Unlocking Hidden Energy: How the Emotion Code™ and Body Code® Support Balance
Written by Sarah Parkins. Published August 18, 2025
The human body holds an incredible capacity for self-regulation - but sometimes it carries hidden burdens that block energy, disrupt balance, or create a sense of tension and fatigue. The Emotion Code™ and Body Code®, developed by Dr. Bradley Nelson, are energy-based modalities designed to help uncover and release these hidden imbalances, supporting the body’s natural ability to function with ease.
What the Emotion Code™ and Body Code® Are
The Emotion Code™ focuses on trapped emotions - emotional energies that didn’t fully process at the time they occurred. These trapped emotions can linger in the body, subtly influencing energy, mood, and physical comfort. Learn more.
The Body Code® expands on this work by looking at the body’s broader energy systems. It explores not only trapped emotions but also structural, nutritional, and environmental imbalances. Together, these modalities provide a full-spectrum approach to supporting energy balance and overall well-being. Learn more.
How the Body and Subconscious Mind Work
The body is constantly scanning, registering, and responding to everything in daily life - experiences, emotions, environments, and even subtle energy shifts. Much of this occurs at a subconscious level, meaning the body is aware of patterns and imbalances before the conscious mind notices them.
The subconscious mind acts as the body’s internal intelligence, storing emotional and physical experiences and regulating energy flow. Trapped emotions or subtle imbalances are recorded here, influencing tension, energy, and overall comfort.
During an Emotion Code™ or Body Code® session, the practitioner accesses this information through the subconscious mind, identifying patterns and imbalances that may be holding energy or creating subtle blockages. Once the information is recognized and released, the body naturally adjusts, allowing energy to flow more freely and supporting a sense of ease.
How a Shift Happens
During a session, the practitioner communicates with the body’s subconscious intelligence to identify where energy may be blocked. Once an imbalance is uncovered, it is released, allowing the body to let go of what it has been holding. Clients often report experiencing:
A sense of lightness or ease
Reduced tension or mental clutter
Greater emotional clarity
Increased awareness of energy flow
These shifts allow the body to naturally move toward balance and alignment, supporting overall well-being without requiring medical intervention.
How Remote Sessions Work
One of the most remarkable aspects of the Emotion Code™ and Body Code® is that sessions can be effective remotely. How is this possible? The answer lies in energy, information, and principles drawn from quantum physics.
Energy Fields Are Everywhere
The body exists not only as a physical system but also as an energetic field that extends beyond the skin. This field carries information about the body’s state, including trapped emotions or subtle imbalances.
Nonlocality in Quantum Physics
Quantum theory shows that energy and information aren’t bound by physical distance. Just as entangled particles can influence each other instantly, a practitioner can connect with a client’s energy field remotely.
Conscious Intention as a Conduit
The practitioner uses focused attention to detect where energy may be blocked and to guide its release. The client’s subconscious mind receives the information and facilitates a natural adjustment.
Information, Not Force
The practitioner does not “push” energy or treat the body. Instead, they access information about what the body may need to release. The body then integrates the shift on its own.
The Science Behind It
Modern physics and energy science suggest that everything - thoughts, emotions, and physical structures - is composed of energy. Conscious intention can influence these energy fields, and the body’s own intelligence can respond to the information communicated during a session. Clients often notice subtle yet meaningful changes in their energy, clarity, and overall sense of ease.
Why It Matters
The body constantly communicates about its needs. When these messages are blocked, energy flow can feel restricted and tension may build. By addressing trapped emotions and subtle energy imbalances - whether in-person or remotely - the Emotion Code™ and Body Code® offer a pathway to support natural balance, emotional clarity, and a sense of well-being.
Key Takeaways: Emotion Code™ & Body Code®
The modalities work with the body’s natural intelligence to uncover and release trapped emotions and subtle imbalances.
Support a freer flow of energy and a greater sense of ease, clarity, and emotional awareness.
The body constantly scans and records experiences at a subconscious level, holding information about patterns, tension, and energy.
Sessions access information the body already knows, allowing natural adjustments to occur.
Effective both in-person and remotely, as energy and information are not bound by distance, as shown in Quantum mechanics.
