Memory

Most of us know that the memory processes take place within the brain. Information about past events is stored there.

Facts

It is usually acknowledged that the brain stores facts (what, where, when, why) about what we experience during our life journey. However, when we remember some events, we usually do not only access the facts but also the feelings connected with them.

Feelings

It is legitimate to wonder where these feelings and emotions get stored. The most straightforward answer is they are stored where they are felt, which is in our body. Depending on the emotion, the place where it is stored may be different.

Some examples are: fear/butterflies in the stomach, heartache/betrayal in the heart, and sadness in the lungs. The place where the feelings are stored is what is called a cell memory.

Dealing with negative memories

While we can treasure memories which elicit positive feelings, there are also bad or traumatic memories we wish we could forget forever.

Forgetting facts

One common way to cope with the latter ones, is to avoid thinking about it and focus on positive things instead. When we do so, the memory becomes repressed in the subconscious and is therefore not present anymore in our conscious awareness.

In other words, we managed to forget the facts. However, our body does not forget and will still be triggered by the past negative event.

Actually, any situation looking similar to a bad memory will trigger the same negative feelings. It is likely that we will not make the connection as we ‘forgot’ the events. This is how we end up feeling controlled by negative emotions and it can become a vicious circle.

Releasing feelings

In order to break free from toxic emotions coming from the past, it is important to deal with it in a conscious and healthy way. To take back control, we have to dig into the subconscious to find the repressed memory and the corresponding negative emotions.

An effective way to achieve that is energy healing. Energy healing uses high frequency energies to unlock the repressed memories at the cellular level giving an opportunity to the healee to consciously let go of the emotional charge. Once the process is complete, we become free from the particular memory which has been released forever.

It can take time to complete the process, especially if we have been repressing bad memories and feelings for many years (i.e. we did not know how to deal with them in a better way). To go faster, learn more about Integrated Energy Therapy.
