Healing Emotions Stored in the Body: Letting Go with Love
Have you ever felt physical pain or fatigue that just wouldn't go away—only to realize it was tied to something deeper, something emotional?
Welcome to Take Charge of Your Health with Dr. Guadalupe Vanderhorst Rodriguez, Licensed Acupuncturist, Reiki Master, and compassionate guide for your healing journey. In this powerful episode, we explore a truth that so many of us feel but few talk about openly:
Your emotions live in your body.
And they stay there—until you gently release them.
This episode shines a light on the emotions we often bury—anger, fear, grief, sadness, worry—and how they quietly shape our health, our relationships, and our energy. The good news? With the right tools and support, you can release them… with love.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, emotions are not just “in your head.” They’re energetic patterns that live within your organs, muscles, breath, and nervous system. They influence how we digest, sleep, move, and feel.
Here’s what you’ll uncover in this deeply healing conversation:
How anger can store in your liver, leading to headaches, tension, and frustration
How grief can live in your lungs, making it harder to breathe, let go, or feel joy
How fear impacts the kidneys, draining your energy and affecting your lower back
How worry burdens the spleen, leading to digestive issues and constant overthinking
How even excess joy can overwhelm the heart and leave you feeling burned out or scattered
This episode breaks down each emotional-physical connection in a way that is compassionate, clear, and empowering. You’ll understand how your unprocessed experiences may be quietly shaping your health—and more importantly, how to begin releasing what no longer serves you.
You’ll also hear real-life stories from people who were holding on to emotional pain in their bodies and how, with simple daily tools like breathwork, journaling, and acupressure, they started to feel freedom, relief, and peace.
Imagine what it would feel like to breathe deeply again.
To move through your day without that tightness in your chest… that weight in your belly… that ache in your shoulders.
Imagine feeling calm, centered, and emotionally grounded—not because you suppressed your feelings, but because you listened to them and let them go with compassion.
In this episode, Dr. Guadalupe gently walks you through 5 simple, loving practices you can begin today to start healing emotions stored in your body:
You’ll learn how to ask yourself powerful questions like:
“What am I feeling today—and where do I feel it in my body?”
Writing these thoughts down helps release emotional tension, clarify patterns, and move energy.
🌬️ 2. Healing Breathwork
Dr. Guadalupe shares a calming breath technique to bring your nervous system out of fight-or-flight and into a state of safety.
This technique takes just 3–5 minutes and creates space for buried emotions to rise gently.
🤲 3. Acupressure for Emotional Support
You’ll learn the exact acupressure points to help release specific emotions:
Lung 1 for grief
Liver 3 for anger
Kidney 1 for fear
Spleen 6 for worry
These points are safe, effective, and incredibly grounding.
🕊️ 4. Emotion-Specific Affirmations
Words carry energy. You’ll receive mantras like:
“I release what no longer serves me.”
“It is safe to feel and heal.”
“I breathe through this with love.”
Repeating these while pressing an acupressure point or after journaling amplifies healing.
🌳 5. Connecting with Nature
Sometimes the best medicine is stepping outside.
Dr. Guadalupe explains how walking barefoot, touching a tree, or sitting in sunlight can help your body metabolize stored emotions, especially when done mindfully.
These tools are gentle enough to use daily, yet powerful enough to create real, lasting change. You don’t need to be a healer or expert—you just need the willingness to begin.
If you’ve been feeling emotionally overwhelmed, energetically blocked, or physically weighed down and you can’t quite explain why—this episode is for you.
💖 Don’t wait for a breaking point.
Start listening to the wisdom of your body now.
Let this episode be your invitation to pause, breathe, and tune in. Your body isn’t holding onto these emotions to punish you—it’s trying to communicate.
