This is how Dr. Bradley Nelson, the creator of The Emotion Code, explains the phenomena of the Heart-Wall.

The heart is the center of your being. It is through our heart that we give and receive love. Our heart is a center of our creativity, but our heart also is vulnerable to emotional injury. At some painful moments in our life we feel like our heart is going to break. When we are feeling deep grief, hurt, or loss our subconscious mind takes emotions trapped in the heart area, and literally makes a ‘wall’ around it. Why? To protect your heart from injury; to keep your heart from being totally broken.

When you realize that your mind puts up a heart wall to protect us, it all makes sense. If you have a Heart-Wall, you will have a harder time being able to give and receive love freely. The heart wall also hampers your ability to feel good emotions. It will contribute to feelings of isolation and depression, and further interfere with your ability to succeed. There are also physical effects of having a heart wall. It can cause heaviness/pain in the chest, neck, and shoulders. A heart wall will also lower your overall immunity.

Miranda is a perfect example
of how a Heart-Wall can interfere with your love life.

She was an attractive 38-year old nurse who came to me suffering from neck pain. During the course of the examination, she mentioned that she had not dated anyone in years and had no interest in having any kind of a relationship with men anymore. When I tested her, I was not surprised to find that she had a Heart-Wall.

Eight years before, Miranda’s heart had been broken in a relationship with a man she had deeply loved. In an effort to protect her heart from experiencing that kind of pain and injury again, her subconscious mind had created a Heart-Wall.

In Miranda’s case, three lingering emotions had been trapped in her body for all those years, blocking her from experiencing a loving relationship. She had no idea that these trapped emotions were the major underlying cause of the pain she was experiencing in her neck as well. Her neck pain had been going on for some time, and was considered chronic and even a bit mysterious by the other doctors she had consulted, as nothing seemed to relieve it.

One by one, we cleared each of these emotions. At the end, I asked her body if the Heart-Wall had finally been released. Her body said that it was completely gone.

I didn’t see Miranda again for about three months. When I did, she looked incredibly happy. I asked her what had changed and she excitedly said, “Everything!” She reported that her neck pain was long gone. But there was even better news than that.

“Right after I saw you last,” she said, “I ran into my childhood sweetheart. I hadn’t seen him since elementary school. But it turned out, he’d been living right around the corner from me – less than a block away – for almost eight years. We started dating and something really sparked between us. We’re in love! I think he’s going to ask me to marry him.”

The woman who had come into my office complaining of neck pain and swearing off men was gone for good. She was like a completely new person.

“Thank you so much for helping me,” Miranda said. “If you hadn’t released my Heart-Wall, I honestly don’t think this would have happened. I was too closed-off before.”

When trapped emotions and Heart-Walls are released, people sometimes say it’s like they can finally feel again. They can give and receive love freely for the first time in a long time. In that state, very interesting and wonderful things can happen.

How We Are Meant to Live

This is how we’re meant to live. We’re meant to live vibrant, healthy lives, filled with love and joy. Of all the emotions, love is the most pure and has the highest vibration. Love, that most powerful and most popular of all the emotions, is both generated by the heart and received by the heart.

When you have a Heart-Wall, you are not able to give love as well as you might, because that love energy that is in your heart cannot get out as well.

At the same time, love that is being radiated toward you by other people is blocked to some degree.

As a result, you can go through your life somewhat insulated from others, because of the emotional traumas you’ve been through and the subconscious wall that literally exists around your heart. The traumas were genuine enough and there is no doubt that they caused more pain than your body thought it could stand to feel again – that’s why the Heart-Wall made perfect sense at the time. But until you take it down, you’ll be trapped behind it to some degree, less able to reach out and connect with people, even the people you love most.

The importance of clearing the Heart-Wall from yourself and your loved ones cannot be overestimated. In practice, I have found incredibly profound results from clearing the emotions that form the heart wall. I have seen suicidally-depressed people completely get over their depression and recover after having the heart-wall cleared. I have seen seemingly unreachable, very angry young people who were getting poor grades turn their lives around. I have seen the incredible serenity that people regain when they again feel connected to the people around them. People have even related to us that for the first time in their lives they can actually feel God’s love for them.
