When you go through emotionally painful or stressful experiences — like heartbreak, grief, rejection, betrayal, or trauma — your subconscious mind sometimes tries to protect your heart from further hurt. To do this, it creates what’s called a Heart-Wall — a sort of energetic barrier made up of trapped emotions.
These trapped emotions are like little balls of energy from unresolved emotional experiences. Instead of being processed and released, they get stuck. Over time, the subconscious layers them around the heart as a kind of emotional armor.
This Heart-Wall protects you in the short term, but if it stays up, the trapped emotions block your ability to deeply connect with others, feel love, or experience joy.
It’s like living with your heart in a bubble — safe, but disconnected.
Heart Walls Affect Relationships
A Heart-Wall can seriously affect relationships — both romantic and non-romantic — by making it harder to give and receive love, trust, and have a connection.
1. Emotional Numbness or Distance
You might feel emotionally “flat” or disconnected, even around people you care about. The Heart-Wall acts like a filter, dulling both pain and joy. That means love doesn’t fully come in — or out.
- Fear of Vulnerability
You may unconsciously avoid intimacy or push people away. Even if you want connection, your Heart-Wall is like an internal bouncer saying, “Not safe. Don’t get too close.”
3. Repeating Relationship Patterns
If your Heart-Wall was formed after betrayal, heartbreak, or abandonment, you may keep attracting similar situations — because the trapped emotions that created the wall are still “vibrating” in your energy field, affecting your choices.
4. Emotional Miscommunications
It is harder to communicate from the heart when you’ve got layers of unresolved emotional baggage around it. You might misinterpret others’ intentions, or feel misunderstood even when someone is trying to connect.
Clearing the Heart-Wall often leads to emotional breakthroughs: more openness, deeper empathy, and a greater sense of connection in all kinds of relationships.
Do You have a Heart-Wall?
If you want to know if you have a heart-wall, ask your body. Here is a video I did years ago on Muscle Testing your supplements.
You can set your intention that your subconscious will give you the correct answer, and ask “Do I have a heart wall?” Muscle test and get a yes or a no.
The next question is, “Is the heart-wall ready to be released?” Get a yes or a no.
If you get a no, that might mean now is not the time. Some reasons include you are in an unsafe or unhealthy environment / relationship, you might be going through something traumatic or emotional, or you might be processing and don’t have the emotional bandwidth to release your heart wall at this time.
Please trust your body.
An Emotion Code®, Body Code®, or a Belief Code® practitioner are certified to release the emotional layers.
The average number of sessions can be anywhere from 3 to 12 sessions – and even that is not set in stone. Every Body is different.
Once you start releasing the heart wall we ask that you complete however many sessions required.
Each session is different and every time you will release a different number of emotions.
If you feel like something has been holding you back from love, joy, or closeness, maybe it’s time to explore what your heart’s been carrying.
Please schedule a free 15-minute consultation if you would like me to help you release your Heart-Wall!
