Our body, just like a computer, stores all our life experiences, impressions, our traumas, our emotions positive or negative and everything that goes with that. Even if we consciously understand why we have experienced these events, they remain ingrained in our cellular memory and are often the source of our imbalances and limitations. These memories influence and guide us towards certain decisions we make in our everyday life and determine what we allow ourselves to experience. In time though, these memories can become too heavy to bear (as in the case of some depressions). Our body can also anchor certain reactions to specific situations, for example, panic attacks, phobias and stress.
The best way to describe a session of energy work is to compare it to the way we would clear our computer—to erase our browser history, operations and files. Energy work sessions also stimulate a better circulation of energy in our body, often rebalancing in areas where the flow is blocked or stagnant. A profound release in your solar plexus chakra would, for example, rid you of a feeling of suffocation or constriction in your chest area.
