If your body is physically injured, say you sprain your ankle or injure your wrist, at some point, for some people, arthritis will develop in those weakened areas. That’s because those areas are thought to be weakened, even though the initial injury has healed, thus making an ideal environment for arthritis to develop.
* Posttraumatic Arthritis
“This can develop many years after the initial injury. An injured joint is about seven times more likely than an uninjured joint to become arthritic, even if the injury is properly treated. Arthritis of the Foot and Ankle - OrthoInfo - AAOS”
Let’s apply this example to emotional stress/trauma on the body.
The emotional stress/trauma that a person experiences is stored within a particular area of the body; even more so for those who have a tendency to hold in their emotions, thus creating weakened areas within that body region.
If one experiences a physical injury, and they apply the above example as to why that particular area of the body was injured - why was that area of the body the weak spot for the injury to be able to occur? Is this an area where emotional stress/trauma is stored?
For me, the answer is yes!
"Emotional information is stored through “packages” in our organs, tissues, skin, and muscles. These “packages” allow the emotional information to stay in our body parts until we can “release” it. Negative emotions in particular have a long-lasting effect on the body."
Let's take a look at a few energy healing avenues available one could explore in the releasing of stored emotional stress/trauma.
* Reiki - dates back 2500 to 3,000 years. Was rediscovered in the 1900's by Dr. Mikao Usui.
* Acupuncture - dates back approximately 3,000 years ago in China.
* Myofascial release - dates back to 1960 by John Barnes, PT.
* Chakra system - first mention in the Veda's, ancient sacred text of spiritual knowledge dating from 1500 to 1,000 BC.
* Crystal healing - dating back 6,000 years to the time of the ancient Sumerians of Mesopotamia.
* Reflexology - origins date back to 2500 BC to ancient Egypt.
* Sound healing - can be traced back more than 40,000 years to the use of didgeridoos by indigenous Australians.
