THE B ODY CODE SYSTEM 2.0 INTRODUCTION

Welcome to The Body Code System , the most com p l ete se lf-study cou rse on natu ral
heal i n g eve r devised , created by Dr. Brad ley N elson . This syste m was developed
ove r decades of cl i n ical and d i stance heal i n g practice , working with real people
suffering from all manner of ai lments . In The Body Code System you will learn what
to do for i m balances i n a l l 6 major areas : pathogens, m i sal i g n ments , n utrition and
l ifestyle, c i rcu its and system s , toxicity, and energ ies.

The Body Code Syste m has been desig ned to be a complete health and we l l ness
g u ide, so that you can feel co nfident in you r knowledge of the body and how it works .
Th is system wi l l h e l p you fi nd and e l i m i n ate the u nderlyi ng causes of i l l ness that
eve n health care profess ionals don 't know about. You 'l l be eq u i pped to prevent
see m i n g ly smal l problems from tu rn i ng i nto someth i ng m uch wo rse and may prevent
d i sease from developing years before it manifests .

The pri mary pu rpose of The Body Code Syste m is as a wel l ness aid and a method
for d i sease preve ntion . This syste m sho u l d never be used for fi rst aid , or as the
primary method of care in cases of se rious d isease , and is not desig ned to take the
place of med ical care .

AB OUT THE AUTHOR

I g rad uated with honors from Life C h i ropractic
College West, in San Lorenzo , Cal iforn ia i n
1 988 . U nti l 2004 , I was i n private practice as a
holistic c h i ropractic physician specializing i n
treating patients from across the U S and
Canada who were suffering from myste rious
and "i ncu rable" d iseases such as C h ronic
Fatig u e Syndrome an d Fibromyalgia.

I 've lectu red i nternationally on the natu ral

heal i ng of chronic i l l ness , and I 'm also one of
the world 's foremost experts i n the fields of
both emotional wel l ness and mag n etic heal i n g .
I 've deve loped t h i s prod uct, The Body Code, a
si mple yet powe rfu l heal i ng method . I ncluded i n The Body Code is The Emotion
Code, which is my i ntrod uctory level sem i nar as we l l as the title of my fi rst book.

I have been cal led a pioneer i n hol i stic health care , as my methods fi nd and re move
the u nderlyi ng i m balances that cause i l l ness and emotional issues. I bel ieve and
know that once you remove the u nderlying i m balances, the body has an i n n ate
powe r to heal itse lf.

The Doctor of the Future

One of my favorite q u otes is from Thomas Edison . H e sai d ,
"The doctor o f t h e fut u re wi l l g ive no med ic i n e , b u t wi l l i nte rest
h i s patients in the care of the h u man frame , in d i et, and i n the
cau se and prevention of d isease . " The Body Code Syste m is
al l about fi n d i n g the causes of d i sease and cari ng fo r the
h u man body in the health i est and most complete way. By
correcting any i m balances , I bel ieve that we can do a m uch
better job at not only preve nti ng d i sease , but also raising the
q ual ity of l ife in ou rselves and others , lead i ng to a more
con nected and healthy world .

UNDERSTANDING ENERGY
To tru ly u nderstand the body and how The Body Code
works , we m u st u nderstand energy. Abso l ute ly everything
i n this u n ive rse is made of noth i ng but p u re , vibrati ng
energy. Different t h i ngs are vibrati ng at different
freq uencies, and this d ifference in vibration is what makes
things appear and feel d iffe rent from each other.

You are a being of p u re energ y ! You r u n iq u e vibration is

specific to you and makes you r body what it i s . You r
vibration also makes you r spi rit who you are ; i t is you r
u n iq u e i nte l l igence .

Vibrati n g energy is the master i n g red i e nt i n the

u n iverse . I nvisible energy is al l aro u nd u s i n the form of
rad io waves, x- ray waves, i nfrared , thought waves and
emotions. You can also th i n k of our u n ive rse as a
"Lego" u n ive rse , made u p of l ittle b u i ld i ng blocks cal led
su batomic particles . These are i nfi n itesimally small
u n its of vibrati n g energy. L i ke Legos, differing
arrangements of these l ittle energ ies w i l l prod uce
ato ms of diffe re nt elements , such as hyd roge n , carbon ,
and titan i u m . These atoms can then b e arranged to
make molecu les l i ke prote i n s , fats , and carbohyd rates .
I n you r body, molecu les then come together to make
D N A , which makes you r cel ls , wh ich make you r body.

Q uantu m physics is the study of su batomic particles. lt was

began by Albert E i nste i n and h i s contem poraries , who
devised i ngenious experiments in an attem pt to d i scove r
more about the natu re of these l ittle energ ies . Qu antu m
research revealed that energ ies behave i n d ifferent ways
depend i ng on what the observer is expecting to see. Many
physicists believe that the only explanation for these
mysterious behaviors is that the energ ies with i n the atom
are themselves intelligent to some smal l degree.

A Dua l Nature
Physical beings (and even items) have a d u al natu re
consisti ng of a physical body and an energy fiel d . Both
aspects of o u r n atu re are made of p u re , i ntel l igent
energy, j u st vibrati n g at d ifferent freq uencies and
certai n ly u n i q u e to us. Th is energy has bee n
researched and prove n real by modern science .

Seeing the Energy Field

The energy fields of people and other l iving t h i ngs are ,
fo r most peo p l e , i nvisi ble to the naked eye . But there is
a way they can be visual ized , than ks to a man named Semyon K i rl ian . I n 1 939 ,
K i rl i an accidental ly d iscove red and developed an amazi ng tech n i q u e , which is now
cal l ed K i rl i an photog raphy. Eve r si nce its d iscovery, there have been reams of
stud ies that have been p u b l ished about K i rl i an
photog raphy and how it shows the h idden energy
field in all l iving t h i n g s .

Here we have a Kirlian photog raph of a l iving leaf

showi ng its energy field . The energy field is strong
and vibrant, shown clearly by the l ig ht com i ng from
the edges . No l ig ht at al l i s used i n K i rl i an
photog raphy; this is a pictu re only of the energy that
is bei ng em itted by the
leaf. A n u mber of years
ago , Russian sci e ntists
made a decl aration that
there exists i n all l iving
th i ngs a plasma energy field . I be l i eve that's exactly
what is shown in these K i rl i an photog raphs. Here i n
this K i rl ian i mage we can see the p l asma energy field
around the fingerti ps of a h u man bei ng . H ealthy,
energetic people e m it a brig hter energy field than
u n h ealthy people. Healers ofte n show brig hter or l arger
energy fields than other peo p l e .

Kirlian Photograph of a Leaf
My very favorite K i rl i an photog raph is one where scientists took a l iving leaf off of a
tree . They cut it i n two and d iscarded the u pper half of the leaf. They then
i m med iately took the bottom half of the leaf i nto the i r laboratory, made a K i rl ian
photog raph , and the res u lting i m age is what we see here . The shape of the leaf is
i ntact.

I bel i eve that this u pper part of the leaf that we see i n g host form is actually an
i m age of the energy field of the leaf. Eve n tho u g h the u pper part of the leaf was
re moved physical ly, the energy field of the leaf remai ned i ntact and complete . I
be l i eve that eve ry l iving th i ng wou ld expe rience the same phenomenon if exposed to
a s i m i lar c i rcumstance ; the energy field wou l d remai n i ntact no matter what
happened to the physical .

This Kirl ian photog raph of the leaf is analogous to the

energy field that is with i n each of us. This energy field
goes by many diffe rent names- the prana, the chi or qi,
the life force, the spirit and the energy body. Cal l it
what you wi l l , I bel i eve al l these names are descri b i n g
t h e s a m e th i n g .

I be l ieve that God created everyth i ng spi ritu ally before

he created anyth i n g physical ly- sort of l i ke an energetic
bl ueprint for the physical body. lt is l i ke a template that
the physical body g rows i nto and fi l l s i nto . I also be l i eve
that the spi rit is what defi nes who we really are ; it is o u r
i nte l l igence . If you go t o a fu neral a n d look at t h e person lyi ng i n t h e casket , it's
obvious that there i s someth i ng that has changed . You can feel the absence of the
i ndividual even tho u g h the body may eve n appear the same . lt's j u st an em pty s h e l l
without t h e l ife force i nside .

There is a theory floati ng aro u nd out there that when measu red on a fine scal e , the
body su pposed ly loses about 21 g rams of we i g ht at the moment of death . Many
people bel ieve this loss of 21 g rams of wei g ht is actually the spi rit leaving the body at
the moment of death . I don 't know this is fact because I 've never placed a dyi ng
person on a fi ne scale , but it is an i nteresting idea. And it does su pport the idea that
the spirit is real . M uch of the work you wi l l be doing with The Body Code is focusi ng
on the i m balances that occu r i n this energy field of the body ; the i ncred i bly i m portant
part that Western med icine pays l ittle or no atte ntion to .

The Energy Body

There are a large n u mber of scientists who have been
studyi ng for many decades to try to gai n the abi l ity to
regene rate h u man tissue . Most of them have come to the
same concl usion : that there is an energy field with i n l iving
th i ng s .

Here is an exam ple : These scientists have d o n e m any

studies on a small ani mal cal led a newt, wh ich has the i ncred i b l e ab i l ity to regenerate
its tai l if it gets p u l led off. Th is is a defensive mechan ism to allow the newt to escape
predators. Late r on when the tai l g rows back, it looks exactly l i ke it looked before .
How does that happe n ? The newt's energy field , I bel ieve ,
contai ns the template fo r the tai l to g row i nto , or the
b l u epri nt that the physical form simply fi l l s i n .

The Spirit Within

Our spi rit animates o u r physical body, in the same way that
a hand an i m ates a g love . At death , o u r spi rit or energy
body moves o n , and o u r body decays because it no longer
has its l ife force . D u ri ng l ife , o u r spi rit and body i nterface in
a profou nd way that we d on't yet u nderstand completely.
Because of this i nterface , when the energy body becomes
i m balanced , the physical body can be seve re ly affected . I m balances in the energy
body m u st be corrected fo r a person to be able to tru ly get wel l .

