Have you noticed how we are now more willing than ever to invest time, effort, and money in our physical well-being? Whether at the doctor's, getting allergy tests, in gyms with personal trainers, or at nutritional clinics. With due respect to each of these professions and professionals, it makes me wonder how little most of us know about the unknown link between our energy body vs. our physical body.
I like to think of my physical body as an outermost layer or a shell that protects my energy body. My energy body contains all the information about me, including my thoughts, feelings, and fears or anxieties we may have buried deep inside us for so long.
As we go through moments in life, we see, sense, hear, feel, and create associations and emotions with every event. We then store these in our subconscious mind (95% of our brain), and this directs our conscious brain ( 5% of our brain) with instructions. Another interesting fact is that our subconscious brain has most of its files and folders from when we are between 0-7 years of age.
So for all practical purposes, we live our entire adult life taking instructions from our subconscious brain created when we were less than seven years of age. Of course, as we continued to breathe and live through moments, more and more emotions and beliefs were created and stored in their respective folders.
What is the significance of the above to the physical vs. energy-body conversation we started with?
Over time, our energy body starts getting full, and our energy valves start getting blocked; this is where the interaction happens with the physical body. We start seeing our immunity go down and certain physical pains in parts of our bodies, and if we don't recognize these blocks, this can transpire into physical illnesses.
As I did my personal development inner work, I discovered I have a big subconscious fear folder every time I face an audience, and it is where I have stored all my fears and limiting beliefs, and emotions of feeling like an imposter, feeling like I disappointed the audience or a figure of authority and sometimes even myself. This manifested as a pain in my left ear, almost like a buzzing sound.
Having worked on myself, I have been able to correlate particular physical pains and stress with the associated emotion. And I proudly and humbly have been able to reduce this fear dramatically. For that matter, many others associate fears with this fear.
So you might ask, how does one reach that point of self-awareness, and you may even wonder why one would not just take a pill to reduce the pain?
To answer the first question, there are various techniques to unblock these energy valves blocked by all these emotions. My favorite is EFT ‒ Emotional Freedom Technique, more popularly known as Touch and Talk Therapy, and it has the freedom to unlock your energy body at your fingertips. It combines the wisdom of ancient ayurvedic and chi with modern psychology. As you tap, you open these energy valves, discover the root cause, detach the emotional charge from the event, and feel less attached to the event or the emotion.
How is this or other inner work methods better than taking a pill? To answer this, I want to start with this little but growing known phenomenon. It has also been scientifically proven that our thoughts become our beliefs, and our beliefs become our reality. So imagine I have to present in front of an audience. If I can now access my subconscious folder and connect with the moment or moments in time and reduce or disassociate the limiting emotion of being disappointed in each of those moments and, in fact, now feel a bit silly realizing that I didn't disappoint anyone, the event and the outcome is either not significant now or wasn't as significant. I am now empowered to rewire the impact of the event or events. I can't ever change the past, but I can influence its impact on my present and future life. So the difference is between using a bandaid or choosing to go for a deep cleanse to heal from a challenge completely.
To summarize, if you are currently challenged with ongoing physical pain, illness, low immunity, or a sudden physical bodily injury, I would encourage you to
Be open to understanding the impact and interplay between the physical and energy body.
Start to notice any patterns or triggers in your physical body pains and illnesses and notice if there is a particular pain, an emotion of belief that is coming up repeatedly.
Invest equal time, effort, and money with certified emotional well-being practitioners to complement your investment to support your physical body.
The unknown and uncommon link between our physical body and energy body is a vital key to truly living a healthy and happy life full of vitality.
