My Experience With Mind Body Spirit Release

As someone who actively works on not letting my emotions “get the best of me”, I recently did something that put my emotions and perhaps, emotional trauma, on full display. 

If you’ve never heard of Mind Body Spirit Release, don’t be alarmed, because I hadn’t either. It was just about a month ago, that I searched for energy healers in San Diego and found Mind Body Spirit Release. 

You see, I’ve gotten my physical health where I want it to be…

And yet, there was still a heaviness, a dent or depression in my body, that I can’t point to, but that I KNOW is there. 

This is a deeper level of healing that just the physical; this is getting up close and personal with the emotional traumas and subconscious imprints that past events have had on your life. This is the emotional side of healing that is rarely talked about.

Growing up in a world where I would get scolded for being too loud, for talking during church, for fighting with my younger sister, it only seems natural that an energetic block I had would be in my throat chakra ( the chakra associated with communication, self-expression, and ability to speak your truth) and in my ability to use my voice to speak up, in a moment where I absolutely felt I couldn’t. 

I scheduled a 90-minute MBSR session not knowing what to expect. It sounded pretty woo-woo, and I’m full woo-woo if it can help me feel better, be better, or do better.

What happened was unlike anything else I’ve ever experienced. 

What is Mind Body Spirit Release?

According the mindbodyspiritrelease.com…

“The intention of Mind Body Spirit Release™ (MBSR™) is to identify the subconscious imprints that are contributing to harmful patterns that we inadvertently perpetuate. Additionally, MBSR™ helps to reduce emotional and physical stress on the body.”

What Are Some Benefits of MBSR? 

• Reducing effects of stress and stressful triggers

• Letting go of emotional baggage

• Becoming aware of behaviors behind certain actions

• Greater emotional and physical balance

How does it work?

Any time you have an emotional event or trauma, your body produces a specific dose of hormones that get imprinted in your body. Your body can then refer back to this specific cocktail anytime you are presented with a trigger, hence triggering the specific emotional response over and over again. 

Have you ever thought about a significant past event and were immediately transported back to that exact moment? Your heart might start to race, your breathing starts to increase, you might feel overwhelmed with emotions, all at the mere thought of something that happened in your past… 

MBSR works to release those imprints from the body which then allows you to release those patterns and the emotional and physical stress that comes with it. 

What Can I Expect During a Session?

During the session I was told to relax on a table and basically lay there while the practitioner entered the energy field of my body to see was going on. The practitioner used an ideometer (pendulum), which is a form of muscle testing, to tap into the subconscious and identify limiting beliefs, emotions, etc, associated with an event and it’s triggers. 

While not much was needed of me during the session, I was curious as to what was going on. I kept hearing the practitioner mumbling in the background, and the curious part of me wanted to know EXACTLY what was she was finding. 

Halfway through, my heart was racing so hard I almost yelled for her to stop the session. 

But I continued on, telling myself this was just proof of energy moving through my body. 

The Results

“WOW” she said, “That was a big one.” Then she told me exactly what I was holding on to. 

In her notes, she had jotted down “hospital, grandparents, ~10”.

“What happened with your grandparents at the hospital when you were about ten?” she said. 

In that moment, it was as though a strong, heated, basketball of energy pushed its way out of my abdomen. 

With tears swelling my eyes and rushing down my face, I found myself nearly gasping for air as I tried to speak. 

“My maternal grandmother passed away when I was about 8 years old. I remember my mom coming in to ask me if I wanted to go see her one last time to say good-bye, and I didn’t go.”

I remembered the guilt that I had felt all those years ago. 

Unknowingly, that guilt and responsibility had been imprinted into my subconscious and I had been carrying it around ever since.  

“We released that.” She told me. 

Good. I felt and IMMEDIATE difference. I felt lighter in some way.

She also jotted down limiting beliefs that I had and they were all spot on.  

Why share so much about my subconscious imprints and the memory of my grandmother’s passing?

Because there is the emotional side of healing that we rarely look at. It’s the subconscious thoughts and patterns and beliefs that are firmly imprinted by the time we are about 7 or 8 years old, that can affect us for the rest of our lives- without out even knowing or acknowledging their effects on our actions and behaviors.  

The side that looks at how we deal with our emotions, where we store our emotions, and if you know about the connection between our organs, body systems, and emotions, then you know that our emotions affect everything within as well as without. 

I’ve spent the last 7 months cleansing my liver and gallbladder, the organs associated with anger and frustration. It’s fascinating to see this correlation as I maneuver my way around emotional healing and energy work that I never thought of doing, UNTIL NOW. 

And for someone who tries hard to hold on to their emotions, releasing the anger that I held towards myself for so long, is hard. 

But then again, healing is hard.
