For one reason or another, we sometimes create our own barriers in life. Intimate emotional blockages that are sometimes difficult to overcome unless you work on them. However, one method claims to be able to help. Should we believe it?
“I will never make it“. Have you ever felt this type of limiting belief? Whether it is our work, our personal or family life, we are sometimes crossed by invisible barriers, for which we are the only ones responsible. This is what called an emotional blockage.
When emotions get in the way
An emotional blockage is in itself a psychological reaction, “which prevents us from feeling, expressing or managing some of our emotions in a healthy way”, defines the media Psychologies.com. Whether this barrier originates in our childhood, from trauma, from too much social pressure, or from the fear of rejection, it often leads to the same point: it prevents us from being fully ourselves and from expressing our emotions. In particular, by avoiding situations that would put us in difficulty, or important discussions.
Little by little, if they are not resolved, these blockages can also accumulate and crystallize, preventing us from flourishing in our love life (for fear of commitment) or breaking our self-confidence. It is therefore urgent to overcome it.
Kinesiology offers to regulate blockages
To resolve blockages, several solutions are available to you. The simplest is of course to consult a mental health professional who will allow you to review the causes and consequences of your blockage.
But according to the media devoted to psychology, kinesiology also proves effective in unblocking emotional blockages. Like theosteopathy or theacupuncturekinesiology aims to rebalance the body and mind. Inspired by Asian medicine, “kinesiology a holistic practice that aims to promote physical, mental and emotional well-being using techniques based on the movement of the body and the connections between muscles, energy and emotions.
It is based on a theory: the fact that the body has its own balance… sometimes disrupted by emotions. By regaining power over the body, kinesiology aims to rebalance the mind.
Muscular work to eliminate psychological tensions
A participant also explained in Doctissimo in 2021 her practice via a muscle test, which consists of gentle, painless pressure on a healthy muscle. “This test allows you to access the blockage, to determine the stress involved or to find the emotion that is linked. Once the cause of the discomfort has been determined, it is up to the kinesiologist to choose, among the techniques at his disposal and according to a precise protocol, the one that is suitable for releasing the stress or energy blockage revealed.” she indicated.
Depending on the blockages detected, this explained the choice of certain tools (meridian scanning, acupressure points, neurovascular points or neurolymphatic points, body or eye movements, visualizations, awareness around a word, etc. .) to release these tensions. A gentle method that can seduce… and work according to its followers.
Good in his body, good in his head!
A method that does not have scientific proof
If you are faced with a blockage but do not know how to overcome it, you can consider trying kinesiology, a practice that is part of alternative medicine, just like acupuncture. However, you should know that the benefits of this discipline have not been proven scientifically to date. In 2017, at the request of the Ministry of Health, Inserm (National Institute of Health and Medical Research) looked into the question to assess the reliability of the method. “Concerning the effectiveness of these practices, there are very few randomized controlled trials, making it impossible to conclude as to the effectiveness of kinesiology to date. concludes the report.
This is something to know before testing, if nothing solves your frustration.
