Do you 'bite your tongue' so hard you get a headache? Are you getting a stiff neck trying not to look at your shadow side? Do you panic that if you open up you'll drown in your own tears or destroy something you love? 

We live in a world of duality. There's no light without dark, no love without fear, no laughter without tears. But from a young age we often get the message that the negative side of our emotional nature isn't welcome. We learn to hide our jealousy, our anger and our grief for fear of the reaction of those around us. 

Unfortunately the more we stuff these feelings away, the more intense they become. Layer upon layer builds up. Each loss, each wound, becomes imprinted on each other like emotional scar tissue. And like scar tissue it becomes rigid and inflexible, almost impossible to penetrate.

This need to control our feelings, the habit of not giving ourselves an outlet to be heard, witnessed or validated, creates fertile terrain for obsession and overwhelm. It's present in the child who holds it together in the daytime but wets the bed at night, in the adult who holds down a responsible job but wakes up with tremors and night terrors. 

The next crisis becomes the straw that breaks the camel's back because there's only so much baggage you can carry and only so much tension you can cope with, whether that shows itself as physical illness, emotional outbursts or mental disorder. 

When you're at breaking point and you can't begin to make sense of how you feel, Cherry Plum is the Bach remedy to reach for. 

Cherry Plum enables the pent up feelings to open and flow. Instead of an explosion there's relief and release. A sense of normality returns as you're once more able to connect with your higher guidance. Light arrives in the darkness and you can begin to compassionately integrate your experiences to become a more rounded and relaxed human being.  Order Cherry Plum

Are you sensitive? Do you always give 100%? Many of our patterns of striving and perfectionism come from a belief that we need to be perfect ourselves - and we're not. 

Even self-development can be unhelpful if it comes from a place of trying to fix ourselves. We're not broken, we're simply a work in progress.

This sense of not being 'enough', whether that's wealthy enough, clever enough, successful enough, fit enough, slim enough or young enough, stems from the fact that we aren't energetically whole. We can't be enough if we have left parts of ourselves behind. Parts that we labelled as shameful, embarassing or unwelcome.

Healthy self-developement is a path back to wholeness. That means acknowledging the uncomfortable memories, the times we felt unsafe, shocked, or rejected and loving the parts of ourselves that are fragile, vulnerable and in need of love.

Red Camellia addresses those fragmented parts of us and opens a path from the heart chakra to the base chakra so that love can flow in and integrate the vibrations of fear, transmuting them into the original innocence and delight of our child self. 

Red Camellia is in Your Divine Blueprint - Live Soulfully essence

Try Soul Purpose essence

Most of us experience a wide range of emotions as we go through life. Some we allow to flow through us but if they're too uncomfortable or we don't feel able to express them, that flow is interrupted. 

It may be that later you can give yourself space to release the feeling, especially if you have a conscious practice such as mindful exercise or meditation. If you don't, then emotions become trapped creating an energy block that can cause problems physically, mentally and emotionally.  

When we block emotion we contract and guard against the feeling. Healing involves the opposite - expansion and relaxation, which we'll only do when we feel safe. That means feeling supported and accepted, perhaps by a practitioner or a loved one or by connecting deeply with our primal mother - Earth. 

She's always there, offering her healing plants and fertile soil in endless service. Her energy field is expressed as a magnetic grid which is deeply stabilising and relaxing and reminds you at a cellular level where you come from - quite literally in the case of birds and insects, who use it to navigate. When you root deeply into the nurturing earth, your body is better able to release its hold on difficult feelings.

  One of my favourite cleansing practices is to lie spread-eagled on the ground and consciously offer all that's not in my highest interest to the Earth for transmutation.

A lack of connection to this energy is the prime reason why there's an epidemic of problems at all levels: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.

So if you want an easy way to restore a constant healthy connection to magnetic field and Mother Earth, I can recommend the Nikken technologies. Simply slipping insoles that mimic the Earth's grid under your feet and drinking magnetically charged water makes a big difference. 

If you feel particularly depleted Nikken's unique magnetic sleep system allows you to cocoon yourself against the bombardment of wifi and emotional stress and give yourself a safe place to release and recharge. Many people report very vivid dreams when they first use one - I imagine due to emotional processing.

	Nikken Magboy Explanation by Dr Bradley Nelson

If this speaks to you, you may be interested in reading more about the Emotion Code devised by chiropractor Dr Brad Nelson. He uses energy testing to identify trapped emotion and then uses the Nikken Magduo (formerly called the Magboy) to release it and, if you read the book, you'll be able to do the same.

Magduo Saving: Originally 57 GBP the Magduo's been reduced to 44 GBP inc VAT until further notice. If you prefer it as an autoship order, you get reduced shipping. It's also great just to rub the Magduo over your body to 'wake it up' if you've been sitting for a while or to warm up before exercising or performing.

If you'd prefer the guidance of an experienced Emotion Code & Body Code practitioner, I can recommend Jude Hubbard, who offers sessions remotely. She has clients all over the world.

Online: the Magduo is available here online  for UK delivery
