What Your Organs Are Trying to Tell You: How the Body Stores Emotion—and How to Release It
We often think of the body as a machine—organs with jobs, systems with tasks, and symptoms as signs of breakdown. But ancient healing traditions and modern science alike suggest something deeper: our bodies hold stories, and those stories are often stored in our organs.
As a certified health coach, substance use disorder professional, and energetic alignment mentor, I’ve worked with hundreds of clients navigating emotional overwhelm, self-sabotaging patterns, and disconnection from their true selves. And again and again, I’ve found that healing accelerates when we go beneath the surface—to where emotion meets physiology, and where the body’s subtle messages can finally be heard.
This isn’t just holistic self-care. It’s deep energetic alignment—and it’s one of the most powerful ways to reclaim your clarity, your intuition, and your capacity to create a life that feels true.
The Energetic Intelligence of the Body
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, each organ is seen not only as a physical structure but as a vessel for emotional energy:
The liver holds frustration and anger
The lungs carry grief.
The kidneys store fear.
The heart governs joy and emotional connection.
The gut and spleen area manage worry and self-worth.
Similarly, in Ayurveda, the doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha) interact with organs in ways that reflect imbalances in mental and emotional patterns.
And now, modern research is confirming what these systems have taught for millennia.
The heart’s electromagnetic field, for example, radiates far beyond the body and affects brain function, mood, and intuition (HeartMath Institute).
The gut-brain axis reveals that neurotransmitters like serotonin originate in the intestines, meaning your digestion directly affects your emotional state.
And the vagus nerve, which connects most major organs, is a primary pathway for trauma, safety, and regulation.

Join me for a free live workshop where we’ll explore how to decode your body’s emotional messages and finally release what’s been stuck.
What This Means in a Healing Session
In my practice, I integrate this organ-emotion framework in everything from Reiki sessions to addiction recovery counseling. It’s not about diagnosing or labeling—it’s about listening.
Clients might come in with chronic anxiety, shame around food, or an emotional block that won’t budge. When we begin to explore the energetic messages held in their liver, gut, or lungs, we often find that what felt mysterious or unchangeable starts to make sense.
These are the exact practices I teach inside my Clean Body Reboot and 5-Day Cleanse programs—and the results are often life-changing.
Because when the body feels safe and seen… the spirit starts to lead.Reserve your spot now

Why This Matters for Manifestation + Alignment
When emotional energy gets stuck in the body, it affects more than just mood or digestion. It dims your intuitive access, scatters your manifestation energy, and can keep you trapped in survival-mode behaviors that no longer serve you.
Energetic alignment isn’t a luxury. It’s a necessity for living in your truth.
By learning to read your body’s signals—and respond with compassion—you become a clear vessel.
Your desires flow more freely.
Your relationships become more authentic.
And your healing becomes a daily experience, not a distant goal.
