Key Takeaways
1. Trapped emotions are invisible energies that can cause physical and emotional pain
Trapped emotions can cause you to make the wrong assumptions, overreact to innocent remarks, misinterpret behavior and short-circuit your relationships.
Energetic imbalances. Trapped emotions are negative energies from past experiences that become lodged in the body. They can:
- Distort tissues and interfere with normal bodily functions
- Cause physical pain, fatigue, and illness
- Lead to depression, anxiety, and other unwanted feelings
- Create blocks in relationships and sabotage success
These invisible energies act like balls of energy, typically ranging from the size of an orange to a melon. They resonate at the frequency of the emotion and can affect surrounding tissues, potentially contributing to disease processes over time.
2. The Emotion Code is a simple method to identify and release trapped emotions
The Emotion Code is a self-help method that quite often produces marvelous results and wonderful benefits, both physical and emotional in nature.
Simple yet powerful. The Emotion Code uses muscle testing to identify trapped emotions and a magnet to release them. The process involves:
- Asking if a trapped emotion is present
- Determining which emotion it is using the Chart of Emotions
- Confirming when and why it occurred (optional)
- Rolling a magnet down the Governing Meridian to release it
This method can be learned by anyone and often produces rapid, sometimes instantaneous results. It addresses the root cause of many physical and emotional issues by removing the energetic imbalances created by trapped emotions.
3. Heart-Walls are energetic barriers created by the subconscious to protect the heart
Having a Heart-Wall left her feeling numb and somewhat isolated. She felt disconnected from others.
Emotional protection with a price. Heart-Walls are formed by the subconscious mind using trapped emotions as building materials. While they can protect us during times of emotional trauma, they also:
- Block the heart's energy from fully expressing
- Create feelings of numbness and disconnection
- Make it difficult to give and receive love
- Can lead to depression, isolation, and relationship problems
Releasing a Heart-Wall often results in:
- Feeling more open and connected to others
- Increased ability to give and receive love
- Improved relationships and emotional well-being
4. Muscle testing allows communication with the subconscious mind
The subconscious mind knows all along what the trapped emotion is. The testing you are doing is simply to determine what the subconscious mind already knows.
Tapping into inner wisdom. Muscle testing provides a way to access information from the subconscious mind, which knows everything about the body's condition. Key points:
- Based on the principle that the body weakens in the presence of negative stimuli
- Can be done on oneself or others using various techniques
- Allows for precise identification of trapped emotions and other imbalances
Muscle testing methods include:
- The Basic Arm Test
- The Sway Test
- Self-testing techniques like the Hand Solo Method
Surrogate testing can be used for those unable to be tested directly, such as children, animals, or unconscious individuals.
5. Magnets can be used to release trapped emotions from the body
Because you are made of energy, true healing must address this aspect of your makeup. Because trapped emotions themselves are also energy, the most efficient way to release them is with another form of energy.
Energetic release. Magnets provide a simple yet effective tool for releasing trapped emotions:
- The magnetic field is believed to magnify the intention to release the emotion
- Rolling a magnet down the Governing Meridian sends the intention throughout the body's energy system
- This process quickly and permanently releases the trapped emotional energy
While any magnet can work, Dr. Nelson recommends using magnets specifically designed for the body, such as those made by Nikken. The release process is typically done three times (or ten times for inherited emotions) to ensure complete removal of the trapped emotion.
6. Proxy testing enables distance healing and working with animals
Distance is no barrier to energy. Energy is truly everywhere, and fills the world, and indeed fills the immensity of space.
Healing beyond boundaries. Proxy testing allows for:
- Releasing trapped emotions on people who are not physically present
- Working with animals who cannot verbalize or actively participate
- Helping those who are unconscious or unable to be tested directly
The process involves:
- Obtaining permission from the subject
- Establishing a energetic connection with the proxy
- Testing and treating the proxy as if they were the subject
- Breaking the connection after the session
This technique demonstrates the interconnected nature of energy and consciousness, enabling healing to occur regardless of physical distance.
7. Releasing trapped emotions can lead to profound physical and emotional healing
Powerful healing occurs when trapped emotions are finally released. Who knows how much pain, unhappiness and chronic illness could be completely avoided by eliminating trapped emotions!
Transformative results. The release of trapped emotions often leads to:
- Rapid relief from physical pain and symptoms
- Improved emotional well-being and relationships
- Resolution of long-standing health issues
- Increased energy and vitality
Examples of healing:
- Chronic pain disappearing instantly
- Depression and anxiety lifting
- Phobias and PTSD symptoms resolving
- Relationship issues improving dramatically
The Emotion Code addresses the root cause of many issues by removing energetic imbalances, allowing the body's natural healing abilities to function optimally.
8. Our thoughts and intentions have a powerful effect on our reality
We are constantly radiating our thoughts into the cosmos. I believe that these thoughts fill the immensity of space, and that they are not limited by the speed of light or any other limitation. Our thoughts are powerful, and what we think and feel is what we create.
Conscious creation. Our thoughts and intentions shape our experiences:
- We constantly emit electromagnetic energy through our thoughts and emotions
- This energy interacts with the world around us, affecting outcomes and attracting experiences
- Positive thoughts and intentions can create positive changes in our lives
To harness this power:
- Cultivate positive thoughts and emotions
- Visualize desired outcomes with feeling
- Practice gratitude for what you have
- Be mindful of the energy you're projecting
Understanding this principle allows us to take more control over our lives and create more positive experiences.
9. Focusing on positivity and gratitude attracts more positive experiences
Feeling positive emotions about what you want will literally help you to create your dreams.
Crafting your reality. By consciously choosing to focus on positive aspects of life, we can:
- Attract more positive experiences and opportunities
- Improve our emotional well-being and resilience
- Create a more fulfilling and joyful life
Practical steps:
- Start each day by listing things you're grateful for
- Reframe negative situations to find positive aspects
- Visualize your goals and desired outcomes with positive emotion
- Practice mindfulness to stay present and appreciate the moment
Remember that what we focus on expands. By consistently directing our attention to the good in our lives, we create a positive feedback loop that enhances our overall experience of life.
