Emotional Body
What it is: The sum of all our emotional experiences up to this moment in life. The nervous system, metabolism of hormones, biochemical neurotransmitters, touch, water and water release (tears), and absorption (bloat and excess fat from not letting go, feelings of lack, and trying to control things).
It is where we hold our hurtful experiences and the attached emotions and feelings like anger, sadness, jealousy, fear, guilt, resentment, shame etc.. All are stored memories reside within the subconscious and unconscious mind and can become emotional blocks.
Sometimes, when we react in a way we are not used to, that doesn't seem like us, the reactions are due to these emotional blocks that lie within us. We are often brought to situations and people that will trigger something inside us, and open up those wounds again. This can be very painful, but it is our chance to face these wounds and to heal them.
What it represents: It represents our feelings stemming from our subconscious and conscious higher brain and relationship to all things (i.e., how we react, interpret and respond to situations and outside energies, and how we respond to something said to us).
How the emotional body manifests when in balance: You’re empathetic, open, honest, non-judgmental, and a focus outside of just yourself. Stress hormones like cortisol, insulin, estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone are more balanced and the mind, body have coherence with the heart’s energetic vitality. The body does not retain water and excess fat.
Signs our emotions are under-overbalanced: A lack of emotional intelligence, trust, and very little intuition. Living in fear and concern and lack of empathy for others. This can manifest physically as holding water within the body and face, rigidity, and joint stiffness. Mentally, it manifests as self-doubt, projection, and thinking others have a better life, which again, causes a stuck feedback loop in the mind.
Qualities of someone over-balanced toward emotional: Passive-aggressive, obsessive, irrational, irritated, depressed, overly anxious, and sense of drowning. This can manifest as weight gain (even while dieting) and too much water in the aura and system, where the body is behaving like a sponge. Alternately, too much heat can dry out the emotional body, can also manifest as being underweight or dehydrated.
How to bring the emotional body into balance: Rest and daily support that releases emotions, tension, stress, and anxiety to create healthy neurotransmitter mind-body communication. Energy is in flow like running waters with fewer rocks damning of the Frequency stream. Depending on your personality, meditation, dance, a comedy club, or breathing techniques help break through stagnancy. Yoga, sauna, detoxing or fasting (with adrenal and liver support), more touch and intimacy are key. Forgiveness and action in clearing subconscious emotional baggage are central to adrenal health, aging and overall wellness.
