Are your emotions making you sick?

Tamra MerciecaBlogs, Mental Health2 Comments

Emotions are ‘energy in motion’. When we store negative emotions in the body – for example, anger, fear, guilt or shame – they sicken the body.

When we experience a situation that triggers a negative emotion in us, if we don’t fully feel it in that moment, … Read More

‘I can’t (insert desire)’. Sure you CAN!

Tamra MerciecaBlogs, Mental HealthLeave a Comment

What happens when you say you ‘I can’t do it’? It automatically sets up an expectation that you can’t do whatever it is that you would like to do.

When we ‘make’ love, are … Read More
