Healers are beginning to realize today that the human body has a great ability to heal itself. This fact is being explored by many health practitioners, from homeopaths to endocrinologists and other medical professionals. They are discovering just how much suppressed emotions can affect cells at a chemical level and why cellular healing is so important.

It appears that blockages are created in cells by traumatic memories. The biochemistry of stress, whether due to large traumas, difficult life circumstances or other factors, blocks many of the normal healthy functions of cells. When emotions are repressed, certain chemicals are released into the bloodstream and go to cell receptors, blocking them and affecting their communication with the rest of the cells. The memories stored inside a degenerative cell are transmitted to the next generation of cells before it dies. This would explain why someone with liver cancer would still be suffering from cancer even once the cells were all regenerated.

Cells retain the information from your birth to the present day. Any emotional trauma like rejection or abuse or even ongoing stress on a daily basis can damage cells to the extent that illness results. This can happen within a specific organ or a more systemic illness may be experienced throughout the whole body.

There are no quick answers when it comes to healing. Some people do experience miraculous recoveries but in most cases the body needs time to heal. Some cells take longer than others to perform certain functions, including regeneration. For example, the cells of the eye regenerated much faster than those of the liver.

A human being does not just consist of a body. Emotional and mental wounding has to be addressed too for complete wholeness to be obtained. Simply addressing physical symptoms is not enough to bring about complete and permanent health.

There are many practitioners available to help you find the root causes of illnesses and help you to learn the art of healing yourself. Different tools are used such as guided meditation and use of applied kinesiology (muscle testing) There are many different approaches. This is why choosing someone with credentials and a good track record is important.

Different methods and approaches are used by practitioners. It is important to go carefully about the process of choosing a practitioner who is right for you. It is preferable to select someone with experience who is highly recommended by clients. Sessions offered usually last about an hour and most people require a number of sessions to experience results. The way people feel after a session is also different with some feeling sleepy and others feeling energized. Many report a feeling of lightness as if a great weight has been removed.

There is research being conducted that offers compelling evidence that our thought patterns do affect our whole body chemistry, and can suppress our immune system. What is repressed instead of expressed ends up affecting our cells and being detrimental to our health. However, the possibility does exist for us all to have a healthy relationship with our minds, bodies and emotions and there are practitioners trained to guide one on this journey.
