How Much Of Enlightenment Is A Release Of Stored Up Energy?

[ZX_man]

Hey guys, I have a question for you that hopefully will start some sort of dialogue. That or maybe I'm just missing the point :). 

Throughout our unconscious lives (growing up in society) we have resisted and repressed a huge assortment of emotions. This energy ends up getting bottled up inside of us (located in the stomach or something) and is continuously neglected. My questions is: How much of Enlightenment/consciousness work is actually the release of this energy? Or is more the focus to build some sort of existential awareness or self identification? Is there a balance to be achieved?

I'm curious to hear what you guys think (:

It's best not to conflate enlightenment with any material phenomena. Enlightenment, strictly-speaking, is an insight. It need not have any physical or emotional ramifications, although it might as an after-effect.

As for consciousness work (which is a more general notion), yes, that includes energetic shifts.
