Episode 28: How emotions & mental states can affect our Qi – and how we can restore balance & flow

Have you ever felt scattered or ungrounded after a shocking, frightening or distressing event? Or felt so stressed that it changed your breathing pattern? So angry that your chest and head felt hot? So worried that your stomach was twisted up in knots? So sad that your chest felt heavy and dull?
In Chinese Medicine we understand that, aside from environmental effects or traumatic causes, emotions are the main cause for dis-ease in our systems. The ancient doctors and sages observed the specific effects of each emotional state on the sum total of an individual's Qi, or the totality of their unique energetic field. Even modern science concurs that we are predominantly "empty" space - not as solid as we might think, and rather composed of a multidimensional symphony of frequencies. If not processed and allowed to move out of the field, emotions can inhibit the flow, harmony and coherence of our energy.
Luckily, the ancients also codified many simple and accessible ways that we can move through these emotions and restore balance to the body-mind-soul. In this episode, I share some basic balances for common emotional experiences that many can relate to.
