Sometimes we carry old feelings that no longer belong to the present. They appear out of nowhere, make us angry, sad, or frozen. Most of the time these are stored emotions – remnants of old wounds that our body has tucked away so we could keep functioning.

Healing means: bringing them back into the light, honoring them – and letting them go.

All you need is some time, honest attention – and a magnet. This can be a magnetic massage roller, but even a fridge magnet or your fingertip will do.

Stored Emotions & Emotional Wounds

Emotions can sink deep into us – into the belly, the heart, the muscles, maybe even into cellular memory. They remain there until we are ready to look at them.

Behind every stored emotion lies a wound. Maybe you were yelled at as a child, overlooked, or shamed. To survive, you protected yourself – covered the wound, locked away the feeling. Yet in everyday life, a similar moment will trigger the same reaction again.

Step 1: Find the Wound

Feel into yourself. Where does the emotion sit in your body? Which memory, which scene comes up?
Sometimes a muscle test (kinesiology – example below) helps, sometimes simple intuition is enough. Ask questions, listen to the images that arise.

You don’t need to dig up the whole story. It’s enough to name the feeling clearly and sense its place in your body.

Step 2: Release the Feeling

Once you have found the feeling, speak it out loud:
“This anger in my stomach can go now.”

While repeating these words, move the magnet (or your fingertip) from the 1st chakra up over the head and down into the neck. The magnetic field activates your energy body and supports the process.

The point is not to reframe the emotion positively, but to name honestly what is there. Healing means that the feeling had its place – and is no longer needed.

Stored emotions usually release after 10–15 repetitions. Sometimes it takes longer. What matters is staying with it and listening carefully for the shift inside.

Step 3: Touch the Deeper Wound

Beneath the emotion there is almost always a more delicate spot – the real “why.” Perhaps fear, perhaps shame, perhaps loneliness. It doesn’t need words. It is enough to feel what is there and allow it to heal.

This is the most vulnerable moment. Here you need compassion, gentleness, self-love. Be for yourself the good healer, the patient nurse who gently tends this wound.

Say: “This wound can heal now.”
And again, accompany it with the magnet.

Often you will feel the wound really closing – the issue is no longer burning, but only a memory.

Integration

One session can move a lot. Start gently – one emotion per day is enough in the beginning. The body needs time to process. Dreams may become more vivid, sometimes there is even a kind of “processing flu.” Be patient.

Write down your steps. Some feelings release so quickly that afterwards you hardly remember how big they once felt.

In the long run the practice becomes easier, almost like daily yoga for the soul: a ritual that stabilizes you and makes space for what truly matters.

Results

If you stay with it, you will notice:

• Inner stability grows.
• Old triggers lose their power.
• The critical inner voice becomes quieter.
• More calm, more clarity, more freedom of choice.

Healing does not mean becoming a “better person.” It means becoming freer – less caught in old patterns, more open to life as it is now.

Appendix: Kinesiological Self-Test

The simplest and fastest way to learn more about a stored emotion is to ask your body directly. In kinesiology this is done through muscle testing. There are simple self-tests you can learn quickly – a short YouTube video is often enough. With these tests you can get your body to answer yes/no questions.

For some people it works right away, for others less so – sometimes it just depends on mood and day. That’s why it’s best to start with a few calibration tests: a yes/no question, a name test (“My name is Hans-Peter” should show a weak response or “no”), and then a control like: “Can I work with this emotion today?”

Of course, there are other ways to receive answers – a shamanic journey, pendulum work, meditation or inner vision. The muscle test is simply the most practical and fastest approach, which is why I focus on it here.

Example of a Kinesiological Diagnosis

Now it’s about finding out more about the root cause of the problem. Typical guiding questions are:

• When was the original event?
• What happened, what feeling is in it?
• Where do I feel it in my body?

Example:

• Was the event before my 10th birthday? → Yes
• Before my 5th? → No
• Between 5 and 7? → Yes
• Did it happen at home? → No
• At school? → Yes

Often with the first answers images or fragments of memory appear. In this case: a picture of my elementary school teacher. Suddenly it becomes clear: the pain is linked to a situation where I came late through no fault of my own and was scolded in front of everyone.

