Emotions are energy in motion throughout our whole bodies. They are meant to stay in motion, to be felt and experienced, and then they release. Unprocessed emotions eventually get stuck in the body and lead to physical health conditions. Our emotional and physical well-being are deeply intertwined.

Your reality is a reflection of the stories that you tell yourself. You learn your belief systems very early, as a child, and then you move through the rest of your life creating experiences to match your beliefs. You look for evidence that these beliefs are true. They engrain deeply into your subconscious until they are accepted as fact and reality. By adulthood, most people aren't even aware of their beliefs and stories.
