Unprocessed feelings get stuck—you can learn to complete them

We all know the power of a long-held grudge or a fear that simply won’t go away—those are emotions that never got the space they needed to finish. Instead, they’re trapped forever like sticky residue.

Emotion processing is the act of letting feelings run their course. It’s not about wallowing; it’s about honoring the energy inside you. Picture yourself at a beach as waves roll in—they crest, break, and recede, making room for the next one.

When you feel a rush of anger or pain, put down your tasks and breathe into where it lives in your body—a tight chest, burning throat. Name it: “You are anger.” Your voice surfaces the emotion and uncovers its shape.

Stay present for a few breaths. Watch it peak and release. If subtle edges remain, glide a magnet over your spine three times, guiding the last bits of tension away.

Afterwards, note what you learned: what triggered the emotion, what you need next. This simple ritual builds resilience. You’re no longer at the mercy of old, stuck energies—your body and mind can flow freely, like the tide.

Next time a jolt of emotion hits, stop and breathe into it—notice how your chest or belly tightens. Name the feeling out loud: “I am fear.” Then stay with it for ten seconds—let the wave crest and fall. If any spark remains, sweep a magnet three times down your spine with the thought “clear this.” Finally, jot down your insight. This process keeps emotions moving rather than trapped.