The feeling is already tangible: guilt, anger, “it wasn’t me,” “everyone laughs,” “this is unfair…” And the link to the present shows itself: my boss blames me for something that wasn’t my fault – I react with disproportionate anger, and my stomach tightens every time I think about work.

So, is it the emotion “anger about being blamed without reason”? → Yes
Do I feel it in my stomach? → Yes

If no spontaneous memories show up, use a systematic approach: with an emotion chart (fear, anger, sadness, …) you can identify the feeling and the body location – this works as well!

About the Method

Let me be clear: this method is not scientific in the strict sense. Memories from elementary school are still plausible, but what lies earlier – under three years old, at birth, or in the womb – is hard to verify. At that age the brain is not yet developed enough to store memories. Yet images or feelings can appear there that are absolutely true for us inside. Some people even go further and encounter traces of “past lives.”

What matters is this: for healing it doesn’t matter whether these memories “objectively” happened. They are inner images that match your feeling – and it is with these images we work. Rational arguments won’t help here. Healing happens when we let the emotions tell their story, honor them, and accept them as an inner truth.

Timeframe

For a diagnosis, ten minutes are usually enough. It is not about digging into the whole story. If you dig too deep, you quickly lose energy and get caught up in drama, guilt, or shame.

If you notice you are losing track: take a deep breath, recall the facts you already gathered, or use a short meditation to clear the mind – then continue.

Sources and Origins of the Method

This technique is a blend of different approaches:

• Kinesiology (muscle tests)
• Emotion Code by Bradley Nelson (video)
• Preside Meditation (the 7-day healing program offers more on emotional wounds)
• EFT (tapping technique) – can be used alongside or instead of the magnet
• Forgiveness practices such as Ho’oponopono
• Compassion and Metta meditation
• Feeding Your Demons – Tsultrim Allione (goes even deeper with very persistent emotional issues)

Distinction: Some therapies or self-help programs rely on the head: if I just understand what is happening, it will stop. But understanding alone is not healing – it is usually just a strategy to cope. As long as it costs energy, it is not truly resolved. That is a coping strategy: avoiding triggers, developing fears, building detours – instead of allowing the original wound to actually heal.

For some people it will work, for others it won’t, sometimes it depends on the day and the mood – so first thing you do are some checks like yes/no, name check, and “can this question be answered by muscle test”.
If it does not work, you need other diagnostic methods to get the same results, like meditation, journeying, scrying,….
Kinesiology is much faster, all other methods I know need 30-60min just for step 1, so I will continue with this.

The idea is to find out more about the nature of your problem. This is the checklist:

• WHEN was the initial event? (childhood, Trauma, past-life,…)?
• WHO was involved (father, mother, relatives,…)?
• WHAT happened, what is the feeling?
• WHERE is it located in my body?

Like the game “Who am I” you circle around your target with yes/no question:

Was the initial event under 10 years? Check: YES.
Was it under 5 years? Check: NO.
Was it between 5 and 7? YES
Was it it at home? NO
Was it at primary school? YES

Usually if you have some facts, then some images show up in your head, and a story starts to evolve: I see images from my first class, and the feeling that causes my pain currently has something to do with it.

Hm. Primary School… images from my first class teacher show up…
Was it something with Mrs. Summers? YES
Was it that day when I was too late and got yelled without reason? YES

Now I have it: a feeling of guilt, anger, it wasn’t me, do not yell at me, all others laughing, go away, this is not fair…
How is it related to my initial problem? My boss is complaining about my work, but it wasn’t my fault, and I get so angry all the time, so I can’t explain it. And I got stomach pain more and more at these work situations.

Is this the emotion: anger about being blamed without reason? YES
Is it located in my stomach: YES (if not check body from head to toe)

Now I have to be honest: this is not a very scientific method. Memories from primary school are easy to validate, but dealing with memories below 3 years is not very reliable, as the brain is not developed enough. Often these are second class memories from stories and photographs. And it gets worse if it happened around birth, like birth trauma or something that happened in the womb. You can even go back to previous lives with this method (if you dare), it will work as well.

