Throughout our lives we experience all kinds of emotional ups and downs, and  while we don’t always remember the specifics about past situations or events,  their emotional after effects can stay with us indefinitely. Whenever we are  unable to cope with our emotional pain, it may be easier simply to dismiss it or  deny its existence. In other words, we stuff it hoping whatever we are feeling  will stay hidden and we won’t ever have to deal with it. Some of the ways we do  this include:

  • Pretending nothing has happened
  • Engaging in compulsive behavior
  • Overeating
  • Drinking to excess
  • Using prescription or recreational drugs
  • Over exercising
  • Overworking

Even though you think you have let go of something from the past, your body  can still be harboring the invisible energies of emotions associated with it.  You may be surprised to learn that you are carrying the past around with you in  ways you could never imagine. When we do not allow ourselves to feel our  negative emotions or find a healthy way to release them, they can get stuck in  our body. If buried for a long period of time, they can actually cause all sorts  of physical conditions.

Thanks to Dr. Bradley Nelson we now have a tool that releases the negative  energy of buried emotions. A specialist in the emerging fields of bioenergetic  medicine and energy psychology, Dr. Nelson created a method known as The Emotion  Code that uses muscle testing to identify and bring trapped emotions to the  surface where they can be neutralized with a magnet.

What is a Trapped Emotion?

An emotion can become trapped at any age or even be inherited. When emotions  become too powerful for us to handle, the result can be an electrical short  circuit that becomes “trapped” in the body. This is an invisible ball of energy  that wherever it entrenches itself, the energy field in that area becomes  distorted. The result can be self sabotage, psychological distress, physical  illness, or pain for which there is no medical explanation. While any negative  situation 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 an invisible wall of energy the subconscious mind creates around  your heart to protect you from further emotional hurt. While a Heart Wall can  keep you safe, it also 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.

How Does a Trapped Emotion Affect You?

If you wonder why you can’t seem to shake certain emotions, it might be  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, you may 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  the 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. 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 a contributing or underlying cause. Applying The  Emotion Code is an easy way to find out.
