Releasing Trapped Emotions through Qi Energy Healing

Everything is made of energy—including our emotions!

Emotions are meant to “move” through us, but sometimes they get trapped in our bodies, creating “emotional baggage”. That “baggage” gets re-triggered and re-activated through the course of our lives, creating distress, discomfort, pain, injury, illness, and generally speaking imbalances in the body. Think of these trapped emotions like an app on your phone that’s running in the background all the time, even though you’re not using it, and causing it to overheat. Trapped emotions are draining our precious life energy (or Qi)!

Why did those emotions get trapped? Usually because we were not able to process or deal with those emotions when they arose at that point in time.

For example, someone may have a trapped emotion of “abandonment” from being abandoned by a caregiver when they were 5 years old. At that time, they perhaps didn’t have the skills or perhaps support to fully express and deal with this emotion, so it got trapped in their subconscious to be dealt with/released later. The trapped emotion may come up in other situations (causing the person to re-experience that emotion as if it was happening again), or it may show up as a physical ailment that persists as pain, discomfort, or imbalance.

Our bodies remember everything, and part of that “remembering” is trapping emotions until they can be processed and released later.

There’s lots of ways to release trapped emotions, from therapy to art to journaling and more. But my favorite way to release trapped emotions is through energy work—mostly because it helps identify those difficult emotions with more ease and releases them without re-living them. For folx (like me) who maybe have a hard time identifying and expressing their emotions in general, the modality I use can be particularly helpful and time-saving!

I look forward to helping you release your trapped emotions so you can find relief, peace of mind, and balance in your body.
