Supressed emotions

[Lindasmith647]

I experienced a lot of trauma as a child and yes it does affect one's ability to OBE.  I think that is mainly because all those suppressed emotions cause congestion within our energy and physical bodies.  I don't want to get hung up on terms here - but my belief is that the spirit (astral body?) is always perfect - it CANNOT be harmed!  However, our relationship to our astral body can get messed up.  

I also believe that the physical body is entirely self healing and there is no damage that cannot be reversed.  We are created perfectly in God's image - we are self healing and self renewing.  

The way I got past all the suppressed emotions is to express them and release them.  A lof of this was done with the help of a good psychologist who works with deem emotion healing.  I did a lot of emotional release in the morning through awake-dreams and fantasy.  I kicked, screamed, cried -- sometimes for hours or days - until it felt like it was finished.  Sometimes those emotions feel so big that you think there will never be a bottom to it.  I can assure you there is a bottom and if you keep releasing you will get it all out and it will not return.  

I also used massage, reiki, energy healing, crystals, music, hot baths, lots of self nurturing - anything that I felt would help in my healing process.

Now my life force (energy) runs very strong through my body.  I have lots of OBEs and can really feel my energy body.  I am very close to losing my human form as is described in the Carlos Castaneda books.

Here are a few books I recommend on emotional healing:
Arthur Janov - Primal Scream
Facing the Wolf (can't think of the author's name)
Emotional Fitness (can't think of the author's name)

Peace - Linda.

I've been trying out various forms of energy raising for the last 6 months and I've settled into doing the NEW system along with some standing meditation and tai chi.

It still takes me quite a while to get warmed up with N.E.W, but I'm sticking with it I love the system.

Anyways my question is about my emotional rollercoaster and energy levels... I've been a bit off at times and I was wonderig if this is because of the new things I'm applying to my life. How  ong does this normally last? i've also been doinga  lot of self-healing because of trauma when I was very young, I have surpressed emotions, could this also effect my energy work?

I must say though, I do feel a lot happier 90% of the time and it's a lot easier to express myself, no more supressing emotions. I think that throughout my childhood though I was severly damaging my astral or emotional body because of supression, has anyone else had to overcome this? I would like some tips, if not how long do these effects last in general for all of you?

I posted this in energy development as well, but I know the healers out there will know about suppressed emotions. How are effective ways to get over them and some of the side effects you may experience?
