Katie: Yeah, I love that

Let’s talk about stress, for example. If you’re really stressed, really anxious, you can get angry at something as well. You can try to find something that really annoys you and get mad at it. Just make a fuss about something as a mom. And that’s going to get you out of your anxious zone, out of your stress zone. And it’s very positive. Another one I find really, really good that I personally do, sometimes you go through family things that are really difficult. And I found my way through stand-up comedies. And you just, you know, take, again, you go on YouTube this time. There’s like lots in the world. And you find your best stand-up comedian people. And it’s 10 minutes of your time. It just lovingwomen.org Etsi linkkejГ¤ makes you laugh. It changes your breathing pattern. And it allows you to let go of the other emotions you were hanging on to.

And yeah, like you said, I think maybe kids are inherently a little better about this until we train them not to be. And I’ve even said to my kids at times, like when they’re crying, saying like, oh yeah, sometimes I cry too. And what big emotions are you feeling right now? And just giving them space, a safe space to feel that. And I’ve often, maybe that’s what adults need as well, like you’re talking about. And I think you have such a unique combination of knowledge here of that Eastern and Western traditions in medicine meeting and how they can both be beneficial. But is there any research or data on either the Western medical side or in Eastern medicine about how emotions connect to the body and how letting go actually can help change our physiology?

Diane: Yeah, in traditional Chinese medicine, it’s omnipresent. They say you understand the gut-brain axis. Oh, my God, it goes much beyond. Of course, the brain communicates to the gut, the gut to the brain. But the emotions will impact the organs and the organs will impact the emotions. So why that is important, and here I drill on traditional Chinese medicine, is if you feel angry, the more you feel angry, just the way you were describing Katie, it’s just like if you had eaten poison. So your liver level of toxicity massively increased. Okay. From that moment, because the liver system is going to do a ton of other jobs, there will be consequences to that. So your liver system in traditional Chinese medicine is in charge of your liver, your gallbladder. A lot of the parts of your brain, your tendons, all of your female hormones, your mood hormones, and it sort of irrigates your entire body of yin and noble liquids.

Okay, so when you stuck up the energy for anger in a constant manner, you do not allow for the liver system to get done and get on with its other jobs. And so this is where women are going to start to feel a domino effect of other symptoms that are completely irrelated in appearance, but are completely related inside. So she’s going to start to have bloating. Extension of the biliar area. This is the digesting slowing down. She might have sore breasts. Okay, the toxins starting to accumulate in her breasts because the body’s trying to get rid of them. She might have more migraines, specifically on the temples, across the eyebrows, on the top of the head. She might also feel numbness, numbness in the legs, numbness in the arms. She might have tingling sensation of cramps and spasms. And because she starts to have all of these sensations, it’s quite scary. And so they all come from there. So the moment you’re going to let go and change emotion, the more you’re going to leave the liver system to rest and do its normal job that it’s supposed to do otherwise. And, you know, get busy with another system that you give a kick to.
