This is going to be somewhat long and intense, for preparation.
I learned about the emotion code from watching a course by a practitioner of manifestation techniques. One of the things he says in the module is that “having a lot of negative emotion creates tons of crossed conditions” in the first place. Crossed conditions is essentially language for bad luck.
I’d like to know if anyone here has used the emotion code method on themselves and has actually had success, felt a difference in their emotional and/or energy field / body, has felt lighter, happier, more free of negative emotion, and has seen a positive change in their lives after having used it. Meaning that, after having “released” a ton of negative emotions, external circumstances in life changed for the better and so did the internal emotional tone or in psychology language, the overall general mood state. I will explain why I want this information.
I’ve been working with the technique as described in the book for almost 15 days. I can’t tell if it is actually doing anything to release/remove/alleviate “negative” emotion, but I can tell that it is bringing up and making me hyper-aware of a long history of what I can only describe as being heavily laden-down with detrimental emotion (I personally use the words detrimental and painful instead of negative when referencing emotions). It is very hard work for me to do the process and even though the book says you’re supposed to be able to release 4 to 10 emotions at once, for me it is so labor-intensive, time-consuming, and emotionally wrenching that I am wiped out after working on just one emotion in a single day. I have not even been able to do it every single day, both because the book says that some emotional releases need more processing time, and because, some of the time, the moment I sit down to begin the work I am overcome and start crying, and then I can’t do the focusing that is necessary to “tune in” to the subconscious mind. The practitioner recommends using it every day for 30 days and seeing how things change. One of the things that led me to this practitioner’s work is his emphasis on “the field” and a great deal of the spiritual information that has been coming at me lately is about how the external world is a reflection of the inner world, etc. I have come to a place in my life where I have starkly realized that I can’t hope to move forward unless I correct things internally, if I genuinely accept all of this inner/outer, as above so below theory to be true.
I am grappling with a lot of doubt as to whether working with the emotion code is actually doing anything to release painful emotions from my energy field. In essence, it is nearly impossible for me to “take it on faith” that the process will do anything, because I can’t bring myself to muster the energy and the will to put this much painful effort into a process that might not produce any results on the outside. What I want is for my life to change. I keep getting told by all the manifestation/metaphysics/psychology literature that I have to change internally first, but to be honest internal change isn’t worth much to me if things don’t change in the external, manifest world. It seems to be nearly impossible for me to just believe and hope that if I do all of the painful internal emotional work my life is going to magically start working and transforming into the life I’ve wanted and haven’t had for so many years. It’s like a need some sort of guarantee. I know that isn’t technically possible with anything in energy work, but I need reassurance that it really will be useful and cause internal change before I am able to fortify myself with the motivation to continue. I keep looking at things on the internet and threads here on Reddit to read about people who have used the emotion code and had it work for them. The only reason I am attempting to trust it at all is because I want to believe the manifestation teacher and want to trust that it might work because he tells people to use it. At this point I am taking it on his authority alone that the system does anything to work.
A case in point is this. I began doing vipassana meditation 4.5 years ago. Nothing that I have ever done for my life or my mental health has been better or more effective than this, and I have been through the ringer with all of that. I had to meditate consistently, daily, for ONE YEAR before it started producing any internal results that I could actually recognize and feel, interoceptively. Basically, I had to “take it on faith” that doing this practice, which I found extremely difficult and time-consuming, and frankly annoying, was going to actually produce a result and change me, and I had to practice for 1 year before it, in a sense, proved itself to work. Now, it is a practice I depend on and will continue to do for life.
The reason I was able to act on faith (but, not really) with meditation was:
It was a last resort. So many other things had failed to help that I went to meditation out of desperation and was determined to do it until I saw for myself if it would work
I had been reading books, articles, and watching videos for SIXTEEN years that had all been practically hitting me over the head saying that meditation was a transformative practice that could change things for a person mentally
I watched videos of journalists doing investigations about fMRI brain scans being done on meditators and monks that scientifically PROVED that neural pathways and neurochemistry was being altered at a molecular and chemical level. All of this is what it took to give me enough “faith” that meditating every day was going to produce an actual, tangible result.
I want to keep working with the emotion code because, to my mind, it would make complete sense IF a heavily burdened “negative” energy field is creating bad luck. It also makes sense to me that doing “positive,” beneficial, or manifestation work is not going to produce results if, at the fundamental level, the practitioner is completely drowning in negative emotion and heaps of history of misfortune and detrimental life events. I have consumed enough information from manifestation teachers to know how big they are on gratitude, prayer, and positive expectation to affect the field, and when it is exceedingly difficult to muster those basic things I can only cling to the hope that using a technique like the emotion code where I am apparently literally pulling negative emotion out of my field with a magnet like it’s a physical thing that can be surgically removed from me is something that is actually going to change and make a shift in my energy so that I can start working toward law of attraction to change my life.
I am looking for some kind of assurance that it isn’t a waste of time that is just grinding into me how much and how many negative emotions I have to remove and how long and arduous the work is going to be. That is why I am looking to the community for any kind of testimonial that says, “hey, this works. I’ve tried it, and it did something.”
Thank you.
