What we do not process, we suppress. What we suppress will eventually be expressed. A great way to think of this is our brain and body as a person driving a car. The person, representing our 'mind', the car representing our body. The person is driving and hears a screeching sound when they hit the brakes. They are far too busy to be bothered with such a sound, and place it as being "back burner". The next day they are driving and a light comes on the dashboard, they see it but quickly look away and they do not even want to think about what it could be. The next week, they get in their car and go to turn it on and realize they had left their headlights on all night, but then pretend like they didn't in hopes the battery wasn't drained because they were late and had to get to work. And then half way driving to work.... it happens. The car just shuts off. All of the things placed back burner or out of mind, accumulated to the car just simply not working anymore. I think we all can relate to an experience in our life we deemed as "I'll deal with that later" or even "I just don't to deal with that". Whether it was a conscious decision or subconscious reflex, it was placed deep down where we wouldn't run into it in our day to day. Expression from suppression can happen in many different ways - both in the body and mind (psychosomatic). From aches and pains, to anxiety to even gut microbiome and immune system shifts. So how do we break the cycle of suppression? We first go deep to uncover what we may have buried deep down, and then the awareness and introspection we gain in that process can be a guiding light for future use.
