A 3-Step Daily Reset for Safety, Fear Rewiring & Emotional Healing After Trauma

By The Artful Woman
After surviving a stroke and a catastrophic accident, I’ve had to rebuild not just my body—but my nervous system, my thoughts, and my sense of safety in the world. At the very least, I dedicate 10 minutes each morning to anchoring my body in safety. From there, I’ve developed a simple 3-step daily reset that helps me move through fear, regulate my thoughts, and gently rewire how I relate to uncertainty, pain, and hope. This is not about perfection. It’s about returning to yourself, over and over again, especially after trauma. 1. Morning Safety Anchor (2 minutes) I place my hand on my heart and breathe: inhale for 4, hold for 2, exhale for 6. I say: “In this moment, I am safe.” This helps ground my nervous system and even supports calming phantom pain when it shows up. 2. Midday Thought Flip (30 seconds at a time) When fear starts to spiral into “what if” scenarios, I pause. Instead of feeding the fear, I answer it gently: “And if it happens, I’ll handle it. What if it goes right inst...

Clearing Emotional Blocks: Reclaim Your Health & Happiness

By The Artful Woman



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.

It’s time for me to start telling my story.

By The Artful Woman
 It’s time for me to start telling my story. For a long time, I stayed quiet outside of a very small circle of close friends. I shared only enough to stay connected, but not enough to be fully seen. That wasn’t avoidance—it was protection. After my accident, my nervous system and my energy field simply could not take in more input from the outside world. As an empath, I had to retreat in order to survive and heal. But as my strength slowly returns, I feel that silence shifting. I was in a tragic accident on Ortega Highway that changed the entire course of my life. In an instant, everything I knew about my body, my independence, and my future was disrupted. Since then, I’ve been forced into a long and ongoing process of rebuilding—not just physically, but emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. And I’m still in it. Even the simplest things that most people take for granted have become daily challenges. Basic mobility. Using the restroom safely and in time. Navigating transfers ...

Why I’m Still Here

By The Artful Woman
  Why I’m Still Here By Jean Marshall I’ve asked myself the question more times than I can count: Why am I still here? After a stroke that changed my life five years ago, I thought I had already learned resilience. I thought I had already been tested. But then came the accident — a beautiful September morning that shattered my body, altered my future, and once again forced me to start over from the ground up. There are days I still can’t fully understand it. One man’s poor decision, one wrong moment, and everything changed. My bones broke. My leg was lost. My body shut down. My life — the one I’d built with so much effort — came to a stop. But somehow, my heart didn’t. They tell me it took over twenty doctors and nurses to keep me alive that day. I was in an induced coma, held together by machines, prayers, and the hands of strangers. There were moments I thought I was dying — I even said my last prayers. But each time I surrendered, something unseen pulled me back. Something...

Help Me Stay Housed While Recovering From a Life-Changing Accident

By The Artful Woman
  Help Me Stay Housed While Recovering From a Life-Changing Accident On September 6th, my life changed in an instant when a driver crossed into my lane on Ortega Highway and hit me head-on. My car was thrown into the air and I nearly lost my life. My vehicle was completely totaled. I spent four months in the hospital. The first part was in a trauma unit where I was placed in an induced coma and underwent multiple life-saving surgeries. I was then transferred to an acute care facility where I required critical support, including IVs, a tracheostomy, a feeding tube, and dialysis. My injuries included: Loss of my right leg Six broken ribs and two vertebrae Broken pelvis, right arm, and wrist Multiple fractures in my left leg Kidney and heart failure from trauma Many of my injuries required surgical repair with metal hardware that I am still healing from After returning home, my focus has been recovery. I’ve faced infections, complications, and delayed healing that hav...

What Surviving Twice Taught Me About Purpose—And What It Didn’t

By The Artful Woman
  Questioning the idea that survival comes with a purpose to fulfill I’ve survived two life-altering events, and what I’ve learned about purpose isn’t what people expect. They say, “God kept your alive for a reason,” or “God still has a purpose for you.” And I need to be honest about how that lands for me. It doesn’t feel comforting. It feels like pressure. Like surviving something traumatic automatically comes with an assignment—something I’m supposed to figure out later, some hidden meaning I’m expected to uncover. And in my case, this hasn’t been said just once. It’s been said twice. Once after my stroke in 2020. And now again after a near-death accident on September 6th 2025 that changed my life forever. So it starts to create a pattern I can’t ignore—that my survival is always being tied to some purpose I haven’t “fulfilled” yet. And that raises a real question for me: Why does it sound like I have to go through something catastrophic in order for my life to be cons...
