AAMET likes to hear from mental health and medical practitioners about their use of EFT, as well as research being conducted. Please get in touch if you are involved in any reasearch or studies which involve EFT. Mahima Kalla, a PhD student from Melbourne, Australia, shares details of the research she is undertaking at the Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences at Monash University, Australia. I have been awarded an Australian Postgraduate Award to undertake a PhD in the topic The use and perceived benefit of Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) for building the health and wellbeing of rural people in Australia and India that have a physical illness. I would mainly like to study what sort of changes occur within a persons energetic and astral field upon administering EFT, that results in an improvement in a disease/medical condition. Upon drawing conclusions on the perceived benefits of EFT, I will explore how it can be safely administered in a rural context, especially where conventional medical infrastructure is limited. Some of the ways I have in mind to study the co-relations between energy field and illness include: Clinical trials, Tests such as blood tests, & Kirlian photography I look forward to presenting my research findings to you in future. Mahima

For the times when there is nothing better than keeping it Simple...
by Ann Smith
AAMET Trainer & Advanced Practitioner www.InsideOutWithEFT.com

K.I.S.S.

Some say this acronym means Keep it Simple, Sweetie and some prefer Keep it Simple, Stupid. Either way, sometimes keeping it simple with tapping is wise. If you have searched the web for information about EFT or other tapping techniques, you will uncover a wide variety of styles. Some people tap on the wrists, some dont. Some use both hands, some use one. Some use positive statements from the get-go while others wait until some of the negative is released. Some use lots of words while others repeat the same words over and over again. Even EFT experts have their own unique styles.

As a practitioner, I know that there are many skills and refinements that make tapping more effective, especially when confronting complex issues. But too often we forget that just simple tapping is better than not tapping. For those times when you cant do it right, if you cant think of the words, you dont know what youre feeling, or youre with others, just do one of these simple versions of tapping: Tap on the karate chop point (the fleshy side of either hand) without words. Aim for about 20 times or for 10 seconds. Tap on the karate chop point as you think to yourself, I accept myself even with my problems. Tap as you think this at least three times. Tap on any point that just feels good without words.

Imagine yourself tapping on yourself. If you can, focus on a problem/negative feeling at the same time. Or just imagine tapping You want to do it right, right? Well, which without words. way IS right? Doing these simple forms of tapping will help you feel better. Remember that EFT is a VERY forgiving Period. technique. No matter which way you tap, it often works, even if someone else thinks youre doing it wrong!

How simple can you get!

Insight: Drug Addictions

i, Im Robert McKenzie

Ive kindly been given the opportunity to let you know about some of my experiences using EFT. As a Professional Substance Use Practitioner, I work with primary heroin, crack cocaine and Benzodiazepam users in the NottingHill area of London. I have worked in this field for ten years now and I love my work. I work within what is known as the NHS GP Shared Care Scheme as a GP Liaison, which enables me to work alongside NHS GPs and Clinical Nurse Specialists who prescribe substitute opioid medications such as Methadone and Buprenorphine.

AAMET International EFT Level 3 Practitioner/ Trainer, Robert McKenzie who works within the NHS GP Shared Care Scheme and specialises in cases of Substance Use, gives us an insight into some of his experiences using EFT...
Among the assorted treatment and care modalities on offer to clients presenting to drug services for help with their addictions they can access psychological interventions and support such as Counseling/Psychotherapy. These talking therapies can hopefully help the clients work through their troubled emotions and possibly help them find the root causes to their dependencies. Unfortunately, clients usually access these support mechanisms only on a weekly basis for one hour at a time. I have always thought this wasnt ideal. Drug using clients come with a host of issues. Statistically speaking, 58% of our presenting clients have experienced some form of childhood abuse, the most common being sexual. They have all the issues related to this one area of emotional trauma. Leading a life full of detrimental behavior patterns then compounds this. Therefore there are issues such as Low Self- Esteem / Worth and even Self Loathing. Generally they have lead lives outside what we may call social norms.

