Do you have corn syrup emotions?
This past week I’ve been out in my garage painting my kitchen cabinets and passing the time by listening to podcasts featuring Dr. Zach Bush, MD. I like everything this man has to say. He explains how maize (corn) used to be revered and celebrated in ancient times as a gift from the gods.
But now this precious food source has been inverted into poison by overprocessing and altering it chemically into corn syrup. Dr. Zach says this is what we do to our emotions as well. He says emotions are the corn syrup of our feelings and make us sick.
I agree.
Feelings are energy passing through the body. They are natural and help us understand our experiences. They are meant to be felt in real-time and allowed to continue through our energy field without delay. Animals and small children experience their feelings in this way. Their feelings come and go just as readily.
But somewhere along our growth path, instead of feeling this energy as intended, we stop it from passing through our field and then fixate on it. This pause allows our minds to make up a story about what we’re feeling. The more invested or attached we are to our story, the larger our feeling grows into something that is now overprocessed and known to us as an emotion.
Emotions come with labels and often personalized such as “my anxiety; my depression; my unworthiness.” By creating a personal identity out of an emotion, we give our focused energy to it making it more powerful than what it is—an overprocessed feeling meant to pass through us.
These stuck emotions become a problem for our physical bodies because they become what I call place holders where energy has been blocked from passing through. From what I’ve seen in 100 percent of all my sessions, these held emotions are the root cause of a client’s illness and all manners of energy blocks from addictions to finances to relationships to career.
Once an emotion is understood and properly felt, the body immediately releases the energy. The client always feels better and often reports miraculous outcomes in the following days—the things they want in their lives seem to magically appear without effort.
So, I was thinking about all this while painting, and came up with a little exercise you can experiment with. Use it to gage your attachment to the emotions you might not even realize you have, but they are still blocking your energy flow. Try this:
Can you break all your routines?
Examples: If you shower in the morning, can you shower at night instead? If you brush your teeth with your right hand, can you brush with your left instead? If you use the same route to drive to work every day, can you use a different one? If you check your phone for news and social, can you stop and only use it to talk? Can you walk your pet before you have your coffee, or vice versa? Can you put your opposite leg than what’s normal into your pants first while dressing? Same with arms in a sleeve? If you run 10 minutes late normally, can you run 10 minutes early? If you call a certain person every day at a certain time, can you not do this (after you explain your experiment to your person)? Fill in with your own patterns and routines.
The point is to notice where you’ve fallen into a comfortable routine or habit without realizing it. As you dismantle each of your patterns, notice the feelings that come up. Notice how attached you are to each of your patterns, some more than others. Notice how you may feel uncomfortable, or lost, or angry, or frustrated, or maybe more peaceful, (or ?) as you expand into a new experience. Notice how your mind wants you to stop the experiment and go back to “normal.”
These seemingly harmless attachments are the tip of an iceberg of unfelt feelings that turn into corn syrup emotions that are harmful to your life. How do you know?
If your life is not to your liking or you’re struggling with mental health problems in the form of negative thinking, anger issues, depression, addictions, relationship issues, illness, financial problems, unsatisfactory career, and just plain complaining all the time about everything, then you, my beautiful friend are suffering the effects of corn syrup emotions.
But you can free your energy by allowing your feelings to come as they will and pass through you without blocking their progress by giving them a story.
Take a deep breath and feel whatever comes, but no thinking about it. Where in the body do you feel it? Your heart? Your head? Your belly? Your feet? Feel where it is in the body and just stay with it. You’ll notice as you simply feel and witness the feeling, it will start to lessen, then disappear altogether. In its place is peace, light, energy, joy, freedom. In its place is you.
