Come explore the intricate connections between our emotional states and the organs of the body - and how understanding these relationships can help improve our overall health and wellness.

Join globally celebrated Ayurvedic physician and scholar Vasant Lad, BAM&S, MASc, in this deep dive into how undigested or poorly processed emotions can lodge in specific organs - while exploring the pathologies and diseases that can manifest as a result.

You will come away with a deeper understanding of the connection between organs and emotions as well as with practical tools such as meditation, pranayama and herbs to cleanse and support these organs on a subtle level.

In this first of five sessions on How Emotions Manifest in Organ Health, we’ll set the foundation for how emotions crystalize in the body and touch on what’s to follow:

Thyroid Health, Self-expression and Guilt:

Unprocessed emotions or unexpressed feelings, such as guilt, can lodge in the thyroid in turn, causing disruption to healthy thyroid function, affecting metabolism and energy levels. Explore Ayurvedic approaches to release guilt, nurture thyroid health, and achieve emotional balance through harmonious expression as we navigate this powerful organ intertwined with the throat chakra.

 

Lung Health and Grief: Releasing deep Kapha

The heavy emotion of grief finds its dwelling in the lungs, influenced mostly by Vata and Kapha doshas. An imbalanced Prana or Vata can lead to respiratory issues such as shallow breathing, lung discomfort, and heightened emotional unrest. Join us on our quest to learn how to release grief and restore lung vitality through various practices including pranayama

 

Liver Health and Anger: Navigating Pitta Type Emotions with Ease

Pitta dosha governs the liver, where anger, frustration and irritability tends to manifest and lodge. Excessive, undigested, or unexpressed anger can congest the liver, impacting its detoxifying abilities and many other vital functions. Explore ancient Ayurvedic insights to transform anger into understanding, nurture liver health, and promote emotional harmony.

 

Heart Health and Love

The heart, whose functions are mostly overseen by Vata and Pitta doshas, thrives on clear perception and profound understanding of our reality. When the heart is open and balanced, love and compassion flow freely and there is a natural emotional well-being. When emotions such as sorrow, hurt or betrayal go undigested, they can lodge in the heart and pericardium, creating physical imbalances such as palpitations, pain, inflammation and cardiac disease. Discover how to cultivate love, compassion, and heart vitality.

Experiencing Emotion: A Human Reality

Emotions are the natural responses of the human being to our daily interactions with our environment and relationships. They are the result of the encounter of the outer reality with the inner one, and particularly with our memories. Depending on whether our past memory was positive or negative, we may respond to the same situation with joy, happiness or sadness, anger or frustration. The nature of these emotions is to arise and flow through us unimpeded, just as tides ebb and flow. As emotions arise, we can pay them attention and listen to them in order to increase our self awareness and allow insight to unfold.

Crystallized emotion and toxins (Ama)

Modern life often does not equip us to watch our emotions in this way. Instead of listening and observing our emotions, we do not have the necessary tools to process them, and instead of the emotion flowing through us we end up being overcome with them, or suppressing them. By ‘controlling’ our emotions in this way, we block their natural movement and cause them to lodge, undigested into our connective tissue. Just as poorly digested food in our GI tract becomes Ama (toxins) and enters the deeper tissues, this mental/emotional Ama crystallizes and stays in the body, causing blockages of the subtle and physical channels.

Emotions and their affinity to doshas and organs

From an Ayurvedic perspective, each emotion has a doshic quality (as Vata, Pitta, or Kapha) and an affinity with specific organs in the body system. For example, an emotion like grief will tend to lodge in the lungs, while anger will remain in the liver. As time goes on and these obstructions remain in their associated organs, pathologies may develop. A person experiencing deep seated, unprocessed grief may experience pathologies associated with the lungs such as tightness in the chest, cough, wheezing and asthma.
