What is the connection between my physical symptoms and my thoughts and feelings? These and other questions will be answered in this class.  Learn practical tips to recognize the emotional energy stored in your body. Explore the connection between emotions, and physical illness that can result from long-held emotional energy. Gather tools and resources to help handle life’s everyday stresses. Releasing emotional energy can be quick and painless, but it helps to understand what the body is doing so you don’t resist and shut down the process.
