Have you noticed that your body is fighting to clear from traumatic emotions and energy ? The path to health isn’t about treating the body; it’s about embracing your emotions and looking at yourself as an interconnected whole.

Preventing poor health and nurturing your [vitality](https://richwoman.co/article/longevity-unlocking-the-child-within-to-open-the-door-to-meaningful-youthful-vitality) begins with understanding that your well-being is a beautiful symphony of interactions between your physical and[ mental ](https://richwoman.co/article/a-garden-for-the-mind-planting-seeds-of-serenity-for-mental-health)self. This harmonious[ flow of energy](https://richwoman.co/article/be-like-water-the-flowing-symbol-of-resilience-and-change) forms the bedrock of your overall wellness. But what happens when this equilibrium is disrupted?

Like a melody thrown off by a discordant note, your body and mind can fall into a state of discord rather than acting cooperatively.

Your body is more than just a physical entity. It is a remarkable system intricately linked to your emotional and intellectual selves. It is time we start viewing and treating it as such. By the end of this article, you’ll understand how your body serves as a barometer of your emotional well-being and you will be equipped with strategies to promote a harmonious flow of energy for a healthier, more balanced you. Buckle up, because the journey to your best self begins here!

Many[ holistic healing](https://www.bridgeshealingcenters.com/what-is-holistic-healing/#) approaches, such as Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Ayurveda, and certain Native American healing practices, believe in the integral connection between the body and mind and emphasise the importance of energy flow in maintaining health and well-being. For these disciplines, the body’s ability to clear negative or blocked energy is fundamental to wellness.

## Your body is an energy clearing tool

Energy, according to these paradigms, refers to life force or ‘[chi](https://www.mindbodygreen.com/articles/what-is-chi#)‘ in TCM, ‘prana’ in Ayurveda, and ‘spirit’ in some Native American traditions. This energy flows through the body along specific pathways and is critical to health and vitality. When this energy is blocked or unbalanced, it can lead to illness and disease. Therefore, the body’s ability to clear energy blockages is crucial in these traditions.

**The Nervous System:** The nervous system plays a crucial role in clearing energy. It is essentially the body’s electrical wiring. Stress, both physical and emotional, can overload the nervous system, causing various physical and mental health issues. Techniques such as meditation, yoga, and [Tai Chi](https://richwoman.co/article/tai-chi-s-healing-power-an-ancient-secret-to-vital-energy-and-a-happier-life) can help calm the nervous system, allowing the body to start clearing the accumulated energy.

**The Lymphatic System:** This system detoxifies the body and protects against disease. It serves as a medium for clearing unwanted or harmful energy from the body. Regular physical activity, dry brushing, lymphatic drainage massages, and staying hydrated can help maintain a healthy lymphatic system.

**Sleep:** During [sleep](https://richwoman.co/article/9-ways-to-balance-your-sleep-cycle-and-stay-focused-while-in-self-isolation), our bodies repair, regenerate, and detoxify. A healthy sleep pattern allows the body to clear out energy debris and realign our energy fields.

**Nutrition:** Proper [nutrition ](https://richwoman.co/article/mindful-eating-breaking-the-cycle-of-cravings-for-comfort-food)helps to balance the energy within your body. Nutrient-dense [foods](https://richwoman.co/article/5-foods-that-put-anglophone-diners-off-french-cuisine) provide the energy required by your cells to perform their tasks, including clearing energy blockages. Limiting intake of processed foods and ensuring a [diet rich in whole foods](https://richwoman.co/article/10-reasons-why-memory-loss-happens-and-the-surprising-superfoods-to-reverse-it) can help maintain a balanced energy field.

**Breathing:** Deep, mindful breathing is another way[ the body can clear energy.](https://chopra.com/articles/6-pathways-to-remove-negative-energy-from-your-mind-and-body) It can calm the nervous system and improve the flow of energy. Breathwork can also help clear mental and emotional blockages.

**Nature:** [Taking walks](https://richwoman.co/article/rejuvenating-nature-walks-your-best-friend-this-summer) and spending time in nature can help realign our energy fields. Nature’s rhythms can harmonise with our own, helping to clear blockages and restore balance.

