Awaken Your Inner Healer with the Emotion Code

Emotion Code

Stress is a natural experience in life. It’s often viewed as a doorway to disruption of wellbeing, peace of mind, and a clear navigational path in a challenging situation.

I’m not telling you anything you don’t already know. Working as a psychologist with thousands of people over the past 40 years, I’ve learned that the relationship with stress is complex. What seems supremely stressful to one person may be a walk in the park for another.

Some folks court stress as a way of life, while others seek to minimize its influence.

So much of how you relate to life’s stressors depends upon what you’ve experienced, what skills you’ve been taught, what strengths or vulnerabilities were modeled, what help was withheld from you, how you’ve sought to learn from challenge, what strategies you’ve developed, your natural temperament, and how resilient you are in the face of tumult. There’s more to it, but you get the gist.

Some folks view stress simply as that which elicits the fight or flight response. Sure, it may do that, but there is more to it than that. (Read my Self Soothe Strategy Playbook for more on that topic).

Living in the current state of the world is challenging everyone these days.

I’m sure you can easily tell me the top 3 stressors of your current reality.

Take a moment and make that list. What are the top three stressors of your life at this time? 1-2-3.

Being human requires a flexible array of skills so you can navigate life with sturdiness. As I witness what’s happening in the United States and tracking what is happening around the world, I see, feel, and hear the rising tension. Like an unseasonably high tide, it is threatening to drown some while leaving others afloat in an uncertain sea.

So now is an excellent time to master skills which will help you navigate whatever uncertainty you and those around you are experiencing. I know a lot of skills that are useful and want to simplify things, so let’s start with one focus.

I’m really interested in helping you rapidly lower tension in your body, mind, emotions, and energy field.

The less tension you store, the freer you are to think, act, relate, and navigate in harmony. No matter the storm.

I use a lot of Energy Psychology techniques and modalities in my healing practice and daily life. I’m extremely interested in ways to translate more complex clinical practice into easy to use, self treatment techniques. So you can “treat” the rising tension efficiently and effectively as soon as it is noticed in every day life.

Given that the world is changing and collective stress is increasing with no resolution in site, I believe you need to become even more skilled at managing tension than you are right now.

That’s saying something as I’m sure you have skills a plenty, yet these are indeed challenging times.

I also believe you have an intelligent, integrated body-mind-emotion-energy system which, when working effectively, can support self-healing. You’re already primed for self-healing.

The Emotion Code is an Energy Psychology modality created by Bradley Nelson, DC.

It’s well known by many and is intended to rapidly clear the energy that is interfering with the flow of your vital life force. Why is that so important? Your vital life force, and how it flows through your physical-mental-emotional system, is integral to your health and wellbeing at all levels.

I’m offering two opportunities to explore The Emotion Code and how you may apply this for your own self-treatment.

I’ll offer a brief overview of The Emotion Code and a group energy healing session during my Virtual Salon on ZOOM on Tuesday, April 29th, 7 – 9pm ET.

Whether you are new to or deeply familiar with The Emotion Code, you’ll enjoy the benefits immediately during the group session. I’ll be exploring basic information about stress, energy psychology, the interrelated mind-body-emotion-energy system, and influential factors in storing tension (eg, emotions, beliefs, energy habits, wounding). I’ll introduce The Emotion Code as a modality and demonstrate its use with a group healing session. You’ll determine how that works for you.

Next I’m offering Self-Healing with The Emotion Code as a two week mentoring group on ZOOM, May 6th and 13th, 7 – 9:30pm ET.

I’ll be covering a lot of ground in a simple and practical way so that you can use The Emotion Code for yourself, with family members, and your pets. Here’s the deal. It is a mentoring group, not a practitioner training. It requires you purchase The Emotion Code book or audio book from your favorite bookseller. Bradley Nelson wrote this book to teach you how to use The Emotion Code for yourself and your family. I’ll be reviewing some basic aspects of the book and the process so that you understand the theory and rationale behind The Emotion Code (and Energy Psychology). You’ll get some practice with muscle testing, identify how to run a self-treatment session, and get some practice.

You’ll have a week to explore this for yourself and come back with more practice and an opportunity to clarify your questions.

After the two weeks (or three if you join the Virtual Salon), you can dive more deeply into the book and practice sessions with yourself. Once confident, you’ll share this with family members who are interested. I’m adding in a bit about treating pets and you’ll know why when we meet. Remember, this isn’t a practitioner training so you aren’t offering this professionally to any one. If you want to add this to your practice or start a healing practice using The Emotion Code, let me know and I’ll guide you to the training.

I’m committed to sharing Energy Psychology methods for self-treatment that build upon a basic foundational knowledge of why they matter, how they work, and when you can apply them for yourself.

If you’re feeling stress and want to learn how to lower tension (past and present), join me to explore how The Emotion Code may support you.

Peace be with you and with all.  No exceptions.

The Greater Good Science Center at Cal Berkley has been exploring how to bridge differences since 2018. They ask some valuable questions. “Does “bridging differences” mean that we paper over social injustice in pursuit of social harmony? Does it require us to sacrifice our ideals in order to always find common ground with others? Or to accommodate views or behavior that we find abhorrent?” They have discovered a lot in all these years. Go explore.

Via Sophia. Modern Woman. Ancient Path.

I have been reading a series of novels set in the late nineteenth century that portray the social structures women were expected to live within. 

Hardships were often hidden behind social niceties, beautiful homes, fashionable clothing, and the polite manner considered fitting for a lady of society. A woman’s ability to enjoy simple pleasures such as reading freely, choosing her friendships, or expressing her opinions was often restricted by her husband. Abuse was tolerated, and the risk of being sent to an asylum for “hysteria” was real if a woman challenged the status quo or stood in the way of an affair.

Via Sophia: Embodying the Mystical Feminine

ia Sophia has arrived. This “Way of Wisdom” offers an invitation to step upon a Living Spiral Path and discover a new understanding of what it means to embody the Mystical Feminine.

For the past fifteen years I have lived and taught within the Mystical Feminine. I have sat within many circles and immersions with women as we explored how to practically and powerfully engage Feminine wisdom in everyday life.

One Question Changed Everything

When my daughter was in eighth grade, she and her Girl Scout troop were beginning to explore ideas for their individual Silver Award projects.

Around our dinner table, we tossed around possibilities. Nothing landed. Nothing stirred real interest. So we encouraged her to do what we have always trusted. Stay open. Listen. Pay attention to what people are talking about in the world.

Care within the Cold Dark Winter

Driving into Soul Sanctuary last weekend, I noticed the trees were engaged in a wild dance.

I should have paid closer attention as I got out of the car, because the wind nearly took me with it. Walking to the door, I had to lean in and brace myself for a moment just to stay upright. The cold whipped through my clothes and found every uncovered space, sharing its bone-numbing chill.

Milo, the Snowstorm, and a Small Lie

We recently had a big snow in my neck of the woods.

Everyone was hunkered down. The fridge was full, chicken soup was bubbling on the stove, and my book pile sat patiently on the coffee table. As the snow covered the neighborhood and the plows dumped fresh mounds over our carefully shoveled walk, we took turns peeking outside.

As a kid, snowstorms were pure joy.

“I think we need to be friends.”

Those were the first words out of my mouth when I introduced myself to Rev. Hilda Covington. We’d just finished a county meeting of nonprofit mental health and social service agencies. She was the presenter that month. We almost didn’t meet because Hilda arrived an hour and a half late to a two-hour meeting.
