why EFT works have been astounding. Te results re- vealed why EFT Tapping is the perfect bridge between cutting edge Western medicine and ancient healing practices from the East.


Harvard Medical Schools Studies and the Brain’s Stress Response For example, studies at Harvard Medical School have revealed that by stimulating the body’s meridian points – the same spots on your body that are manipulated by acupuncturists – you can significantly reduce activity in a part of your brain called the amygdala. Tink of your amygdala as a personal alarm system. When you experience trauma or fear, the amygdala is triggered and your body is flooded with cortisol, commonly known as the “stress hormone.” Tis intricate chain reaction – your stress response – significantly influ- ences and sometimes even causes whatever it is that troubles you, whether that’s an illness, injury, or even an external problem such as your finances or a rela- tionship. Tese studies show that by stimulating these Tapping Points on your body – as we do in EFT – you can drastically reduce or eliminate the distress that accompanies or gives rise to these problems you face. By doing so, so you can oſten eliminate the problems themselves! It’s an exciting time to be working with EFT. Al-

To them, it’s simply too good to be true. Even thousands of stories from people around the world about just how tapping has changed their lives have not been enough to prompt some skeptics to reconsider. Tat’s why this research is so very important. Clini-