Messages From Water
One of my favorite books is Messages From Water by
Masaru E moto , who tested water by flash freez i n g d roplets of
water i nto snowflakes - a ve ry u n iq u e way to test water.
Emoto and his team were measuring wate r that was taken
from different reservoi rs , lakes , and streams in Japan . When
they flash froze the wate r, they observed a variety of
fasc i n ating snowflake patterns , depend i ng on where the water
was taken fro m . They also fo u nd that these snowflake
patte rns wou ld vary accord i ng to what the water was ex
posed to before freez i n g . If they played certain types of
music for the water, they wou ld get d iffe re nt ki nds of
crystals. If they played acid rock, or hard rock music for
the wate r, they wou l d n 't get any kind of crystals form i ng at
al l ; there wou ld be blob l i ke formations i n stead . If they
p l ayed classical m usic l i ke Bach overn i g ht, they wou ld get
beautifu l symmetric crystals l i ke the one shown here .
Emoto also taped words to vials o f water and left them
overn i g ht. The next day he and his team created
snowflakes from the d roplets of this wate r, and ag ain fou nd
This water was exposed to
Bach 's "Air on a G String, " that they wou ld get d ramatically different formations
then frozen depend i n g on wh ich words we re taped to the vials of water.

When they taped the word " Truth ", in

Japanese , to the vials of water, they
fou nd that the crystals formed a ve ry
sym metrical , beautifu l and normal
looking snowflake . When they taped the
words "You disgust me, I will kill you " to
the vial of water, they wou ld get a
"crystal" that wou l d look l i ke this
'Truth " "You disgust me, I asym metrical blob pictu red .
will kill you "

Love and Gratitude

The most beautifu l crystal snowflake of all was obtained
when they taped the words Love and Gratitude to a vial of
water and then left it overn i g ht. Look at the sym metry and
i ntricacy of this beautifu l snowflake . Love and g ratitude are
two of the most powerfu l forces that exist i n the u n iverse and
they're a ve ry i m po rtant part of The Body Code Syste m .

CONS CIOUS VS. SUBCONS CIOUS

If you were a bush man l iving i n the Kalahari Desert, and a compute r parach uted
down out of an ai rplane , you wou ld have no idea how to make it work get anyth i ng
prod uctive out of it. O u r bod ies are s i m i lar. We 've had
them for a long time but they came with no man u al !

Lucki ly we know now that the body can act l i ke a l i e

detector. If you 've robbed a ban k, you may b e able t o foo l
people i nto th i n ki ng you 're i n nocent. But if you ' re hooked
up to a l i e detector or a polyg rap h , the man who is ru n n i ng
the mach i n e wi l l be able to see the truth shown clearly i n
t h e g raphs d rawn b y t h e mach i n e . You r body wi l l g ive
measu rable responses when presented with truth and
fal sehood , and these are displayed by the polyg rap h .

The Conscious Mind

Most people th i n k of the conscious m i nd as who they
real ly are . After al l , the conscious m i n d is the part of yo u
that seems to th i n k, make decisions, l i ste n , remember
th i n g s , etc. This is the part of you that wou ld be te l l i n g
t h e l i e about robbing t h e ban k (and th i n ki n g you were
getting away with it ) . The conscious m i nd is i m portant, of
cou rse, but it is really o n ly about 1 0% of you r
i nte l l igence .

The Subconscious Mind

The other 90% of you r i nte l l igence is subconscious. Most people g ive the
s u bco nscious l ittle recog n ition , but it is actually ve ry active . lt's arch ivi ng and
rememberi ng eve ryth i n g ! lt records eve ryth i ng you 've ever done, every face you 've
eve r see n i n a crowd , everyth i ng you 've ever eaten , tasted , touched or smel led , and
the whole h i story of you r health or d i sease. I bel i eve the whole h i story of every cel l i n
you r body, down to the ato m ic leve l , is actually arch ived and stashed away i n that
amazing holog raphic computer system that is the s u bconscious m i n d .

I ntrod uction & Ove rview

 The s u bco nscious m i nd is the part of you that wou ld
provide the truth i n the event you com m itted a cri me
of some sort. lt wou l d prod uce the correct responses
when prese nted with truth and false hood ,
measurable by the polyg raph . Because the
su bconscious m i nd is l i ke a b i n ary com p uter, we can
ask "yes" or "no" q u estions, and get answe rs fro m
t h e body, j u st l i ke using a polyg raph . W e can access
al l the i nformation i n this amazi ng com puter system
by s i m ply u s i n g m u scle testi ng . N ot only can we get
answers to j u st about every q u estion about the body,
I be l i eve there is a sort of l ist in eve ry s i n g l e perso n 's
m i n d . This l i st contai ns al l the t h i ngs that need to be done to bring the body back to
1 00% fu nction , or as close to it as is poss i b l e .

MUS CLE TESTING

We access the s u bco nscious database thro u g h m u scle
testi ng . M u scle testi ng helps us to get answe rs from
the s u bconscious m i nd because the body g ives a
physical response when we tel l the truth or a l i e . The
m u scles of the body are i n stantly weake ned when we
l i e . They stay strong when we tel l the truth . There are
many methods of m u scle testi ng , but we 're fi rst going
to look at the trad itional method to be used when
testing another perso n .

Muscle Testing Others

Always ask the person you wish to m u scle test if they have pai n i n e ither shoulder. If
they do, don 't use that arm as it may agg ravate the i r con d ition . If they have trouble i n
both shou lders o r i f they are too you n g , too weak, o r too i l l to b e tested , yo u should
find a d ifferent way to test the m , which we wi l l d i scuss later.

1 . Ask the s u bject to stand u p and hold one arm out d i rectly i n front of them ,
horizo ntal to the floor. They sho u l d not make a tight fist, but l et the i r hand re mai n
re laxed .
2 . P l ace t h e fi rst two fi n g e rs of yo u r h a n d l i g htly o n t h e i r arm , j u st above t h e
b u m p of the wrist.
3 . P l ace you r free hand on the i r opposite shou lder to su pport the m .
4 . Tel l the s u bject, " I 'm g o i n g to have you make a statement, and then I 'm g o i n g to

I ntrod uction & Overview

press down on you r arm . I want you to resist me gently by hold i ng you r arm rig ht
where it i s ; try to preve nt me from p u s h i ng you r arm down . "
5 . H ave the s u bject state the i r name. If the s u bject's name is Ki m , for exam p l e , h e o r
s h e wou ld say, "My name is Ki m . "
6 . Perform the m u scle test by smoothly and stead i ly i ncreasing the pressu re
downward on the s u bject's arm , going from no pressu re to a fai rly fi rm pressu re
with i n about 3 seconds.
7. The shou lder j o i nt should stay 'locked ' against you r fi rm downward press u re , and
sho u l d not g i ve way.
8 . N ow repeat the test, but have the subject make a state ment that is obviously false
by using a name that is not the i r own . I m mediately perfo rm the m u scle test agai n ,
and you shou ld notice the arm i s weaker, si nce the state ment j u st made is
i ncong ruent with truth , and the s u bject's s u bco nscious m i nd knows it.
Yo u have j u st performed what we cal l a baseline test.

Proper Finger Placement

Someth i ng very i m portant i n m u scle testing is
finger placement. You ' l l notice that eve ryone has a
bony b u m p on the wrist, which is part of the u l na
bon e . Note i n the pict u re that the teste r's two
fingers have come down the arm rig ht u p to that
b u m p , but not ove r it. If yo u go ove r the b u m p , you
wi l l be on the d e l i cate bones of the wrist. Be i n g on
the wrist bones makes it very d ifficu lt to get a
proper muscle test , because every time you press
down on those ti ny bones, the brai n wi l l
automatical ly weake n t h e arm m u scles and the
arm wi l l go down . Th i s is because the brai n does
not want to al low those bones in the wrist to be
i nj u red (wh ich can happen if too m uch pressu re is
placed on the del icate wrist bones) . You do want
to be as far down on the arm as you can , for
proper leverag e , but not ove r the b u m p .

Tips for Testing Others

We go ove r m u scle testing i n more deta i l i n The Body Code Semi nar DVDs, but there
are a couple of other very i m portant th i ngs to keep i n m i nd when m u scle testing
which I wi l l mention now :
• Use a smoothly i ncreasing hyd rau l i c type of pressu re that starts from zero and
smoothly i ncreases. Yo u want to push slowly and gently, g iving the m u scles

 time to adj ust. Don 't bou nce ! As soon as you have you r answer and you 're clear
that the i r arm i s either staying strong or weake n i n g , then you should let go. This
sho u l d take about 3 seconds at most.
•
Have the s u bject resist gently.
•
Use o n ly the m i n i m u m amou nt of pressu re needed . Th i n k finesse , not force .
M u scle testi ng is about "sensi ng" the answer.
•
If any m u scle testing method h u rts , stop and try anothe r method .
•
Keep yo u r fingers i n the correct position ; don 't go ove r the wrist b u m p .
•
You can experiment with various arm positions to see what works best for you
and whomever you are worki ng o n . Some other options are for the s u bject to
hold their arm o ut to the side rather than straig ht out i n front of the m , or with the
el bow bent at a 90 degree ang le with the forearm parallel to the floor (shown i n
the E l bow Test method ) .

Reasons You Might Be Untesta ble

There are some reasons why yo u m i g ht not be testable. If you 're dehyd rated , you 'l l
want t o stop and d ri n k a g l ass o f pu rified water, then try ag ain i n a few m i n utes . I f
you 're the person doing t h e testing and you 're dehyd rated , you may have a hard ti me
doing the test.