I currently carry a caseload of seventy clients

I have heard statements such as Who wants to know a junkie like me? and Im 40 years old, its too late for me to change
The majority havent been in employment for considerable lengths of time and they have gravitated towards likewise souls and cut themselves off from society leading isolated lives and in turn have a lack of confidence and social skills. There is a feeling of being judged, ostracized and shunned by society. I have discovered the most challenging obstacle to this client group accepting change in their lives is Fear! One of the most common aspects of this is fear of themselves and who they will be if they change and what will be expected of them if they do. For this reason alone, resistance to change is high in this client group. Although I have seen dramatic positive changes in a number of my clients, the success rate on the whole throughout this field for long term abstinence is low, (approximately 20%) and the work can span years before someone is successful in regaining a healthy drug free life. They may have to try number of times before finally breaking free of their bonds.

Insight: Drug Addictions

My journey to E F T...
Approximately five years ago I decided to try to find a tool which would offer my clients a way of taking back some level of control of their chaotic behaviour. I felt it important they didnt need to wait another week for a one hour session to help them deal with whatever may be upsetting to them. This could be memories, daily anxieties or more prevalently cravings to use more drugs thereby continuing the cycle of drug abuse. I scoured the Internet trying to find something, although I wasnt even sure myself what I was looking for and I literally stumbled onto EFT when I came across a Gary Craig video. I decided Id like to give it a go and made contact with Philip and Christine of Pheonix EFT, got myself trained, and havent looked back since. Having passed my training I then decided to approach my employers to request permission to introduce EFT sessions with my own clients. I work for a London based charity, BlenheimCDP and Im pleased to say that my senior management are forward looking and pride themselves on being innovative.

At this time I also facilitated a weekly EFT group in a rehabilitation unit where residents were connecting with their emotions for the first time in years. The level of emotion being expressed at this stage of recovery can be overwhelming. Anger was rife for a majority at this stage of recovery so I would teach them to use Tapping to alleviate their anger whenever they felt it surfacing. Disrupted sleep patterns was also a very common issue. I would teach them to Tap on themselves while in bed and some slept soundly for the first time in weeks. I expect some of you reading this will know what Im talking about when I say I experienced a level of ridicule and resistance. Common comments were Youre having laugh, what can Tapping on your yourself do? I experienced this weekly while being given the cold shoulder by the in house psychotherapists. I now bump into ex-residents who tell me that are still using EFT anytime they feel the need and that they wouldnt have found staying drug free as easy without the technique. I now also have the respect of the psychotherapists. Im delighted to have had the opportunity to use EFT on other talking therapy professionals who were so taken by the results they have sought out training to compliment their practice. Staff members at my workplace have referred their clients to me after experiencing the technique for their own issues and some have now become practitioners. Volunteers also at my workplace have also been trained to practitioner level. Over the years I have continued to employ EFT with a number of my clients, with a considerable success rate. I have gone on to use the technique with GP Practice staff, family and friends. In fact I use the technique at any given opportunity and can honestly say I do not know anyone who hasnt benefitted from it. I have been shocked and still am taken by surprise at just how effective EFT can be and have added to my skills by being trained in Matrix Reimprinting which I refer to as EFT on Steroids.

E F T study shows 50% success rate

They agreed to me running a pilot study with a small group of six clients for six months. I used the NHS HADS scale in evaluating the study. Out of that group three are now drug free and are now EFT Practitioners. One moved away and the other two were drug free for some months but are now back using drugs again. As sad as that may be the study equates to a 50% success rate.

JANUARY 2013 www.aamet.org

At this time my employers have agreed to stage another larger study with a dozen staff members from assorted projects within the organization about to be trained. If the feedback is positive, which I fully expect it to be, the senior management will be looking at Rolling it out, into the organisations 17 projects here in London.
Where do I see EFT going?
Although I can see a day when it will be part of the NHS just as acupuncture has become I believe progress will be slow in introducing it to mainstream primary care. The NHS is all about evidence based treatment modalities and until we can provide the evidence we will be knocking on the door. The evidence is there anecdotally by the barrow load but it just isnt enough. I know that some within the EFT community are trying whatever they can to produce the necessary evidence and I wish them God speed in their efforts. Ideally we need the resources to carry out a clinical study of EFT but as we all know this takes an inordinate amount of money and funding is an issue right across the board in these times we live in. Until we find the means to make this happen we as a community can only keep spreading the word and doing what is required to make EFT as widely known as possible. We need to make a concerted effort to use it on anyone, anytime, anywhere. Ive even used it in bars and restaurants.

