Emotions and the connection within our body

Emotions and how they manifest inside the body.

On my journey of healing and self discovery i was blown away to find out about trapped emotions within the body and how it effects me.
Been chroniclly ill and living with chronic pain it has been the biggest learning i have done this allows me to manage my health better,it also has taught me to listen to my body and how i live my life.
I have been on alternative road to helping me heal i have been using a mix of maori health and reiki to release the emotions that i have trapped and this is after years of been abused, trauma and having a rollercaoster of a life.
Just imagine carrying years of crap and all this crap comes with emotions and what we do with these emotions and how we carry our emotions. Everyone is carrying emotionally baggage some are worst than others, past trauma, negative exeperiences in life, relationships, careers and life in general.

How does these emotions get trapped within the body

Its a process within your body and the connections, when you experience a situation that scares you, your afraid, your body activates the flight-fight-freeze response.

We feeling the emotion those thoughts that coming up with the emotion and this where a connection is made between the mind and body.
Then we process the emotion.
The feeling is coming from your nervous system telling you something.
Interruption occurs along the process and as result it becomes trapped.
Trapped emotions are like that little voice we have i our head, between true self and the false self not wanting us to express it.
