Emotional Rebalancing
the staff of the Ridgewood blog
Ridgewood NJ, according to Erica Hill at Alternatives For Wellness , our emotions are like energy in motion. They are meant to be felt in the moment, processed, and then pass through our bodies. If a child breaks her mother’s favorite vase. she will be upset, perhaps even angry for a while, but she should be able to process her feeling or emotion of anger in a reasonable period of time and then move on. That anger should not become stuck or trapped in her mind and body to be brought up to the child repeatedly over months or even years.