Usi ng an i nco rrect amo u nt of force can also i nterfe re with

you r m u scle testing answers . P u s h i n g too hard , push i ng too
soft, resisti ng with too much or not enough force wi l l confuse
th i ng s , so make s u re that you find a common g ro u nd with
whomeve r you 're working with . Don 't be afraid to ask them to
i ncrease or decrease thei r resistance if needed . You can say
something l i ke , "Meet my pressu re" and that should h e l p . A
s u rfacing trapped emotion or other i m balance can make
someone te mporari ly u ntestabl e . If you 're worki ng on
someone and a trapped
emotion is sudde n ly wel l i ng
u p i n them and com i ng to the su rface to be released ,
you may not be able to get a clear m u scle test . Th is
is j u st one reason why knowi ng a method of self­
testing w i l l come in handy.

If you ' re worki ng on someone who has a neck

m i sal i g n ment, that wi l l make it d ifficu lt to test as we l l .
They may need to see a chi ropractor. Yo u can also
try rol l i ng a mag n et down the s p i n e with the i ntention
of releas i n g or correcting whatever i m balance m ay

be present i n the neck, and ofte nti mes that wi l l i m med iate ly make them testabl e .
We ' l l go ove r correcting structural m i sal i g n m e nts more later o n .

Self-Testing
Self-testing is a conve n i e nt and s i m p le way to get answe rs from you r own body. The
various methods of self m u scle-testing that we present here can be used to work on
you rself and get answers from you r own body, or they can be used as a way for you
to get answers about what another person need s .
Self-testing is especial ly usefu l if t h e su bject is
u ntestabl e , or if you 're worki ng alone and acting as
proxy or su rrogate . Self-testing does req u i re l ittle bit
of extra practice , but it is defi n ite ly we l l worth it. S i nce
some people learn some of these methods more
easi ly, at least i n itially, we ' l l be provid i ng a n u mber of
diffe rent methods i n these material s .

T h e fi rst method that w e teach i n The Emotion Code

is cal led the sway test. The sway test is where the
body wi l l respond by swaying forward toward truth ,
positivity, or cong ruency. Or it wi l l sway backward ,
away from negativity, falsehood , or i ncon g ruency.
Th is works because the h u man body is an organism
l i ke any other.

In fact, you know very wel l that a plant wi l l nat u rally g row toward a l i g ht sou rce . But
did you know that a p!ant wi l l also natu ral ly g row toward a speaker that is playing
sooth i ng l u l labies or classical music? In fact, stud ies show that if a speaker b l ari ng
harsh music is pl aced i n front of plant, it wi l l actually g row away from the speaker,
and even the roots wi l l bend away from the speake r. The h u man body has this
capacity b u i lt rig ht i nto it as we l l . lt wi l l sway forward towards truth , positivity, or
con g ruency , and it wi l l sway backwards away from negativity, falsehood , or
i ncong ruency.

The Sway Test

T o perform t h e Sway Test, si mply stand i n a very re laxed way. lt's a good i d e a to
tu rn off any music or TV as they can h ave an i m balancing effect on you and can
i nte rfere with the testi n g . D rop you r arms to you r sides and completely relax . The fi rst
th i n g you 'l l notice w h i l e you 're stan d i ng there is that there is a l ittle bit of movement
going on al l the ti m e . The body tends to sway a l ittle bit fo rward and a l ittle bit
backward and someti mes it m i g ht sway a l ittle to the side , left to right. That is si mply

I ntrod uction & Ove rview

the osci l l ation that takes place when the body is try i n g to mai ntai n a perfect upright
postu re . The postu ral m u scles are conti n uously working to keep the body stan d i ng
u p ri g ht and that's normal .

Now let's get a base l i ne test. Th i n k about war for a moment.

Hold that thoug ht i n you r m i nd wh i l e you 're stand i ng there i n a
very rel axed way. If you th i n k about al l the people who have
d i ed , al l the fam i l ies that h ave been torn apart, all the tragedy, al l
the people who have been cri ppled and mai med , all the
destruction of property and l ife and l i m b . Th i n k about al l the
sorrow and ang u ish that's been happe n i ng o n earth si nce the
beg i n n i ng . You should notice that you r body wi l l try to reco i l
away from t h i s tho u g ht that you 've p u t o u t i n front o f you . l t wi l l
sway backwards away from t h e tho u g ht o f war, because that
tho u g ht is so negative .

Let's try another thoug ht now. Th i n k about u ncond itional love .

I mag i n e that you are a bei ng of u ncond itional love , that you r
heart i s a generator of u ncond itional love . That beautifu l energy
flows out of you r heart and fi l l s the i m mensity of space . I mag i n e
that you love everyone u ncond itionally no matter w h o they are .
I mag i n e what it wou ld be l i ke to be loved and accepted
u nconditionally by others i n retu rn . As you hold the tho u g ht of
u ncond itional love i n you r m i n d , what you wi l l find is that you r
body w i l l want to sway forward towards the positivity, the
con g ru ency and the beauty of that tho u g ht of u nconditional love .

The sway test can be used for any of the q uestions that you want to ask the body.
You can ask the body for exam ple "Do I have a trapped emotion?" and the body w i l l
either sway forward for yes, a n d backward for no. You can ask t h e body other
q uestions and get answers i n that same way. The sway test is a very usefu l method
of testing and it works for j u st about anyo n e . lt doesn 't take m uch practice e ither.

Now we will d iscuss some other methods of self-testing . These other methods are
conven ient to use but they do take some practice to m aster. I recom mend for most
people to practice u s i ng the i r favorite method for 1 00 ti mes a d ay for about 2 weeks
or so . That's s i m ply saying "yes" and "no" 1 00 ti mes a day for 2 weeks . That should
o n ly be a few m i n utes of practice per day and i s we l l worth the effort !

Ho le-in- One Method

To perform t h e Hole-in-One method , you s i m ply make
a ri ng with you r th u m b and fi rst finger, as pictu red .
Then you take the th u m b and the fi rst two fingers of
you r other hand and i n sert those fingers i nto the ri n g .
On a m uscle test, you ' l l want to try t o o p e n t h e ri ng with
you r other hand by p u l l i ng apart you r th u m b and two
fingers . On "yes", or a congruent statement, the ri ng
should stay closed . For "no", or an i ncon g ruent
statement, the ri ng should ope n . You can also use
other fingers to perform this test if you want to .

Hand So lo Method
To perform t h e Hand Solo method , you choose one
fi nger to be the resi stance finger, and an adjacent
finger to push down on the resistance finger- we ' l l cal l
this the pressu re finger. I n this pictu re , the fi rst finger is
the resistance fi nger and the middle finger is the
pressu re finger. You can place the pressu re finger
either arched or rig ht on top of the resistance fi nger.
Once you 're i n place , s i m ply make you r statement and
then apply pressu re on the resistance finger. The
resistance finger sho u l d stay strong fo r "yes", and on
"no" the finger should weake n . lt should stay strong
when you test a cong ruent, true statement as wel l , j u st l i ke any other muscle testi ng
method . And of cou rse , when you test a statement that's i ncong ru ent or u ntru e , that
finger should weaken and go down .

Ring-in-Ring Method
F o r t h e Ring-in -Ring method , s i m p ly take one h a n d and
make a ri ng with you r t h u m b and fi rst finger (you cou ld
real ly use any finger but I l i ke the fi rst finger best) . Then
take you r other hand and m ake another ri ng throug h the
fi rst ri ng , as pictu red . To test, make you r statement or
q u estion , and try to p u l l those rings apart. For yes , truth ,
con g ruency and positivity the ri ng (or both rings) sho u ld
stay closed . If you say no, or make a statement that is
u ntru e , one or both of the ri ngs shou ld weaken and you
sho u l d be able to p u l l you r hands apart.

Elbow Test Method
T o perform t h e Elbow Test method , b r i n g t h e el bow i nto the
side with you r arm bent at a 90 degree ang le out in front of
you . Take two fingers from the other hand and p l ace them on
the top of the arm (right before the speed bump bone) . Then
you s i m ply press down . On "yes" , the fo rearm wi l l stay j u st
about horizontal to the floor, and on "no", you r arm should
weaken and d ro p . Th is i s a ve ry simple method and its
advantage is that you r fingers don 't get sore because the
m u scle you 're testing i s the bicep m uscle- a ve ry large
muscle that is easy to test a l l day long .

There are a few th i ngs that you should note about this
method :
• Another variation of the e l bow test is to bend you r arm at
a sharper ang l e , about 45 deg rees or so .
• Make s u re not to let you r fingers bend back very m uch
when you 're applyi ng pressu re to the arm , as th i s can
cause d iscomfort in the fingers befo re long .

I n fact, the amou nt of resistance fo rce used i n this test i s s i m ply the amou nt of
muscle strength it takes to keep the fo rearm horizontal , no more .

Tips for Self-Testing

Keep the pressu re l i g ht and resist only as m uch as you abso l utely need to .
Remember that the harder you resist, the harder you 're going to have to press down
to overcome that resistance , so you 're really working ag ai nst you rse lf. Yo u ' l l also
probably experience d iscomfort sooner if you resist very hard . If it h u rts , that means
you 're using too m uch pressu re , so stop, and try another method u s i ng less
pressu re . The goal is not to wear you rself out or h u rt you rself, but to find you r pe rfect
strength and resistance settings to make it easy.

I n yo u r house, you may have a l i g ht switch with a d i m mer

on it. In the h u man body, eve ry m uscle has a sort of
d i mmer switch , and you r bra i n controls how strong or weak
a m u scle is, or how hard it resists . What you can do with
any of these testing methods is s i m p ly play aro u nd with the
d i m m er switch on the resi stance m u scles. J ust mental ly
d i al in the rig ht m u scle stre ngth setting so that when you
say "yes", the m u scle stays strong . Then at that same

I ntrod uction & Ove rview

strength setting, when you say "no", you do get weakness. The more you do this,
you'll find that you can use less and less pressure and get answers. lt does take a
little bit of practice to get it right, but it's definitely worth doing and staying with it. And
remember to do a baseline test like a "yes" and "no" test each time you start testing
yourself or someone else; this is to make sure you're testable.

