Help your body heal

You can help your body to heal and to be healthy by expressing your emotions. Research supports that the more the emotional baggage is felt internally, the worse it is for the body. Holding in emotions weakens your body’s immune system, which make it tougher to ward off colds, infections, and when you do get sick, you have a more difficult time getting well. According to experts in mind and body medicine, our emotions affect our bodies because they’re linked to our bodies via our immune, endocrine, and central nervous systems.  Mindfulness hypnosis can help you unpack your emotional baggage and to be OK in this moment.

to Help Your Body Heal

PsychCentral: Looking at a list of body functions affected when women or men hold in their emotional baggage is staggering. This is why when you become ill, it’s so important to evaluate what you’re feeling, and what you have been feeling for the past six months — because some illnesses, such as rheumatoid arthritis, may take months to become symptomatic.

• Constipation or diarrhea, as well as stomach pain/ulcers
• Back/Neck pain
• Depression
• Insomnia
• High blood pressure
• Anxiety/Depression
• Weight gain or loss (eating disorders always have an emotional aspect)
• Sexual problems
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Fibromyalgia
• Asthma
• Cancers (for example, pancreatic cancer may present with depression before the patient is symptomatic with cancer)

There are many ways you can help a loved one or yourself unpack emotional baggage; try these suggestions and practice them frequently:

• Laugh as much as you can. Watch funny videos and allow yourself to laugh out loud.
• Cry when you need to. Don’t hold it in — just let it flow.
• Practice voicing, “I’m angry.” You don’t have to act on it, just say it out loud and say why.
• Mindful actions. Before you take any medication for a headache, stomachache, backache, to stay awake, or to fall asleep, ask yourself: What am I holding on to? Begin jotting things down. This small action offers huge rewards.
• Massages are a common treatment for people who have gone through horrendous crisis, and they’re also a wonderful treatment for fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis. Breathe and let go of held in emotional pain as the therapist works on the body part that holds the physical pain.
