KS&L 188 Emotional Results from Exercising and Dieting

Sometimes when we embark on a new diet, exercise or yoga routine, some interesting, unexpected results come up.

There was once a lady who refused to do Yoga because she said that it always made her throw-up. She had started numerous times had been diligent in her work, but no matter how she tried it, she ended up vomiting.

There is another story of a two different very elderly ladies, both [in their late 80’s], extremely thin, who received physical therapy to help them with aching, stiff and sore joints. They felt that physical therapy would help to provide them with increased mobility. It really worked; physical therapy for the elderly is tremendous and can relieve much pain. However, for both women, as they did this muscle work, they found themselves crying, feeling somewhat blue even though they were physically feeling better. They didn’t want to stop the work, but they could not understand their sadness. Sometimes it also seemed to make them feel nauseated.

Several people mentioned that when they exercise they feel blue. Some of them are able to push past this, but some stop because they just can’t get beyond that emotionally icky feeling.

The US Navy discovered that the sailors they sent to the “fat farm” as the Navy so ungraciously called it, ended up having bizarre drug reactions. They searched the enlistment papers and could not find the reason for the reactions they were seeing - as if these sailors had taken LSD or other prohibited drugs. Then, they made an amazing discovery. The Navy discovered that [in addition to the fact that these sailors had lied on their enlistment papers regarding prior drug use], all kinds of things live in fat cells. Later they were to discover that all kinds of things live in muscle tissue as well. What are these things? These things are often stored emotions and chemical drug residue.

Cells have membranes. According to Dr. Bruce Lipton, a cellular biologist, these membranes are actually a storehouse of all kinds of things and actually function as cellular “brains” or “membrains” for the body. This emotional reaction many not necessarily happen every time someone exercises or diets, but it happens often enough that people dismiss it as something else. If you are losing weight, and you feel as if you are on an emotional roller coaster, the bad news and the good news is that you are releasing emotional toxins along with your weight. Emotional toxins live within our bodies. One of the interesting aspects of doing spiritual work is releasing these emotional toxins. These toxins can also live in the colon or anywhere in the body. Storage in fat cells is one of the most prevalent places - which ironically could explain why so many people try so many diets and eventually reacquire the pounds - they did no fully shed the emotional weight.

Often weight is used to emotionally protect us - which again could be at least part of the reason that a leaner diet and modest exercise are just difficult to achieve for a large segment of the population.

Another individual discovered while working out that the anti-depressant she gave up four months prior, all of a sudden started functioning in her body, causing again, an emotional roller coaster. Once she understood what it was, she took steps to help herself clean up the physical and emotional body.

So, what can you do if you are exercising, dieting, or doing physical therapy and you begin to feel blue? Start by getting yourself a really good blood cleanser. This can be NingXia Red™ by Young Living Essential Oils, or it can be Mangosteen or Noni Juice. Add it to your water, drink it every day and watch these emotions stabilize. Also, at the Health Food store is something called Holy Basil. Use this twice a day for a week and then once a day - your emotions will be more stable. It is wonderful to have them released, just release them in a deliberate manner so that you understand what is occurring. Most affects should last about a week depending on what you are doing to access those old emotions. You may also find that these juices act as a colon cleanse as well. Lots of old emotions live in the colon.

You can also use the release of those emotions as a way to deal with the past. This is surely a healing opportunity.

So, the next time you embark on a new diet, exercise or yoga routine, or even dance for that matter, don’t be surprised if some old emotions come up. Wash them out, embrace the experience and congratulate yourself for all of your success