Five years ago I was being ridiculed. Since then however EFT has been in the media and when you mention Tapping people now they say Oh Yeah, Ive heard of that. Maybe, hopefully, it wont be too long before everyone knows what those three alphabetical letters EFT refer to. My best wishes to all in the EFT community. I wish you the very best. Your efforts will come to fruition one day and I will continue to be doing whatever I can to carry this wonderful technique forward.

I am delighted to have the pleasure of working with one forward looking and open minded GP who refers clients to me specifically for EFT sessions after she experienced its effects and listened to her patients

he latest research show that up to 50% of general practitioners and pediatricians in Switzerland have experienced Burnout over recent years. It also appears that the numbers are just as critical for MDs in many other countries in Europe.
The workshop was well received, participants reported having enjoyed very much the experimental atmosphere. And with the help of a little humor, they also thought EFT was loads of fun!! They were very interested in the different physical changes they (or their colleagues) perceived while tapping shivers, heat waves, pain moving around from one place to another in the body Of course, MD are wonderfully specific when it comes to describing physical symptoms!! By the end of the workshop, two of them fell asleep sitting on their chairs, and one suddenly got the giggles Eventually provoking general laughter amongst the participants

A two-day Medical Conference named Quality of Life 2012 was organized on the last weekend of September in charming Verbier, one of the most reputed ski resorts located in the heart of Valais, in Switzerland. The aim of this QoL2012 Conference was to offer MDs an opportunity to experience different alternative methods to reduce stress, while one full day was dedicated exclusively to Burnout. The chosen methods were Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), Mindfulness, HeartMath and Mobility & Sports.

I was honored to be invited as an EFT expert to participate at the Round table on the theme Burnout, from Screening to Therapies, and to give a two hours intro- Talking about relaxation! ductory EFT workshop. I would like to thank my super team for The roundtable put forward the need for that special day : Alain my husband, for a new vision of our health system, as MDs helping me develop a specific program reported that much of their excess stress on EFT & Burnout, and Janine Portner, AAMET Certified EFT practitioner, for her comes from an overload of paperwork kind assistance throughout the day. which has drastically increased over recent years due to a new system (TarMed) Bookings have already been taken for in our country. 2013, were all looking forward for more EFT in Verbier!

THE INTERVIEW
AAMET Did you always know you wanted to be a

healer?

Dr Nelson When I was 13 years old, I was diagnosed with kidney disease. At the hospital, the Doctors told us that there was no treatment for what I had. They told me to be careful not to run or play too hard, because it could be dangerous. I remember thinking that they didnt really need to tell me that, because just walking would sometimes create pain in my back that would make me feel like I had been stabbed with a knife. Since this disease was potentially fatal, and since there was no medical treatment for it, my parents decided to try an alternative. They took me to see a couple of Osteopathic Doctors who practiced and lived in a trailer house situated in the middle of a field on the outskirts of town. Their names were Dr. Alan Bain and Dr. Ida Harmon. Doc and Ida started manipulating and realigning my spine, and within a couple of weeks, I felt much better. The pain that I had been experiencing was much less frequent, and much less severe. After about a month, I had just about forgotten that I was ever sick. My parents took me back to the clinic, where they ran the tests on me again. The tests were all negative, and as I recall, that was the 1st time I ever heard the phrase spontaneous remission. Whatever we did mustve worked! But of course, they hadnt done anything. I knew what had really helped me, and it wasnt Western Medicine. AAMET What made you choose to become a holistic

