Emotion = Energy in Motion (Part 2)

When the Body Speaks: Listening to the Wisdom Within

In energy medicine, there’s a saying that proves true time and time again:
“Issues show up in the tissues.”

When something’s out of balance emotionally or energetically, it often finds a way to express itself through the body. The place where pain or tension appears can reveal clues about where that imbalance began—often in the emotional or energetic body.

Emotion is simply Energy in motion.

When we ignore or suppress that energy, it doesn’t disappear. Instead, it tries to get our attention through physical symptoms—not to punish us, but to guide us toward what needs to be seen, felt, and healed.

The body and mind are deeply connected. True healing happens when both are included in the conversation. You can’t fully heal by only talking through the mind and ignoring the body, or by treating only the body without tending to the emotions and beliefs that live within it.

A Client’s Journey to Healing

One woman came to me as a last resort—something I hear often in this work. She was in constant, severe pain that stretched from behind her right ear, through her cheek, lips, neck, and arm—sometimes radiating through her entire body. The pain was so intense she barely moved her lips when she spoke. She had seen countless doctors, but nothing helped.

When we met, I sensed she was like a beautiful vase with a fine crack in its surface—strong but hiding years of containment beneath the gloss.

We began with EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), starting simply:
“Tell me the story of your life,” I said.

As she shared, we paused to tap through moments that carried emotional weight. Often, she was surprised—like when we tapped on something as small as a childhood memory about getting glasses in first grade—but releasing that old energy made her feel lighter.

After a few sessions, we added Healing Touch so she could deeply rest while I balanced her energy field. After her first session, she said, “That’s the most relaxed I’ve been in a long time.” Over time, layers of suppressed emotion began to soften. The pain eased. Her energy returned. She started venturing out, running errands, reconnecting with life—and eventually found herself helping others heal.

Here’s what she shared during our work together:

“I have worked with Jill for three months and am amazed and blessed by the growth and learning I’ve experienced. It’s been transformational on many levels. I came to Jill for help with a chronic health issue and have been surprised by all the emotional and spiritual healing that followed. I’m more aware of the thoughts and beliefs that have blocked my growth, and I’ve made core shifts in my relationship with myself, God, and others. I’m so thankful for Jill’s compassion, wisdom, and gifts as a healer and coach.”

A Story from Another Client

A man came to me worried about a chronic pain in his side. He’d had every medical test imaginable—CAT scan, ultrasound, X-ray, scopes, bloodwork—and all came back normal. Still, the pain persisted.

As we worked together, it became clear that life had “kicked him in the stomach” more than once. His body was holding those emotional blows, and they had become physical pain.

Through a combination of coaching and Healing Touch, the pain slowly released—and when it did, he blossomed. The change in his energy and outlook was remarkable.

Here’s what he said:

“I initially came to Jill because of chronic pain that no doctor could diagnose or resolve. Over twelve weeks, the pain diminished and eventually disappeared. The mind-body-emotion connection is real. Jill’s intuitive, friendly approach made me feel completely comfortable. The sessions gave me exactly the insight and encouragement I needed during a major life transition.”

When You’re Ready for Something Different

Healing Touch has been a profound source of transformation for so many clients—and for such a wide range of challenges—that it’s hard to choose which stories to share.

But here’s what I know for sure:
If you’ve tried everything and nothing seems to change, maybe it’s time to try something new.

My only ask is that my clients:

1. Dare to be stretched.
2. Immerse themselves fully in the process.
3. Embrace vulnerability—to be seen, heard, and healed.
4. Play full out.

As one client texted the day after her session:

“Thank you again for yesterday’s session. I found the experience to be profound.”

I’d love for you to experience that sense of peace and alignment for yourself. You can schedule a 30-minute Discovery Call with me at no charge and to help you begin, I’m offering $20 off your first session. Use code: 20OFF when you schedule your first EFT or Healing Touch session.

Here’s to your best, most radiant self—
