EMOTIONS & PHYSICAL HEALTH

There is a growing body of evidence in the western literature that is showing the relationship between blocked emotion and our physical health. Emotions are physiological phenomena. When we fight them back with the will of our mind they have no way to flow through and leave the system. This creates a build-up of stress hormone in the body which can have an impact on digestion, organ function, blood flow, headaches etc. Here are some links to important resources that highlight the importance of learning good emotional flow for the sake of our physical health:
