There Is Still Plenty of Life to Live

Lately, it has been hot, so I decided to do something that would make life a little easier. I cooked a bunch of different meals in the crock pot, put them into containers, and froze them. That way, when the weather is hot, I wouldn't have to do much cooking. Then a flyer came in from the local Mexican market. They had pineapples, plantains, mangoes, watermelon, cucumbers—fresh fruits and vegetables at really good prices. They also had beef shanks. So after the gym, I had my caretaker take me to the store. I already had plenty of food at home. I had meals in the freezer, food in the refrigerator, and everything I needed. I wasn't going to the store because I was running out of food. But when I got there, something happened. I felt happy. The store was colorful and full of fresh food. I could choose one of this, two of that, three of something else. I wasn't limited to whatever quantity happened to come in a package. I could actually look at what I wanted and decide what I wa...

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.

Six Years Ago, I Survived a Stroke. Eleven Months Ago, Everything Changed Again.

I Almost Forgot My S trokeversary 💔 Please read my story, share this post, and help me get the word out.  Yesterday, August 3rd, marked six years since my stroke. I almost forgot. Not because it isn't important, but because I'm carrying so much pain from the injuries I suffered in my car accident on September 6th, 2025, that my stroke anniversary completely slipped my mind. That first year after my stroke, I honestly thought I was going to die every single day. I was constantly dizzy, scared, and didn't know if life would ever feel normal again. I remember telling myself, If I can just make it through the first year, I'll be okay. I had to learn how to walk, talk, and eat without choking all over again. Then came the second year. The third. Things slowly got easier. Life gradually started feeling normal again. I still have deficits—mostly in my left hand and a little weakness on my left side—for the most part, you couldn't really tell when I walked, or at least tha...

Before You Give Advice, Make Sure You Know the Whole Story

  One of the hardest parts of sharing my recovery online isn't the physical therapy, the setbacks, or even learning to walk again. It's the people who think they know my story after watching three seconds of a video. I recently shared my 10-month recovery update as a new below-knee amputee. The video wasn't asking for gait critiques, medical advice, or strangers to analyze my every step. It was documenting where I am in my journey and celebrating a milestone that took months of pain, determination, surgeries, setbacks, and rehabilitation to reach. I was sharing progress. I was sharing hope. I was sharing what it looks like to start rebuilding a life after a catastrophic accident. But instead of people simply celebrating that milestone, some immediately jumped into telling me what I should be doing differently. "Ditch the crutches." "Take gait lessons." "You're going to fall." Here's the problem. They didn't know my story. They didn...

Sometimes the Setbacks Are a Blessing in Disguise

  Sometimes the Setbacks Are a Blessing in Disguise When you’re rebuilding your life after a life-changing accident, every setback feels like another thing being taken away from you. For me, the last few weeks have been incredibly frustrating. I was finally starting to feel more confident using my prosthetic leg. I was making progress. I was walking more, getting stronger, and beginning to feel like I was getting a piece of my independence back. Then came the blood blisters. My amputated leg developed painful blisters, and suddenly I couldn’t wear my prosthetic. I had no choice but to slow down and give my body time to heal. At first, it felt like another obstacle. Another delay. Another reminder that recovery doesn’t happen on my timeline. But something unexpected happened. My remaining leg and ankle finally seemed to have the time they needed to recover. After my ankle surgery to remove three screws and the plate that had been holding my bone together, I had given it about four w...

Don't Borrow Your Dreams from People Who Never Chased Theirs

Don't Let Someone Else's Limited Thinking Become Your Limitations The reason I wrote this piece is not to rant. I recently lost my photography career after a tragic, catastrophic accident where I lost my leg. Now, once again, I'm being forced to reinvent myself. And that's kind of been the theme of my whole life: reinvention and resilience. I mentioned to some of the people closest to me what I wanted to do next, and boy, did they have opinions of their own. Not only am I still healing ten months after my accident, and my body is still going through trauma, but my brain is also forced to figure out what's next. When I told a couple of people what I wanted to do, they shut me down almost instantly. But then I had to think about their lives. All they've ever done was exchange their time for money. They don't understand me. I'm a creative person. I don't punch in and punch out for a J-O-B. So, I'm guarding my plans closely and only sharing them with...
