I recall reading this one article at Gary Craig’s site on emotional freedom techniques: “Working with trauma - the connection between EFT and the Amygdula.”

At the time, I did’t think much of it because my precepts of EFT rely on tapping into higher gauge symmetry as theorized by Dr. William Tiller on the energy meridians. Then I found this article written a little more than a year ago that seems to add more weight to the issue of relaxing the amygdula: “Brain Scans Reveal Why Meditation Works.”

Here’s an excerpt:

Brain scans show that putting negative emotions into words calms the brain’s emotion center. That could explain meditation’s purported emotional benefits, because people who meditate often label their negative emotions in an effort to “let them go.”

Psychologists have long believed that people who talk about their feelings have more control over them, but they don’t know why it works…

..When the participants chose labels for the negative emotions, activity in the right ventrolateral prefrontal cortex region—an area associated with thinking in words about emotional experiences—became more active, whereas activity in the amygdala, a brain region involved in emotional processing, was calmed.

By contrast, when the subjects picked appropriate names for the faces, the brain scans revealed none of these changes—indicating that only emotional labeling makes a difference… (Interesting!)

In that article by Nikki Ball, Working with trauma…, she suggests applying the senses to further focus on and enhance the emotional experience. This makes perfect sense because the brain utilises holographic memory in its synaptic pathways. (Ref: Nature’s Mind, the Quantum Hologram)

That holographic memory contains every part of that sensual experience which is inextricably attached to the emotional experience. By the same token, it seems that the amygdula is some sort of release valve or capacitor for emotional tension and that dealing with emotional tension through introspective communication is vital to the balance of neural activity, therefore health in general.

No wonder chicks like EFT. They know it works.

In an EFT session, we focus on problems and issues that we are experiencing now by tapping on key shotgun points on the energy meridians while expressing and focusing upon the negative issues. When we express these negative issues, we do our best to “tune” into the problem as exactly as possible, so we talk out the negative emotions and all the sensual experiences attached to those emotions to further enhance and clarify the experience.

According to the article, Brain Scans Reveal Why Meditation Works, this is obviously what we need as an emotional pressure release. This is why women like to talk out their problems. And you know what? They’re right. For millenia, they’ve been hitting the problem on the head, but most men aren’t into that. I guess that’s why we’re such troublemakers.

So, maybe you guys want to try EFT, for the ladies if not for yourself. It’s not that silly and noone is asking you to make a video of yourself doing it or put yourself on public display. Just do it to take care of your problems - get them out of the way and have yourself a wonderful life.

If you’re a more spiritual type, you can apply God’s Names in your EFT practice. I have a post on Spiritual Healing which utilises the 72 Names of God in tandem with EFT. Yehuda Berg’s The 72 Names of God Meditation Book: Technology for the Soul is rife with all sorts of intense emotional situations that applies to anyone experiencing difficulties. What better starting point for spiritual types who want to be happy by calling upon God’s Angels?

If you would like to get into EFT, you will send that Gary Craig has made a myriad of tools freely available to everyone:

P.S. Mainstream medical practitioners dismiss EFT with a vengence. EFT cures problems in a few minutes as opposed to the life time “treatments” of mainstream medicine.

extract from The Secret Life of the Brain:

The meditating mind

WHEN Zen Buddhists meditate, they may be deliberately switching off their default network, a recently discovered system within the brain that has been strongly linked with daydreaming (see main story).The goal of Zen meditation is to clear the mind of wandering, stream-of-consciousness thoughts by focusing attention on posture and breathing. Giuseppe Pagnoni, a neuroscientist at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia in Italy, wondered whether this meant they had learned to suppress the activity of their default network.He recruited a group of volunteers trained in Zen meditation and put them in an fMRI scanner. He presented them with random strings of letters and asked them to determine whether each was an English-language word or just gibberish. Each time a subject saw a real word, their default network would light up for a few seconds - evidence of meandering thoughts triggered by the word, such as apple… apple pie… cinnamon.Zen meditators performed just as well as non-meditators on word recognition, but they were much quicker to rein in their daydreaming engines afterwards, doing so within about 10 seconds, versus 15 for non-meditators

The “default network” of which this passage speaks is studied during the metabolism of radioactive glucose by the brain during an fMRI scan.

As you know, magnetic resonance imaging depends upon nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to work. NMR depends on the principle of the nuclear core of atoms to respond to resonant frequencies and reflect them back to the imaging sensors. When different nuclear cores respond to the same signal, this indicates resonance between these atomic cores or quantum coherence.

In this case, they were focused on the radioactive glucose during its metabolism, but functional MRIs capture all activity, of which the metabolism of glucose was prevalent. This makes sense because glucose is the main nutrition for the brain. Knowing the resonant frequency of radioactive glucose, we can easily see its path with fMRI scanners.

Consequently, we also discover the neural pathways which are most active during thought processing since the correlating neural pathways are metabolizing the most glucose. Isn’t that fun?

What may not be obvious to some neuroscience researchers are the comparisons we can draw from this observation. When human intention focuses on something, the energies within the brain are drawn to that focus rather than the “default network” which seems to be using the whole brain rather than certain parts.

We can easily compare the brain to a system of coherent plasma energy. First, here’s an fMRI of someone’s default network of elaborate, distributed patterns of activity such as when daydreaming:

Here’s the brain activity as it is posed to focus on one activity (namely an emotion which creates the most prominant activity in the prefrontal cortex):

Here’s a plasma globe. Let’s say that it’s experiencing a “default network.” When there is no outer stimulation for it to focus upon, the activity is random:

Here is an example of a plasma globe made to focus. As the demonstrator shows you, the plasma globe is able to excite a fluorescent bulb with its electromagnetic field. This action is akin to the brain which has its own set of subtle energy fields which can stimulate adjacent systems into a state of excitation:

Neural activity is similar to high energy plasma state activity in that they both have a “default network” and they both respond and focus upon external stimuli. The brain uses the same principles of a high energy plasma state because of its ability for quantum coherence.

I will have further evidence in the long run. For now, please examine the next article which deals with effects on the brain through human intention and energy psychology.

Thanks for your time,

Randolph
