Menopause Workshops Understanding Your Body, Emotions and Energy
All Life Is Energy
To understand your body and emotions we need to understand the concept of energy. Humans, animals and plant life will experience a harmonious flow of life force in good health, When we suffer from physical or emotional pain this flow of energy has either been blocked or has become depleted.
With my clients I explain energy can be likened to water. Your organs are great oceans of energy and the channels are like rivers that distribute these seas all around the body keeping your mind, body and spirit in good health.
All I’m ever doing in an appointment is clearing blockages to those channels and replenishing the depletion of energy.
Energy Blocks
To understand energetic blocks, we might imagine a fallen tree at the bank of a river, its entire trunk crossing the whole river from bank to bank and blocking the flow of water. This in turn impedes its healthy flow, creating a dam. This kind of energetic blockage creates discomfort and pain which is felt in the mind and/or body.
How To Clear Energy Blocks
Acupuncture is very effective for the immediate release of a block and sometimes it’s the only method that will clear them effectively. Breath and movement of the body can also help clear channel blockages and allow the body to flow with energy effortlessly. Face Reading clears mental-emotional blockages that in turn supports the flow of energy in the body, Coaching in it’s own way clears up scattered or foggy thinking to provide clarity of your next steps to attain mind body health in menopause.
Energy Depletion
To understand energetic replenishment of depleted energy, we might imagine a dried up lake or ocean, leaving a small stagnant pond, that’s green in colour and without life. This in turn leaves less energy for the body to thrive on and with time can cause blockages, as the flow is weakened. Once again clearing the blockages will help the river to flow abundantly filling the ocean or organs with life enhancing energy.
Replenishing Your Energy
Acupuncture is wonderful for filling up depleted energy, providing abundant balancing flow of life force. Breath and movement is also great, along with guided meditation and slow mindful movement, helps replete your energy making you feel grounded, alive and at ease. Face Reading will touch at the heart of your soul, replenishing the spirit of your true nature whilst affirming and validating your essence. Coaching also helps provide clarity on your purpose and provides mindful embodiment tools to support mind body health to refill the emptiness that may have taken over in menopause.
Emotions Are Energy In Motion
Each emotion has a differing charge of energy flow and each emotion resonates with a particular organ. Joy or lack of joy comes from the Heart within the Fire Element, anger and assertion resonates with the Liver in the Wood Element, Worry and Sympathy vibrates with the Spleen of the Earth Element, Grief and Inspiration resonates with the Lungs of the Metal Element and lastly Fear and Wisdom transmutes through the Kidneys of the Water Element.
Each emotion is a headline for a variety of feelings we may experience, eg. Fear we might not recognise day to day but a low grade hum of nervousness, doubt, anxiety and trepidation may exist. These all have a similar flow of energy that are in tune with the energetic organs of the Kidneys.
Feel Your Feelings
Latent, repressed and suppressed emotions can lead to blockages in the channels and over time depletion of energy in the organs and in turn causes illness, disease and suffering with mind and body symptoms. As emotions are energy in motion, I encourage a healthy flow of feeling, using the skills and services I offer.
In good health we ask for each emotion to be felt, they will flow in and it’s our job to acknowledge them so they can again release. A good example is trying to stifle a laugh when something has tickled you, joy rise up, we laugh and let it go. Stifling joy will energetically injure the organ of Heart and weaken the Fire Element.
However when we experience challenging feelings such as anger, fear, grief and worry, we may find it difficult to feel them. Using acupuncture, face reading, breath and movement or coaching will pave the way for stuck old emotions and beliefs to start to lift, relieving you of energetic blockages and replenishing your energy, giving you a health flow of energy giving you new horizons to explore and paths to walk down that are more aligned to your true nature.
Body, Emotions and Energy
This is why it’s important to understand your body, emotions and energy for the health of your physical and emotional health and especially so during menopause. Knowing that how you feel will affect the very life force that gives you a good flow of life. Western medicines viewpoint is reductionist in nature and looks at the hormone, the bloods, the cells but Traditional Chinese Medicine will always take in the whole body and it’s overall energy, making it an efficient natural way to support your mind body health.