Not all methods are for everyone. Find the one or two methods you like and practice
them until you are proficient. Even if you don't use self-testing very often, learn it for
a backup method. lt's always a good idea to always have a back up method, just in
case someone becomes untestable or if you are working on your own.

Thoughts that you might be holding in your mind can affect the outcome of muscle
testing, so it is important to not have expectations that might influence your testing.
Just have a heart full of love for the person you are testing, and be okay with any
answer that you might receive.

Did you know you can muscle test your food? Your
subconscious mind knows if certain foods are good or bad
for you. Use the Body Code regularly, and get in the habit of
tapping into this incredible source of information that lies
within you, your subconscious mind. Remember also, the
more imbalances you remove, the better your muscle testing
will become, and the clearer your muscle-testing answers
will be.

A Gift from God

Muscle testing is a gift from God, to allow us to help each other. lt is not to be used to
test for the winning lotto numbers, it is not to be used to ask if you should take that
job, etc. Asking about anything unrelated to health probably won't work anyway, in
my experience. You can ask about the present, but do not try to see the future, as
muscle testing is not for that purpose and the results would be unreliable at best.
This kind of testing is for the present, and applies to what is happening now, in the
present, as well as determining trapped emotions from the past.

Do Not Use Muscle Testing to Make Big Decisions!

You will have to trust me on this one. Speaking from experience, it has become clear
to me that testing is a gift from God that has a specific purpose, but that purpose is
limited. You can muscle test every decision you make, but you won't get anything but
neurotic, in my opinion. Use muscle testing to find trapped emotions and to help
yourself and others to get and stay physically well and leave it at that.

Introduction & Overview

Don 't be too proud to ask God for h e l p . He already knows the answe rs yo u are
looki ng for, and he wants to h e l p you , but you have to ask. I am rem i nded of the
famous pai nti ng of C h rist, where he is stan d i n g at the front door of a home, knocki ng .
The fu nny thi ng i s , the front door has no doorknob on the outside . H e won 't open the
door. Yo u have to do it. And be l ieve me when I te l l yo u that I utter a s i lent prayer
every s i n g l e time I test anyo n e , and I ask God to h e l p m e , eve ry s i n g l e time, and H e
always d o e s . Try it ! M i racles come w h e n w e get out o f o u r own way a n d allow that
H ig her Power to work thro u g h u s . If you r ego i s so big that you th i n k you don 't need
any h e l p from above , good l uck to you , because on you r own , you r power is ve ry
l i m ited . But I pro m i se you , if you set you r ego asi d e, and d raw u pon the powe rs of
heave n to h e l p yo u , yo u wi l l see m i racles occu r !

SURRO GATE TESTING

Su rrogate testing is another way to m u scle test if the s u bject (the person or an i mal
you want to test) is present in the roo m , but is u nable to be tested fo r some reason .
Maybe they are i n a coma, maybe they have shoulder problems, maybe they are a
smal l c h i l d or an ani mal , maybe they're u ntestable because of dehyd ratio n , a neck
m i sal i g n m e nt, or maybe a s u rfaci ng trapped emotion h as made testing d ifficu lt. Fo r
any of these situations, you can use su rrogate testing . A l l yo u need is a th i rd person
to "plug in" as the su rrog ate , almost l i ke an extension cord . Before beg i n n i n g , you ' l l
want t o make s u re that t h e su rrogate is testabl e , s o make s u re t o do a base l i ne test
by havi ng them say something true or positive
such as , "Yes" or " U p i s u p . " Make s u re you
get a strong m u scle response . Then have
them say so meth i ng negative or i ncon g ruent,
such as, "No" or "Up is down", and make s u re
you get a weak m uscle response. Then have
the s u rrogate and the s u bject hold h ands and
you 're ready to beg i n testi ng .

M u scle testing c h i l d ren is d ifficu lt u nti l a ch i ld

is about 8 or 9 years old , so for testing kids
you 'l l want to use a su rrogate . This is my

and be i ng tested by Jean .

I ntrod uction & Overview

 [TH E BODY CODE 2.0] m

I n this pictu re we have my

wife , Jean , on the far left
acting as the teste r. The
su rrogate in the middle is
my daughter, N atal i e , and
the s u bject on the far rig ht
is my daug hter, Kristi . By
plugg i ng the su rrogate
person , N atal i e , i nto the
m i d d l e , Jean should be able
to test Kristi , the s u bject
without any tro u b l e . Th is
works j u st l i ke an extension
cord because the electrical changes that take place in Kristi 's body l iteral ly flow
th ro u g h N atal i e , and N atal i e 's arm wi l l stay strong or weaken depend i ng on the
q u estions bei n g asked . Jean wou l d d i rect her q u estions to Kristi , the s u bject, and
then test N ata l i e 's arm to get the answer. Then Jean wou ld release or correct
whatever comes u p on Kristi 's body.

Remember that in su rrogate testing , q u estions are d i rected toward the subject, but
testing is actually done on the su rrogate perso n . I m balances are fou n d by testing the
su rrogate , but corrections are made on the s u bject. H owever, you can also make
corrections on the su rrogate if that is a better option at the moment. For exam p l e , I
have re leased trapped emotions and other i m balances on a su rrogate person when
the s u bject, who happened to be my father, was i n a hospital bed su rrou nded by
tu bes and w i res, afte r having a brain ane u rysm .

One of the g reat thi ngs about su rrogate testi ng is that the answers you get wi l l often
be am p l ified thro u g h the su rrogate . lt's al most as if the
su rrogate boosts the sig nal com i ng out of the subject, so
you r answe rs wi l l be m uch clearer than they wou l d have
been otherwise . lt's i m po rtant to note that it is not necessary
to physical ly touch the s u bject. If the su rrog ate is with i n 6
feet of the s u bject, you should have no problem testing
accu rately. You r body wi l l detect the el ectrical changes that
take place i n the s u bjects ' body, and these changes wi l l
show u p i n you r m uscle testing as strength or weakness .

If yo u 're worki ng alone with a s u bject who isn 't testabl e , and you d o n 't have a
su rrog ate person nearby, you can act as su rrogate you rself and use self-testing ! J u st
ask the q u estions of the subject's body, test on you rself using any self-testing

method , and then rel ease or correct whateve r comes u p on the s u bject's body, or on
you r own body, if needed .

PROXY TESTING
Proxy testing is what we use for heal i ng at a d i stance ,
and it is absol ute ly i nd i spensab l e . lt enables you to
test someo n e , and re lease or correct any i m balances
they have , al l fro m a d i stance . lt is s i m i lar to su rrog ate
testing except that the s u bject i s not physical ly
present. The person who stands in for the s u bject is
cal l ed the proxy, and , i n effect, the i r body wi l l set aside
its own needs te mporari ly to help the s u bject. Once
the con nection is mad e , the proxy person is the
s u bject for all practical pu rposes.

Yo u can th i n k of proxy testing as be i ng s i m i l ar to a

wireless con nection . Althou g h a lot of proxy testing by
o u r practitioners is done over the phone , it can also be
done via emai l , where people are not actually on the phone havi ng a conve rsation at
the time of the treatment.

In the same way that computer screen-shari ng

can be used to edit or delete i nfo rmation on
another computer anywhe re in the worl d ,
i m balances that exist i n t h e su bjects body can
be accessed by the proxy and can be
re leased , no matter where the s u bject and
proxy may be, and no matte r how far apart
they may be.

M u scle testing and re leasing or correcting any

i m balances is performed on the proxy pe rso n ,
but the person who is receiving the benefit i s
the s u bject, whe reve r they may be . D i stance
has no beari ng on how wel l this works . lt's
really q u ite amaz i ng !

I n proxy testi n g , the proxy acts i n place of, and on behalf of the s u bject. The work
performed on the proxy happens s i m u ltaneously to the s u bject, no matter the
d i stance . Remember that perm ission is always necessary !

 [TH E BODY C O D E 2.0] Ill

This pictu re shows the s u bject

on the far left, who happens to
be my son Rhett, and on the
rig ht are the proxy , N atal i e ,
a n d t h e teste r, J ean . I mag i n e
that Rhett is i n Braz i l and
N atal ie and J ean , pictu red on
the rig ht, are in the U S . Rhett
has te lephoned N atal ie and
Jean aski ng fo r help with a
headache. Here is how
N atalie and Jean can co n nect
u p with Rhett to help h i m with
h i s headache.

Establishing a Connection
To establish a con nection with the s u bject, have the person who wi l l act as the proxy
repeat the fol lowi ng : "My name is (su bject's name) . " I n this particu lar case , N atal i e ,
w h o wou l d b e acting a s proxy, wou ld say, " M y n a m e is Rhett." At fi rst this w i l l
probably test weak because , o f cou rse , her n a m e is not Rhett. But if she conti n ues to
repeat this statement, it wi l l eventual ly test strong as soon as that energetic
con nection is mad e . In other words, when she con nects up with Rhett she wi l l test
strong if she says , "My name is Rhett. " If at that poi nt she says , "My name is N atal i e , "
s h e wi l l actually test weak. Why? Because h e r body w i l l set aside its own needs to
stand i n and act as proxy for Rhett, so Jean can fig u re out what is going on with h i m
and h e l p h i m with h i s headache. At this poi nt, everything that Jean fi nds on N atal ie
wi l l really be for Rhett's benefit. Any corrections that are mad e , anyth i ng that's
re leased or corrected on N atal i e 's body wi l l actually end up man ifesting in Rhett's
body. So here , Jean is actually working on Rhett, th ro u g h Natal i e 's body.

