Reroute your emotions so that they don’t get trapped in your body

from The Emotion Code: How to Release Your Trapped Emotions for Abundant Health, Love, and Happiness by Bradley Nelson

How to Apply This

  1. Breathe into it.
    Honor that you are feeling this way for a reason, and intend to hold on to it until you can decipher its message, whatever that may be.
  2. Attempt to recognize what it is you’re feeling.
    Some examples of emotions are abandonment, loss, betrayal, anxiety, rejection, anger, fear, jealousy.
  3. See if you can feel pain or any other sensation happening in your body, as it may be related.
  4. Analyze how you arrived at this feeling.
    Did it come out of the blue? Are you reacting appropriately to some situations? Does it seem like an overreaction? (Remember that you may not have a clear perception of this, and that is okay.)
  5. Find out if there is a trapped emotion contributing to or creating your current feeling.
    If there is, clear the emotion. Repeat this step as needed until no more trapped emotions remain.
  6. Analyze your feelings again, breathing deeply.
    Is that feeling still there? If it feels like you are experiencing a different emotion, jump back to step two. If the same feeling is still there, continue to step eight.
  7. Thank your body and subconscious mind for communicating with you.
    Honor the emotion you are experiencing. Give yourself permission to let old habits fall away, and to choose a positive emotion instead.
  8. Decide how you want to feel instead.
    Higher vibrational replacements are such emotions as compassion, tolerance, and curiosity. If needed, create thoughts that align with the emotion you have chosen. For example, if you want to feel curiosity, you might say to yourself, “I wonder how I can better help him understand what I want.”
