Effects of Negative Emotions on the Body
Legacy of the Divine Tarot
3 OF SWORDS: There will continue to be fear and
anxiety in the world as we get into September.
All the unsettling news of the summer will have an impact on how the
world is viewed and the perception that things are still going awfully awry. Although we can do little to impact the
behavior of others who cause chaos, we do have the ability to alter the way we
look at all that is happening. Despite
the bad news, we can continue to envision the world bathed in pure white light,
surrounded by St. Germain’s violet light of transmutation. We can send love and healing energy to those
who are adversely affected by any negativity.
We can stop watching mainstream news, which just encourages the fear instilled
through all the negative events to continue on and on. We also must believe that things will get
better, but they may get worse before we see the light at the end of the
tunnel.
2 OF SWORDS: It is time to remove the blinders of what is
truly going on in the world. Rather than trusting the news shown on mainstream
TV stations, why not choose to explore alternative news sites on the internet
to get a different perspective? The truth is being hidden from us, and as more
people awaken to this fact, change can happen, starting at the grassroots
level. The sadness created in the last
few months is a wake-up call for those who have been sleeping and have been
oblivious to what has been occurring in our world. We must continue to educate ourselves and dig
for more information, then use discernment to decide for ourselves what to
believe.
ACE OF SWORDS: By looking for other sources of information,
we provide to ourselves new mental energy and new ideas. Let all the Swords energy of this month help
you cut away the lies, deceit, and disinformation so you can free yourself from
fear and worry. It is up to us to seek
answers to what is going on under the surface.
We may not get to the whole truth, but we will learn the importance of
trusting ourselves, our own intuition, and our heart.
7 OF SWORDS: This card is a summary of what we have been
dealing with for quite a while in our world. Deception, disinformation, double
talk, distortion of information—this is what we have been exposed to, but the truth
is starting to come out. Do not get
discouraged by all the negative news, and do positive things for yourself that
will help you cope whenever you hear of another tragedy. Pray for those that
have been hurt, send them love and healing energy, surround yourself with white
light, and then let it go. It does no good to dwell on the bad state of affairs
and what an awful world we live in now.
Yes, there is a lot of chaos and pain, but we can rise above it if we so
choose. Do not wallow in fear, for this does nothing but makes things worse.
Stay in a positive frame of mind as best you can.
TRENDS FOR THE
MONTH: September is a Swords month, which means that there will be a lot of
cutting away of whatever is not in our best interest or not for our highest
good. More and more people are awakening
to the truths that are beginning to be exposed and changing their beliefs about
many things. It may be a time of discomfort and cognitive dissonance, but we
will move through this as we remember that it is always darkest before dawn. We
have free will, so we can choose to be influenced by all the negativity around
us, or we can choose to turn off the fear-mongering TV news and focus on
sending out unconditional love to everyone. Visualize an Earth where we are all
living in peace, with no more war and strife. It starts with us—we must change
ourselves from within to see positive change manifesting outwardly.

Connection: Effects of Negative Emotions on the Body
Retrieved from www.quantumhealingnaturopathicmedicine.com
After experiencing a challenging situation or a difficult
problem, have you noticed that you begin developing aches and pains in your
body that were not there before?
Did you know that when we have strong emotions, they do not
just go away? Since emotions are
basically energy, they are stored in the cellular memory of our bodies, as well
as specific parts of the body. That is
why health conditions are attached to our feelings and how we react to what
happens to us. Louise Hay, a
metaphysical author and teacher, has written a best-selling book describing
various mental causes for a host of physical illnesses—Heal Your Body. It is a good
reference book to help you determine the root cause of an illness or condition;
it helps you begin healing the cause, not the symptoms. The medical field focuses mostly on the
symptoms, which is why often a condition is treated continually with
medication, rather than being eliminated.
For example, Louise says that cancer is caused by “Deep
hurt. Longstanding resentment. Deep secret or grief eating away at the
self. Carrying hatreds. (Asking) ‘What
is the use?’ “ (Heal Your Body, p. 22.) Another example--Knee problems: “Stubborn ego and pride. Inability to bend.
Fear. Inflexibility. Won’t give in.” (p. 46).
A negative attitude leads to negative emotions, which are
eventually expressed physically in the body, if we allow them to. That is why it is so important to stay
positive, which raises our vibration, thus helping us to develop a good immune
system.
Our emotions cause our body to release different hormones,
such as serotonin, dopamine or oxytocin if we are happy and in a good frame of
mind. If we are stressed, the body
releases cortisol, which hinders our immune system from working properly since
we are in survival mode. Continued
elevated cortisol levels lead to inflammation, where most if not all illnesses
begin.
So how can we improve
our emotional health?
Ø
Try to recognize emotions and why we are having
them.
Ø
Express feelings in appropriate ways.
.
Ø
Live a balanced life—deal with negative emotions
but focus on the positive in your life.
Ø
Develop resilience—learn how to cope with stress
in a healthy way.
Ø
Calm the mind and body—relaxation methods,
meditation, music, guided imagery, yoga, tai Chi.
Ø
Take care of yourself—have a regular routine for
eating nutritious meals, getting enough rest and exercise.
Some positive
emotions that can help include:
Ø
Forgiveness
Ø
Gratitude
Ø
Emotional resilience—bouncing back from a negative
experience rather than staying in a negative state of mind
It is also important to let go of anger. Some of the illnesses that Louise Hay
attributed to anger include: sore throat (holding in angry words), pink eye
(anger and frustration), liver problems (seat of anger), injuries (anger at the self), carpal tunnel
syndrome (anger and frustration at life’s seeming injustices).
Ways to overcome
anger:
Ø
Acknowledge the anger—be mindful of what you are
feeling
Ø
Realize where your anger is coming from—ask
yourself why you are angry
Ø
Take a step back—take some deep breaths, go for
a walk, distract yourself until you feel calmer
Ø
Deal with the issue—just ignoring it will not
make it go away
Ø
Talk to someone about what is bothering you
Ø
Let go of unhealthy thoughts that lead to a
negative mindset—appreciate what is good in your life rather than looking for
problems or thinking the worst
And finally, remember that
perception is so important in how a negative situation affects us. Our reaction to a problem is more crucial
than the problem itself.