**Mindfulness and Emotional Release:** Acknowledging and [releasing emotions](https://richwoman.co/article/how-to-express-your-emotions-without-suppressing-them) can help [clear energy ](https://richwoman.co/article/5-easy-steps-to-check-and-clear-your-energy)blockages created by emotional trauma. Techniques for this include [therapy,](https://www.sharonrosenbloom.com/services/) [journaling](https://www.neverendingbookseries.com/store/be-you-rich-daily-inspiration/), mindfulness practices, and emotional freedom techniques like tapping. [Art, street dance, yoga classes](https://www.sovereignmagazine.com/2019/04/30/art-drama-street-dance-and-yoga-classes-improve-emotional-wellness-and-boost-confidence/) are powerful and therapeutic tools for your wellbeing, at any stage in your life. It is never too late to explore new forms of emotional release.

By combining these approaches and maintaining a consistent self-care routine that includes both physical and emotional wellness practices, you can enhance your body’s ability to clear energy. Just as you would take care of your physical body by eating healthy and exercising, so too should you take care of your energy body. Remember, the body’s capacity to clear energy is not a one-and-done solution, but rather a continuous process that contributes to overall health and wellness.

In holistic health paradigms, there’s a strong belief in the body’s ability to communicate its state of well-being through physical manifestations. Various symptoms and conditions can, therefore, be understood as the body’s attempt to process not only physical but also intellectual and emotional energy. This recognition enables us to consider our health as a holistic spectrum, connecting our physical health to our emotional, intellectual, and spiritual well-being.

**Swollen Glands**: In traditional healing practices, swollen glands, often associated with an immune response, as the[ body is fighting an infection](https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/swollen-glands/) and symbolise the body’s attempt to rid itself of harmful energies. These glands, part of the lymphatic system, are believed to not only filter physical pathogens but also emotional toxins, which might accumulate due to stress, anxiety, or other emotional challenges. Thus, when glands swell, it might be an indication that the body is trying to process and clear an overload of emotional energy. ***Do not self-diagnose***. See a medical professional if you’re worried.

**Skin Conditions**: Your skin, as the largest organ and the outward covering of your body, often manifests your internal state of health. A pimple, for example, might signify that the body is ridding itself of toxins and [stagnant energy](https://richwoman.co/article/5-easy-steps-to-check-and-clear-your-energy). From a holistic perspective, skin conditions like acne, eczema, and psoriasis can be seen not as surface-level problems but as deeper indications of emotional or intellectual unrest. [Emotions,](https://richwoman.co/article/unravelling-the-invisible-chains-of-emotional-abuse-038-why-narcissists-use-gaslighting) [thoughts, ](https://richwoman.co/article/turning-thoughts-into-steps-paralyzed-man-walks-again-with-ai-using-the-power-of-mind)and experiences that are not processed effectively can lead to the accumulation of ‘toxic’ energy, which the body then attempts to clear through such physical manifestations.

**Digestive Disorders**: The gut is often referred to as [the second brain](https://amzn.to/42jmzmu) due to its intricate network of neurons. Conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome, gastritis, or simply feeling ‘butterflies’ in the stomach may indicate that your body is trying to process certain emotional or intellectual energies. Mental stress or [anxiety](https://richwoman.co/article/afternoon-tea-a-social-institution-038-a-timeless-british-tradition-challenging-anxiety-crisi) can manifest as these physical conditions, signalling a need for emotional detoxification and rebalancing.

**Muscle Tension and Pain**: Chronic muscle tension, particularly in the neck, shoulders, and back, can be a physical manifestation of emotional stress or intellectual over-stimulation. These areas are often where we ‘carry’ our stress, and the chronic tension is the body’s attempt to shield itself from emotional pain and [trauma](https://richwoman.co/article/writing-to-heal-recover-from-trauma-and-boost-your-immune-system).

Remember that these interpretations do not replace professional medical advice. They are complementary perspectives that aim to understand health from a more holistic viewpoint, considering the interconnectedness of our physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual selves. While it’s important to seek appropriate medical care for physical symptoms, recognizing the potential emotional or intellectual origins of these symptoms can provide an additional layer of understanding and facilitate overall healing.

Listening to your body, practising mindfulness, and taking time for emotional self-care are crucial for maintaining this balance and nurturing holistic health.
