~ Emotion Code 101: Frequently Asked Questions ~

---

The Emotion Code, developed by Dr. Bradley Nelson (ret), is a tool that helps to let go of emotional baggage... your personal collection of negative emotional energies, from past events that are stored in the body. This baggage can be disabling, interfering with your ability to create & live the life you want; the life you have a blueprint of in your heart. Everything in the body is made of energy, including this baggage known as a collection of Trapped Emotions. These negative energies can get stuck in & distort the body‘s energetic field & tissues & can lead to emotional problems, physical discomfort, & imbalances that may result in dis-ease. ​ Kinesiology (muscle testing) & biomagentic principles help to identify & release these Trapped Emotions. This can support the body’s natural ability to heal itself so we can return to our natural state of balance & who we were meant to be. The Emotion Code is designed to help break self-sabotage, ease emotional wounds, restore love in relationships & help alleviate physical discomfort that may be contributed to by these trapped negative energies. Once we are free of them, it can create a cleaner slate; not to ever feel emotions again, but so that going forward, emotions can be healthy & helpful guides rather than negative trapped influences. 

Trapped Emotions are harmful emotional energies from past negative events that can get trapped in the body when the normal processing of an emotion gets interrupted. This lack of processing can occur from intense anguish & suffering where it is just too overwhelming to deal with. The process can also be interrupted when the body is already imbalanced, or from intentionally stuffing down unwanted emotions. Trapped Emotions can be widely problematic. They can weigh us down, leading us to feel unsettled, more upset, or more reactive in our relationships, career, & overall life. Emotions that aren’t dealt with usually won’t just go away on their own. They can stay stored in your body, holding you back, & can lead you to have & repeat undesired emotional thoughts & reactions by impacting your feelings.  They can block people from feeling love, joy, peace & happiness & can make them feel disconnected from others.  Because trapped emotions are made of energy just like the rest of the body, they can exert a negative influence on the body’s tissues & can even cause physical discomfort. Releasing Trapped Emotions makes conditions right for the body to heal itself physically & emotional difficulties can often disappear or become much easier to handle.

Muscle testing also known as a form of applied kinesiology, is a biofeedback system used to identify the root cause of negative symptoms. It allows a practitioner to obtain answers directly from the body regarding emotional, mental & physical well-being. Muscle testing techniques are based on the principle of biomagnetic energy. Our conscious mind is oblivious to these energies, but our subconscious mind is profoundly affected by them. The subconscious can lead the body to respond to positive energy & avoid or refuse negative energy through the process of asking questions or making statements while testing the body's response. The energy running through your body will either be congruent (true) & stay strong with the question or statement, like a closed electrical circuit, or it will be incongruent (false) & the circuit is broken & your muscle goes weak. 

An Emotion Code session is a simple, non-invasive process in which the practitioner will use muscle testing to tap into the knowledge of your subconscious mind. Your subconscious is like your supercomputer which has been recording every detail of your life.  It knows every face you've ever seen, what foods are beneficial & not, & what is contributing to your physical or emotional distress. Through muscle testing & asking questions about your desired issue, your practitioner will be able to discover the Trapped Emotions that correspond to the issue at hand. It's like the 'search engine' for your body, the better the form of the question, the more effective the practitioner is at identifying the Trapped Emotion(s) potentially at the root of the issue you're addressing.  

A Heart-Wall is a layered energetic barrier made up of one or more Trapped Emotions which can form when your body is attempting to protect your vulnerable heart. It can prevent you from feeling negative, hurtful emotions as deeply as you normally would. While helpful in the short term by keeping out bad feelings, it can ultimately inhibit your ability to feel & express joyful, loving emotions. It may hold you back from fully connecting with others & make it very difficult to be open in your relationships. You can have a sense of moving through life by surviving but not living. In a sense, you are living in your own emotional prison. Finding & releasing a Heart-Wall can be life changing & usually requires 1-3 sessions to be fully cleared. 

Sessions can be done in person, by video call, or by phone. I offer my sessions by phone. Not only does this facilitate a non-distracting experience for both of us, it also, gives me the ability to help people at long distances. We will start by having a brief discussion of the issue(s) or concern(s) to be addressed. Your session will begin with a moment of silence where I ask for help from up above & then I’ll energetically connect with you. This allows me to muscle test by proxy on myself while receiving answers from you. (Please see last FAQ to learn more.) Once this connection is established, I‘ll ask your body simple yes/no questions, assessing the biofeedback response via the proxy muscle testing. This enables me to identify the Trapped Emotion(s) contributing to your issue. Each Trapped Emotion will be identified & released one at a time (usually around 10-12) using the principles of ancient Chinese medicine & biomagnetic energy. 

