  • Healing Emotions Stored in the Body: Letting Go with Love

    Healing Emotions Stored in the Body: Letting Go with Love
    May 3 2025
    Healing Emotions Stored in the Body: Letting Go with Love Have you ever felt physical pain or fatigue that just wouldn't go away—only to realize it was tied to something deeper, something emotional? Welcome to Take Charge of Your Health with Dr. Guadalupe Vanderhorst Rodriguez, Licensed Acupuncturist, Reiki Master, and compassionate guide for your healing journey. In this powerful episode, we explore a truth that so many of us feel but few talk about openly: Your emotions live in your body. And they stay there—until you gently release them. This episode shines a light on the emotions we often bury—anger, fear, grief, sadness, worry—and how they quietly shape our health, our relationships, and our energy. The good news? With the right tools and support, you can release them… with love. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, emotions are not just “in your head.” They’re energetic patterns that live within your organs, muscles, breath, and nervous system. They influence how we digest, sleep, move, and feel. Here’s what you’ll uncover in this deeply healing conversation: How anger can store in your liver, leading to headaches, tension, and frustration How grief can live in your lungs, making it harder to breathe, let go, or feel joy How fear impacts the kidneys, draining your energy and affecting your lower back How worry burdens the spleen, leading to digestive issues and constant overthinking How even excess joy can overwhelm the heart and leave you feeling burned out or scattered This episode breaks down each emotional-physical connection in a way that is compassionate, clear, and empowering. You’ll understand how your unprocessed experiences may be quietly shaping your health—and more importantly, how to begin releasing what no longer serves you. You’ll also hear real-life stories from people who were holding on to emotional pain in their bodies and how, with simple daily tools like breathwork, journaling, and acupressure, they started to feel freedom, relief, and peace. Imagine what it would feel like to breathe deeply again. To move through your day without that tightness in your chest… that weight in your belly… that ache in your shoulders. Imagine feeling calm, centered, and emotionally grounded—not because you suppressed your feelings, but because you listened to them and let them go with compassion. In this episode, Dr. Guadalupe gently walks you through 5 simple, loving practices you can begin today to start healing emotions stored in your body: 1. Journaling for Awareness You’ll learn how to ask yourself powerful questions like: “What am I feeling today—and where do I feel it in my body?” Writing these thoughts down helps release emotional tension, clarify patterns, and move energy. 🌬️ 2. Healing Breathwork Dr. Guadalupe shares a calming breath technique to bring your nervous system out of fight-or-flight and into a state of safety. This technique takes just 3–5 minutes and creates space for buried emotions to rise gently. 🤲 3. Acupressure for Emotional Support You’ll learn the exact acupressure points to help release specific emotions: Lung 1 for grief Liver 3 for anger Kidney 1 for fear Spleen 6 for worry These points are safe, effective, and incredibly grounding. 🕊️ 4. Emotion-Specific Affirmations Words carry energy. You’ll receive mantras like: “I release what no longer serves me.” “It is safe to feel and heal.” “I breathe through this with love.” Repeating these while pressing an acupressure point or after journaling amplifies healing. 🌳 5. Connecting with Nature Sometimes the best medicine is stepping outside. Dr. Guadalupe explains how walking barefoot, touching a tree, or sitting in sunlight can help your body metabolize stored emotions, especially when done mindfully. These tools are gentle enough to use daily, yet powerful enough to create real, lasting change. You don’t need to be a healer or expert—you just need the willingness to begin. If you’ve been feeling emotionally overwhelmed, energetically blocked, or physically weighed down and you can’t quite explain why—this episode is for you. 💖 Don’t wait for a breaking point. Start listening to the wisdom of your body now. Let this episode be your invitation to pause, breathe, and tune in. Your body isn’t holding onto these emotions to punish you—it’s trying to communicate. 🎧 Tune in now to Healing Emotions Stored in the Body: Letting Go with Love on the Take Charge of Your Health podcast.

