Emotional wounds can be from this lifetime or passed on from generation to generation and can be as ancient as human existence.
These wounds are not as visible as physical wounds, and they are stored in the different layers of our energetic body. However, some Gurus say that when repressed for many lifetimes, they can manifest as sickness/disease/disability at some point throughout the soul’s evolution in this physical world.
Emotional pain can be excruciating and daunting to deal with. For those of you who are familiar with astrology, you might know how the moon square pluto and pluto square the lunar nodes ( known as skipped the step) might play on someone’s life. This has been my life’s journey, learning to process hard emotions from this lifetime and most likely past lives. The emotional pain has reached such intensity that it made me question my sanity at times. When not processed actually gives me physical pain, mental confusion and indecisiveness.
I learnt early on that we all have the automatic response to numb and repress any uncomfortable and painful emotion. I believe has been taught to us many lifetimes ago when power, ownership, and consumerism became ingrained in our subconscious.
I was not taught in school or by my parents how to go about emotions. Most likely, a big per cent of the population hasn’t either. So some people can’t feel at all. They are completely disconnected from the emotional self. There is nothing wrong with this, but it is definitely a byproduct of generations repressing emotions. Most of us have heard at some point in life: ‘Stop crying, why are you crying.’
Crying and Laughing is our bodies natural way of releasing and let go.

Very dark period of life, lost, confused and emersed in suffering, all pictures and art of those days are dark and sad.
Below there will be the most common emotional wounds that we all most likely carry to some degree. Those of you more sensitive might sense others and oneself just by observing common feelings, thought, behaviours. When emotions are repressed and not deal with will gradually affect all chakras as all is interconnected, but different emotional wounds will directly affect certain chakras first. When someone is in tune, they can feel it.
Rejection:
It can manifest as the tendency for escapism, a sense of inner emptiness filling themselves up with information, knowledge, materialism. Absence and tendency to detach. People carrying this wound do not like to occupy space, and they will make themselves invisible and very desecrate and neutral.
Will affect the root chakra, sacral chakra and solar plexus directly.
Abandonment:
It can manifest through addiction, extroversion to the extreme when one cannot handle the solitude or alone time or downtime. Denial.
Will affect the solar plexus and throat chakra.
Betrayal:
Intimately connected with abandonment and rejection. Not fully processing it leads to many other emotional outbursts of resentment, anger, aggressiveness and eventually control issues.
These affect directly heart chakra and throat.
Injustice:
Manifest through judgment, gossip, rigidity, tension will build up in the jaws and general physical stiffness.
Difficulty in relaxing, guilt, being too hard on oneself with blame. Difficulty in receiving or asking for help.
Affect throat and third eye chakra directly.
Humiliation:
Thirst for freedom, shame, and fear to be punished. Second, caring about everything and everyone else but themselves. The difficulty of self-expression.
Affect throat and crown chakra directly.
For those of you who feel stagnated, or your life seems stale, or you tend to attract the same type of people and situations, my advice is to sit still. Close your eyes and observe your inner world. The more you do this, you slowly cleanse your energetic layers and heal the wounds. It is not that simple. To some might be a life’s work, where you are constantly realising, in this case, getting help and support is a must— there are many effective holistic therapies. A wound might play itself over and over again until the moment is fully released!
Yoga has been the therapy of choice for me, and there is a challenge ongoing:

Love, light and blessing to you all,
I am grateful to your support.
We are all a product of our circumstances to some extent, but controlling and/or coping with our emotions can certainly make us more emotionally available and able to help those around us more effectively. Bless up!

Thank you for you support :D
This is beautiful and I can very much relate to this, in many ways. Thanks for sharing it with us all :<)
P.S. That photo / art piece is beautiful too. First thing I thought of, as I studied film, was the movie Cat People. Ever heard of it? There's a 1940s and a 1980s version. Both are worth watching. The latter has music by David Bowie and stars Nastassja Kinski. If you know the movie, you will understand why I thought of it :<)
Sending you much love and good vibes from Portugal!
Hey @vincentnijman, thank you for your support. I am on my way to check out those movies. You are from Portugal and studied film?!? Wow, I just felt really nostalgic. I am also from Portugal, and I studied VFX for the film industry years ago. Reading your words reminded me of the time I spent in Lisbon studying and having the best time aha.
I haven't watched a movie in 3 years and looking forward to watching your recommendations :D
Where in Portugal are you from?
Sending you awesome vibes and love from Carregal do Sal area
I love discovering ( these kind of ) parallels, the way the universe works. Actually, I'm from The Netherlands. I moved to Portugal in 2018. My brother in law ( partner of my twin sister ) is Portuguese and when they decided to move to Portugal with their two young kids, I decided to do the same.
I studied film in Utrecht, The Netherlands, in University though.
Just looked up Carregal do Sal and I found out that we're pretty close by. I am currently renting a house in between Lourosa and Barril de Alva and I have a little house for sale in Monte Frio, Arganil.
um grande abraço,
Vincent
Cool that is a nice area and nearby.. We never know, we might meet up one day without planing as I have been looking for land around central and north portugal. The little house for sale has land with it?
Um abraço :D
Bom dia :>)
I almost forgot to reply...
My house does not come with land I mainly bought it for the view, a place where I could write and relax...
but there's plenty of land nearby.
Yeah, who knows. We might actually meet up. The world is small and we tend to attract like minded people.
Um abraço!
