TRAPPED EMOTIONS IN DETAIL

A Trapped Emotion is a ball of unprocessed negative energy stored within the body - survival centred emotions, such as fear, anxiety and worthlessness, brought on through stressful or traumatic events, situations or periods of time. Emotions become trapped when they are not processed properly. This can mean anything from emotions being very intense or drawn out so that there’s just too much to process, such as grief or terror, or that we didn’t have time to deal with feeling the emotion and simply moved on quickly, forgetting we ever felt that way. Also, the subconscious mind can become very efficient at hurrying our difficult emotions away, before our conscious brain has even registered we feel that way. Read The Subconscious Mind page to see just how skillful it is at protecting us from suffering and distress.

These balls of negative energy vibrate at a low frequency, which is not at all good for our body and mind. For more detail about how energy works go to ‘Learn More’ and the Everything is Energy page where you can read about how energy attracts energy of the same frequency. That will help you understand how Trapped Emotions can cluster in the body and build up in the same place over time, causing imbalance, disruption and agitation, also potentially providing the perfect environment for pain and disease to develop. The science of Epigenetics is dedicated to the research of cell environments which then affect the development of cells - that environment is of course energy.

With low vibration residing inside us, we can then be susceptible to producing or attracting yet more of that same emotion and become prone to feeling the same feelings on a regular basis. The subconscious mind learns quickly and works on past experience, meaning we can easily develop patterns of behaviour without realising, reinforced by that matching low vibration already there. An angry person will often be quick to anger or an impatient person will often feel frustrated. Trying to overcome these patterns can be a lot easier if you eliminate the vibration from within you first.

Trapped Emotions can also be inherited - passed down from generation to generation within families! Individual or collective trauma from hundreds of years ago can be present in our bodies from the moment we’re born and in turn we can pass these down to our own children. Being energetically connected, when an inherited emotion is released it is also released from everyone in the chain, which is really beautiful and often a huge comfort to my clients. It’s also extremely interesting, especially if you know a bit about your family history - (Great Great Great Aunt Millicent really did have a terrible time when her husband ran off, abandoning her with five children and a huge debt!)

We can also absorb negative energies from others and collect Trapped Emotions that way. This might happen in very intense situations or from parents to their children, either in the womb or from close contact. Fortunately this is less common, but still as gentle to release, with no discomfort to anyone involved.
