Emotional Stress Contributing To Physical Pains

1

How we feel is more than just an emotional state. Our mood and emotions can affect our body in positive and negative ways, especially when the emotion is long-lasting. Emotional Stress

Traditional Chinese Medicine recognizes the connection between emotional and physical being. Stress or pain in the body could be reflective of a negative emotional state. Being aware of these pains and where they are located in the body, and then connecting that area of the body to a specific emotion can turn into a huge tool for the healing journey.
