Ancient healing systems have known about the body's energy field for thousands of years. But recent discoveries are confirming it's reality, as well as revealing new ways in which unseen energies can affect us.

Emotions can sometimes become 'trapped' in our body's energy field, and can cause a wide variety of physical illnesses.

Do you ever feel like you are still carrying around some emotional event in your past that you would rather forget? Whether you realize it or not, the fact is you probably are still carrying things around, in ways you might not have imagined.

Debbie thought she was having a heart attack.  She had crushing chest pain and difficulty breathing; her left arm was completely numb, as was the left side of her face.  She said it had been gradually getting worse for 24 hours.  I immediately had her lie down.  After checking her vital signs and seeing that they were normal, I checked her heart for energetic imbalance.  Her "heart circuit" was blown.  Via muscle testing I asked her body if this imbalance was emotional.  Her body answered yes.  The emotion was anguish.  I continue to test her, to see if we could determine when this emotion had become "trapped" in her body.  We went back about three years and then could go no further.  When I told her that the trapped emotions was anguish from three years ago, she started to cry and exclaimed "I thought I'd dealt with all that!  I can't believe that is showing up now"  I asked "can you share with me what happened?"  She replied that three years before, her husband had had an affair.  The news was devastating to her.  All she could for months was weep, and she said that she felt like her heart was being torn out of her body.  I took released the trapped emotion from her body, and within seconds the feeling came back into her arm and into her face.  Suddenly her difficulty breathing and the chest pain and heaviness were gone.  She left the office a few minutes later, feeling completely fine.

Susan had an earthquake phobia. Living in California, you get used to earthquakes.  Small earthquakes occur in California every day, and are large enough that they make the news several times a week.  The smaller earthquakes, typically around to 2 3 on the Richter scale, are not felt by the general population unless you are within probably a mile or two of the epicenter.  Susan was different.  She felt every earthquake, no matter how small.  A feeling of panic and impending doom would come over her which felt an earthquake, and she would feeling urge to hold onto the walls or something solid, even though she logically knew that the room wasn't moving.  I asked her body if there is any kind of trapped emotions might have anything to do with this phobia.  Her bodies answer was yes.  In 1972, was Susan was young girl her home was mere yards from the epicenter of that deadly earthquake occurred in California that year.  The emotion that we uncovered through testing was terror; the emotion become trapped in her body during the earthquake, and never been released.  We released the emotion.  Susan was delighted to find that her earthquake phobia was suddenly gone.  She could no longer feel the small earthquakes, and, a few months later, when we had a fairly strong earthquake, she went through it with no feelings of panic or terror.

Jane had originally come to me for treatment of her migraine headaches.  As we talked, however she revealed to me that she suffered from night terrors.  I was astonished to find out that,  2 to three times a week, Jane would wake-up screaming in the middle of the night, from a horrible, recovering nightmare.  But this was not just any nightmare.  She had broken multiple bones including sustaining a skull fracture from diving out of bunk beds when she was younger.  Now, as a married woman with children, their mother screaming and thrashing around several nights every week awakened her children.  After trying unsuccessfully for many years to overcome this problem, Jane had given up.  In Jane's case we found a number of the emotions that become trapped when she was a young girl.  By releasing these trapped emotions over the course of several weeks, we were able to put an end to her night terrors.  I think her children were more grateful that she was!

Thousands of years ago, the Chinese correlated each emotion that we experience with different organs in the body. Many years of careful observation taught these ancient physicians that various emotions seem to actually emanate from specific organs and glands in the body, and too much of any emotion can cause congestion and imbalance in that organ. For example, if you have an abundance of anger in your life, eventually your liver or gall bladder (or both) will become imbalanced. Of course, here in the West, we believe that the brain is the seat of emotions as well as all intelligence, so these old beliefs seem a bit odd, to say the least, and are dismissed as "poppycock" by many of the learned physicians of our day. Nevertheless, the more we learn about the mind-body connection, the more we realize that we really don't know anymore where the mind ends and the body begins. Maybe the Chinese were right after all.

When certain emotions are too powerful for us to handle, a short-circuit is created, and a part of that emotion is 'trapped' within the body. This trapped emotion is essentially a 'ball of energy'. We all know what static electricity is; imagine scooping up a ball of static electricity, then imagine pushing this ball into your body and leaving it there for a year or two. Would that be healthy

We are all subjected to various emotions every day of our lives.  We usually are able to process these emotions without too much trouble.  We experience the emotion as it passes through us, and we move on.  I've realize however, that emotions are processed on two levels; physically and mentally.  Sometimes certain emotions are so powerful that the physical body does not process them.  These emotions become "trapped" in the body, and lead to all manner of physical illnesses.

Over my years in practice, I've seen a wide variety of interesting cases in this regard.  For example, a patient named Mark came to me wants for treatment of his tennis elbow.  The pain in his right forearm was so excruciating that he was unable to turn the key to start his car.  After working on him for about one week, and seeing no improvement, I decided to probe more deeply and see if perhaps there might be an emotional basis to his illness.  What I found fascinated me.  When I asked Mark's body if his problem was due to a trapped emotion, the answer was yes.  We proceeded to clear five or six trapped emotions that were somehow affecting the muscles of his forearm.  The funny thing was, each emotion had actually been picked up during high school, from girls who had rejected him.  Through our testing, we were  able to put a specific girl's name on each individual trapped emotion.  He apparently got rejected quite a bit during high school!  Amazingly, with each trapped emotion that we cleared the discomfort level in his forearm would decrease immediately.  When we finally cleared the last trapped emotion, the pain was completely gone.  He had his full range of motion back, with no further trouble!

How can a trapped emotion exert that kind of pressure on physical tissue in the body?  Frankly, I don't know.  But I believe that the trapped emotion, which is a ball of energy, distorts the magnetic field of the body, thereby distorting the physical body itself, thereby causing pain and malfunction.

A fairly high percentage of the time when we cleared a trapped emotion from body, a patient will tell me that they have been through therapy for that particular event or difficulty in their life.  They will often ask me why this particular emotion is showing up now, when they were supposedly treated for it already.  This is an excellent question.  My answer to patients is that the therapies help them to deal with it mentally; the treatment that we do helps them to deal with it on a physical level.

I have come to believe that these trapped emotions are responsible for great deal of suffering and illness in our world.  I can't tell you how many times I have seen patients in acute pain find instantaneous relief with the release of a trapped emotion.  Just recently for example, I saw patient who was complaining of pain in her right ovary.  I asked if the pain was emotional, her body said yes.  I determined that the emotion was frustration, that it was related to the patients frustration with the female, in fact it was frustration with her mother.  When I told her of my findings, she said "Oh my mother.  She called the three days ago on the telephone and dumped all her problems on me.  Gosh, I wish she would just get a life!"  When I cleared the trapped emotion from her body the ovary pain was instantly gone.

I believe the day will come when all physicians will realize the danger of trapped emotions and the importance of having them released.
