At this very moment, your health and lifestyle are directly guided by the growth and development stemmed from childhood teachings. Both positive or negative have an enormous influence on future lifelong health with the right set of circumstances or a callous victimization mindset.

Researchers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have found that the more stressors that an individual have experienced in their childhood are more likely to develop physical and emotional ailments in their adulthood. Traumatic episodes such as sexual abuse, mental illness in a parent, divorce, neglect, and domestic violence are linked to chronic related stress and obstacles. Chronic related stressors in the form of obesity and/or heart disease are responsible for a premature death that becomes a reality sooner than later.  



As of recently and further acclaimed by Dr. Nadine Burke MD, who founded and is the charge of the Center for Youth Wellness in San Francisco, California has spent over the years treating chronic stress and increasing awareness of childhood traumatic effects on long-term health, medically identified as Adverse Childhood ExperiencesHere you may read the full extent of these findings at NY Times,or 2015 Ted Talk.

​Conditions that Correspond to Body System Functions and Organs:

Picture
As stated by Naturopaths, most men and women function on an energy level full of emotional imbalance in life and sometimes are inclined to exist in one or two emotions that are present in their overall image, like anger or jealousy.

Many emotions that prohibit growth come from things that happened to us in the past that we have not faced or let go of. People walk through life hiding their true emotions to secure their feelings of safety because they have been taught by others to not show emotions that others consider inappropriate (Akua, 2010).

In Holistic Health, we relate our biochemical function made up of “emotions” to the effects of the body (brain matter). As you will see below how both positive and negative emotions lead to the functionality of our Organs.






Positive Emotions + Organs =


  • Honor, Joy, and Relief Generate the Heart
  • Peace, Gentleness, and Agreeability Generate the Kidneys
  • Kindness, Compassion, and Sympathy Regenerate the Liver
  • Cooperation, Righteousness, and Victory Regenerate the Lungs
                 (Akua, 2010)
Negative Emotions + Organs =
  • Stress, Anxiety causes constriction and damages the Intestines and the Stomach
  • Anger, Abuse, Frustration, Irritability, Jealously, Obsession, and Resentment can damage the Liver
  • Excessive Sadness, Apathy, Boredom, Impatience, Depression, Despair, Despondency, Cruelty can injure the Heart and make the Blood Toxic
  • Panic, Shock, Compulsion can injure the Spleen
  • Fear, Anxiety, Confusion, Discouragement can injure the Kidneys
  • Worry, Grief, Sorrow, Guilt, Denial can injure Lungs and Cervical Nerves
    (Akua, 2010)

Once emotions are expressed, a healthy person is able to move forward without damaging their physical bodies with emotional baggage (Akua, 2010). Think about it, these individuals are searching for acceptance of their feelings of love and security in order to rebuild self-esteem. They are also searching to find a way to express their deep, inner emotions in a safe and supportive environment.

It begins with you. Commence with a greater sense of awareness of the inspiring attributes or deafening ailments which were passed on in mirror images of the self. With this information, childhood trauma does not have to comprise your continued growth as an adult in an unhealthy manner.


Reality in Consciousness begins at the very moment as the work is placed forth by your intent to grow and change for the betterment of self, aiding in the improvement of mankind!