Breaking the Connection

You always want to remember to break the co nnection when you 're done. To break
the co n nection have the Proxy repeat, "My name is ," u nt i l a strong test is
obtai ned when they state the i r own name. In this particu lar exam p l e , N atalie wou ld
sim ply say, "My name is N atal i e . " She wou ld conti n u e to repeat that u ntil she tests
strong once ag ai n . I n itial ly, the fi rst time she says it she m i g ht test weak because she
is sti l l acting as proxy fo r Rhett. But if she conti n u es to repeat that, pretty q u ickly it
wi l l test strong again and the connection w i l l be broke n .

I ntrod uction & Ove rview

Proxy Testing While Alone
J u st l i ke in su rrogate testi ng , you can also act as the proxy when yo u 're worki ng by
you rself, u s i ng self-testing . Anyth i ng yo u test, correct or release wi l l be tested on
you r body, but for the benefit of the s u bject. P roxy testing is an amaz i n g too l , and it's
so conven ient that the abil ity to do it is b u i lt rig ht i n . Th is is what you can do if you
want to work with clients over the phone, or if someone cal ls you and asks for h e l p
with someth i ng .

H e re i s my method for establ ish i ng a proxy connection with a s u bject when worki ng
alone :
• Start out by saying a silent praye r to God , aski ng for H i s help and than king h i m
fo r m y i m pe n d i ng success .
• Then ask, "Do I have a con n ection to this person ?" If I am on the phone with
you , fo r exam ple, I w i l l ask, "Do I have a con n ection with you ? Can I act as
proxy for you ?" If I 'm doing a session where I 'm actually going to be send i ng the
resu lts to the s u bject, let's say his name is J i m , I m i g ht say, "Do I have a
connection with J i m ? Can I act as proxy fo r J i m ?" As soon as those q u estions
both test strong , then I 'm con nected .
• Any i m balances that I find on J i m , I wou l d correct on myself. If I fi nd a trapped
emotion that needs to be released , I wou l d si mply ro l l fro m my fo rehead , ove r
the top of my head , to the back of my neck 3 times. That re leases the energy of
the trapped e motion on J i m at the same moment.
• When I 'm done, I 'l l b reak the con nection by saying , "My name is Brad" u ntil the
test is strong .

The basic ru les of th u m b fo r u s i ng

su rrogate testing or proxy testing
are as fol lows . If you 're with i n 6
feet of the s u bject and he or she is

WORKING WITH ANIMAL S

You can eas i ly wo rk with ani mals using The Body Code. Getting i nformation fro m an
ani mal 's body is j u st as easy as getting the i nfo from a h u man bei ng , and there isn 't
m uch d iffere nce .

For exam p le , we use the same chart of emotions to

work on ani mals because they experience the same
range of emotions that h u mans do. A n i mals have the
same org ans that people have , i n most cases. We
can use the same Body Code M i nd Maps, and the
same flowcharts as wel l . Althoug h some th i ngs may
be a bit d iffere nt, the su bconscious m i nd of the
an i mal wi l l g u ide you to the closest h u man analog it
can , maki ng The Body Code a very effective tool to
use with ani mals as wel l as h u man be i ng s .

You can use su rrog ate testing if t h e an i mal i s there ,

a n d yo u can s i m ply tal k t o t h e ani mal j u st l i ke you
wou ld tal k to a perso n . Eve n if an an i mal can 't speak, its body u nderstands what you
say on an energetic leve l and can g ive you the answe rs j u st as eas i ly as a h u man . If
the an i mal is not present, yo u can use proxy testi ng . You can either act as proxy
you rself, or have another person act as proxy for the ani mal . Then you ' l l want to
focus on d i recting you r q u estions to the an i mal thro u g h whoever is acting as proxy.

Be gentle and carefu l when worki ng with an an i mal . R u n the

mag n et down the govern i ng merid i an on its back (or the
proxy's back) to re lease an emotio n , j u st l i ke you wou ld with
a perso n . And remember that yo u always want to get
perm ission from the owner before working on an an i m al .

Thou g h we use the same tech n i q u e that you are

accusto med to i n wo rki ng with people, keep i n m i nd that if
you find some kind of n utritional need , the dosage wi l l
probably fl uctuate proportional ly to reflect the an i mal 's size.
They may need a h i g her dosage if they're much bigger, l i ke
a horse fo r example. If it's a dog or a cat, it may need a smal l e r dose .

There are many wonderfu l stories i ncl uded i n The Emotion Code about the work that
has been done with ani mals, and the work I d i d with an i mals when I was i n a brick
and mortar practice . S i nce then I have worked with an i mals by proxy, and that works
j u st as we l l as bei n g there in perso n . If you haven 't al ready read The Emotion Code, I
wou l d u rge you to read some of those stories i n the chapter about an i mals.

I ntrod uction & Overview

Worki ng with an i m als is a lot of fu n . They tend to respond very rapidly and positively
to this kind of work, and because they're an i mals, we know it isn 't j u st the placebo
effect. I 've fou nd that 9 ti mes out of 1 0 , the problems that animals experience are
actually caused by trapped emotions that they have , whether the problem is
emotional or physical in natu re . Keep that in m i nd w h i l e working with an i m als, as
they are such sensitive creatu res.

THE PRESENT DILEMMA

You 've learned how the health of the energy body i s
crucial t o t h e health o f you r physical body. Ancient
approaches to heal i n g focus on this aspect of you r
make u p , but it's be i ng completely ove rlooked by western
med i c i n e . This is u nfortunate because the price we 're
payi ng for this ignorance is h i g h . Let's take a look now at
the present d i lemma that we are i n - weste rn med i c i n e
a n d sickness care .

The trad itional approach to medici ne was real ly born on

the battlefield in the Civi l War and i n the World Wars .
And it was developed aro u nd a concept I l i ke to cal l
heroic measures. That means that if you 're a soldier and
a can non bal l comes bo u ncing along on the battl efi eld
and takes off you r leg , you better hope you r docto r
performs heroic measu res on yo u . If he does , hopefu l ly h e ' l l be able to save you r l ife ,
because you ce rtai n ly need heroic measu res performed at that poi nt. Of cou rse ,
there have been many docto rs on the battlefields and i n the operating rooms who
have performed heroic feats and l ife-saving s u rgeries, and there are ce rtai nly ti mes
when heroic measu res are absol ute ly appropriate .

The problem tho u g h is that focusing on med icine and

heal i ng in this way h as created a situation where we are
prone to wait u ntil there is a crisis that eru pts before we do
anyt h i n g about it. As a resu lt, modern western medici ne
focuses on exte rnal causes of d i sease , d ramatic
i ntervention and on sym ptom suppressio n .

Most people have take n medication at o n e poi nt i n the i r l ife to su ppress some ki nd of
sympto m . That can be very appropriate at times. The problem is, at least i n the west,
we te nd to re ly on this method for taki ng care of o u rselves i n stead of preventi ng
problems. lt's ve ry expensive and has some big d rawbacks.

Chasing Symptoms
Th is cartoon i l l u strates an idea cal led "chasing sym ptoms . " Th is is a very i neffective
way to take care of the body. Because this happens so freq u e ntly, it's not u n usual for
people, especially those over 60 years o l d , to be on a doze n d iffe rent med icatio n s .
S o m e o f those medications are s i m p ly t o cou nteract s i d e effects o f other d rugs they

The end resu lt of is that Susie feels lousy, but she fee ls l ucky because her i ns u rance
paid for 90% of al l these d rugs, and isn 't that the i m po rtant th i n g ? I m portant to who?
it's i m portant to the pharmaceutical com pan ies, of cou rse . This kind of th i n g happens
a l l the ti m e , but it is not a good way to take care of the h u man body.

Risky and Expensive

Med ical errors and prescription drug misuse or o verdose are
among the lead i ng causes of death in the U n ited States .
Many o f t h e s u rgeries performed are d rastic and
u n necessary. In the U n ited States , we spend the h i g h est
amo u nt of money per capita on healthcare than any othe r
cou ntry. I n 20 1 0 , w e spent a n i ncred i b l e 2 . 6 tri l l io n dollars on
health care . What a l l this mo ney is buying us is not good
health , but a n u mber 1 ran king in degenerative d i sease . I n
other words, there are more sick people per capita i n the
U n ited States than any other co u ntry on the face of the
earth , even thoug h we 're th rowi ng more money at this
problem than any other cou ntry.

Medica l Freedom
Dr. Benjam i n Rush , who was one of the signers of the U n ited States Declaration of
I ndependence , said , " U n less we put med ical freedom i nto the constitutio n , the time
wi l l come when med icine w i l l org an ize itself i nto an
u ndercove r d i ctators h i p to restrict the art of heal i ng to one
class of men and com panies, and deny equal privi leges to
others , and wi l l constitute the Basti l l e of med ical science . "
U nfortunately, h i s pred iction has come to pass and this i s
exactly where we are with western medicine rig ht now.

The Food and Drug Adm i n i stration of the U n ited States

does the bidd i n g of the pharmaceutical com panies. Any
alternative modal ity that th reatens the estab l ished order is

I ntrod uction & Overview

 [TH E BODY CO D E 2.0] "

crushed , if poss i b l e . The problem with this is that, as you can see , Weste rn med icine
does not always know what the best th i n g is for the body, and i n deed , often makes
th i ngs worse than it wou ld have been without it.

Medica l Ideas Change

Med icine and what is co nsidered good for the body,
changes over t i m e . Fo r a long t i m e , blood letti ng was
a ve ry popular way to take care of people and try to
h e l p them regain the i r health . The log ic was that yo u
had too m uch blood or that you r b lood was bad , and
if they let some of you r b lood out that wo u ld h e l p yo u .
Of cou rse , people ofte n s u rvived this so they fig u red
that it worked .

When I was yo u n g , most of my friends had

ton s i l lectomies, a s u rgery where the ton s i l s are
re moved from the th roat. I 've also known many
people who have had appendecto m i es as wel l ,
where the appendix i s removed . Both of those we re
considered good s u rgeries i n the past. Why?
Because the s u rgeries weren 't too d ifficu lt to do and there was good money in it.
These o rgans also seemed to be expendab l e , not serving any real pu rpose in the
body, and cou ld get i nfected or i rritated , causing d i sco mfort.

