Imagine that your body is like an old cupboard full of boxes that you've never opened. Each box has a label: "sadness for the time I wasn't chosen for the team", "anger at the ex who disappeared without giving an explanation", or even "fear you inherited from your great-grandmother who fled the war". The Emotion Code is the key to opening these boxes, shaking out the contents and finally throwing away what no longer serves you.
This brilliant method was developed by Dr Bradley Nelson (a true bioenergetic guru) and helps to identify and release emotions trapped in the body. And the best thing? Many of these emotions aren't even yours - they come from ancestors who loved passing on heirlooms (and no, it's not that family gold or the marvellous land you were hoping for).
The story of the Emotion Code begins with Dr Bradley Nelson, a chiropractor with a heart as big as his curiosity. During years of practice, he realised that, in addition to physical adjustments, many patients improved in surprising ways when they released trapped emotions. Fascinated by this link between emotions and physical well-being, Dr Nelson immersed himself in studies of kinesiology, energetics and holistic therapy. The result? A simple but incredibly effective system that since 1992 has helped people all over the world relieve pain, trauma and emotional blockages.
These emotions accumulated since childhood (or from experiences more traumatic than a Sunday without Netflix) can cause unexplained physical pain, emotional blockages and even difficulties in relationships or careers.
If this luggage wasn't enough, the heart-wall can also amplify these negative sensations and block any expansion you're trying to achieve.
With the help of muscle testing (applied kinesiology), we can have a direct conversation with your subconscious. It's as if we were asking "inner Google" for information to find the emotions that are holding back your brilliance. Then, using release techniques, we help the body reset the system, releasing those emotions and allowing natural healing to take place.
Relief from physical pain with no apparent cause - When even the doctors have their eyebrows raised.
Reducing anxiety and stress - Life is more zen than a yoga session at sunset.
Improved sleep quality - Sleeping like a cat by the window on a summer's afternoon.
Strengthening relations - Less emotional baggage means more room for love and harmony.
A significant percentage of the clients who come to me have heard of the Emotion Code and have even read the book or tried using this simple tool by themselves. When you work with the Emotion Code, you quickly realise the invisible weight you've been carrying. It's as if you suddenly realise that you've been walking through life with a backpack full of stones - and they weren't even yours! Many of the emotions we release are emotional legacies that have been passed down from generation to generation (thanks again, great-great-grandparents!).
And it's not just ancestors who leave their mark. You know those times you give advice to your friend who's in an endless loop of love drama? Yeah, you end up absorbing half her frustration. It's as if you've gone out to help and come back with a suitcase full of someone else's emotional junk. Then you wonder why you're irritated for no apparent reason - spoiler alert: it's not you, it's that three-hour phone call about the ex who's back (again).
Suddenly, you start to look at your life from the outside, like a viewer in a thrilling series (but without the heavy drama). The pieces fall into place, clarity emerges and lightness sets in. It's hard to explain the level of inner peace you feel - but I can assure you that it's similar to that moment when you finally find the TV remote that's been lost on the sofa.
And if you're thinking: "OK, I've understood the Emotion Code... but now what?" - Well, Dr Bradley Nelson didn't stop there. He looked at the Emotion Code like someone who opens a drawer and realises that there's still more stuff to sort out. That's how we now have the Body Code™ and the Belief Code®.
✨ The Body Code is like that friend who knows a bit about everything - from energies stuck in the liver to nutritional imbalances and misaligned meridians. Not only does it help you release emotions, it also goes round the house looking for loose threads. Unexplained pain? Strange sensations? The Body Code takes the torch and goes hunting for hidden imbalances.
✨ Now, the Belief Code, ahhh... the classic cliché of the cherry on top. This one goes straight to the heart of the matter (and the mind). It's the equivalent of changing the mental filters on the Instagram of your life. Those limiting beliefs that convince you that you don't deserve it, can't achieve it or aren't enough? The Belief Code looks at them and says: "Get out of the way, here comes someone with a new narrative!"
Now imagine putting these three tools together. It's like having a first aid kit for your soul, ready to be used when you feel the universe is toying with you (spoiler: sometimes it is, but you'll already be prepared).
Ultimately, whether with the Emotion, Body or Belief Code, the important thing to remember is that healing doesn't have to be a Mexican soap opera drama. We can cry, laugh, and feel lighter at the end - as if we've just taken off our tight shoes.
If you feel there's more to explore (or if you simply enjoy aligning chakras like spring cleaning), take a look at the other codes. Who knows, it could be the start of a serious relationship... with yourself! 😉
✨ Let's get rid of what no longer fits!
Do you want to feel that lightness and take the first step towards unlocking your potential? Then, book a session and easily dispose of those old boxes that have been taking up space!
