GAINING EMOTIONAL BALANCE TO ACHIEVE PHYSICAL HEALTH

Those who aspire to complete wellness must recognize that we are made of more than just physical attributes. Most people are aware of the need to help the physical body with good diet, exercise, quality supplements, and so forth, but the physical body is only part of the whole being. The emotional portion of our being must also achieve healing for complete wellness to occur. The truth is that the physical body is often held back by old, deeply buried emotional hurts and most of them are unknown to the conscious mind.

The Spirit, Soul and Body are all very inter-connected. All problems or imbalances inter-connect in some way. The physical manifestations (physical) are the most evident symptoms in most cases, and they require the least amount of “work”. Thus the focus of the GWSW Program has been placed on Diet, Lifestyle and use of the basic supplements needed to keep the fundamental functions of the body running smoothly. Bringing health and balance to the physical body allows it to process emotions more clearly and healthily and it also allows for more spiritual awareness. The physical body has trillions of electrical networks so it is not hard to imagine that when imbalance on a physical level occurs, it creates a kind of short circuit for all activities associated with that area.

Science used to believe that emotions were stored in the brain, but it is now understood that the organ tissues of the body actually store and process emotions. That means that the amount of health in a particular system will dictate how well we will process the emotional experience connected to that system. (See bottom of page for correlation.) If the system is healthy, the emotion processes without creating a negative reaction and it is simply stored as an event. In these cases, the body adapts without feeling excessive stress or causing harm. If the system lacks the health to process the emotion, you feel very stressed about the situation and the event is stored with a negative impact on the tissues of that system. Keep in mind that the unhealthier we are on a physical level, the more risk we run in being unable to process emotions in a positive way. *When emotional traumas that are beyond control occur (rape, abortion, physical trauma, violence, lack of parental love, religious perceptions, etc.), the pain of the situation is stored in the tissues of the body and inhibit normal actions and functions of cells. These negative programs have a terrible impact on the physical body, so we need to help the body adapt to a point where it does not perceive those old negatives as harmful.

The tapping protocol explained here has shown dramatic effect in converting negative emotions that may be inhibiting wellness into positive expressions that are no longer harmful to the tissues of the body.

There are several ways of obtaining/creating negative emotions

1. They are inherited from our parents; we cannot be more than the sum of their best.
2. We often obtain incorrect perceptions in utero or as small children because small children perceive stress to be their fault.
3. Learned behaviors from other people who were not good examples or influences (parents, guardians, piers).
4. Lack of nutritional balance results in chemical imbalance that inhibit the hormones required to process emotions in a healthy way.
5. Traumatic experiences, which include but are not limited to experiences such as violence and rape or being an eye witness of a crime all get filed in tissues of the body as negative equations.
6. Experiences or situations that hurt ones feelings repeatedly will also create negative patterns or programs to form. Many of these are part of real life, but they are circumstances of stress. Example: Being in a situation that does not get better, but does not seem to have a way out (bad marriage; dead end job).

TIPS FOR ATTAINING EMOTIONAL BALANCE

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. It takes practice if you are not used to it.
Ask forgiveness of anyone you have lied to, stolen from, cheated or otherwise been dishonest with in any way (present or past).
Forgive yourself and others in any area of your life that creates bitterness, anger or painful thoughts (deserving or not).
Find joy in helping others and being kind to them even if they don’t deserve it knowing that God will reward you for it.
When other people cause you stress realize where the people causing you stress are at. You see, you are a sum of all the things that have happened in your life. How your father and mother treated you, how your piers in school treated you, how you felt you should have gotten treated, relationships gone sour and everything else contributes to the way your brain currently processes every experience of life. It’s the same for everyone else too. So when someone else is giving you a hard time, just get a mental image of them feeling very hurt inside and they don’t know how to act or react any better. They are the way they are because of too much hurt in their emotional heart. If they are that full of hurt, have compassion on them because they are in worst shape than you!

IDENTIFYING EMOTIONAL AREAS THAT NEED ATTENTION

1. List the five most significant stressful events of your life. Use the first five that come to mind, don't try to rationalize which might be worst than the other. Certain events have already been dealt with, so you are interested in what your brain still considered negative. This will be the first five that come to mind.
2. Do you remember any stresses or events that occurred at or around the same time any of your physical complaints began to manifest?
3. Do any of your physical complaints become more aggravated or noticeable during certain emotional times or stresses?
4. What are your passions? What fulfills your heart? You might call this your calling.
5. What are the three most important priorities in your life right now.
6. Is there any person or obstacle standing in the way of fulfilling your passions?

THE EXERCISE OF GIVING

CLEARING CONGESTION: Get rid of things you no longer need. Clean up and clean out closets, sheds, attics, basements, your car or any place where you stash things. If you are too sick or busy to do it, hire someone to do it. When you give away old things, you unconsciously rid yourself of old problems. Give freely with no strings attached, which means no stipulations with the gift.
INVEST WISELY: Be conscious of where you spend your time for the investment of time is the investment of life. Are you living it or watching it go by in reality shows, in criticism, in bitterness, in the bar, etc. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Place time and importance into thanking people, showing respect and courteous to everyone alike. No person is better than another.
FINANCIALLY: Catherine Ponder writes, “You do not honor the rich creator or the Earth through poverty.” While this begins as a state of mind, you cannot achieve success in any area of life without investing something into it. Tithe ten percent of your income to those who are doing God’s work. Where you place your money is where your faith is.

ANGER. If norepinephrine levels get high and serotonin levels are low, anger, rage and aggressive behavior occur.

EUPHORIA. Dopamine is thought to be the hormone which produces the feelings of euphoria.

FAITHFULNESS. Oxytocin is associated with feeling nurtured or cared for. It creates feelings of loyalty, faithfulness, community.