Now we know that the tonsils form part of the ring of Waldeyer, wh ich is part of the
body's fi rst l i n e of defense ag ainst cance r, be i ng part of the i m m u ne syste m . lt was
recently d iscovered that the append ix also has an i m portant i m m u n e function . The
normal i ntesti nal flora, of which there is about 3 . 5 pou nds in the h u man body, can
someti mes be wi ped out by d i sease . The appe ndix stores these bacte ria and keeps
them sealed off, so the bacte ria can propagate again and repopu late the col o n . If it
were n 't for the h i d i ng place in the append ix, regai n i ng i ntestinal health after a serious
i l l ness m i g ht be i m poss i b l e .

D r u g s a n d su rgery are t h e cu rrently ove rused "sol utions" t o healt h . To be facetious, if

we look back at blood letti ng and we contrast d rugs and surgery now, i n stead of
havi ng too m uch blood , it's kind of l i ke you have too many organs. Let's say you
we re to take yo u r watch down to the watch repai r because it isn 't worki ng suddenly,
come back a week later, and the watch repai rman says , "We know what's wrong with
you r watch . lt had too many movi ng parts. We too k out some of the movi ng parts and
it sho u l d be O K now . " What wou ld you th i n k about that? Wo u ld it see m normal to
you ? Agai n , d rugs can be appropriate , and s u rgeries can certai n ly be appropriate .

I ntrod uction & Overview

But I th i n k eve ryone wi l l ag ree that d rugs and s u rgery, especial ly i n the West, are
vastly ove rused and ove r uti l ized .

Entrenched Ideas
E ntrenched ideas are d ifficu lt to get rid of. The
establ ished order is loathe to chang e . Once an idea
is set i n peo p l e 's m i nd s , it's d ifficu lt to i ntrod uce a
new way of th i n ki ng . This is a pictu re of G a l i leo, who
in 1 633 was forced by the Catho l i c C h u rch to recant
h i s p u b l ished o p i n ions that the u n iverse does not
actually revo lve arou nd the earth . H e said the earth
was not the cente r of the u n iverse , but the earth
moves aro u nd the su n . He was fo rce d , on th reat of
i n q u isitio n , to recant that state ment. Yet he was
heard to m utte r, as he was leaving that proceed i ng ,
"ep p u r s i m u ove", which means "and yet it moves . "
Regard less of the fact that they made h i m recant, h e
knew the truth .

What's going on with med icine i n o u r cu ltu re is s i m i lar to the s ituation I j u st

descri bed . We 've been trai ned to th i n k that if you get sick, you need to visit the
doctor and get a prescri ption and that wi l l take care of it. We 've been trai ned to th i n k
that s u rgery is the sol ution for a n organ that h u rts or malfu nctions. We 've been
taug ht that we need to get vaccinated to preve nt i l l ness . None of these remedies
real ly get to the root of the proble m , and i n fact they often make th i ngs worse . So
why have n 't we real ized this and done something about it? Because these ideas are
entrenched and have become the establ ished order. M i l l ions of dollars are pou red
i nto advertising cam paigns to su pport the estab l i shed order and keep people th i n king
that weste rn med icine knows best. What I know is best is to focus on wel l ness and
d isease preventio n , and that is exactly why I 've created this
heal i ng syste m .

STRES S
We know that stress weake ns the body and opens the door
to i l l ness. Dr. Hans Selye was n o m i n ated for the Nobel P rize
for the research that he did on stress and how it affects the
body. H e was n i cknamed the Fa ther of Stress Science
because he g ave us so much of the u nderstan d i ng that we
have about stress tod ay.

The uFight or Flight" Reaction

I mag i n e you 're wal king down a trail i n t h e mou ntai ns a n d suddenly a bear stands u p
i n front of you . lt's 1 0 feet tal l and it's getting ready to charg e . What happens i n you r
body at that poi nt? Besides fee l i ng a n emotion o f fear
or terror or pan ic, there are some g l ands in you r body
that start prod ucing some certai n hormo nes. The
ad renal g l ands sit rig ht on top of the kidneys . They
start prod ucing ad renal i ne and co rtiso l , the "stress
hormones . " These hormones have some very
specific effects on the body. They beg i n to sudde n ly
route less blood to the organs of the body, and more
blood to the m u scles of the body. Why? Becau se you
don 't real ly need to be d igesting that b reakfast rig ht
now, do you ? Because yo u 're going to either have to
fight this bear or run away. In this case the hormone­
i nd uced stress response wou ld be very appropriate .
You r i m m u ne system is also affected ; it is actually
lowered by these hormones, because you don 't real ly
need to be putting any energy i nto recove ri ng from
that co ld or fl u rig ht now, do you ? You need all the
energy you can get to fig ht or ru n . These stress
hormones also elevate the blood fat and the blood sugar levels. Why? Because you
need sugar and fat floating free through the blood so you can use it as fuel to , ag ai n ,
be able to either ru n away or fig ht the bear.

This is cal led the Fight or Flight reaction, and it's perfectly appropriate for a situation
l i ke this one. The problem howeve r, is that these hormones,
ad renal i n e and cortisol , are damag i ng to the body and they
will bathe you r tissues for up to 48 hou rs after one stressfu l
eve nt. What exactly is a stressfu l eve nt? lt does n 't have to
i nvolve a bear, or anything nearly as scary. The real ity i s that
you r body does not d ifferentiate between bei n g th reatened by
a g i ant bear or havi ng an arg u ment with one of you r kids or
you r spouse. A stressfu l eve nt cou ld be someth i n g as s i m p l e
a s bei n g c u t off i n traffic, or watch i n g te levision a n d heari ng a
d ramatic news story. You consciously know that the scary
movie yo u 're watching i s n 't real and that the ki l ler isn 't
chasing you, but those hormones are sti l l re leased i n you r
body and yo u wi l l sti l l experience the fig ht o r fl i g ht reactio n .
The problem is that most o f us go from o n e stressful event to
another i n o u r l ives . Is it healthy to remai n i n this type of state , with a lowe red
i m m u ne system and h i g h blood sugar and blood fat levels? Not at al l . I n this state ,

I ntrod uction & Ove rview

the body becomes vu lnerable to a host of problems, and the longer you 're i n a
stressed out state , the more vu l nerable you r body i s .

Stress Opens the Door to Illness

So this is how stress opens the door to i l l ness and d i sease.
The more stress you 're u nder, the more vu l n e rable you are to
th ings l i ke i nfections , parasites, tox i n s , al lerg ies, structu ral
m i sal i g n ments , n utritional deficiencies, trapped emotions, and
energetic i m bal ances . Th i n k of stress as being l i ke tu rb u l e nce
on an airplane. If tu rb u l e nce can put an airplane i nto a spi n ,
stress can basical ly put yo u r body i nto a type of spi n . When I
took f l i g ht trai n i ng years ago , I was told not to fly i nto a
th u nderstorm because I was to ld that you r wings can come off
and you ' l l d i e . I took that advice . If you th i n k of you r health as
an airplane that's flyi ng along , straig ht and leve l , stress is l i ke
getting i nto tu rbu lence . And if you get i nto too much or too
strong of t u rb u lence , or too m uch turb u l e nce for too long - i n
other wo rd s , too much stress for too long - it can put you i nto
a tai lspi n and you may not eve n know it. A i rplane p i l ots cal l that the g raveyard spiral .
The same type of th i ng can happen with the body if th i ng s aren 't recog n i zed and
taken care of.

The Tailspin
lt's not usual ly noticeable at fi rst, but there are ofte n some tel ltale s i g n s when people
are i n this type of "g raveyard spiral", or "tai lspin" as far as the i r health is concerned .
They'll say th i ng s to yo u l i ke "You know, I 'd l i ke to go shoppi ng with you but I j u st
don 't have the energy." Or they'll say, " I 'd l i ke to go play golf but I 'm j u st i n too m uch
pai n . "

Energy loss and chronic pai n are often the fi rst signs
that a person is i n this tai lspi n . If things are allowed
to conti n u e , you ' l l soon real ize "I do n 't j u st have low
energy, I 'm completely exhausted and I 've felt this
way for months. What is wrong with me?" So you go
to the doctor and say, "Docto r, I am chron ical ly
fatig ued . I 'm exhausted a l l the time . " The doctor
looks u p some thi ngs i n h i s book and he co mes back
and says , "We know what's wrong with you . We have
a d i ag nosi s . "

I ntrod uction & Ove rview

 [TH E BODY CODE 2.0] m

N atu rally, you can 't wait to know what's wrong with you , so when the doctor says ,
"You are c h ron ically fatig ued . You have C h ron ic Fatig u e Synd ro m e , " how do you
feel ? You 're so g ratefu l to know what the d iag nosis i s , and you cal l you r best friend
rig ht away and say, " I know what's wrong with me ! I have C h ronic Fatig ue
Syndro m e . " And you r friend says , "Wel l , that certai n ly makes sense ! You said you
were chron ical ly fati g u ed ! That docto r is a gen i u s ! " If you we re to press the doctor for
more i nformatio n , he most l i kely wou ld say, "We don 't know what this i s . We don 't
know what to do about it. We don 't have any idea what causes it. A l l we can do is
g ive you these med i cations to suppress you r sym ptoms . "

T h e same th i ng happens with chron ic pai n .

