Detoxify Your Mind

Emotion: A conscious mental reaction (as anger or fear) experienced as strong feeling usually directed toward a specific object and typically accompanied by physiological and behavioral changes in the body.

Looking at this definition of Emotion keep in mind what emotion is. Emotions are Energy in Motion. And what is Energy? Energy is being active. No wonder when after we experience an emotional state we feel exhausted. We are exerting energy to sustain our emotions. Some emotions require large amounts of energy such as anger and fear. And we can add even more energy to those emotions by trying to suppress or control them. I’m not suggesting that a person should not control their emotions; I’m stating that it requires energy to do it.

Everything living requires energy. Where is your energy being used? Are you always angry or upset about something? Are you frustrated with situations, people, or things in your life? All of these require massive amounts of energy from us each day, energy that could go towards healing our bodies. Yes, Energy heals.

Now lets get back to Emotions. So what do our Emotions have to do with healing our bodies? Our body is a living organ. Energy sustains life. And if we are diverting energy away from healing our bodies and exerting it into emotions that are detrimental to healing, we are literally killing ourselves with our thoughts and reactions.

Take time to detoxify your emotional (Mental) state. If things are causing you mental exhaustion, anguish, and frustration, maybe it’s time to rid yourself of it. Finding a Holistic Health and Wellness practitioner can be your first step in that direction.
