So how did we develop mental health issues and problems?
Let's explore this from the point of view of the human energy system, a persons spirit.
There's an energy body. We can't see it, though some technologies do let us see energy fields of just living things. Some talk about the aura, chakras, and meridians for energy circulation within the energy body. Many successful healing therapies are based on the existence of the energy system and restoring flow when it is blocked. Which is the key, finding blockage and restoring flow in the energy system.
So how does it get blocked in the first place? Ah well, that's life. Our energy product is processing life events, people, nature, things in through and out of the energy system, in the same manner because the physical body processes food in through and out. We eat, digest, circulate, metabolize, get energy from, and are regenerated by, then eliminate the food that people eat. That's in through and out, changing us along the way. When things are flowing well, we body processes are healthy. As we get blockage in almost any are problems and symptoms begin to develop e.g. indigestion, colon problems, liver problems, arteries, lymph. It is all about circulation and getting the nutrients right parts. After that the body knows how to eat well.
Just how does flow and nutrition connect with mental health?
We process the energies of life in the same manner, in through and out. We compare this to acceptance, understanding, compassion, learning, releasing, forgiving, transformation and evolution, and delight and enjoyment in the process. All our positive emotional experiences we are able to now see because the flow from the energy of life through our energy system. It feels good. Positive emotions arise from flow of those energies of life through our energy system and nutrition may be the learning, the feel good factor, the development, the transformation we obtain from that facet of life. This is healthy flow. This really is in fact how we are made, just as the is designed to eat well. This is our natural starting state, until life happened!
What exactly are blockages within the Energy Body?
So, as possible get blockage in the physical body, we obtain blockage in the energy body. For instance, we avoid because we can't handle something, we cannot accept, we resist, or we hurt if we do accept, we hold on, we do not understand well, we do not see clearly, we can't forgive and we feel below par. They are our painful emotions and we feel this in the body too.
Actually, where we feel it in the body is how the energy is stuck.
Events of Life Stuck in Processing
Then when we are not in that state of mental health that we defined above, it's because something happened to us, a celebration that people processed through our energy system, however it got stuck along the way. Maybe it had been too large to deal with for a young energy system. So there it stayed, that energy forever attached to the thought or memory of this event, held in the power body, in the physical location that people can seem to be, when we recall it. And life is constantly on the happen, events upon events, stored causing further blockage and behaviors that arise from these blockages because somewhere along the way, the support wasn't there to help that individual process and release those events in life. So growth and learning didn't happen. Nourishment from the spirit to create confidence and strength didn't happen.
Furthermore a blocked energy system, has reduced ability to process future events, coping ability is impaired. We emotionally react. Eventually the discomfort of handling life can be so great that disconnection is needed, numbing out the feelings and ongoing pressure leads to depression.
It's all regulated Energy and just Energy
It's all a kind of energy indigestion, energy constipation, and energetic injury of some kind.
Understanding this is actually great news.
Now that we have energy release techniques in the growing field of energy psychology, such as EFT, EmoTrance, TAT and more, we are able to locate and release the blockage, restore the flow, and heal the power system. Once more in flow, the state of health returns. We feel relaxed and free, we have seen clearly from a new perspective, we've new resources we did not have before with this situation. We have learned and grown. We are to mental emotional and spiritual health. We are able to do that for all life events that got stuck in processing through the energy system and these techniques allow us to release the energy without needing to talk about these events over and over again.
So, energy healing, also known as healing the spirit, is a key to facilitating mental healing.
Why Come on a Retreat for Mental Healing?
By the time a person is depressed, suffering chronic anxiety, has low confidence and self esteem, is numb or disconnected, there is a lot of life events stored in the power system that require releasing.
A number of therapy sessions are recommend, using EFT or EmoTrance or TAT and there is unequivocal evidence gathered over many years from thousands of people of the effectiveness of these strategies to create mental healing and change. This can be a challenge to people who follow more conventional talk therapies and medication approaches, and thus we find resistance from that sector, but thankfully, not from everyone.
A healing retreat is the best chance to spend time inside a supportive environment and receive a quantity of healing sessions, tuning in to key events and releasing them, creating increasing flow within, increasing relaxation, lightness and clarity. It's a chance to make some real progress in creating change and forward movement, improvements in mental health.
Other studies show nutrition also has an impact on our mental health. How much sugar and delicate foods we eat wreak havoc with this glucose levels and moods. The lack of specific nutrients in our diet can result in vital processes no longer working well. The brain is definitely an organ that requires food nearly as much as the rest of the body. If we are in a low state of mind, we quite often don't take care about our diet.
You can easily understand the benefits of combining energy healing with optimum nutritional support for mental healing. A mind body spirit detox, cleansing out the old, restoring flow and putting in optimum fuel in terms of food and in terms of what our spirit feeds on: nature, life, people, relationships, love.
So in fact, by a complete mind body spirit detox healing retreat might be a great way to help mental healing or form a brand new type of mental health retreat.