One day you wake u p and real ize , "Wow, I
don 't have j u st a l ittle bit of pai n , I 've got pai n
al l ove r and it's not going away. I 've been l i ke
this for months now. There m u st be someth i ng
real ly wrong with m e . My m uscles hurt. "

And so you go to the doctor and say, "Doctor, I

have pai n i n my muscles and it's not going
away. What's wrong with me?" And the doctor wi l l poke you and prod yo u a l ittle bit
and look it up in his boo k and come back and say, "We know what's wrong with you .
We have a d i ag nosi s . " And you say, "Wow, I 'm so g l ad to know . What i s it? What's
wrong with me?" And the doctor says , "You have Fibromyal g i a . " The d i rect
i nterpretation of Fibromyalg i a i n Lat i n is pain in the muscles. And they cal l yo u r best
fri end rig ht away and say, " I 'm so g l ad to know what's wrong with m e . I final ly have a
d i ag nosis. I have Fibromyal g i a, which means I have pai n i n my m u scles . " And yo u r
friend says , "Wel l , that certainly makes sense ! You said you had pai n i n you r
m uscles ! That doctor is a gen i u s !"

Fibromyalg i a and chronic fatig u e syndrome are two of the most common d i ag noses
today, for wh ich med icine has no explanation and noth i ng to offer except sym ptom
suppressio n . But they are the natu ral end resu lt of i ncreasing i m bal ance i n the body .

Someti mes , thoug h , the fi rst sign of i m bal ance i n the body is a d i ag nosis with a major
d isease which is cance r, d iabetes, and so o n .

Bottom l i n e ? T h e e n d res u lt of t h i s g raveyard spiral is eve ntu al ly death . lt's i m po rtant

to note that it's esti mated that 85% of the pop u l ation is in this downward spiral at any

Stress Opens The Door To Disease
Stress breaks the body down , tears down the
body's defenses , and opens the door to d i sease .
And what is a d i sease ? A d i sease is noth i ng
more than a col lection of sym ptoms. What
causes sym ptoms to arise ? I m balances - that's
it . All d i sease is caused by i m balances. That's as
s i m p l e as it is. Actu ally, that's probably the oldest
idea in the h i sto ry of the worl d . lt's certa i n ly the
oldest idea in the h i sto ry of heal i ng and medici ne
of all types. Reve rsing these problems is what
The Body Code is all abo ut.

S IX TYPES OF IMBALANCE LEAD TO ALL D ISEASE

When I was practicing as a holistic chi ropractic physician , I fou n d I needed a way to
categorize all the d iffe rent i m balances I was fi nding on people.

Be i n g a holistic doctor is a bit l i ke bei ng a detective . If you 're a holistic doctor, you
don 't prescribe med icatio n , so you can 't use d rugs to suppress people's sym ptoms.
I nstead , you 're faced with actually havi ng to fig u re out what's really going on with
you r patient. If you can fi nd what is real ly wrong and fix it, then the body wi l l natu ral ly
reg ain its health . I fou nd that there are six d ifferent categories of i m balances that
com b i n e to create all d isease i n the body. Using this map, I cou ld deal with whatever
co ndition or sym ptom a person was suffering fro m . I n fact, as time went o n , I real ized
that it wasn 't al l that i mportant what a person had been d i ag nosed with . What was

I ntrod uction & Overview

 [TH E BODY CODE 2.0] 1!1

i mportant was to fig u re out what the specific u nderlyi ng i m bal ances were and correct
them .

Al l the things that can go wrong i n the body can be categorized i nto these 6
categories :
•
Energ i es (emotions and thoug hts that have become i m balanci ng)
•
C i rcu its and systems (the organization of the energy body)
•
Toxins such as chemicals and heavy metals
•
N utritional and l ifestyle needs and i m balances
•
M isal i g n m e nts of the structu ral parts of the body (bone and other body tissu es)
•
Pathogens ( i nfectious agents such as vi ruses , bacte ria, fu ng i , mold and
parasites)

We ' l l explore each of these 6 diffe rent categories in the various sections that fo l low.
There are some tech n i cal thi ngs we wi l l d iscuss fi rst, that way you wi l l be s u re to use
The Body Code properly when you have all the tools and i nformation .

GETTING PERMIS SION

Getting perm ission from someone before worki ng on them is
critical ly i m portant. I nvasion of privacy wi l l occ u r if you do not get
perm issio n . If it's a ch i ld you want to work o n , you absol utely have
to get perm ission from a parent or g u ard i an . If it's an ad u lt c h i l d of
yo u r own , you 've got to get the i r perm ission eve n thoug h they are
you r c h i l d . If you ' re going to work on someone who is comatose or
u nconscio u s , you 've got to get perm ission from h i s or her next of
ki n . Worki ng on someone without thei r knowledge or perm ission is
u neth ical . Getting perm ission from the su bconscious m i nd of a
person i n cases where you cou ld obtain spoken or writte n perm ission is u neth i cal .

D ON'T PLAY D O CTOR

If you 're not a doctor, you don 't eve r want t o attem pt
to diagnose anyth i ng . I n The Body Code there are
some things we look for that may seem l i ke you 're
d i ag nos i n g . For exam p l e , if m u scle testing seems to
i nd icate that a client may have an i nfection of some
ki nd , you wou ld want to say someth i n g l i ke , "Yo u r
body is suggesting that you may have a n i nfectio n . "
Then yo u can look u p what to do i n t h e Mind Maps
and l et them know what wou ld be recommended i n
order to h elp with that particular type of i nfection .

I f you th i n k that somebody may need to g o and see a doctor, tel l them so . Do n 't be

Don 't ever te l l anybody that they do or do not have cance r, u n less of co u rse yo u 're a

cancer. S h e 'd had a sig moidoscopy and they fou nd a cancer
in her sig moid co lon that was about the size of a golf bal l .
H e r docto r had taken photog raphs of th is cancer and she
bro u g ht those in when she came to see m e . They were calor
photog raphs of this bloody mass i n her colon , which they
biopsied and fo u nd that it was defi n itely cancero u s . I decided
to ask her body some q u estions about the cancer and
determine why her body was man ifesting this sym pto m .
(Remember, that's real ly a l l that cancer is - a symptom. )

The fi rst th i ng I thought to do was ask her body if she had a cance r. We al ready
knew that she d i d , but I j u st wanted see what her body wou ld say. So I asked her
body, "Do you h ave a cance r?" H e r body sai d , " No. " I was su rprised to say the least !
So then I took the pictu res of the cancer and held them u p to her and I sai d , "Loo k at
these pictu res. Do you h ave a cancer?" and tested ag ai n . We got the same answe r,
" N o . " She wou ld make the statement, " I h ave a cance r ." We tried p h rasi ng the
q u estion in different ways , but her body wou ld always reply with " N o . " lt took me 2
wee ks of work before her body wou ld ad m it that she actually d i d h ave a cance r.
What does that tel l u s ? Someti mes the body does n 't really recog n ize that it has
cancer. Someti mes it's d i scon nected from the cancer for whateve r reaso n . So you
can see how it's best to steer clear of that s u bject, u n less of cou rse you are a doctor.

If you r neig hbor comes over and says , "Hey, test me to see if I have cance r , " what
should you do? Let's say that they do h ave a cancer and it's a case l i ke that patient

of m i n e whose body did not recog n ize her cance r. What happens if the person you
test real ly does have cancer, and you te l l them "No, you don 't have cancer ." Then
what happens if they d i e a few months late r? At the funeral , the fam i ly is going to be
g rievi ng , and they're going to be tal king about yo u , sayi ng , "Mom wou ld sti l l be al ive
if only that neig hbor had n 't to ld her she d i d n 't have cance r . " You cou ld find you rself
be i ng sued , not to mention the g u i lt you 'd feel fo r maki ng that kind of m i stake . This is
not a situation you want to find you rself i n .

Yo u also should not ever te l l anybody that re leasing thei r trapped e motions is going
to cure the i r cancer. N EV E R U S E TH E WO R D " C U R E " A T A N Y TI M E !

D o N OT te l l t h e m t h at co rrect i n g a n y i m ba l a n ce we d i sc u s s i n The Body Code

i s g o i n g to C U R E a n yt h i n g , but especially ca n cer.
Cancer tissues DO always
see m to have trapped emotions em bedded in the m , so cleari ng trapped emotions
and other energ ies can o n ly hel p , but you don 't want to make any claims about this
or yo u cou l d find you rself i n tro u b l e .

W h e n I was i n practice , I made i t a habit t o neve r i nterfe re with what steps people
were al ready taki ng regard i ng the i r recovery . If people were doing chemotherapy or
see ing medical doctors , that was fine and I 'd let them go ahead and do it. I wou ld j u st
wo rk to try to hel p them bal ance the i r bod ies and re lease whatever it was that was
making the body man ifest those sym ptoms. I be l ieve that cancer is real ly j u st a
sym ptom l i ke anyth ing else. Sti l l , you want to err on the side of caution . lt is ok to te l l
peopl e that releasing trapped emotions from a cancer can only help, you don 't ever
want to g u arantee anyth i n g . The more i m balances you can get rid of, the bette r
chance the body has at heal i ng itse lf. So you can and probably wi l l see some
amazing thi ngs happe n , j u st be carefu l .

H e re is an exam p l e : I was doing a workshop once in Cal iforn i a , and I was working on
a woman u p i n front of the class . There were seve ral people gathe red aro u nd trying
to get i n closer to see and hear what was goi ng o n . Th is woman 's h usband was

h u sband kept p u s h i n g h i m back. These two g uys al most got i nto a fight by the time I

told that you cou l d n 't have anybody with i n 1 0 feet or you cou l d n 't get a correct

then g u ess what? That becomes true for you and you won 't be able to test if there is

About two months afte r the death of my father i n 2003 , I had a very u n usual d ream . lt
was profound to me, and I took it as a message from God . I d reamed that I was
wal king down a hal lway i n a u n ive rsity or a co l lege . The hallway was fi l led with busy
people on the i r own errands. There were people al l aro u nd m e , but there was
someth ing ve ry u n usual happe n i ng to m e . I was l iterally wal ki ng on air, about an i nch
off the floor. The fee l i n g was absol utely i ncred i b l e . I tried wal king faste r, then slowe r,
to see if it wou ld change my altitude. lt d i d n 't change , I was sti l l wal king about an i nch
off the floor, and the fee l i ng was i ndescri bable !