It will work – because it is true for your inner self, it does not have to be what really happened. Often these are just the best-matching pictures to your feelings!
If your emotions say you got traumatized by a car accident in your mother’s womb this will not go away by rational arguments. It will go away by emotional healing, and this is what we are doing here. We are dealing with emotions, let them tell their own story and use your own inner pictures for that. We accept them as valid description, as this is an inner truth for ourselves,  and work with them.

Timing: 10 minutes of diagnosis should be enough, there is no need for digging deep into the story. Going too deep makes you loose concentration and get attracted by drama, guilt, shame, etc.
If you get lost somewhere: use a meditation technique for a wandering mind, recapitulate the facts you have already, and continue.

Step 2: Healing the situation

You should have now a good sensation of the emotion. Just reading until here and knowing already what’s the problem – sorry this is not enough. You really need that diagnosis step to get the physical sensation and the original feeling. Usually emotional problems are a big soup of different emotions, this is what makes them so exhausting. Step 1 is there for fishing out that one emotion that can be healed now. So go back to step 1 and find a physical sensation, a story and a location in your body.

Now you need a tool: a magnetic massage roller. Any kind of magnetic item works, even a fridge magnet, but a massage roller is better to use.

You give the emotion a name, and make a statement of release. For example: “this anger in my stomach can go now”

While repeating that statement, you move the magnet from your heart to your neck, in the middle line of your head. You start at below your heart, over your chin, nose, forehead, head, and down the neck. The magnetic field activates the central channel in your body, and this makes the release statement more physical.
If you have experience with affirmations, you know it needs lot of repeating before it works, and when it gets tough you come to blockings. This is what I wrote about “stored emotions” in the concept section: Emotions are stored in the body, so you need to activate your body as well. All body therapy methods are using this effect, but often they are missing the specific focus we got in step 1. Or you need a full blown therapy with diagnosis and healing. This is necessary in some cases, but too much time and effort for everyday issues.

So you are moving now the magnet from your heart over your head down the neck as far as you can reach. Constantly repeating your sentence of release. Sometimes other areas of your body are involved as well, magnetify them as well but return to the center again.
Usually I need 10-15 turns until I feel a release. If it is more than 30 try to get a better sentence.
Sometimes the sentence changes, this is part of the process.
A stronger magnet makes better results, weak magnets need more repeating.

You can also use a negative statement, like “I hate myself”. Really? Yes, if the emotion is “I hate myself”, the statement can be honest as it is, and you might feel accepted for the first time! Negative statements do NOT have to be changed into positive – this is one of the worst misconceptions in spiritual practice. The statement can be something like: “I hate myself, and this is OK, this can go now, I don’t need it any more”. Your release a stored emotion, as you realize it is no longer necessary (maybe it was necessary in the past to protect, to survive, to camouflage). It is just a release, not a overwrite with the positive emotion. So of course, “positive” emotions can become stored emotions as well, think of all the “I have to be happy, successful and loving” bullshit.

Try to find some compassion for yourself in that original situation – and the others as well, if possible. If get stuck here, use a forgiveness prayer (like Ho’oponopono formula) to release the grip of that situation. Healing means: it is gone and long forgotten, often people are dead already but still haunting you. Forgiveness for yourself and others is the best way out of this.
If you are not so much into the forgiveness idea, how about this: I have a goddess with a high competence in justice, and the really hard cases are handed over to her.

Step 3: Healing the underlying wound

Now it is time to find out what wound was below that. In step 2, there were usually external things involved, like a person or a situation, the initial event. But there is something deeper, something very private, something you have to protect at any cost.

It needs a big amount of trust to do this. Most healing methods end at Step 1 or 2, there is a certain amount of release, but the underlying reason is not touched. The best way is to really listen into yourself, with trust, compassion, self-love and the promise of permanent healing just 5 minutes away. Allow yourself to see the unmasked wound, feel the real pain, so it can heal now.
There is no brute force way of doing this – sorry – brute force will always threat and protect the wound again (from feeling it). Imagine the most compassionate nurse, and be that nurse for yourself, and let her see and treat that special wounding.

