Hi Linda,
Thanks for the question.
I don't know if I can help you that much seeing I have never heard of either:
- the emotion code, or
- Dr. Bradley Nelson
I agree with your concerns for your sister getting more involved into the New Age stuff. E-mail me if Sharon Lee addresses this on her show and I will add it to our answer. I tried to find something on the web that would provide more information for you and found this web site. I can't vouch for the web site, but it looks good:
Maybe my other colleagues have heard of either the emotion code or Dr. Bradley Nelson.
Situations where family members have left the Church can be very difficult to deal with.
I would pray every day for her and offer up as many Masses as possible for her.
I hope you still have a talking relationship with her. If so, just be yourself: a good, loving sister.
Share with her the history of the Catholic Church
and what the very first Christians thought, taught, and died for:
Beyond that, you have to respect her free will. While Mormon theology is crazy and non-Trinitarian, it amazes me what Mormons do with the actual grace they receive. Based on what
I have heard, they have strong moral and family values — similar to our Catholic values.
As a side note: actual grace refers to God's interventions, whether it's at the beginning of a conversion or in the course of the work of sanctification.
Their family-friendly role models are something practicing Catholics should adapt.
I hope this helps,
Mike
