How do we know if we have healed ourselves from old emotional wounds?

By: Ryon Rain (Chyanne Herr)

As a culture, we often pay more attention to outward stimulations than what is happening

internally within our bodies. Emotional wounds can often present as health conditions if left untreated for long periods. Many times can be linked directly to our organs.

Liver, gallbladder: Anger, generosity

Feelings of anger and rage affect your liver and then move up the body into the cranium. This

can lead to migraines, dizziness, a lack of clarity, and many other uncomfortable sensations

in this area.

Worry and grief may affect the digestive tract and can lead to problems with

your gallbladder.

Lungs, skin, large intestine: Grief, Courage

Sadness and grief can lead to discomfort felt in the lungs, skin, and large intestine.

Sadness depletes your body of energy and can cause chest pains, shortness of breath, and

even chest tension. In Traditional Chinese Medicine the lungs control your pores, which is

why skin issues like dryness and sensitivity can result from an underlying issue with

the lungs.

Heart, small intestine: Impatience, love

The heart is often considered the body’s most vital organ. The heart reacts to strong

emotions of hatred or impatience. These negative emotions can lead to heart palpitations,

brain fog, insomnia, and many other more serious disorders.

Kidney, bladder, Fear

These organs are the first to respond to fear and adrenaline is released by the adrenal

glands.

The adrenal glands are responsible for dealing with physiological responses. This may be

presented to you as having to urinate in times when intense fear is being experienced.

Spleen, stomach, pancreas: Anxiety, trust

Referred to as the Gut Feeling, there is a strong connection between your gut and brain,

this is often the home of many strong emotions.

Anxiety is often felt in the spleen, stomach, and pancreas. An abundance of worry can

often lead to many digestive issues and have a negative impact over your quality of life.

People with emotional disturbances are more prone to constipation, spastic colon, and

irritable bowel syndrome. Digestive issues and anxiety seem to be at an all-time high right

now in our society. Positive emotions such as trust, and vulnerability are also experienced

in these organs.
