We are all bundles of energy. Every process in us works on the basis of energy. Emotions are also a form of energy. It represents power in motion. This means that it cannot be contained or bottled up inside. Energy must flow. Problems arise when emotions are suppressed, bottled up and contained. Energy cannot be destroyed, but it can be transformed and channeled. But you have to know how to channel your energy and where.
Many people channel anger, sadness, jealousy, and resentment into excessive behaviors like shopping, binge eating, drinking, socializing, smoking, and pornography, and yet feel miserable. Some people channel the same emotions to build themselves by cultivating hobbies that help them express themselves such as singing, drawing, painting, building, art, etc., feeding their minds, gazing at the inside, write it down or communicate it to someone you trust, or simply spend time in nature and feel better.

Why is it essential to channel energy in the right direction?
Each cell has its own vibration. Healthy cells vibrate at a higher frequency than a diseased or unhealthy cell. When negative emotions are bottled up and suppressed for a long time, they can alter the frequency and vibration of healthy cells and turn them into a vibration similar to that of an unhealthy cell, affecting our health at the cellular level.
Today, even medical science associates deep and chronic emotions such as guilt, hatred, resentment and forgiveness with such serious conditions as cancer. In fact, forgiveness is classified in medical books as a disease, and forgiveness therapy is now used to help treat conditions such as cancer.
As you try to overcome guilt, hatred and resentment, their health also improves. But, of course, cancer is multifactorial. No reason can cause your cells to grow abnormally, but emotions play a major role in your cancer treatment.
How can your emotions trigger diseases?
A study found positive and statistically significant associations between grudges and a history of heart attack and illness, high blood pressure, stomach ulcers, arthritis, back problems, headaches and chronic pain.
Research shows that people with chronic anger suffer from colds, flu infections, asthma, flare-ups of skin diseases and arthritis more frequently than those who are not chronically angry.
Researchers from the University of Rochester and Harvard School of Public Health have found that people who suppress anger have a 70% higher risk of dying from cancer.
Tips for Detoxifying Your Emotions and Purifying Your Mind
1. A good cry
Crying doesn’t make you a whiner, and it’s not a sign of weakness. Crying is a form of releasing pent up emotions, and a good cry is cathartic. Let him out if you feel like it. The idea is to express rather than suppress.
2.Yoga
Yoga works on the concept of energy. It helps channel life force, also known as prana, and releases stagnant energy from our system. Specific breathing exercises, asanas and meditation can help clear negative energy and cultivate more positive energy. Many people also break down in tears when they sit down to meditate, as the practice helps bring out any pent up emotions.
3. Recognition
Gratitude is the highest form of vibration. It is one of the most powerful ways to turn negative energy into positive energy. Some people tend to complain about little things that are usually not under their control, such as traffic, roads, weather, pollution, etc. Their constant whining and moaning can wear them down and the people around them. So I ask them to do a simple practice of being thankful for what they have. It is impressive to see the change this creates in their energy and aura.

4. Prayers
Prayer is a humble, simple yet powerful way to channel energies. When you pray, you direct your thoughts to a force or power above you. Some call it God. Some call it the Universe. I also love talking to God, especially when I can’t meditate or reflect on something I need to process. Praying transforms your fears and uncertainty into faith and feeling protected and guided. And it can bring immense peace and strength to the heart.
5. Writing
Writing down your thoughts can help you purge what you’re holding on to. It is also a form of expression. Poets express their emotions through poems, writers through lyrics, and authors through books. Why are some scripts so touching? Because it carries pain, the person writing it must have gone through it. You don’t have to be a skilled writer to express yourself. Even jotting down your thoughts and emotions can help.
The last word
If all of the above does not work to help you channel your energy in a positive direction, seek help from a professional therapist or counselor. Working with emotional counselors can help you process and release emotional baggage from your body and mind. Do whatever it takes because your healing, prevention and recovery depend on it.
