There is probably no one living on the planet who has not heard the phrase “Time heals all wounds,” and while this may be true for physical wounds, it may not always be so for emotional ones. You may be surprised to learn that you can be carrying the past around with you in ways you could never have imagined.
Throughout our lives we continuously experience all kinds of emotional ups and downs, and while we don’t always remember negative situations or events, their after effects can stay with us indefinitely. Even though you think you have let go of the emotional pain from something that has happened and you think it's all behind you now, your body can still be harboring the invisible energies of past emotions associated with this event. These are the wounds that time cannot heal without a little help.
Thanks to Dr. Bradley Nelson we now have a tool that provides that help. The Emotion Code is a part of a simple but powerful healing method known as "The Body Code,” which he researched and developed over a period of 21 years. A specialist in the emerging fields of bioenergetic medicine and energy psychology, Dr. Nelson created a method of finding and identifying emotions that are trapped in the body and bringing them to the surface where they can be neutralized and released with as simple as a magnet.
What is a Trapped Emotion?
When certain emotions become too powerful for us to handle, the result can be an electrical short circuit that becomes lodged somewhere in the body. An emotion can become trapped at any age or can even be inherited. A trapped emotion is an invisible ball of energy that seems to vary in size from that of a baseball to a melon. Wherever it entrenches itself, the energy field in that area becomes distorted. The result can be self sabotage, psychological distress or physical illness or pain for which there is no medical explanation. While any distressing event can result in trapped emotions, a few of the more common causes are:
- Loss of a loved one
- Divorce or the end of a relationship
- Financial hardship
- Job loss and forced unemployment
- Home or work stress
- Miscarriage or abortion
- Physical trauma
- Physical or emotional combat
- Physical, mental, verbal or sexual abuse
- Negative self talk
- Negative beliefs about yourself and others
Trapped emotions can also lodge in the area around the heart to form a “Heart Wall.” This is a wall of energy the subconscious mind creates around your heart to protect you from further emotional hurt. While a Heart Wall does keep you safe, it has a negative affect on your prosperity and makes it difficult for you to give and receive love. Those who have a thick Heart Wall often go through life feeling isolated and disconnected from others.
As Dr. Nelson explains in his book The Emotion Code, How to Release Your Trapped Emotions for Abundant Health, Love and Happiness: “I believe that Heart Walls affect us in two ways. First, they block the heart energy from flowing through the body; this makes it more difficult for the body to heal itself, and can cause physical symptoms, particularly in the neck, upper back and shoulders. Second, they block us from fully opening our hearts to others. In essence, a Heart Wall will make you numb to others and make it more difficult for you to feel emotions and connect to others. When you realize that the mind puts the heart wall up to protect us in the first place, it all makes sense, but if you have a Heart Wall, you will have a harder time being able to give and receive love freely.”
The release of a Heart Wall is sometimes readily apparent, but most of the time the results are more subtle. Once a Heart Wall is removed, the body has to go through a healing process; subsequent changes in your life may appear gradually in ways you might not immediately recognize.
How Does a Trapped Emotion Affect You? If you are finding it difficult to understand why you can’t seem to shake certain emotions, it is usually because that emotion is trapped somewhere in your body. Wherever a trapped emotion lodges itself, the surrounding body tissues tend to fall into resonance with its vibrational energy and you will naturally attract more of that emotion to you. For example, let’s say you have anger trapped in your body that you’ve unknowingly carried around for years. As a result, you often feel angry or easily become angry, even over something insignificant. Each time you encounter a situation where you could become angry, you are far more likely to do so because a part of you is already vibrating with the frequency of anger. Until that trapped anger is released, you will continue to attract more of it.
The more trapped emotions you have, the more negative energy you are radiating. This is why positive thinking and self help programs aren’t always successful and the Law of Attraction may not be working for you. Even worse, trapped emotions can create depression, anxiety, prosperity and relationship issues, and interfere with the normal functioning of your body’s organs and tissues. If you have persistent and unexplainable aches and pains or a chronic condition for which traditional medicine has no answer, trapped emotions could well be the underlying cause. Applying The Emotion Code is an easy way to find out.

In a word, it’s all connected: our desires, our emotions, the evolving dilemma, the thought to ask the question, the asking of the question, and the falling of folded papers that answers the question — even the solution itself.
Chits are a little-known but highly useful form of inner guidance. They involve writing out all your options for solving a dilemma on small pieces of paper, and mixing them up. Then you connect deeply with the Divine, throw them, and pick up one — typically the one that lands closest to you or a sacred object. You unfold it and read it. You follow that counsel.

What was the hunter-gatherer diet of our Paleolithic ancestors and why is it still the optimum diet for us today? By analyzing ancient human remains and studying the diets of modern day hunter-gatherers, evolutionary biologists have gained insights into the ancestral human diet. All ancestral diets shared certain key ingredients. Food sources were limited to wild animals (including brains, bone marrow, fats and organs), fish and shellfish, foraged wild plants, eggs, insects, nuts, seeds and wild berries. The primitive diet provided the nutrient-dense balance for the critical metabolic processes which allowed our ancestors to thrive, reproduce, and pass their genes to subsequent generations.

My professional resume reads like a Wikipedia entry for Attention Deficit Disorder. I’ve had more jobs than hair colors and filled out more career aptitude forms than tax returns.
Early confusion is expected. That’s why we don’t hold kids to a career choice made at age seven. Otherwise, we’d have an overage of fire fighters, princesses and Incredible Hulks.

Christine Upchurch Many have awakened to the power of intention, the “secret” to manifesting their desires. There are books, websites, and DVDs devoted entirely to the subject. Many people around the world now understand, to some extent, that they have the power to co-create their reality. However, there is something more, called Reconnective Healing, that can enhance the co-creation process and provide gifts that extend well beyond intention.
