So… Is Your Higher Self the Same as Source?

  Not exactly. Think of it like this: Source is the origin —pure consciousness, God/Goddess/Divine Light, whatever you want to call it. It’s the everything-and-nothing energy from which all things come. Your Higher Self is your personal bridge to Source. It’s your soul in its purest form , untainted by fear, ego, or human distortion. Your Higher Self is you , just on the zoomed-out level —the version of you that remembers the full story, all lifetimes, all lessons, all missions. So: Source is the sun. Your Higher Self is the sunbeam that still holds its essence but is uniquely you . Is Your Higher Self Your Soul? Pretty much— but here's the nuance: Your soul is eternal. It’s the part of you that has lived countless lives. Your Higher Self is like the fully awakened version of your soul —the one not currently squeezed into a human body trying to pay bills and avoid family drama. When you're in human form, you're kind of like the tip of the i...

Clearing Emotional Blocks: Reclaim Your Health & Happiness



I was watching a documentary called Emotions 2.0, and they were talking about emotions being trapped in the body. That made sense to me because I had heard about some testing done on rats, where scientists conditioned them to fear cherry blossoms. The fear became so deeply embedded that it was coded into their genes—so much so that even their offspring were afraid of cherry blossoms, despite never having encountered them before.

This idea resonated with me. If fear and trauma can be passed down genetically, it makes sense that our own unresolved emotions could stay trapped in our bodies, affecting us in ways we may not even realize. Naturally, my curiosity kicked in, and I started diving deeper to find a solution. That’s when I came across The Emotion Code—a fascinating method for identifying and releasing trapped emotions to promote healing and well-being.

In this blog, I’ll explore what The Emotion Code is, how it works, and why so many people swear by its ability to help clear emotional baggage and improve overall health.

Key Concepts of The Emotion Code

1. Trapped Emotions

Trapped emotions are negative emotional energies that, instead of being processed and released, remain stored within the body’s energy field. These unresolved emotions may stem from past trauma, stressful experiences, or inherited emotional patterns. Over time, they can create imbalances that manifest as physical discomfort or emotional struggles.

2. Muscle Testing (Kinesiology)

Muscle testing is a technique used in The Emotion Code to communicate with the subconscious mind. The body responds to yes/no questions through changes in muscle strength—strong responses indicate a "yes," while weak responses indicate a "no." This method helps practitioners pinpoint specific trapped emotions.

3. The Emotion Code Chart

Dr. Nelson developed a chart containing 60 common emotions, divided into two columns. Practitioners use muscle testing to determine which specific emotion is trapped and where it is located in the body.

4. Releasing Trapped Emotions

Once a trapped emotion is identified, the next step is to release it. This is often done using magnet therapy, where a magnet is swiped along the Governing Meridian (an energy pathway used in traditional Chinese medicine). The practitioner also holds an intentional focus on releasing the trapped energy.


How Does The Emotion Code Work?

The Emotion Code follows a four-step process:

  1. Identify the Trapped Emotion – Using muscle testing, the practitioner determines whether a trapped emotion is present and which one it is.

  2. Locate the Trapped Emotion – The practitioner may also use muscle testing to identify where in the body the trapped emotion is lodged.

  3. Release the Trapped Emotion – A magnet is run along the Governing Meridian while setting the intention to clear the emotional energy.

  4. Verify the Release – Muscle testing is used again to confirm that the emotion has been successfully cleared.


Scientific Perspective on The Emotion Code

While many people report positive experiences with The Emotion Code, it is important to recognize that this method is not scientifically validated. Here are some key points to consider:

  • Lack of Empirical Evidence – The concept of trapped emotions and their impact on health is not widely accepted within mainstream medicine.

  • Muscle Testing Controversy – Muscle testing relies on subjective responses and has not been consistently proven reliable in controlled studies.

  • Placebo Effect – Some individuals may experience benefits due to the placebo effect, meaning their belief in the technique leads to perceived improvements.

