Renowned holistic physician and lecturer Dr. Bradley Nelson lays bare the inner workings of the subconscious mind. He reveals how emotionally-charged events from your past can still haunt you in the form of "trapped emotions"; emotional energies that literally inhabit your body. Dr. Nelson explains how trapped emotions can create pain, malfunction and eventual disease. Trapped emotions can exert a dramatic effect on how you think, the choices that you make, and how successful you will be. Perhaps the most important discovery that Dr. Nelson has made is that trapped emotional energies will often gather around the heart, creating a "Heart-Wall" that may block you from giving and receiving love freely. The Emotion Code is a powerful and simple way to rid yourself of unseen baggage.