This depends on the individual & their goals as each person's life experiences are unique. Some issues can be addressed in one session, while others may take several sessions in which it is necessary to reveal & release Trapped Emotions layer by layer (that are underlying the issue). Each issue will be worked one at a time until a 'no' answer is obtained from your body that there are no more Trapped Emotions contributing to the issue. Sometimes the body is not willing to release any more related to a particular issue & that's ok & perfectly normal. In that case, I will ask when it will be ready & we can schedule accordingly. If your body says it's not willing to release any more regarding your first issue & we did not release 10 Trapped Emotions & time is left, we can use the remainder of that session to address a second concern. Once you feel relief & feel the changes in your life, from one issue, you are likely to want to explore others! 

After a session, you may feel lighter, more positive, & even a sense of calm & joy. This can be immediate or can develop over time. For instance, when you reflect back on situations that have come up, you may notice you weren't triggered like you used to be or were able to respond rather than react. If we focused on physical discomfort in your session, you may notice a measurable improvement in the intensity of that discomfort. Some may notice right away & others may notice improvements within a few days. Sometimes you might feel relief like the problem is gone for a few days & you feel good, but then it comes back a bit. Don't worry! Thats your subconscious communicating, "You're on the right track! This really helped but there's more work to be done. I need more of this." Your body is giving you some insight on how it can feel once this emotional baggage is released & it's showing you that there is more around the issue that needs to be released. 

At the end of your session, you will be tested to determine & given your processing time. This is when your body's energy is adjusting. Although this varies for each person, most are likely to feel positive effects right away or soon after their processing time is complete! This of course depends on the intensity of the issue(s) or concern(s). Some may need several sessions (releasing trapped emotions layer by layer) to achieve the amount of relief & positive change desired. During the processing time, about 20% of people may experience echoes of some of the emotions released in the session, they may feel a little up or down, more sensitive or a little fatigued. Remember, your body is adjusting & rebalancing its energy. Be gentle with yourself, drink plenty of water, eat nutrient dense foods & get lots of rest. 

Yes, you will because that is how we interpret & experience life. Your emotions can make you feel highs & lows, but you won't have the negative Trapped Emotions running in the background. This makes it easier for you to respond rather than react to negative events or situations. It can become easier to choose your emotion rather than succumb to the same old pattern Trapped Emotions often lead us to. It can be very empowering!

At the end of your session, your practitioner will estimate your processing time in which the body’s energy will rebalance. Generally, this processing time is 1-3 days. It is best to book your next session after your processing time has passed. Trying to speed up the process & push the body can result in inaccurate muscle testing & fatigue. Every person is different & has varying processing times; 1-2 days after this period is good practice. 

Our body is made up of pure energy and because of this, is not confined by only physical means to return to homeostasis. Acupuncture is a great example of how the body can be profoundly affected by tapping into its energy channels. 

With The Emotion Code, once a Trapped Emotion is identified, magnetic energy is used to release it. This is done by running a magnet down the Governing Meridian's line of energy. This meridian is key because it is connected to all the other meridians in the body, so no matter where the Trapped Emotion is located, it will be affected. It is similar to running a magnet over a credit card which erases the card's data. When a magnet is run over the Governing Meridian, it deletes/releases the energy of the emotion from the body. It does not erase the memory but rather it reduces the emotional charge so the energy of the emotion (associated with the memory) can leave the body. This can result in being able to recall past negative events without feeling like you are reliving them or feeling like a victim to the emotions all over again.

Quantum Physics. Physicists have proven that everything is energy, including our bodies. Per Ernest Rutherford's experiment, we now know that when cells are magnified to the DNA level, then further magnified down to the atoms, electrons, protons and finally the subatomic particles, it was found that they are made up of 99% empty space. This empty space is pure energy. It has further been proven through the Principle of Entanglement, when an electron moves in one place, there is a corresponding movement in another. This happens because those electrons are energetically connected/entangled. This allows muscle testing by proxy and energy work to be effectively done at any distance.
