The Costs of Suppression
Flow

Content: We hold it deeply inside and, typically, it stays inside. . . . Energy moves within the body in regular currents and beyond the body in radiant fields. As emotional suppression becomes an unconscious habit and emotional energy becomes stuffed inside, the free movement of vital energy gradually degrades. Think of a wide rushing river into which one daily throws several large stones. Over the course of a lifetime, the river becomes clogged, diminished and sluggish. Likewise, over the course of a human lifetime, the habitual suppression of emotional energy clogs and diminishes the once-rushing river of light. As we clog and diminish the flow of emotional energy, we block and interfere with the fundamental design and function of the human organism. This causes systemwide dysfunction, with most biological processes and organs (including the brain/mind) failing to operate at full efficiency. Life spans shorten and creative potential declines. Sickness, disease and general unhappiness all take a larger than necessary role in the human drama.
