Is Your Heart Closed off to Love?

Determine If You Have a Heart-Wall
Do you or someone you know have trouble giving or receiving love, trusting others, or forming deep and satisfying relationships? These are signs of a widely prevalent but little understood condition known as a Heart-Wall®.
When you experience a traumatic childhood, a bad breakup, a divorce, the death of a partner, abuse, severe injury, or any dreadful event, the emotional pain of the experience can cause you to feel defensive and to wall off your heart. A Heart-Wall may prevent you from giving and receiving love, block you from trusting others and forming new relationships, and leave you feeling perpetually lonely and isolated.
Heart-Walls are made up of the energy of Trapped Emotions from difficult experiences. Most people have multiple unresolved and unprocessed emotions that lay trapped one over another, all covering their heart creating a Heart-Wall. Trapped Emotions such as these are commonly referred to as emotional baggage.
Trapped Emotions can make people more susceptible to emotional distress and relationship problems. They commonly manifest in physical discomfort and illness as they exert prolonged stress to the tissues and systems of the body, causing all manner of dysfunction and even disease. Trapped Emotions can go undetected for years because their energy remains intact until discovered and intentionally released. Trapped Emotions have a compounding effect when they form a Heart-Wall.
A Heart-Wall is first formed as defensive mechanism — your body’s attempt to protect your vulnerable heart from further hurt and trauma. This energetic barrier keeps you from feeling as deeply as you otherwise would, in an attempt to protect the core of your being, your heart. Although this can be helpful in the short term, it has a serious downside: It inhibits your ability to feel love, joy, gratitude and other wonderful emotions. It leaves you feeling disconnected, numb, shutdown emotionally, and out of touch with what you want to feel.
QUIZ: Do You Have a Heart-Wall?
If you think you might have a Heart-Wall, take my quiz to learn more!
If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may have a Heart-Wall. Identifying this possibility is a great first step toward healing. Once you’ve determined what’s potentially holding you back, the next step is to check for Trapped Emotions that may have formed a Heart-Wall.
The most effective way we know to clear a Heart-Wall is to use The Emotion Code™. A Heart-Wall can be identified and removed by following the Emotion Code charts and doing a method of muscle testing on yourself, or by working with a Certified Emotion Code Practitioner. If you’re not sure how to use these methods to clear energetic blockages, we recommend that you work with a practitioner who is trained to clear Trapped Emotions and Heart-Walls. You can find certified practitioners listed at: Discoverhealing.com/practitioners.
Completely clearing a Heart-Wall may require several sessions. This is because a Heart-Wall is typically made of layers of emotional energy which need to be identified, cleared and processed. Here are four things to help you when clearing a Heart-Wall:
- Refer to the Heart Wall Flow Chart and The Emotion Code Chart and follow the questions listed. These charts can be found with the starter kit on Discoverhealing.com. Since it is free, you have nothing to lose but your emotional baggage.
- Use muscle testing when asking the questions listed on the Heart-Wall Flow Chart. Always ask the questions in such a way that the answer is either a “yes” or a “no.”
- Identify the Trapped Emotion(s) that make up your Heart-Wall one at a time, using The Chart of Emotions and muscle testing.
- Keep your intention clear and focused as you swipe a magnet (or your hand) over the Governing Meridian 3 times to release each Trapped Emotion that you find, or 10 times for an inherited Trapped Emotion. (Yes, you can inherit emotional baggage!)
After Releasing a Heart-Wall
After releasing your Heart-Wall, you may sense an immediate shift. Releasing emotional energy sometimes leaves you feeling echos of the emotions you just cleared for a short time, but the change is more often a subtle and pleasant one. Many people report a feeling of lightness immediately. After a short period of processing, some begin to feel love and joy more profoundly — sometimes for the first time in years. This usually comes as a great surprise as they may have given up on the idea of ever being able to love deeply and freely. Yet a powerful transformation is possible through this tool for energy healing.
