Emotional Constipation - Are You Holding More Than Waste?

Jun 28, 2025 5:06 am

Dear ,


Let me ask you something personal…

When was the last time you truly let go?

Not just in the bathroom,

But in your heart, your mind, your gut?

Today’s mail isn’t just about bloating or backed-up bowels. It’s about something deeper - Emotional Constipation.


Because sometimes, it’s not what you ate - 

It’s what you’re still holding onto.

Unspoken words.

Resentment.

Fear.

Perfectionism.

Shame around your body.

All of it… sits in your gut.

Your gut-brain axis doesn’t lie. When your thoughts are tight, your colon is too.


Here’s what emotional constipation looks like in your body:

• Tension in the abdomen

• Random bloating (even after light meals)

• Breath that doesn’t go deep

• Low energy despite good food

• Constipation that doesn’t respond to diet changes


One thing you can do today?

Try this Gut-Release Practice:

1. Sit quietly.

2. Put one hand on your heart, one on your belly.

3. Breathe deeply and whisper,

“I am safe to let go.”

Repeat 5 times, slow and honest.

Feel your shoulders drop. Feel your gut soften.

It’s simple. It’s powerful. It works.


, your gut doesn’t just digest food.

It digests life.

When emotions stay trapped, your intestines do too.

So the next time you wonder “Why am I still constipated?”


Ask yourself: “What am I afraid to let go of?”

Book a one on one consultation with me over WhatsApp. Let’s go deeper, together.

Your gut will thank you, not just for what you eat, but for what you finally release.


With truth, love & softness,