All you need now is a single moment of let yourself feel that wound, what was under the being yelled situation? An insecurity? A fear? A shame? You don’t need words for it, just let yourself feel that vulnerable, hurted spot. While you feel it, you use the magnetic tool again and say: “This wound can heal now”

Do this about 10-20 times, and you will feel the wound closing. At some point you will know it is done, it is healed and no more vulnerable, the situation is just a story of your life but no longer a reason to get angry and feel blamed.

If you are not sure if it is done, use a kinesiological self check: Is this emotion full healed?

If the wound is to big to heal in one session: do it step by step. You have protected it for over 10 years now, one day more or less won’t count.

How often should I do this?

I started with 1-2 sessions per week, but when I realized it works I did this on a daily base.

After getting used to it, I can release 1-3 emotions in a session. I just recommend some checks between the topics: is it OK to continue with the next one?

Warning:

If you start with this, you might realize a big pile of very tough emotions, and all at the same time. But you can not release more than 3 per day, doing more is exhausting and costs too much concentration. It requires some kind of patience with yourself – usually these emotions were there for more than 10 years, some more days do not matter!

There is also some time for processing required, often together with enhanced dream activity. If you can’t get enough time for processing, there is something called “process flu”: you get ill so you have enough time for processing an important task.

Taking notes on the progress is a good idea, as the release can make you really forget what happened. There are emotions released that were really big blockers, and they are released within a session! But instead of feeling released, you just hear 10 other emotions crying to get healed next. For those days when you don’t see any progress, reading the notes is a good reminder.

In the end I can provide my own statistics, maybe this can give you an idea of the size of this project:
I was working about half a year on this protocol, every day, lets say 1-3 per day, so there is a number of ~300 emotions to be released, before the emergency gets away. These were the most urgent emotions, and the daily working was not an option, it was necessary. After that first half year, I continued until today, but now it is more like yoga to stay emotional healthy, the urgency is not that hard any more.
And from the daily practice, I can do it everywhere, even in public, using my finger with imagination instead of a magnetic tool if necessary.

Before I had already a lot of healing sessions in a lot of methods, I was doing seminars, and all promised healing.
Yes it was healing, but let me refer to the statistics again: A good seminar weekend released about 2-3 emotions. A therapy maybe 1 per session, often there are sessions in between that are just preparing for the next one. The effort of time, money, and strange paradigms is very big, and you have to change methods very often, as they loose effectiveness somehow. Just count how many sessions you can afford doing this way, maybe 20 a year, or 30? It will be still more than 10 years!
If you are doing seminars with complete different topics, you might have noticed already the people with wrong intentions, this is a main reason I think.
The best self-healing was from traditional shamanism. But it had a huge impact on health, as it was exhausting and extending my mental borders, healing was never intended, just a side effect for survival. At least it guided me to find out that compilation of effective techniques, so it was still helpful.

Results were:

• emotional stability (no more freak out, psycho or depression attacks)
• some physical healing (but do not expect too much, this is about emotional healing here, physical healing is a side effect)
• a huge decrease of inner dialogue (especially the self-hurting, criticizing one) – and this is also a increase of everyday awareness

Am I a better person now? No sorry, that is not the way it works. It is more like getting access to more resources of your everyday life, so you can do what you really want. Instead of being driven by old emotional patterns. It just offers more choices!

Background information

As I mentioned already, this is a compliation of different methods. These are the most important of them:

1. Kinesiology: there are huge ressources and complete educations. I just used the muscle test, but maybe you can do the whole healing thing just with kinesiology, I had some good experiences but I never was that deep into it
2. Preside Meditation: The 7 day healing program has a lot more information on emotional wounds and how to heal them
3. Bradley Nelson – Emotion Code: he had the idea with the magnetic tool. Introduction by himself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7S66OSNDiI
4. EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique): can be used as an alternative to the magnetic tool
5. Ho’oponopono formula: an easy but effective forgiveness prayer in 4 sentences: I am sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you.
6. Metta Meditation: meditation on compassion for yourself and others
7. Feeding your demons – Tsultrim Allione
