Dr. Bradley Nelson from the book "The Emotion Code" says "A trapped emotion is literally a ball of energy, and these will lodge anywhere in the body and disrupt the normal energy field of the body."

​

Think about it... where do you feel it in your body when you worry or are anxious? Do you feel butterflies in your stomach? Maybe nausea when you are really, really nervous? 

​

Our emotions are SO completely connected to our physical body and it's SO important to take care of our emotional health. The Limbic System in our brain supports a variety of functions including emotions, motivation and memories. Inside the limbic system is something called the amygdala, which is where we hold and process information about our emotions, thoughts and trauma. 

​

Out of all of our senses, our sense of smell is the only one that activates the limbic system! Which is why aromatherapy (breathing in and smelling pure therapeutic grade essential oils) is so effective. The oils work quickly to help open up our amygdala and support us in processing our thoughts and emotions in a healthy way.
