Grief can show up as a symptom–lung/heart issues!

I was talking to a client last week about her mom who was diagnosed with a severe illness that has no cure. It is affecting her lungs and she is now on oxygen. The lung and chest area is often times a place where grief will lock up or hide out so I asked some questions. Prior to developing these “symptoms” did your mom have any grief or sadness related events going on in her life? YES—in fact, there were several severe, heartbreaking events that happened prior to the development of her dis-ease. I was not at all surprised. Then it dawned on me that I should share MY STORY of lung related, grief symptoms with her and you.

I was very close to my dad who died unexpectedly in 1998. Within less than a year, I developed BOTH bronchitis and asthma at the same time! I had never had either condition before. I was given a nebulizer treatment right in the Dr. office and sent on my way. I continued to feel terrible. I was tight in my chest, I felt horrible but I couldn’t really explain what that meant. It was odd and unlike anything I had ever experienced. I was given an inhaler, but still, I felt awful. I would get lightheaded, and later was told I developed an allergy to milk and soy. Do you know how many foods have milk and/or soy in them??? Why now? Where did all of this come from all of the sudden?

I got some relief from acupuncture, but still, I wasn’t back to normal. What I didn’t know then but I do now, is that my body was in full blown, locked up grief!!! Emotional energy can get locked up inside your body, and that’s exactly what happened to me when my father passed away.

When I Tap with clients, I am also educating them on WHERE their energy blocks are holding and how to tell where they are. Our society and brainwashing commercials would have us believe that EVERY symptom is a disease and that you need a pill or surgery to relieve it. Emotional pain that dissolves, feeling lighthearted and happy, no longer being triggered by certain people, years of bothersome emotions leaving….all of THESE outcomes have showed up in my office with clients. When you release the energetic ways that emotions, incorrect assumptions and locked up energy get stuck, you might be amazed at the real reason for symptoms.

I did a presentation years ago, and after my talk a man came up to me saying that after his daughter died, he developed heart trouble, high blood pressure, and cholesterol issues. Coincidence? I don’t think so.

A family member had cancer surgery and afterward, his heart rhythm went out of sync…so he was put him on meds. Might it be possible that the anesthesia might have caused his body to react with a symptom since it was a foreign substance to his body? He’d NEVER had heart problems before that. I still wonder if he had done some energy or toxin herbal cleansing if his body might’ve had the chance to balance.

I am not claiming to cure anything with these examples. I am just suggesting that I have seen other reasons for our body to manifest symptoms that might be flags to get our attention. Educate yourself and you might find there is more to the story that CAN work for you.
