Sometimes, our bodies carry around sad or chilling feelings. Our bodies are capable of recalling even when our minds attempt to suppress them. These accumulated feelings can cause you to become tense, tired, or anxious. They may show up as physical pain, such as aches, or a heavy heart.
At Heal Deeply Live Fully, we use acupuncture for emotional wellness to help people release these stuck feelings and feel calm, balanced, and happy.
Let’s consider how acupuncture releases emotional trauma stored in the body.
What Is Emotional Trauma?
Emotional trauma occurs as a result of something very frightening or saddening. It is possible to retain the feelings even after the event is over.
Some signs of emotional trauma are:
- Tight muscles in your neck or back
- A heavy feeling in your chest
- Stomach problems
- Trouble sleeping
- Feeling tired or cranky
These are normal feelings. However, they may make life difficult when the length of their stay is excessive. Acupuncture can help.
How Does Acupuncture Release Emotional Trauma Stored in the Body?
Acupuncture is the result of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It involves minute needles that are extremely fine in order to stimulate some areas of the body referred to as acupoints.
These are located on energy lines known as meridians that transport energy in your body, known as Qi (pronounced “chee”).
Stress and sadness block energy in the body. Acupuncture helps it flow again, making you feel lighter and more relaxed.
Here’s what acupuncture does for emotional wellness:
- Calms the Body
It may cause trauma that makes the body think that it is under constant attack. Acupuncture makes the body feel safe and at ease.
- Helps Mood Chemicals
It can boost brain chemicals that will help you feel happy and relaxed, such as serotonin and dopamine.
- Reduces Stress
Acupuncture reduces stress and improves circulation, making you feel less stressed or anxious.
- Supports Sleep
Sleeping is good for making your body and mind better. Acupuncture will allow you to sleep better.
- Encourages Mindfulness
You can notice your body and feelings. During acupuncture. This will assist you in knowing your feelings.
Emotions Are Connected to the Body
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the various emotions are related to specific organs:
- Grief is connected to the lungs
- Anger is linked to the liver
- Fear is related to the kidneys
- Worry is tied to the spleen
Emotional problems may arise when the energy of an organ is inhibited. Acupuncture harmonizes these organs and the feelings associated with such organs.
For example, chronic sadness can cause your chest to be heavy. Acupuncture may assist your lungs to set this sadness free so that your body feels lighter.
Why Trauma Stays in the Body
When something scary or upsetting happens, your body reacts quickly. It tightens your muscles, speeds up your heart, and makes you breathe faster.
Your body may still be holding onto these feelings sometimes, even when your mind has moved on. This may lead to tension, fatigue, or mood swings.
Acupuncture can easily release these blocked emotions, making you feel smoother and more at ease.
