4 Easy Ways to Release Stuck Emotions
Emotions get stuck in the body and the energy centers of the body, called chakras when they are unable to be expressed at the time of the event. In this post learn what an emotional blockage is and how it relates to emotions, traumas and past experiences held in the cellular consciousness as well as discover four easy ways unprocessed emotions can be released by raising their vibrational frequency.
What is an emotional blockage?
Even though life can be busy and be a struggle, it’s important to take the time to pay attention to how you feel. If you don’t, you could end up burying emotions deep inside of you that will eventually make you sick. As I discussed in my post about Cellular Consciousness, emotional blockages are caused by unprocessed emotions, traumas, and experiences stored in the cells of the physical body, as well as those stuck in the energy centers of the body, called chakras. Clearing an emotional blockage requires one to access the suppressed emotion then organically and gently allow it to release without re-experiencing it on a cognitive level. This doesn’t mean that you won’t have to feel the emotion; it means that you won’t have to mentally go through the circumstances of the initial event that caused it to get stuck in your energy field in the first place.
How do you release stuck emotions?
Emotional blockages are held deep within the cells of the body and in the chakras, so one has to access the stuck emotional energy in order for them to begin releasing. It is best to work slowly to prevent your system from getting overwhelmed by the emotions and causing secondary trauma to occur.
CONNECT AND LISTEN
In order to release stuck emotions, you need to connect to the energy of the stuck emotion and allow it to start moving in your body. To do this, close your eyes and put your hand on your body choosing an area where you feel discomfort. Deeply connect the energy of your hand to the stuck energy. Ask yourself questions such as: what do I need to know, how is this serving me, and what would help me release this trapped emotion without expecting to receive an answer. Be open to receiving whatever information arises. It may be as simple as a message to ‘slow down’ or ‘get more sleep’. Whatever it is, trust that it is relevant and then, take appropriate action.

USE TONING SOUNDS
Toning sounds typically resonate with the frequencies of the chakra energy points. Trapped emotions, traumas, and experiences that are stuck in the chakras have low vibrational frequencies; therefore, using toning sounds can increase the vibrational frequency of the emotion, get the energy moving again, and allow it to organically release. The easiest way to use toning sounds is to sit or lay comfortably and listen to toning sounds such as singing bowls, gongs, chimes, and tuning. Let yourself be bathed in the vibrations, and allow them to penetrate every cell of the body. Check out my post How Do You Know if Your Chakras are Blocked? to learn more about chakra blockages.
ESSENTIAL OILS
Pure natural essential oils have an effect far greater than their wonderful smells. They are extracted from various plant materials and have high vibrations that can be used to loosen stuck emotional energy in the body. There are several ways to incorporate the benefits of essential oils in your life: inhale directly out of the bottle, add to massage oils, bathwater, bath salts, essential oil stones, diffusers, humidifiers, or vaporizers.
PHYSICAL EXERCISE
Exercise can help release stuck emotions as it enables the energy field to clear and charge as muscles are activated. Cardiovascular exercise strengthens the whole body, improves blood flow and circulation, and cleanses the body both physically and energetically. Yoga, dancing, jogging, qigong, or just general stretching exercises can also be used to release stuck emotions.
There you have it, easy ways you can start releasing stuck emotions. Try connecting to your body and listening for messages, use toning sounds to loosen stuck energy, try essential oils to increase your vibration, and incorporate exercise into your daily routine to activate muscles which will increase the vibrational frequency of your energy field and release trapped emotions in an organic way without having to re-experience them on a cognitive level.
