What Is a Heart Wall? Why It Blocks Love + How to Release It

A Heart Wall is your body’s energetic barrier after pain—blocking love, passion, and purpose. Learn what it is, how it forms, and how to release it with the Emotion Code.

💔 What Is a Heart Wall—and Why You’ll Want to Release It

You know that ache in your chest that feels more than just emotional? That’s your body speaking. And your subconscious mind isn’t silent—it’s been taking notes and acting to protect you.

When we go through intense pain—heartbreak, loss, rejection—our subconscious says, “We’re not letting that happen again.” So, to shield your heart, it builds something called a Heart Wall.

💓 What Is a Heart Wall?

The Heart Wall is a concept from the Emotion Code, developed by Dr. Bradley Nelson. If you’re new here, check out my Introduction to the Emotion Code video. But here’s the essence:

When you experience emotions that you can’t fully process—because you’re overwhelmed, too tired, or don’t feel safe—the energy of that emotion gets trapped in your body. These are called trapped emotions.

If your heart breaks—or even hurts physically—your subconscious builds a protective wall. But instead of bricks and mortar, it uses those trapped emotions, which are available energy, to construct this barrier. Over time, this wall blocks:

  • Your ability to give and receive unconditional love
  • Falling deeply in love
  • Feeling your purpose
  • Following your heart
  • Living and loving fully

This protection may have helped you survive, but it can also keep you stuck.

✏️ Science + Heart Energy

Science shows your heart is the most electromagnetic organ in the body—its field extends up to 12 feet around you! (Discover Healing)

That means your heart sends signals to every cell—and it can even "think" and "remember." So when a wall is built—even energetically—it changes everything: your capacity for love, connection, purpose, and emotional health.

🌟 What Happens When You Release a Heart Wall

Let me share some powerful stories from the official Heart Wall page:

  1. Dr. Nelson’s wife was so protected by her Heart Wall that by age 2, it cut her off from emotional feeling and belonging. After her Heart Wall was released, she suddenly felt rich emotions, belonging, and connection for the first time. (Discover Healing)
  2. Lynn R. from California found love again only after clearing her Heart Wall. She said:
    “Finding someone to share my life with just felt like the next step… We are now approaching our 5th anniversary… living the fairy tale.”
  3. Dr. Toni LaMotta says her finances and health improved dramatically after doing daily Emotion Code work and clearing her Heart Wall:
    “My finances have dramatically altered… I now have a successful speaking and coaching practice.”
  4. Connie J. shared this about her 9-year-old son:
    “My son was diagnosed as being clinically depressed at only nine years old… Instead, I have found a treatment that has literally saved him.”

These stories are deeply moving—and they show how removing a Heart Wall can ripple across love, health, and happiness.

💡 How Do We Release It?

Here’s how I work with the Heart Wall using the Emotion Code:

  • I use muscle testing to ask:
    1. “Do you have a Heart Wall?”
    2. “Can we release an emotion from it now?”
  • If the answer is yes, we identify the trapped emotion and release it energetically.
  • Then I ask again until your body says “that’s enough for today.”

Most Heart Walls take 3–5 sessions to release because they were built over years—sometimes decades. And fun fact: your subconscious usually knows what material your Heart Wall is made from, and how thick it is.

Like that copper wall we released in my client’s session—two kilometers thick, built from protection. But when it’s released, everything shifts.