  • Move Your Energy: Discover the Healing Power of Qi Gong

    Move Your Energy: Discover the Healing Power of Qi Gong
    May 3 2025
    Move Your Energy: Discover the Healing Power of Qi Gong In a world where stress, anxiety, and burnout have become daily companions, we’re all searching for gentle, accessible ways to reclaim our calm, energy, and inner strength. In this powerful episode of Take Charge of Your Health, Dr. Guadalupe Vanderhorst Rodriguez—Licensed Acupuncturist, Reiki Master, and founder of Kicotan Acupuncture—invites you to explore the ancient practice of Qi Gong, a form of moving meditation that harmonizes the body, breath, and spirit. Whether you're recovering from fatigue, managing chronic stress, or simply looking for a way to feel more centered, Qi Gong offers a simple yet transformative solution. Best of all, it's for everybody—you can practice standing, seated, or even from a wheelchair. No equipment, no complex choreography—just your breath, your body, and your intention. 🌿 What You’ll Learn in This Episode: What Qi Gong really is: Discover the roots of this ancient healing practice from Traditional Chinese Medicine and how it differs from Tai Chi and yoga. Why Qi Gong works: Learn how moving your energy through breath and gentle motion supports immunity, improves circulation, balances emotions, and reduces stress. Signs your Qi is stuck: Ever feel foggy, tired, or emotionally heavy? You’ll learn how that might relate to energy stagnation—and how Qi Gong can bring clarity and lightness back. Step-by-step guidance for 4 simple movements you can start doing immediately—even while you listen! Real success stories from people who’ve used these practices to reduce anxiety, find calm, and improve overall health. Daily action steps you can take to start a sustainable Qi Gong practice—even if you only have 5 minutes a day. 🌬️ A Practice Rooted in Breath, Balance, and Awareness Qi Gong (pronounced chee-gong) literally means “energy work” or “skillful cultivation of life force.” In Chinese medicine, Qi is your vital life energy—the flow that moves through your organs, muscles, and mind. When that energy is balanced, we feel vibrant. When it’s stuck, we feel pain, fatigue, or emotional imbalance. In this episode, Dr. Guadalupe gently explains how Qi Gong helps: Activate your body’s natural healing response Regulate your nervous system Boost energy without overstimulation Process stored emotions like fear, grief, and tension The best part? It’s accessible and forgiving. You don’t have to get every move “right.” Qi Gong isn’t about perfection—it’s about presence. ✨ Guided Practice Included: Move with Guadalupe Dr. Guadalupe walks you through 4 restorative movements that anyone can do: Opening the Heart – Release stress and invite peace with a flowing arm motion. Wave Hands Like Clouds – A soft, swaying movement that clears mental chatter. Shake It Off – Yes, literally! Bounce, shake, and let tension melt away. Energy Ball Breath – A grounding practice that helps you reconnect with your inner power. Whether you’re seated at your desk, standing in your kitchen, or winding down before bed, these movements are designed to meet you exactly where you are. 💬 Real Stories, Real Results This episode features inspiring insights from individuals—just like you—who used Qi Gong to transform their health and mindset: “I used to think you had to push through pain to feel better. But after just 5 minutes a day of Qi Gong, I had less tension in my neck, better sleep, and more energy.” — Marissa, 54 “I have anxiety, and most things don’t help. But Qi Gong felt like I could finally breathe again. I cried during my first session—it was like my body remembered what peace felt like.” — David, 32 These aren’t rare outcomes—they’re reflections of what happens when you move your energy with awareness. ✅ Start Your Practice Today Dr. Guadalupe wraps up the episode with 5 simple ways to begin integrating Qi Gong into your life today: Choose a time that works—morning, midday, or before sleep. Start with one or two movements—you don’t need to do all four. Set a 5-minute timer and practice with intention. Use calming music or nature sounds to enhance your experience. Be kind to yourself. Even one minute of conscious movement is enough to shift your energy. She reminds listeners that there’s no right or wrong here—only awareness, breath, and gentle motion. 🌟 Why This Episode Matters In today’s fast-paced world, movement often comes with pressure—workouts, reps, goals. But what if movement could be soft, sacred, and intuitive? This episode reframes wellness as returning to your breath and honoring your body’s rhythm. Qi Gong is more than just physical—it’s emotional, spiritual, and energetic healing. And once you experience it, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it. This isn’t just about exercise. It’s about coming back home to yourself. Tune In Now Whether you're dealing with stress, looking for new ...
