What are the 6 areas of Body Code?
The Body Code, developed by Dr. Bradley Nelson, sorts everything a session can look at into six areas: energies, circuits and systems, toxicity, nutrition and lifestyle, misalignments, and pathogens. Rather than guessing where an imbalance sits, a practitioner muscle-tests across all six until the body says “this one, this first” — then releases it gently and repeats. Think of it as a map of the whole person’s energy, with The Emotion Code’s trapped-emotion work as one important neighbourhood on it.
Six areas sounds like a lot, but that breadth is the point: if the answer isn’t an emotion, the map doesn’t dead-end — it points somewhere else. Below is what each area covers in plain language, how a session actually moves through them, and how this work complements The Emotion Code sessions you may already know.
What does each of the six areas cover?
Here’s the whole map at a glance:
| Area | What it covers |
|---|---|
| 1. Energies | Trapped emotions and other disruptive energies — the emotional “baggage” layer where most people start. |
| 2. Circuits & systems | The body’s electrical wiring: organs, glands, meridians and chakras. A circuit can be “off” like a tripped breaker. |
| 3. Toxicity | Substances the body may be struggling to process — heavy metals, chemicals and similar energetic flags. This is energetic testing, not medical diagnosis. |
| 4. Nutrition & lifestyle | What supports or drains you day to day. The method can test foods and nutrients — more than 700 are on the reference list. |
| 5. Misalignments | The energetic balance of bones, nerves and connective tissue. Energy work — not a chiropractic adjustment. |
| 6. Pathogens | Energetic imbalances the method associates with parasites, fungi, bacteria and viruses — a flag worth exploring, never a diagnosis. |
No single session touches all six areas. The testing decides what comes up first, and usually only a handful of items are addressed before the body signals it’s done for the day.
How does a Body Code session test across all six areas?
Every session uses the same muscle-testing backbone as remote energy healing: the subconscious answers yes/no questions, and the practitioner follows the answers rather than a fixed script. In practice:
- Locate — we ask which of the six areas holds the priority imbalance, then narrow down to the specific item.
- Release — that item is released gently, in the order your body is ready for. Nothing is forced.
- Integrate — releases can keep processing for up to 48 hours afterward.
Sessions run 30 minutes, by Zoom or WhatsApp — or fully offline as a proxy session, where you simply go about your day and receive detailed written notes afterward. Those notes show exactly which area and which items came up, so nothing stays a mystery.
How does Body Code complement Emotion Code work?
The Emotion Code is the focused work: finding and releasing trapped emotions, including clearing a Heart Wall — which an estimated 93% of people carry, according to Dr. Bradley Nelson’s work in The Emotion Code. The Body Code uses the same gentle mechanics but widens the lens to the other five areas, so an emotion that keeps “rebuilding” can be looked at alongside the circuits, nutrition or misalignment pieces around it.
Many clients start with emotion-focused work and later book a Body Code session as a deeper sweep. You can see anonymized before/after results — including an allergy impact dropping from 9/10 to 3/10 in a single session — on the case studies page.
Not sure which area your body would start with?
You don’t have to know — the testing does that part. If you’d like a sense of your patterns before booking, request the free Discovery Report, a personalised starting point. Every session is backed by a 7-day money-back guarantee, and the full range of work is on the services page.
Frequently asked questions
Is Body Code the same as The Emotion Code?
No. The Emotion Code focuses on trapped emotions; the Body Code covers those plus five more areas — circuits and systems, toxicity, nutrition and lifestyle, misalignments, and pathogens. Same muscle-testing method, bigger map.
Can a Body Code session be done remotely?
Yes. Sessions run 30 minutes by Zoom or WhatsApp, or fully offline as a proxy session with written notes afterward. The process works the same way worldwide.
Is this medical testing or treatment?
No. The Body Code is a complementary support modality. It doesn’t diagnose, treat or replace care from qualified healthcare providers — and we never ask you to stop any treatment you’re receiving.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends what the testing finds and how much is ready to release. Some clients book a single session; others prefer a series. Your follow-up notes after each session make the next step clear.
