A hidden Heart-Wall may block your capacity to love and heal

Hard - Requires significant effort Recommended

You’ve probably built invisible fences around your heart to keep out hurt—resentment, betrayal, grief. It feels safer with those walls up, but then genuine connection can’t get in.

Imagine your heart as a castle under siege, with a barrier made of trapped emotions. It may be anger at a parent, fear of vulnerability, or heartache from a lost love, block after block.

To topple that barrier, you begin by finding out if a Heart-Wall even exists. You might sway backward when you say “Do I have a Heart-Wall?” That backward dip tells you it’s there. Next, you muscle-test for each emotion in the wall—anger, fear, grief—one by one.

Then comes the big moment: you swipe your magnet down your spine ten times for each emotion, imagining it melting away your emotional bricks. Afterward, when you test “Am I more open to love?” your body moves forward again, proof that the wall is gone.

I might be over-simplifying, but this is how you reclaim your ability to feel deeply, love fully, and heal yourself and others. Tiny magnets, massive leap for your heart.

You lean into your body’s feedback—sway or test for a Heart-Wall. You name the trapped feelings inside it, then glide the magnet down your spine ten times per emotion. With each sweep you imagine your defenses melting. At the end, you test again and watch yourself sway forward—finally open to love and connection. Give it a try tonight.

What You'll Achieve

You will dismantle the emotional barrier blocking intimacy, unlocking deeper self-acceptance, improved relationships, and the courage to give and receive love.

Tear down the invisible fence around your heart

1

Ask if a Heart-Wall exists

Muscle-test or sway with “Do I have a Heart-Wall now?” If yes, proceed—this is an energetic barrier to intimacy.

2

Muscle-test for its size

Ask “Is this Heart-Wall large, medium or small?” A larger wall means deeper fear of love or vulnerability.

3

Identify trapped emotions in the wall

Muscle-test “Is there anger in my wall?” then “fear?” then “grief?”—one emotion at a time, narrowing down to each one.

4

Release each emotion ten times

Swipe the magnet down your neck and spine ten times per emotion, intending to pull each one out of your wall. You’ll feel the barrier soften.

5

Check openness to love

After clearing, test “Am I more open to love now?” and notice a forward sway or stronger muscle. That’s your wall coming down.
