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.

Mastering Meditation: Embrace Distractions and Deepen Your Practice

​ Meditation often conjures images of serene stillness and unwavering focus. Yet, for many, the reality includes a flurry of thoughts, fleeting moments of clarity, and the challenge of maintaining concentration. If you've ever felt disheartened by a wandering mind during meditation, know that you're not alone—and that these experiences are a natural part of the journey. ​ 1. Acknowledge and Return—Without Judgment Distractions are not failures; they're opportunities to strengthen your focus. When a thought arises and pulls you away from your meditation, gently acknowledge it—perhaps thinking, "There's a thought"—and then return your attention to your chosen focal point, such as your breath or a visualization. This act of returning is like exercising a muscle; each redirection enhances your mental resilience. ​ 2. Anchor Yourself to Sensations Engaging your senses can ground your practice: ​ Body Sensations: If you're visualizing a ball of ligh...

Why Your Coach’s Character Matters Just as Much as Their Skills

Why Your Coach’s Character Matters Just as Much as Their Skills I recently had an eye-opening experience with someone I had followed and admired for her grit and tenacity. Like me, she took a leap, leaving the career she trained for to turn her passion into a business. As a marketing coach, she built her brand during COVID, mastering skills I hadn’t focused on because I was healing from a stroke. Now that I’m back, I’ve been exploring what’s new in the field, and I was excited to see her “no fluff” approach to success. In our profession, it’s common for coaches to talk about mindset and resilience. To “walk the walk” and “talk the talk” are mantras we’re all familiar with, and as both a life and transformational coach, these principles are everything to me. For my clients, unshakable tenacity is part of what I bring to the table every day, and I admired that she seemed to embody this too—or so I thought. She scheduled a training right after the recent election, which I thought showed t...

Walking the Edge: My Journey as an Empath Learning to Protect, Heal, and Shine

For as long as I can remember, I’ve sensed things others couldn’t. Energies, presences, whispers from another realm—all mixed into the fabric of my everyday life. It wasn’t until much later that I understood why: I’m an empath. Being an empath means I absorb emotions and energies around me, sometimes to the point where it feels overwhelming. Negative energies, draining people—what I call “energy vampires” or “soul snatchers”—can knock me off balance if I’m not careful. For a long time, this sensitivity felt like a curse. But now, I see it as a gift—a calling. Encounters Beyond the Veil Throughout my life, I’ve had moments that defy logic. One night driving past a cemetery, I saw a pink orb-like form linger around my car. It felt playful and curious, not frightening—a gentle energy reaching out across the veil. But it wasn’t one of my guardian angels. I’ve felt their presence in other ways, and this orb was something else—something that just passed through, maybe just drawn to my l...
