What Is the Emotion Code? A Powerful Energy Healing Method Explained
Are you carrying emotional baggage that’s weighing you down—physically, emotionally, or energetically? As a certified Emotion Code practitioner, I often get asked: "What is the Emotion Code, and how does it work?"
If you're searching for natural healing methods, emotional release techniques, or energy therapy options, you're in the right place. In this post, I’ll explain the Emotion Code in simple terms, how it can benefit you, and what to expect during a session.
What Is the Emotion Code?
The Emotion Code is an energy healing technique developed by Dr. Bradley Nelson. It’s based on the idea that unresolved emotions from past experiences can become trapped in the body, leading to physical pain, emotional imbalances, and even illness.
These trapped emotions are like invisible weights that can affect your thoughts, relationships, and health. The Emotion Code helps identify and release these energies so your body can return to a state of balance and wellness.
The Emotion Code is the foundational energy healing technique from Dr Brad and is an intrinsic part of the Body Code and Body Code sessions as well. I will explain this in further detail below.
How Does the Emotion Code Work?
Emotion Code sessions are simple, non-invasive, and often surprisingly fast. Here’s how the process works:
1. Muscle Testing (Applied Kinesiology)
We use muscle testing to access your subconscious mind and identify trapped emotions. This technique allows us to uncover emotional blocks that your conscious mind may not even be aware of.
2. Identifying the Emotion
Using a chart of 60 commonly trapped emotions, we pinpoint which emotion is causing disruption, when it became trapped, and sometimes even who it relates to.
3. Releasing the Emotion with a Magnet
Once identified, the emotion is released using a magnet, usually rolled over the Governing Meridian—an energy pathway used in traditional Chinese medicine. This step helps clear the energy and restore balance.

What Is a Heart-Wall?
A Heart-Wall is a protective shield of trapped emotions that forms around the heart, usually after emotional trauma or heartbreak. While it can offer short-term protection, it may also block you from fully giving or receiving love, success, or happiness.
Releasing the Heart-Wall is one of the most transformative aspects of the Emotion Code. Clients often experience breakthroughs in relationships, emotional clarity, and even career or creative goals.
What Can the Emotion Code Help With?
The Emotion Code is not a replacement for medical treatment, but it can complement many healing paths. People use it to address:
Chronic pain and physical discomfort
Anxiety, depression, and emotional stress
Self-sabotage and limiting beliefs
Relationship and communication issues
Feeling stuck, lost, or disconnected
Why I Became an Emotion Code Practitioner
I became a certified Emotion Code Practitioner because I experienced the life-changing effects of emotional release for myself. Now, I help others let go of the emotional baggage they didn’t even know they were carrying.
You don’t have to relive past trauma or spend hours talking about your pain. With just a few moments of focused intention and energy work, you can experience real, lasting relief.
For me, one of the best initial experiences I had with the Emotion Code was dealing with underlying anger and resentment that I was feeling towards my husband. I was so angry and full of blame and I couldn’t even really pinpoint why. We had just moved into a new house, in a different part of the country and he had to travel back to the city we used to live in, every week for work. The first week he left the anger and resentment hit me like a steam roller! And I was so unkind to him. I had only just started using the Emotion Code then and what happened after a session on myself was one of the key reasons why I pushed on and got my certification. I uncovered layers and layer of abandonment and also anger and resentment that had been stuck in my body since childhood. Because these emotions had become trapped, their resonance was stuck in my body and I was reliving that emotion.
Once I had cleared these emotions I felt noticeably lighter and able to see things from a new perspective. My poor husband! He didn’t want to leave me and kids to travel for work, but he had to. And I didn’t make it easy for him in those first few weeks.
A few days after I had released these emotions he said to me “I don’t know what you’ve done, but you are being so much nicer to me now”. It was such a cool sign that this stuff really works!
How is the Emotion Code different from the Body Code?
The Emotion Code is what we call “Level One” of the Discover Healing modalities. The Body Code is level two and The Belief Code is level 3. Each modality complements the other and the Emotion Code is very much an intrinsic part of the Body Code. So when you book a Body Code session we will still use the Emotion Code as part of our sessions.
I like to think of trapped emotions as the “energetic anchor” of the associated imbalances that we find in Body Code sessions.
So, the Emotion Code looks at trapped emotions that become stuck in the body, any time we experience an emotion so intensely that we are unable to process it and it becomes trapped. Whereas the Body Code takes the concept of trapped energy even further and is able to map out where in the body the energy is trapped, and how it is potentially affecting our physiology ie: our body systems, body parts and even what kind of sub-conscious programs we have.
