Identifying & Releasing Emotional Blocks
If you've explored Heal With Hope you are likely aware that my research, along with my personal experiences, have led me to believe that most illness has some type of emotional root. The traumas, hurts, and stresses that we experience in life, and even before birth, can become trapped in the body...causing energy blocks that in turn wind up manifesting as physical & emotional symptoms. The challenge is figuring out what the emotions are, and where they are trapped in the body.

EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) is a great technique for releasing physical and emotional symptoms. While it is easy to learn this tapping technique and do it on your own, working with an experienced practitioner can be immensely helpful in identifying the root of the buried emotion. I remember my first EFT session, the practitioner I was working with (Ruth Stern) asked me about my parents, and I told her what I felt at the time: "my parents were great and I know for a fact there are no emotional issues surrounding them..."

Through my work with Ruth I began to recognize the patterns of anxiety and fear that developed from having a mother who was ill equipped to handle the emotional aspects of motherhood, and a father whose behavior was erratic due to alcohol abuse.All of which manifested in unhealthy patterns of thought and expectation, which resulted in a host of physical and emotional symptoms. What amazed me, and still does to this day,is that I was unable to see these things until I pulled back the curtain and was guided to take an honest look.

EFT proved to be a powerful tool that aided in the release of these blocked emotions, and replaced them with healthier thought patterns. Though I no longer work with Ruth on a regular basis, I continue to use EFT on my own when needed...and find it very effective and beneficial.

The Emotion Code is another great technique for releasing the blocked emotions that may be at the root of your physical and/or emotional symptoms. Dr Bob Christiano, an alternative practitioner I've worked with for many years, recently added The Emotion Code to the host of healing services he offers. 

This technique created by Dr. Bradley Nelson helps him uncover the root cause of his client's health issues, and it has certainly proven to have had a positive impact on my healing journey. Dr Bob uncovered 10 trapped emotions, and we have been slowly working on releasing them. Being a very sensitive person I've learned to take things slow and take baby steps when it comes to this type of healing work.

If you are struggling to find answers to your health problems, I would strongly suggest you explore the emotional connection. You will find articles on this website, and of course a web search can lead you to many other great online resources. 

If you would like to consult with Ruth Stern or Dr. Bob Christiano, you can visit their websites: www.TapToTransform (Ruth Stern); www.NewWaveWellness.com (Dr. Bob). As always, I do not accept any paid advertising or endorsements, these recommendations are based solely on my personal opinions and experiences.

 Healthy wishes, Andrea  :-)