them. I remember very distinctly lying on my back on their table during a treatment session and telling Dr. Harmon, When I grow up, I want to do what you do. She replied, No you dont. If you go to school youll never learn the right way to heal. Theyll fill your head so full of dogma and nonsense that youll never be able to think for yourself again. Maybe it was my age, but for some reason this advice really stayed with me. In fact that one simple piece of advice changed the course of my life forever. As the years went on my dream of being a healer started to fade a bit. I was introduced to computer programming in college and I loved it. I loved business, and decided that I wouldnt go into the healing arts after all. Instead, I was going to become a businessman. When I was about 6 months away from starting the MBA program at Brigham Young University, my wife Jean and I went home to Montana for Christmas. As we were sitting with my mother and father in their living room, my father suddenly asked me, Are you sure you dont want to go to chiropractic school? Youve always wanted to do that, and it seems like a really great career. I replied that, No, Ive decided to get my MBA, so Im really going in a different direction. He said Well, why dont you think about it one more time? I told him that I would. Later that evening, Jean and I drew up a pro and con list. On one side was chiropractic, and on the other side was the MBA and the business world. The list was a little longer on the chiropractic side, but I wasnt convinced. However, I was now not so sure what I really wanted to do. I had thought that my mind was made up, but now I felt like I was being torn between 2 exciting futures. When Jean and I got married, we made an agreement that we would never make any momentous or important decision without praying about it to see if it was right. This was definitely one of those momentous decisions. So, that night found me on my knees. I essentially said, Father in Heaven, if it makes any difference to you, please help me to know what direction to go.

doctor as opposed to a medical doctor?

Dr Nelson I knew in my heart that what my alternative Doctors had done HAD worked. I decided then and there that I wanted to be a Doctor when I grew up, but not just any kind of Dr., I wanted to be THAT kind of doctor. If I had to practice in a trailer house in the middle of a muddy field, that was okay with me. Doc and Ida treated people by the busload who would come to them from all over, even from other states. They were miracle workers, and my life would never be the same after my experience with

I will go either way. I was awakened in the middle of that night to find my mind full of thoughts about healing, and how wonderful it is to be able to serve other people that way. I remember thinking, Well yes, thats true, but this other direction is good, too. I had this experience 3 times that night. I woke up 3 times, and each time my mind was full of these warm fuzzy feelings about going into the healing arts. Nevertheless, I wasnt convinced. (Do I seem a bit thick headed to you?) The next night found me on my knees once again, asking God for guidance. And this was a night that I will never forget if I live to be a million years old. This night, like the night before, I was awakened 3 times. And each time I was awakened, my mind was filled with the same thoughts as the night before. But somehow these feelings became progressively stronger and more powerful each time I was awakened. The 3rd time that I woke up on that second night, my mind was overflowing with thoughts of service to mankind and to humanity; its impossible for me to describe what this experience was like, but these feelings were absolutely overwhelming. As I was feeling those feelings, those thoughts of service in healing and helping the world, a voice spoke to me. It was a voice is clear as crystal, and as distinct and as audible as anything Ive ever heard. It

simply said, This is a sacred calling. Ive reflected on this experience many times since then. And I believe that, because the human body is actually a sacred temple for our spirit to inhabit, that any time we are working to help that body function better, we are doing a sacred thing. If we are sewing up an injury, if we are helping someone who is disabled, if we are healing someone who is in need of healing, we are doing a sacred thing.

AAMET What inspired you to write the book The Emo-

tion Code?

Dr Nelson In the summer of 1983 I began my journey in the healing arts by enrolling in chiropractic school. I fondly remember it as one of the great experiences of my life, and thanks to my classmates, it was a truly enlightening experience. However, my guard was up from the first day I stepped on campus... No matter what healing method was taught by my instructors as being the best way to fix this or
AAMET

