Trapped emotions can significantly affect your life. These emotions can cause both physical pain and emotional problems. Each trapped emotions must be recognized and released individually. An example of a trapped emotion would be getting lost in a store as a child. You may have been scared, anxious or abandoned. These emotions can influence your adult life and you may have relationship issues because of this experience. Emotional code clearing is very precise. Laura uses several techniques to ask the subconscious about any trapped emotions. Once the emotions have been identified, she asks if there is more information that needs to be learned. After she receives an answer, she rolls a magnet down the spine to release the trapped emotions.
