What is the Emotion Code
The Emotion Code is an energy healing technique developed by Dr. Bradley Nelson, a long-time chiropractor. This method offers a simple yet effective way to identify and release trapped emotions and imbalances within the body. According to Dr. Nelson, untreated trapped emotions can lead to physical pain, dysfunction, and even significantly impact our thoughts, choices, and overall success in life. These unresolved emotions can act as barriers, preventing us from moving forward.
The process involves a technique called muscle testing, which uses the body’s electromagnetic response to answer specific questions. Our subconscious mind, which holds all our memories and personal information like an internal log, can communicate through signals sent to the body’s muscles. By asking direct questions, we can access this deeper level of intelligence to uncover hidden imbalances.
Further exploration may reveal details such as the age when the emotion became trapped or whether it was absorbed from someone else. This awareness brings the emotional energy to the conscious mind, where it can be released through clear intention. The practitioner uses a magnet along the governing meridian—a key energy pathway in acupuncture—to neutralize and release the trapped energy.
The process is non-invasive, requires no physical touch, and can even be conducted remotely. In remote sessions, the practitioner acts as a proxy, enabling the same powerful healing effects. Often, these trapped emotional energies gather around the heart, creating a "Heart Wall" that blocks us from freely giving and receiving love.
The Emotion Code is a transformative and accessible way to release the unseen baggage that may be holding you back, helping you move toward a freer, more balanced life.
What are Trapped Emotions
Trapped emotions are negative emotional energies that get stuck in the body after we experience intense or unresolved feelings. When we face challenging situations or trauma, our natural emotional response might be overwhelming, and our subconscious mind may suppress these emotions to protect us from the pain. However, if these emotions are not processed or released, they can become trapped in the body, where they can manifest as physical discomfort, emotional imbalances, or even mental blocks. Over time, these trapped emotions can interfere with our overall well-being and prevent us from moving forward in life.
When we experience emotional pain, trauma, or chronic negative situations—such as abuse or loss—our subconscious mind naturally works to protect us by creating a barrier around the heart, known as a Heart Wall. This wall is a defense mechanism that helps us cope with overwhelming emotions, but while it serves as a form of emotional protection at the time, it also keeps us from fully experiencing life and connecting with others. As we move forward from these experiences, the Heart Wall remains in place unless consciously addressed, continuing to block our ability to give and receive love freely.
Using the Emotion Code, we can work with your subconscious mind to release each layer of the Heart Wall, gradually reducing the emotional baggage that has been stored there. Typically, people have anywhere from 5 to 25 trapped emotions layered around their heart. These trapped emotions can manifest in a variety of ways, including feelings of isolation, disconnection from others, creative blocks, self-sabotage, fatigue, anxiety, heart palpitations, lowered immunity, and discomfort in the neck, shoulders, or chest.
Clearing the Heart Wall can have profound benefits, including a deeper sense of connection to others, increased joy and love, greater confidence, and a more open, authentic expression of your true self. As the Heart Wall is released, many people report feeling lighter, more motivated, and able to experience life with greater ease and emotional freedom.

Emotion Code for Animals
Animals are highly sensitive and can be deeply affected by their experiences. Just like humans, animals can carry trapped emotional energy in their bodies, which can lead to imbalances that manifest as behavioral issues, pain, or even disease. These trapped emotions are often the most common cause of imbalances in animals, and in many cases, the issues they face are linked to trapped or absorbed emotions from their owners.
Just as we can release trapped emotions from the human body, the same technique can be used to help animals. This healing process is effective for pets of all kinds, and animals typically respond quickly and positively to this energy work. By releasing these emotional imbalances, we can help restore harmony and well-being, allowing our animal companions to feel more at ease and balanced.
What to expect from your Session
In your session, we will begin by exploring the specific issue you wish to address, whether it’s an emotional state like anxiety, a behavioral pattern you'd like to change, physical pain, or an emotional block you want to release. I will connect with your energy intentionally and, using muscle testing, confirm that the connection is made.
Once connected, I will use muscle testing to ask your subconscious if trapped emotions are contributing to the issue. I’ll then refer to a chart of emotions created by Dr. Bradley Nelson, which helps guide us to the specific trapped emotion responsible for the issue at hand. We may uncover additional information about the emotion, such as when it was trapped, who was involved, or whether it was absorbed or inherited.
The trapped emotion can then be released using focused intention and love, as well as by gently swiping a magnet over the governing meridian—an important energy pathway in the body, as described in acupuncture. This process helps restore balance and release any emotional blockages.
After your session, you may experience what’s known as “processing,” where your body releases the trapped emotions by reorganizing energy and restoring communication to previously blocked areas. This could manifest as feelings of tiredness, thirst, or emotional shifts, but some people may not experience anything at all. These effects typically pass within a day or two, and it’s recommended to stay well-hydrated during this period.
Once trapped emotions are cleared, your body can naturally begin to repair itself, aligning with its perfect energetic blueprint.
