Would you like to become one of the million people who are participating in releasing their Heart Wall in 2026? Are you wondering if you even have a Heart Wall? What exactly is a Heart Wall and what are you going to release?
Dr. Bradley Nelson of Discovery Healing has been helping people release trapped emotions for years. His first book, The Emotion Code, brought his method of releasing the heart wall into main stream. A trapped emotion is a vibrational energy about the size of your fist that may influence your emotional and physical health.
Emotions can guide us as we experience life. Sometimes they are helpful and other times they hinder our progress. Dr. Nelson states, “When emotional pain is overwhelming, your body protects your heart by forming a Heart Wall.” This is a subtle barrier that is filled with trapped emotional energy that is there to shield you from further pain.
A Heart Wall prevents you from fully giving and receiving love.
I’ll never forget the words of my friend when she caught her husband kissing another woman. She told me she felt her heart shatter into a million pieces. It was a physical pain which stopped her from functioning for the next six months. That experience left deep wounds.
Another client told me she had to harden her heart against the world due to the trauma she experienced as a child. Most of us have had some form of heartache which may include divorce, loss, getting bullied, or a trauma of some sort where we go into flight or fight and had to find a way to survive. Even if you haven’t had a serious setback, you may have developed a heart wall to shield that younger part of you from emotional pain.
When you resist emotions and tamp them down, they get stored in a barrier in your heart. By repeating the story (what story do you hear yourself telling everyone?) you amplify emotions that are stored in your heart, creating more of a barrier. When you become so emotional you cannot process what is happening, which happens in crisis or trauma, you store the emotion in your body somewhere. These emotions become trapped emotions.
Dr. Nelson states a trapped emotion is about the size of an orange and it gets lodged somewhere in your body creating a disruption of the natural flow of energy in your body. This can result in physical symptoms which I first heard about in the 80’s from Louise Hays who wrote the book Heal Your Body.
Trapped emotions can also result in reoccurring emotional patterns, emotional reactivity, distorted perceptions and sabotaging your own relationships. Emotion Code Partitioners are taught how to release the trapped emotions and I encourage everyone to read The Emotion Code.
Past emotional experiences linger. Our emotions are powerful energetic forces. I am a Practitioner of the Emotion Code, Body Code, and Belief Code sessions. I believe that trapped emotions shield us from hurts, however, over time they may also block us from expressing joy, and experience authentic connection with others.
The Heart Code: The Breakthrough Method to Open Your Heart and Transform Your life, Taping the Power by Dr. Bradley Nelson and Jean Nelson was released on December 2nd, 2025. Dr. Nelson challenged his practitioners (that includes me) to help release one million Heart Walls in the next year.
Reasons to Release Your Heart wall include:
Relationships where you keep attracting the same type of person over and over again.
Feeling as if you are not living your life to the fullest.
Unable to access joy.
Not able to comprehend the whole “gratitude” thing.
Physical heart problems that are compounded by trapped emotions.***
Knowing something greater is available and not knowing what is stopping you from getting where you want to be.
Emotional, mental and physical trauma that keeps you feeling negative.
Feeling isolated, emotional numb, or disconnected and,
the list goes on.
Anyone who is in a current abusive relationship is not a candidate for the Heart Wall Release.
You can easily muscle test yourself using the sway test to see if you have a heart wall. This video shows you how to get your yes and no. The question you will ask is, Do I have a heart wall? And then muscle test yourself using the sway test.
When you call or show up for a session, we will muscle test you to see if you have a heart wall. We don’t know how many trapped emotions you can release in a session. We also can’t tell you how many sessions are required, however, most people are done in three to seven sessions. It has been reported that there are people who needed more sessions than seven.
Are you ready to experience a positive, fulfilling life?
I’m ready when you’re ready.
