Say hello to emotions–all of them. Learn about how trapped emotions can hold you back in life, affecting your physical, emotional and mental health, and what to do about it.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

Emotions are some of the body\u2019s most prominent messengers. And, although they serve an important purpose and can be incredibly helpful, they can sometimes get trapped, leading to an array of physical, emotional, and mental health concerns that can wreak havoc on our daily lives. \u201cWhen you have an intensely difficult experience, the emotions you feel should fade with time, but sometimes they\u2019re just too much for you to handle and your body may hold onto those negative energies in the form of what many call \u2018emotional baggage,\u2019\u201d says Dr. Bradley Nelson, a veteran holistic physician, bestselling author, and creator of the Emotion Code<\/a> technique. According to Dr. Nelson, the negative energies we carry from these experiences are called trapped emotions, which can be released through his Emotion Code technique as well as everyday practices, such as mindfulness, expression, connection and more.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

What Is The Emotion Code?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n

The Emotion Code is an energy-based technique that is centered around the notion that emotions are made from energy and each has its own frequencies \u2014 which is what you really feel when you feel emotions \u2014 and focused on releasing trapped emotions (aka, trapped low-frequency energy), which is known to create physical, mental, and emotional distress, and lead to pain<\/a> and discomfort that disrupts daily life. With guidance from Dr. Nelson\u2019s book, The Emotion Code: How to Release Your Trapped Emotions for Abundant Health, Love, and Happiness<\/em><\/a>, you can learn to let go of trapped emotions which, \u201ccan enable emotional healing and help you feel better after enduring traumatic or difficult emotional experiences, even if they happened many years ago,\u201d he explains.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

As humans, we experience emotions constantly. And, while we are most often able to feel the emotion, process it, and move on, some emotions linger and get trapped, especially if the energy of the emotion feels too intense. These emotions often lead to physical, mental, and energetic imbalances caused by low frequencies that accompany certain emotions such as anger, sadness, grief, and frustration. The Emotion Code teaches you how to identify trapped emotions (including, whether they come from yourself or were inherited by a parent). Once the trapped emotions are known, the method focuses on releasing each emotion, one by one, through a method that involves using sway testing based on the technique\u2019s Emotion Code Chart and swiping a magnet across the body\u2019s Governing Meridian, which starts at the lips, runs up the nose, over the center of the forehead, back of the head, and all the way down to the tailbone.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

The Consequences of Trapped Emotions\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n

Trapped emotions can manifest in a variety of ways and affect your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. This is particularly true for some common mental health concerns, including resentment, anxiety, depression, anger, and even lack of clarity, says Jacqueline Gilmer, MS, LPC-S, LCDC, the Clinical Director at Recovery Unplugged<\/a>, located in Austin, TX.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