that problem, my attitude was always, Well, maybe, maybe not. Maybe theres a better way to do this that just hasnt been figured out yet. By this time, I had become pretty good at computer programming. In fact, I was able to help put myself through chiropractic school by programming the admissions software that our college used. I remember my instructors saying, the brain is the most sophisticated computer in the known universe. And I can remember thinking, Wow. If the brain is really a computer, will we ever have the ability to access the data that must be stored in there, because if we could, it would be amazing. I hoped that someday, as technology advanced, we might eventually gain this ability. Little did I know how accessing the subconscious database would affect my practice and the rest of my life! Since God had gotten me into this line of work, I thought perhaps He might be willing to help me in practice. I soon fell into a habit of asking a silent prayer before I worked on each patient. It just took a few seconds, and no one ever knew I had this habit, but as time went on, I received more and more information from above, information that I needed to help my patients get well. One of the most profound things that I learned was the enormous role that emotions play in our illnesses. I found that this emotional baggage, our trapped emotions, are responsible for up to 90% of our pain, our physical illnesses and emotional difficulties. As time went on, I refined the method that I was using to find and release these trapped emotions, and when I had it to a point that it was simple enough that anyone could learn it, I began teaching seminars in an attempt to get the word out about this powerful new method of healing. AAMET What is the main message you convey through

it, and indeed, we have children working miracles with it. I believe it is absolutely time to take back our power and our ability to heal. While there will always be a need for a medical profession, a need for surgery, a need for drugs, the reality is that most problems can be dealt with by simply releasing the emotional baggage that underlies our symptoms. Another incredibly powerful message of The Emotion Code has to do with the human heart. Ancient peoples believed that the human heart was the seat of the soul, the source of our love, the source of our creativity and the core of our being. In the West, we have thought these old ideas were simply poetic notions, the uneducated attempts of ancient peoples to understand the inner workings of the human mind without the advantages of the modern technology that we enjoy. Now, modern technology is actually revealing to us that these ancient peoples were right in their beliefs about the human heart. It is exactly what they thought it was. When someone is really hurting us, when we are feeling deeply hurt or grieved, we can feel heaviness and other physical sensations that make us think our heart is breaking. When we are feeling this way, the heart within us, the core of our being, is truly under assault. If this happens to a person more than once or twice, the subconscious mind will put up a wall of energy, a force-field made from the energy of their trapped emotions. This Heart-Wall interferes with our ability to give and receive love, to feel positive emotions, and to manifest the pure creation that lies within the heart of each one of us. Taking down this invisible wall allows us to manifest the perfect creation within us, to find love, and to create our best and most abundant life. This is the most important message of The Emotion Code; that 93% of people are emotionally handicapped because of the walls around their hearts. The Emotion Code unlocks this secret, and gives us an incredibly rapid way to find and eliminate these damaging walls. When Heart-Walls are removed, depression disappears immediately in most cases, people suddenly find themselves in love who for many years had been alone, and more. The discovery of the HeartWall has been called The greatest discovery in the history of energy medicine, because of its profound truth, as well as the profound and life-changing effects that it has when it is removed.

the book?

Dr Nelson There are a number of very powerful messages in the book that all combine together to create a quite remarkable new method. First of all, I believe that the birthright of every single human being is to be a healer. The Emotion Code gives back that birthright to every man, woman and child on earth. Healing need not be difficult. The Emotion Code makes it simple enough that a child can do

The Interview
AAMET What was the motivation behind the creation of the Body Code System? Dr Nelson As time went on, and my practice grew, my patients problems seemed to increase in complexity as my ability to help them increased. The last 10 years that I spent in practice I specialized in working with people who were suffering from conditions that were considered incurable by Western medicine, complex problems like fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, lupus, and even cancer. I consistently told these patients, I dont treat diseases. I dont claim to cure diseases. I believe that the symptoms that you are having are because of imbalances that are going on in your body. If we can find those imbalances and fix them, perhaps your symptoms will go away. And go away they did. During those years, I saw patients with these difficult problems from all over the US and Canada. The vast majority of them got well, and quite rapidly. I didnt end up helping everyone, and my success rate was not 100%, but it was very close to 100%. Somewhere along the line I developed this very powerful feeling that people could do a lot to help themselves. I had this deep, driving urge to empower people. I began teaching seminars to do just that in 1998, and taught as many seminars to as many people as I could around the US and Canada for many years. But I was wearing myself out. I was working in my practice 60 hours a week and then flying off on weekends teaching seminars, and my family was suffering for it. In 2002 I got a message from upstairs that I needed to turn my practice over to someone else, sell everything I owned, and write a book about this. It had become clear to me that these healing methods that I developed were not just for my patients or me. These healing methods that I had developed were for the whole world.