No one arou nd me seemed to notice this, as

they were i ntent on what they we re doing . I
thoug ht to myse lf, " I f I can wal k an i nch off the
g ro u n d , I 'l l bet I can wal k a foot off the g rou nd . "
As soo n a s I thoug ht th i s , i t was done ! I was
wal king a foot off the g rou nd ! I looked be h i nd
me at that poi nt, and saw a g ro u p of smal l
c h i l d re n , whose eyes were faste ned u pon me.
They were also wal king a foot off the g rou nd ,
j u st l i ke m e , althou g h no one else see med to
notice what was happen i ng .

I conti n u ed wal ki ng , and fou nd I co u ld gai n

altitude as I des i red , and before long , my head
was nearly touch i ng the cei l i ng .

At this po i nt , I noticed that everyone had stopped what they we re doing and had
tu rned the i r faces u p toward m e . They were q uestion i ng m e , sayi ng , "How are you
doing that? How can you possi bly be doing what you 're doing ?"

I ntrod uction & Ove rview

The answer I g ave them was a message fro m God to m e , and now is a message
from God to yo u . I said to them , " lt's easy ! All you have to do is belie ve you can do it,
and be g ratefu l to God that you are doing it !"

Then I looked fu rther down the hal lway, and saw seve ral l arge g l ass doors that led
outs i d e . There were beautifu l g reen rol l i ng h i l ls , more cam pus b u i l d i ng s , and a vast
open sky . I thoug ht to myself, "When I get beyo nd those doors , I wi l l be able to fly !"

lt was at that moment I awake ned . Sti l l i n a d ream l i ke state , I real ized clearly what
the d ream meant. The fact that I cou ld wal k on air meant that I cou l d do whatever I
bel i eved I cou ld d o , as long as I was g ratefu l to God that I was do i ng it. The c h i l d re n
sym bol ized t h e s i m p l e , p u re faith o f m i nds u nfettered b y a l ifeti me o f learned
l i m itations. The doors h ad a d u al mean i ng . They sym bol ized the l i m its that we p l ace
on o u rse lves i n this mortal l ife , and they also sym bol ized death . Part of the message
was that my father was beyond those doors , and that he cou l d fly, with no earthly
l i m its to his abi l ities.

If we express this d ream in the form of a mathematical eq u ation , it wou ld look l i ke

th i s :

Wou ld we ever beg i n anyth i ng i f we d i d not be l i eve we cou ld do it? N o . Bel i ef i s

esse ntial t o al l w e do, a n d i s t h e necessary fi rst step .

G ratitude is an essenti al part o f t h i s equation , and I can 't overe m phasize the
i m po rtance of the word doing. In other word s , you r g ratitude to God that you are
doing it is s i g n ificant, because it is to God that we owe everyt h i n g that we h ave and
are , and it is to H i m that we owe every opportu n ity that l ies in our path . If you have a

I ntrod uction & Overview

 [TH E BODY CODE 2.0] m

goal that you want to ach i eve , i m ag i ne how g ratefu l you wou ld feel if you had al ready
ach ieved it. If you can feel it and expect that it wi l l be, it wi l l be .

As you learn to cu ltivate g ratitude to God for what you al ready have , you r faith and
bel ief wi l l i ncrease , for you wi l l d raw you rself closer to that very sou rce of power from
which all th i ngs flow.

You w i l l soon f i n d you rse lf d o i n g the very t h i n g t h at was o n ce o n ly a d rea m .

When you r heart is fu l l o f g ratitu de, do you th i n k it i s possible t o fee l doubt or fear? I
don 't th i n k so . To be a healer, you m u st not ente rtain thoug hts of doubt ; yo u m u st
leave you r fears be h i n d . Yo u r heart m u st be fil led with love and g ratitud e .

All you have t o d o is believe and b e g ratefu l , and you wi l l b e able t o do i t . I mean this
very l iteral l y !

INGRED IENTS FOR SUCCES S

To have success with The Body Cod e , it takes 3 mai n com ponents :
• I ntention energy
• Mag n etic energy
• A place to d i rect the i ntentio n

The Power of Intention

I ntention is havi ng an i nte ntion (goal or des i re) to do
someth i n g . This is a p u re vibration of energy that you
create and it is a n atural part of you r power as a be i ng
of p u re energy. You r i ntention can affect you rself and
others both physical ly and energetical ly.

You r i ntention energy is especially effective whe n :

• Focused and clear
• Loving and g ratefu l
• Ampl ified with a too l l i ke a mag n et
• D i rected to the rig ht place

Always beg i n the process of usi ng The Body Code with

a clear m i n d . Stay focused on the task at hand and
do n 't allow other thoug hts or expectations to creep i n , as these can affect you r
muscle testing resu lts among other th i ng s . I f a d i straction or a memory or thou g ht
i nterru pts you , refocus and conti n u e . Focus i ng positive energy on the s u bject wi l l

I ntrod uction & Ove rview

 make yo u r i ntention even more effective , because
this creates a heal i n g power beyond j u st the release
or correction of an i m balance .

Make a habit of always fee l i ng LOV E fo r the person

you are working with as wel l as G RATITU D E that
what you are doi ng is worki n g . Th is makes fee l i ng
doubt, fear or fai l u re i m possi b l e . You r be l i ef, focus
and thoug hts determ i n e you r real ity and can affect
others . If yo u fee l negative and you work on
someo n e , it's possible that you can make them feel
worse . Choose a powe rfu l , positive attitu de and
watch yo u r success bloom .

Magnifying Your Intention

The next too l is some form of mag n etic energy. Mag netic
energy and mag n ets are a p u re form of energy. When
used the rig ht way, a mag n et can act as an ampl ifier and
carrier fo r you r i ntention energy. Th i s i s a s i m i lar concept
to how a mag n ifying g l ass wi l l visually ampl ify whateve r
is beh i nd it, maki ng it appear larger. I n order to use The
Body Cod e , any mag n et works, i ncl u d i ng the mag netic
energy of you r body. You r body em its e lectromag n etic
energy al l the time, so if you don 't have a magnet with
yo u , j u st use you r hand .

Remember that you m u st ide ntify the i m balance properly fi rst, or u s i ng the mag n et
won 't make m uch of a d ifference . Therapeutic mag n ets can have a balanci ng affect
on the body on the i r own , but The Body Code req u i res that yo u find the i m bal ance
fi rst, i ntend to re lease or correct it, then use the mag netic energy to acco m p l ish that
goal .

Directing your Intention

H aving mag n ified i nte ntion energy i s really t h e o n l y tool you need t o have , b u t yo u d o
need a place t o d i rect i t . T h e acu p u nctu re syste m is t h e perfect ave n u e for t h i s . The
ancient C h i nese physicians d iscove red over 5 , 000 years ago that restori ng balance
to the flows of energy in the body i nfl u enced health . They mapped out these
energetic "rivers", cal led meridians, which flow th roug hout the body and con nect with
each other. These maps of the meri d i ans in the acu p u nct u re system are the same
maps that are used today.

I ntrod uction & Ove rview

 [TH E BODY CO D E 2.0] "

The merid ians of the body, specifical ly the govern i ng merid ian , are the pe rfect
chan nel to d i rect you r i nte ntion energy i nto . Th is is because the govern i ng meridian
is an energy rese rvoi r, l i ke the main "river" i n the "rive r
syste m" of the meridians. lt con nects to a l l the other
meridians, so anytime energy is put i nto the govern i ng
merid ian , it flows d i rectly i nto other merid i ans and
throug hout the enti re energy body. The govern i ng meridian
starts at the u pper lip, going up over the nose and forehead ,
ove r the top of the head , then al l the way down the spine to
the tai l bo ne.

By rol l i ng a mag net over t h e govern ing merid i an , you r

i ntention energy flows i nto the body, eas i ly re leasing or
correcting an i m balance that has been identified and made
ready to be released or corrected . Using any length of the
govern i ng meridian works . R u n the mag n et over the
forehead and head , down the spine or down the back of the
neck ; all allow the i ntention energy to flow i nto the body.

Most i m balances only req u i re 3 ro l l s of a mag n et down the

govern i ng merid i an , but a few req u i re 1 0 rol l s , such as
i n herited energ ies and fascial d istortio n . When yo u fol low
this proced u re , you r i ntention energy flows i nto the body
and does not allow the negative energy or i m balance to
re mai n .

When a negative energy (such as a Trapped E motion) i s re leased , i t i s either:

•
N e utral ized (changed i nto a positive or ne utral vibration)
•
Or forced (gently) out of the body

Th is phenomenon is s i m i lar to what a mag net does to a cred it

card ; the i nfo rmation is erased or changed . Some people have
repo rted see i ng a bal l of energy leavi ng the body u pon re lease .
We bel i eve it is l i kely that these energ i es leave the body i n a
ne utral ized state when there is love and g ratitude bei ng
focused on the c l i e nt's body.

WARNIN G S AB OUT MAGNETS

Don 't use a mag net d i rectly on anyone who is pregnant, has a pacemake r or med ical
device , or is u nder a doctor's care . Anyone who fits any of these descri ptions can sti l l

I ntrod uction & Overview

 be worked on u s i ng The Body Code , but you should use
the mag n etic energy from you r hand i n stead , or you can
use a su rrogate or proxy to do the cleari ng . A ve ry small
percentage of people are sensitive to mag n ets . If anyone
appears to be having a negative reactio n , stop use
i m med i ately. Mag nets do not hold onto the energ ies they
re lease ; l i ke a mag n ifying g l ass , they are a too l to mag n ify
what is rig ht i n front of the m . They do not need to be
"cleansed" or anything of the sort.

Too ls Other Than Magnets

lt is also possible to use other energy tools besides mag nets . You cou l d u se a cold
laser or a zero-po i nt energy too l , fo r exam p l e . Agai n , if yo u don 't have any of these
tools, you can use the mag netic energy emanati ng from you r fingertips or you r hand .
