‘The Truth about E-motions’

Mickel Therapy takes a very distinctive view of e-motions which may be very different from what other schools of thought propagate.

Mickel Therapy works from the premise that e-motions are the result of a complex physiological process that takes place within the body. E-motions arise spontaneously, independently of thinking, and have an immediate physical effect on our cells. Because of their physical nature they are able to disrupt the functioning of cells and lead to physical conditions if they become trapped in the cells. Working with these true e-motions is the major key to healing many conditions and syndromes.

In explaining how e-motion arises, the Mickel Therapy model suggests that, in concurrence with quantum theory, everything is simply energy vibrating, constantly moving, constantly shifting, constantly affecting everything around it. When a person is in a particular environment there is an energy that makes up that environment, and that energy will influence the individual.

This influence will be a transfer of energy from the environment to the individual. When this happens the cells of the body are affected and this results in the production of e-motion in the body – primary e-motion. This is generated independently of thinking or conscious intervention. We’ve all had the experience of being at a party or a sporting event, or contrastingly at a funeral or somewhere where people are arguing or fighting. Even without direct involvement we can recognise that we feel very different in these environments – they all have a very different energy and this energy affects us.

So we could argue that because energy is constantly moving, there is a constant transfer and our bodies are responding by constantly producing primary e-motions – all be it that they can be very small in many cases. Because everyone is ‘wired’ in a slightly different way, the primary e-motions experienced in a given situation will vary from person to person.

In order for us to successfully navigate through life our cells cleverly ‘remember’ energetically those environments and their respective energies. This is called state dependent memory.

Whenever primary e-motion is created within the body this e-motion floods through to affect our thinking processes. The process of thinking seems to lead to a distortion and manipulation of state dependent memory and the result is an amplification of negative or uncomfortable e-motions. These are called secondary e-motions because they are not the result of direct interaction with life events but are the result of a distortion of the truth by thought patterns. Mickel Therapy does not address these as they are effects and not cause.

The secondary e-motion has been triggered by thinking which has been triggered by the presence of primary e-motions. To put it another way, thinking is a result or roll-on effect of primary e-motion – so the more primary e-motions building up inside the body the greater the chance of unhelpful thinking patterns, which in turn can churn up secondary e-motions. Therefore in Mickel Therapy we do not focus on thought patterns nor secondary e-motions but instead apply our tools to primary e-motions that arise without thoughts or cognitions.
