When I first earned my certification in healing with The Emotion Code™ I was of course very pleased with myself and excited to be opening my practice. I happened to be in my neighborhood super market and was checking out using the new self-checkout systems that seem to be popping up everywhere, when the head of their human resources department commented that whenever I wanted a job as a cashier all I needed to do was to let her know. Since this was not the first time she had tried to hire me, I smiled and excitedly told her about my recent certification and opening my new practice.

She was polite and curious but I could tell she also thought healing energy and releasing trapped emotions was pretty “out there.” However, a few days later she approached me again and wanted to know more, but she really didn’t know what to ask, since on some level she thought what I was doing was truly on the fringe. However, this very nice, intelligent woman that I talked with briefly several mornings a week couldn’t come up with the questions to ask so she could learn more. I explained that any form of energy healing is a holistic practice that uses the body’s own energy to remove blocks, or in my case, negative energy in the form of trapped emotions. By using a person’s subconscious to reveal trapped emotions and release that negative energy, I am able to help a person’s body to begin self-healing. I heard myself say that, and realized that this concept on its own was a lot to take in and process.

I was definitely going to have to find ways to explain to people that were easier for them to understand. So, I came up with a few things that helped take some of the mystery out of what I do, and put it into terms that even if the person I was talking to didn’t fully understand, they would at least be familiar with the concepts.

First, is that energy healing is not new. Many cultures have studied and practiced different forms of energy healing for thousands of years. Ancient Chinese and Indian healers discovered that there is a natural energy field that flows within and outside the human body. Both created maps of this energy field within the body and were able to identify hidden internal pathways within the body where this energy flows. The healers of both of these ancient peoples built an understanding of these energy paths and were then able to create various healing modalities designed to help relieve pain, illness, and disease. They all saw internal energy as a powerful force of good.

Second, is that energy healing is not mystical voodoo; it is based on solid scientific principles. Thanks to our high school physics course, we all learned that in the early 1900s the discovery of Quantum Physics revealed that everything, at a sub-atomic level, is energy. Which means that we as human beings are energetic beings. Our physical bodies, material objects, and nature itself are all pure energy. So it really only makes sense to try to heal energy.

Thirdly, is that someone doesn’t have to be a “spiritual” person to benefit from energy healing. Just like you don’t need to be Isaac Newton and understand the law of gravity to be hit on the head by a falling apple, you don’t need to fully understand how healing with The Emotion Code™ works to benefit from it. As long as you go into it with an open mind, anyone can benefit from this healing. If you are suffering from stress, anxiety, depression, pain or any other issue, energy healing sessions with The Emotion Code™ can help alleviate the problem. Even if you are feeling great, you can always feel better.

The fourth thing I want people to know and understand, is that energy healing is easily accessible. Energy healers are almost everywhere: Reiki, Acupuncture, Reflexology, etc. Even massage therapy is a form energy healing, for it releases tension in the muscles, encourages the flow of lymph, and allows for deep relaxation. However, the awesome part of The Emotion Code™ is that healing can be given and received even if the client and practitioner aren’t in the same room, because the power of our intention causes energy to flow to where it's most needed.

All you need to travel on this amazing journey is an open mind and a desire to heal.