Because of my years as a computer programmer I was always trying to combine the use of a computer with the healing work that I was doing. The Body Code was developed in response to my need to figure out what was really wrong with people in the absolute shortest timeframe possible. I ran my practice in such a way that I had about 10 minutes per patient visit. That might not seem like a whole lot of time, and its not. I knew other holistic practitioners who would easily spend an hour with a patient. But I had a secret weapon, and that was the ability to access their subconscious mind through muscle testing. As time went on, I developed a mind mapping system that was perfect for my needs, and that enabled me to drill down and find the underlying issues as rapidly as humanly possible. After The Emotion Code was published, I had a vague idea in the back of my mind that I would eventually teach The Body Code System to doctors. Although I had taught most of it in seminars before, I had no plans to teach it again, as I was putting all of my effort into getting The Emotion Code out to the world. However, that was about to change.

THE INTERVIEW
One early morning in August of 2008, I woke up to find my mind full of a very specific instruction. The instruction was to, Take all the information that you have gained, take everything that you have learned about healing, and put it into a self-study course that anyone can learn, and make it available to everyone, everywhere. Its hard to describe how crystal-clear this instruction was. There was no question that this is what I was supposed to do. Yet for just a moment the thought of how much work this was going to be made me look upward and ask, Are you sure about this? (There was no response to this question, but I wasnt expecting one, really.) I spent the next year working non-stop on The Body Code. I would start working on it before the sun was up and often still be working on it after midnight. I believe that The Body Code System is the most advanced method of energetic healing and of natural healing that exists on the planet today. Its really amazing. And while I would love to take credit for it, I will never do that, because I believe that Im just the messenger. I believe that everything that has happened to me in my life has prepared me to be this messenger, to bring The Body Code System to the world, to bring The Emotion Code to the world, to give back the healing birthright that belongs to every single one of us, to turn us back into the healers that we are capable of being.

the condition of their lives and adding vibrancy to their everyday experience of life. What if you could do all of this from anywhere in the world with no need to be in physical contact with the other person? That is the secret behind The Body Code System. Put simply the secret is this: The human body holds all of the answers that we need to help it function at its absolute peak. The Body Code combines the proven techniques of muscle testing computer programming to unlock the hidden healing power of the subconscious mind. It is simple yet incredibly powerful.

What is the difference between the Body Code System and other energy therapies, such as EFT?
AAMET Dr Nelson The Body Code System enables anyone to practice the art of healing in a very holistic, very complete way. It relies entirely on the subconscious mind, on the spirit intelligence within, to determine what needs to be done for the client. As practitioners, I think we all realize that peoples problems are not always emotionally based, although the majority of problems are. But what if your client has a lowgrade infection? Low-grade infections very often are undetected by Western medical procedures, yet they can cause a lot of trouble. What if your patient is suffering from heavy metal toxicity, structural misalignment, nutritional deficiencies, Meridian imbalances and so on? What if what you are currently doing is not enough to get to the roots of whats wrong with your client? This is precisely where The Body Code System comes in. The Body Code System is really the result of my training and work as a computer programmer, combined with the unlimited power of the subconscious mind. When you access the subconscious mind, youre tapping into the most powerful computer that we know of, a computer that holds all the answers, a computer that knows with a perfect understanding what your client really needs.

that fit in?

Dr Nelson Just as trapped emotions are a form of energy, magnets provide a convenient, concentrated source of countering energy. I discovered that passing a magnet down the governing Meridian a few times will instantly and permanently release the trapped emotional energy from the body. When I made this discovery, I was using the magnets that are made by Nikken, the Japanese wellness company. For a number of years I thought that those magnets had to be used, that no other magnets would work. But after trying all kinds of magnets, with all kinds of strengths and polarities, I now realize that any magnet will work, even a refrigerator magnet. And if you dont have a magnet, you can simply use your fingertips, as the body itself is magnetic. You see, the governing Meridian is an energy reservoir that connects to all the other meridians. When a trapped emotion is ready to be released, a few swipes of the magnet down the governing Meridian, coupled with your intention to release the trapped emotion, is all that it takes. Its incredibly simple and incredibly fast.

