The Emotion Code summary

Recent research is proving what healers have known for thousands of years: even though our bodies seem very solid, we’re actually built out of energy. The Emotion Code, a therapeutic technique developed by the author, is based on the ancient wisdom that achieving a healthy mind and body requires healthy energy. 

Over the last one hundred years, quantum physics has shown that, at a subatomic level, atoms are actually 99.99% empty space. Think about that for a minute: 99.99% of everything that you see and feel, and which appears to be solid, is actually just vibrating energy! This isn’t just an unbelievable and interesting thought – it has a big impact on how we treat our bodies and minds, because energy is stored, released, and interconnected in complex ways. 

One way to think about trapped emotions is as balls of energy lodged in our system. Like electricity, they’re colorless and odorless – but anyone who’s ever been shocked knows that just because electricity is invisible doesn’t mean it isn’t real! Similarly, trapped emotions are powerful, invisible forces, and they impact how we think, feel, and react. 

Have you ever realized in retrospect that you overreacted to an innocent remark, were inexplicably afraid of something, or misinterpreted someone's behavior, leading to a lot of negative emotions? 

In the last blink, we learned about how Debbie’s heartache impacted her so profoundly that it ultimately caused a physical reaction mimicking a heart attack. In an ideal world, trapped emotions would be caught and released before ever getting to such an extreme place, but the reality is that they’re often neglected so long as to cause physical pain. 

The reason trapped emotions cause physical pain is that these balls of energy are located in the body, where their energy influences the tissue around them. 

So if our bodies and our emotions are made out of energy, and that energy can get stuck in us and have a negative impact on our well-being, what can we do about it? The answer lies with an incredibly simple process, called muscle testing. 

Muscle testing was developed by Dr. George Goodheart in the 1960s, initially as a way to correct structural imbalance in the skeleton. However, it was quickly discovered that muscle testing could be used for far more than structural misalignment; it offered us the opportunity to get information directly from the subconscious mind. 

One of the best explanations for how muscle testing works is that our subconscious brains are used to processing and judging only what is directly in front of us at any given moment. Over the course of human evolution, moving towards what is good and true has protected us, while moving away from what is bad or false has also protected us. 

By applying this instinct to something called a sway test, we can unlock subconscious truths.

If you thought that the complicated part of the Emotion Code must come with the release of emotions, you were wrong! In fact, releasing trapped emotions is just as easy as locating them.

Once you’ve located a trapped emotion and discovered when and where it was stored, the next step is to release it. Remember: trapped emotions are built of energy. To release a trapped emotion, an equal and opposite energy wave must collide with it so that it can be leveled out and washed away. A useful analogy for this is noise-canceling headphones, which sense the frequency of external sound waves and produce the opposite frequency so as to level the sound waves out. 

The Emotion Code is beautifully simple. However, it’s possible that you’ll run into some roadblocks along the way. Here are some things to look out for as you begin your practice. 

First off, it’s important to remember that getting used to muscle testing will take some time. We tend to be very stuck in our conscious brains, which can sometimes interfere with our subconscious mind’s ability to lead. To counteract this, take a deep breath and try to clear your mind. 

Often when we’re caught up in a feeling, especially a negative one, we believe it’s occurring because of external forces. However, the truth is that no one can make us feel anything – we choose our feelings. That’s why the Emotion Code is so useful. Not only does it help us let go of old emotions, but it can also help us choose emotions in the present that better serve us. 

Imagine you spent a week preparing ideas for an important meeting, and you were really proud of the work you did. When the meeting came around, your boss dismissed your ideas, which brought up a negative reaction in you.
