up to help you recognize those MINOR "Oh that's just a little bit annoying, but oh it's not that big a deal, I can handle it" pains. What we don't understand is that those little annoying pains, don't go away if the thought pattern isn't changed.

So how do we know what thought patterns are causing today's hindrance. Think about what it is that is going on in your life right now. Okay, I know everybody has a hundred things going on at once. But what is that thing that wakes you in the middle of the night or that you are thinking about when driving the car or you have it on your mind just before you drift off to sleep? That's the thing that is probably bothering you the most. It's the thing you have an opinion on already. It's impossible, I can't do it, It won't work. What are you feeling about that issue? Are you sad, angry, helpless, tired? Those are the thoughts that cause the annoying niggling pain that you have all of a sudden developed. So put it metaphorically, "Your co-worker is a pain in your neck." So stop and think about the pain in your neck and how you can get relief from that pain. Is it a matter of talking to the co-worker, quitting your job (pretty extreme) or finding a way to think about what it is that triggers you about that co-worker? Once we realize what it is that triggers us, you can be sure it probably has something to do with the way you reacted to a similar situation when you were a child. And there's that emotion again that has been with you since you were a child. And you have repeated that same emotion whenever you get into a situation similar to the one you are currently in with the co-worker. Ah but you say, I have never had this pain before. And I say, that's the dam building up and blocking that energy pathway.