Dr Nelson Another very exciting new technology that is now available is found in zero-point energy devices. Zero-point energy is the energy that surrounds and is between all the atoms and subatomic particles of the universe. Indeed, zero-point energy fills the immensity of space. Your body, like everything else that exists, is filled with this particular kind of energy. It seems that certain crystals, when pressurized and treated in a particular way, resonate very powerfully with the frequency of zero-point energy. I have used zero-point devices with great success. Not only are zero-point devices easy to use and very effective for releasing trapped emotions, they often have an astonishing ability to reduce discomfort and restore balance and function to imbalanced tissues, much like the magnets manufactured by Nikken. I have witnessed enough success stories to know for myself that this is a very exciting technology that releases trapped emotions fully as well as any magnet, and often works to release discomfort and improve healing in many cases.

AAMET What is your vision for the future of healing and how does your work fit in with that? Dr Nelson I cant tell you how excited I am about the present age that we are living in. I believe that we are on the verge of a time when healers of all types will work together for the benefit of their patients. As we finally begin to wrap our heads around the true nature of our existence as energetic beings, and as we finally understand that the answers to our illnesses lie within our own subconscious minds, as we finally realize that we can access those answers simply and easily through these technologies, the world cant help but change for the better. As Dr. Mehmet Oz stated recently, Energy medicine is the future of all medicine. I would humbly add, The Emotion Code and The Body Code are the future of energy medicine.

Cradle Cap
by Gaetana Tonti

I did not know what cradle cap was until the birth of my son I was surprised by all those patches on his head and after discussing them with a worried voice with many mums I found out what it was.

AAMET

LIFE

JANUARY 2013 www.aamet.org 25

What conventional Medicine says..

According to a conventional medical definition, Cradle cap (infantile or neonatal seborrhoeic dermatitis, also known as crusta lactea, milk crust, honeycomb disease) is a yellowish, patchy, greasy, scaly and crusty skin rash that occurs on the scalp of recently born babies. It is usually not itchy, and does not bother the baby. Cradle cap most commonly begins sometime in the first 3 months. Similar symptoms in older children are more likely to be dandruff than cradle cap. The rash is often prominent around the ears, the eyebrows or the eyelids. It may appear in other locations as well, where it is called seborrhoeic dermatitis rather than cradle cap. It is extremely common, with about half of all babies affected. Most of them have a mild version of the disorder and severe cradle cap is rare.

What conventional Medicine cant explain..

As we can see, many babies are affected by it and interestingly DOCTORS ARE NOT IN AGREEMENT AS TO THE CAUSES OF IT; the two most common hypotheses include fungal infection and overactive sebaceous glands, while it is excluded that cradle cap is caused by a bacterial infection, allergy, nor from poor hygiene. However, this condition will clear as the baby matures. Nevertheless it can occasionally persist into the toddler years, and less commonly into later childhood. It sometimes tends to recur in adolescence and may persist into adulthood.

My problems on your head

I was listening to many mums speaking about what they did for their little babies affected by cradle cap. Someone was just gently washing the head of the child, others were applying various oils, lotions, petroleum jelly up to the use of anti-fungal compounds. What did I do?! I thought of using Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) alongside with MetaMedicine and see what would happen.

