How our emotions affect our health and wellbeing

In the Five Element theory, an emotion corresponds to a certain internal organ. How does each emotion affect our health and wellbeing?

• Liver - anger makes Qi rise, so many of its effects will be felt in your head and neck causing headaches, vertigo, migraines.
• Heart - excessive happiness, meaning a state of overexcitement, can adversely affect your Heart Qi.
• Spleen - worry or overthinking depletes this organ’s Qi, potentially affecting digestion and grounding.
• Lungs - grief affects the Lungs. Sadness also depletes Qi.
• Kidneys - fear corresponds to the Kidney. This emotion depletes Essence, the basis for Qi, which is stored in the Kidney.

​Learning to let go and live in the moment is the key
We hold our life in our body; everything we learn and all our emotional reactions to life's experiences are carried within us. Our emotional journey empowers us to move forward but sometimes we forget when it's time to let go and make space for new learning.

Sometimes we move on from difficult times but feel we are still reliving them. Shiatsu and Energy healing helps you release old emotions stuck in your body so you can live at your highest potential in the present.
