According to Osho, unexpressed energy does not automatically return to the source or heal you. Energy is indestructible and must be transformed, not expressed or suppressed. Expression breeds an endless chain; suppression becomes a wound. With aware witnessing, the same energy turns back to its roots, dissolving patterns and rejuvenating your being.
If you just hold feelings in, they hurt you; if you watch them calmly, they change into fresh energy inside.
