In my practice at Inner Light Healing, I use the Emotion Code—a simple yet powerful way to identify and release trapped emotional energy that the subconscious mind stored in an effort to protect us from further pain.

Emotions shape the quality of our lives. Low-frequency states like fear or anger feel very different from high-frequency states like love and gratitude. Those higher states foster coherence between the brain and heart, help regulate the nervous system, restore balance, and create the conditions for healing.

Modern research directions such as epigenetics, psychoneuroimmunology, and quantum biology suggest that what we feel can influence our biology—even at the cellular level. Uplifting emotions often support healthy regulation, while prolonged negative states can contribute to dysregulation.

Being our best selves means releasing what holds us back. When we take ownership of our energetic health and pair it with clear healing intention, we move toward the higher vibrational states that support balance, regulation, and thriving.

Every emotion carries an energetic signature. When that energy becomes trapped, it can create imbalances that affect organs and tissues—or disrupt your overall field, thoughts, and mood. Frameworks like Dr. David Hawkins’ Map of Consciousness illustrate how lower-vibration emotions can color our outlook and experience.

By releasing trapped emotions with the Emotion Code, we help remove those imbalances so your body can do what it’s designed to do—recalibrate, restore, and move you toward a lighter, healthier, happier life.

In my experience, trapped emotions are unresolved emotional energies from past events, trauma, or abuse that we continue to carry. They can show up as all kinds of symptoms—impacting health, relationships, career, and overall success. They may even block us from feeling true love and happiness, leaving us disconnected or lonely.

Because emotions are energy—just like the rest of the body—they can influence tissues, organs, and overall wellness. Trapped emotions can contribute to pain or dysfunction and strongly shape how we think, the choices we make, and how we respond to everyday challenges.

I often describe trapped emotions as balls of energy lodged in the body. Each has its own frequency based on the emotion. That “stuck” vibration can affect the area where it’s held and also disturb overall balance and well-being.

In my experience, every trapped emotional energy matters. Each one traces back to a specific moment or event—something I lived through or an energy I may have inherited or absorbed from someone else. These residues can influence us in many ways, showing up as challenges, problems, and pain—both physical and emotional.

Wherever they come from, their impact can be very real. Sometimes the discomfort is intense, and I’ll often find clusters of trapped emotions near the area where the body hurts most.

When we release these energies, the body can rebalance and do more of what it’s built to do—heal. Using the Emotion Code, I regularly see physical and emotional issues ease, and in some cases resolve or become far less intense.

You might!  Many of our clients report various sensations as the energy moves out of them.  These include yawning (which is a big sign of energy release!), getting the chills, a wave of nausea, momentary headache, sometimes burping, a surge from the center out to the hands and feet, and more.  It all depends on your body.  Sometimes clients simply feel the particular emotion we are releasing, like anger or sadness.  And sometimes they feel nothing, which is fine and normal.

Your body knows exactly how many trapped emotions it can release and in what order it wants to release them.  Your practitioner will help to find these answers from your body during your session.

Most of the time you will find that you can identify and release about five to ten trapped emotions in a thirty minute session.  This is typical, but sometimes you may find that your body will only allow you to release two or three emotions in a session, and that’s okay.  Trust the wisdom of the body!

When you have released all your body can release in a session, usually you will lose the ability to be tested momentarily because your body is processing and is on a state of overload.  When that happens, you are done for the time being, until the next session generally.  This usually takes 1-2 days, but can take up to 4 or 5 days for some people.  Again, your practitioner will help to find these answers from your body during your session.

Each person is different in their process, from how many emotions they can release in one session, to how they feel afterward.  How many trapped emotions are involved in one issue you are having varies as well.  The whole process is completely customized to you!

A common misconception is that this kind of emotional release therapy is only applicable to adults.  We often think of children as being too young and innocent to acquire the excess baggage that we have acquired through our years as adults. Sadly, children have emotions that they need help with as well.

The truth is that children and teens face a wide range of challenges, and it can be difficult for adults to understand their child’s perspective and the impact that experiences of the world can have on them.  The Emotion Code addresses the root of the imbalances, which can be physical, mental, emotional, and/or spiritual.

Even children who aren’t suffering from any imbalances can benefit from an energy healing session as part of their wellness routine.  Sessions not only remove trapped negative emotions and other imbalances that may not yet be outwardly affecting the child, but also work to maintain a healthy and high-vibrational energy field, which is essential to general wellbeing.

Teens, children and infants of any age can be tested, verbal or not.  Most often we find trapped emotions in a child from when they were in the womb.  Usually, these are the mothers emotions during pregnancy, although sometimes they can come from the father or even from somebody else living with the family at the time; like a grandmother, grandfather, or sibling.

Children also acquire trapped emotions during birth, school, family events, or any other occasion in their lives.  These trapped emotions can have an effect on their behavior and possibly lead to learning difficulties and relationship issues.

Emotional release therapy is a great option for the whole family!  Family dynamics can be greatly improved and it is a worthwhile investment.
