Understanding the Codes
What is The Emotion Code & Body Code?
The Emotion Code and Body Code are gentle, non-invasive energy healing approaches developed by Dr. Bradley Nelson, a Holistic Chiropractic Physician and one of the world’s foremost experts in the fields of Bioenergetic Medicine and Energy Psychology. They are based on the understanding that our emotional experiences, stress responses, beliefs, and even inherited patterns can quietly influence our wellbeing, sometimes long after the original event has passed. When emotions or stress are not fully processed, they may become stored as trapped emotional energy within the body. Over time, this can contribute to subtle patterns of tension or imbalance in the system. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, these sessions gently explore what may be sitting beneath the surface — emotional layers, energetic imbalances, or blocks that could be contributing to how you feel physically, mentally, or emotionally. You don’t need to “believe” in anything for this work to begin. You simply need a little openness and curiosity.
How My Sessions Are Facilitated
Sessions are conducted remotely by proxy and carried out quietly on your behalf. Because this work focuses on your body’s energetic field, physical distance does not limit the process, allowing you to remain comfortably in your own space. Using muscle testing (kinesiology) or a pendulum, I ask simple yes-or-no questions to access your subconscious awareness — the part of you that holds memories, experiences, and patterns beneath conscious thought. If you are new to this, it may feel unfamiliar at first, and that is completely okay. Many people begin with curiosity rather than certainty. When an imbalance or trapped emotion is identified, it is gently released by passing a magnet along the governing meridian — a key energy pathway that runs along the spine. During remote sessions, this process is performed over myself as your proxy. Each session clears what your system feels ready to release at that time. Nothing is forced, and nothing is pushed beyond what feels appropriate for you.
The Emotion Code Sessions
The Emotion Code sessions focus specifically on identifying and releasing “trapped emotions”, emotional energies that may have become stored during stressful or overwhelming experiences. You might resonate with The Emotion Code work if you: • Feel stuck in recurring emotional patterns • Notice reactions that feel bigger than the situation • Struggle with low mood, anxiety, or stress • Carry physical discomfort with no clear cause • Feel like you’ve done “the mindset work” but something still lingers The aim is not to relive the past, but to gently clear what no longer serves you. Some people feel subtle shifts. Others feel noticeable lightness or clarity. Every experience is different.
The Body Code Sessions
The Body Code expands on this by exploring a wider range of potential imbalances that may be influencing your wellbeing — including emotional stress, energetic disruptions, nutritional imbalances, structural patterns, environmental stressors, and lifestyle factors. It works across six main areas: 1. Emotional, mental and energetic stress 2. Organ systems and energy pathways 3. Environmental or chemical stress 4. Pathogen-related imbalances 5. Structural misalignments 6. Nutrition and lifestyle influences It is not about diagnosing, it is about listening to what your body may be communicating beneath the surface.
Heart Wall Sessions
A "Heart Wall" is a term used to describe layers of trapped emotions that may have formed around the heart as protection during times of hurt, rejection, or emotional pain. In the moment, this protection can be helpful. Over time, however, it may contribute to feeling guarded, closed off, or hesitant to fully open in relationships or experiences. You might resonate with this work if you: • Feel guarded or protective in relationships • Struggle with vulnerability or trust • Notice repeating emotional patterns • Feel emotionally numb or disconnected Heart Wall sessions gently explore whether these protective layers are present and whether your body feels ready to begin releasing them. When appropriate, trapped emotions forming the Heart Wall can be released gradually, allowing space for greater openness, connection, and emotional ease. The process unfolds patiently and respectfully, guided by what your system feels safe to release at the time.
What This Work Can Gently Support
This work is not about “fixing” you. Rather, it gently supports the release of emotional and energetic imbalances, allowing your mind and body to return to a more natural state of balance, clarity, and wellbeing. Some people explore Emotion or Body Code sessions when they feel: • Stuck in recurring emotional patterns • Overwhelmed or carrying unresolved stress • Disconnected from themselves • Curious about underlying causes of physical or emotional tension • Ready to release what no longer feels aligned For some, shifts may feel subtle — a quiet sense of increased clarity, lightness, or ease. For others, changes may be felt more noticeably, either more quickly or gradually over time. These shifts can be experienced in different ways, whether emotionally, mentally, or physically — such as feeling calmer, more grounded, more present, or noticing a softening in tension or patterns that once felt stuck. There is no right or wrong way for healing to unfold — only the way that feels most natural and supportive for you.
Readiness & Timing
Each session works with the body’s innate wisdom and subconscious awareness. At times, certain imbalances may not be ready to release immediately, or only a limited number of layers may be cleared during a session. This is a natural part of the process, as the body releases what it feels safe and ready to let go of at that time. Sessions are intended to support the body’s healing process, and results or experiences may vary for each individual.
A Gentle Note
This work is supportive and complementary. It does not replace medical, psychological or veterinary care.
Shifts can happen — sometimes subtly, sometimes noticeably — but healing is collaborative. Your awareness, self-reflection, and willingness to engage in your own growth are just as important as the sessions themselves.
There are no promises of perfection. Only gentle support.
If you are feeling curious, even slightly, you are welcome to explore this work. You do not need to have everything figured out. Sometimes the first step is simply allowing yourself to be open to something new.
Healing does not need to be dramatic. It can begin gently.