Despite these considerations, many individuals who practice The Emotion Code believe in its effectiveness based on personal experience.


Practical Applications of The Emotion Code

If you are interested in trying The Emotion Code, here are some potential areas where people have reported benefits:

  • Physical Healing – Relief from chronic pain, headaches, digestive issues, and other ailments.

  • Emotional Wellness – Reduction in anxiety, depression, and emotional overwhelm.

  • Improved Relationships – Letting go of emotional baggage that affects personal and professional relationships.

  • Self-Growth and Empowerment – Increased clarity, confidence, and alignment with one’s true self.


Final Thoughts: Is The Emotion Code Right for You?

The Emotion Code offers an intriguing approach to healing by addressing unresolved emotions and energy imbalances. While it may not be a substitute for medical or psychological treatment, many people have found it to be a valuable tool for personal transformation.

If you are curious about The Emotion Code, consider trying it with an open mind. Whether you experience profound healing or simply gain deeper self-awareness, exploring new ways to support emotional wellness can be a rewarding journey.

Learning to Speak Again—from the Inside Out

There was a time I silenced myself— Not because I had nothing to say, But because I thought nobody cared. It all started when I became a photographer. I spent years capturing other people’s stories—their moments, their milestones, their memories. I poured myself into their light while quietly fading into the background. No one ever really asked about my story. Then I moved to a town where, oddly enough, that silence deepened. Coming from Orange County, I was used to people being curious—wanting to know me, connect with me. But after moving to Lake Elsinore, it felt like no one gave two shits about who I was or what I’d lived through. Even in my church community—despite showing up, attending events, trying to build relationships—no one asked. No one seemed to care. So, over time, I just stopped sharing. I stopped offering anything at all. For years, I silenced myself. Not because I had nothing to say— But because nobody asked. Then came the stroke. Afterward, I stuttered and stumb...

From Employee to Entrepreneur

You might wonder why I started a photography business.  After losing my career in the mortgage industry and struggling to find work in sales and marketing during the 2007 recession, I turned to landscape photography as a hobby. People who saw my photos started asking for headshots and family portraits. Initially, I resisted, insisting I didn't photograph people. But with gentle encouragement from friends, I eventually gave in, and lo and behold, I was really good at photographing people. So much so that it felt more like divine intervention. It was as if God were saying, "Stop trying to open doors to your past of dead-end jobs and oversold career promises when I'm trying to open doors to your future." This was a spiritual awakening, and with that, everything sort of just fell into line. After that, what truly motivated me to start my own business was a deep-seated frustration. I was tired of building other people's empires with my own sweat and effort. Whether it ...

Reclaiming Wholeness: From Survival to Soul-Aligned Success

There are two pivotal moments in my life that changed everything. The first was when I had my stroke. I was lying on the ground, unable to move, and I prayed to God, “Please don’t leave me like this.” I had no idea how I was going to provide for myself. I’ve been an unmarried woman my entire life—not necessarily by choice, but because I never met the man I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. So I’ve always had to pay my own bills and take care of myself. After my stroke, I was left with deep trauma and fear. It felt like my soul had disconnected—like I’d lost a piece of who I was, and I didn’t know how to get it back. The second was the pandemic. It left a lot of fear in me. I had my stroke during the pandemic, and in a strange way, it was both a blessing and a curse. The world stopped—and that pause gave me the time I needed to heal. In the beginning, I focused on my physical healing. I thought that was the most important thing. I needed to rebuild my strength, stamina, and endu...

From Paralysis to Progress

 One Step at a Time  After going up and then down hundreds of steps of stairs, on my way back up again I looked up at the steep steps and asked myself while out of breath why I do this? The answer came quickly: Because I can! Walking is a gift, and as a #strokesurvivor, it's also a #miracle that I am able to. Having been completely paralyzed on half my body, every step for me is a victory. On my way back up, I knew the higher I climbed, the harder I had to push myself.  With each step I take, the distance between me and a repeat stroke lessens. I push past what feels impossible and I #nevergiveup.
