question :
how does an emotion get stuck somewhere in body ? if we say so, do we assume that emotions also 'travel' inside the body like blood or like oxygen carrying heamoglobin ?

yes
i have had this experience myself a long while before reiki.
cells have memory, dna tells those cells what to do but i believe that there are rouge cells that mutate somehow either something has been dormant inside the cell and stress for example has reactivated this something (cortisol can have a profound effect on the human body) or the change was somehow "hard wired"? into the dna and a chemical or medication altered it

it's a complicated subject really, but i also know a person's emotional state can alter internal metabolism as well as external appearance ie obesity.

question :
do emotions have a generic identity similar to our chi... bad emotions = bad chi ?

yes and no
the predisposition for this does exist (again through personal experience.)
but the out come can be changed due to nature vs nurture

anxiety/depression/worry seems to be a family trait in my family. i'd say going back at least 2 generations.
my daughter and son seem to have inherited it fom me.
what i find interesting though, is that i'm more aware of the connection than my mother was or her mother before her and i'm doing my best to minimize the effects so hoping then that this trait stops here.
does this answer the question adequately

this is interesting i remember a famous Urdu Novelist Bano Qudsiya, who has been acclaimed as a highly spiritual personality, to have said that when ill-earned money is used to feed our children, the genes mutate and the ill effects are then carried down generations.

if we could tie up the 'mutation theory' stuff with reiki treatments, we might have to think another glaring possiblity/ question :

"does reiki treatments have the ability to bring about a mutation of cells ? ( please consider it linked with an objective of bashing 'rouge' cells)

plus, another thing which some genetic scientist can tell precisely that does disease mutate our DNA or just cause a malfunctioning of related activities ?

anyone having requisite knowledge of how genes / DNA function in a disease scenario, please come forward to straighten our understanding



take care