Meta-Medicine is a diagnostic approach that helps to understand the causes of individuals health issues. It is not a therapy, but it does precede any therapy; it is a model that integrates mind-body-spirit and social environment and is a scientific approach that finds and explains the root causes of a dis-ease. A scientific approach that explains the cause and meaning of any illness or dis-ease. It is based on scientific research via brain CT scans and set of 10 guiding principles. Conventional medicine does not have a conclusive understanding of WHY an illness develops and we rely on someone else to heal us; besides, it does not always work. We all are individuals, with our personal history, emotions, feelings, fears and we all react differently to situations. Meta-Medicine helps us to find the reason of dis-eases within ourselves. In this way we become responsible for our own wellbeing. Meta-Medicine (META from the Greek beyond) entails healing and personal development. It goes beyond alternative treatments by determining and treating the root causes of illness. Nature does not make mistakes and we should not consider an illness as something wrong, but rather as a message from our body, telling us that we need to understand why we get that health issue, and why our body reacts in that specific way.

Meta-Medicine and EFT: it takes two to tango

I started tapping on myself in connection to my baby son and see what would come up. I was amazed as what emerged was my fear of not being able to connect with my child and not being able to understand him, his needs and who he is, with the consequence of being detached and far from him and not having a close and understanding relationship. I did a couple of EFT sessions over two days and the cradle cap completely disappeared. This was at the same time amazing and beautiful and it totally fitted with the Meta-Medicine model. For Meta-medicine the epidermis (or outer layer of the skin) where cradle cap occurs - is related to an issue of separation, of loss (or perceived loss) of contact; also the location is important: in this case, on the scalp, it could be related to an intellectual separation. This made perfect sense to me. Even before the birth of my child, during pregnancy, I had the fear of not being able to be connected with him, not so much on the physical level, but mainly on the intellectual, spiritual one. And of course, as he was born, my fear remained as at times it was really difficult to understand what a crying baby would need This was not referred only to not being able to understand his material needs, but mainly to what he would need as a human being, as a soul living on this earth and trying to become who he is meant to be. My main thought was not being able to understand him, connect with him and be by his side during his life.

Deeper in the skin of MetaMedicine

For Meta-Medicine each disease process is characterized by 2 phases: the first active phase which corresponds to the stress phase, and the second passive phase where we are in regeneration. Related to the skin, in the first phase we would find symptoms such as pale, rough, cold skin, with reduced sensitivity, scaling neurodermatitis, dandruff. Why does this happen? Lets think of the function of the skin: it is our boundary and it separates (and at the same time) connects us with the environment and with people. When a traumatic/stressful event happens, what we want to do is to avoid that negative feeling, so in this case we dont want to feel separated so our skin loses its sensitivity, it becomes cold, less alive. On the other side, in the second phase (regeneration phase when we want to connect again) the skin needs to increase its activity (to be able to feel again the contact) so it becomes hot, red and swells, with exanthema, dermatitis, urticaria or eczema, and of course, presence of microbes (in particular, if there is a fungus the skin has a red base).

The information is in the field

I find it very interesting that what I feel and fear, my energy and my projections, can so strongly and directly influence my child, not only during his first years but also during his life in the womb. My baby has now just a little patch of cradle cap on the right said of his head maybe this time his dad should tap on it (if he is right wired, it is likely to be linked to his father), so lets see what will happen!

ARE WE ALL PSYCHIC? Working Intuitively with EFT

by Katie Vereshchaka
www.supercucha.com
m an EFT practitioner and a practicing intuitive. Its a winning combination. Intuition can reveal which areas an EFT professional might target for tapping. I never know what information Ill receive during a session. Starting with prayer assures me that Ill receive what information I need for that client, for that session. One of my most memorable sessions was the summer of 2011, with a young man whom Ill call Daniel. I was visiting a friend in my childhood Washington, D.C. neighborhood. Her son had a visitor, Daniel. I noticed this young man cringe with pain whenever hed move his body. I inquired. Daniel explained that hed been injured in a car accident several years before, and was taking medication, but still in intense pain. It struck me that he, at twentyfive years old, sure was young to keep this pain in his body, and I wondered why he wouldnt heal. I suggested that I may be able to help, and explained a little about EFT. He was willing. We tapped together while the others observed.

with Daniel, Im getting something about you ... regarding a sister .. something when you were four years old. Do you have a sister? Affirmative. Daniel then told me his sister was born three days after his fourth birthday. I asked, Was she a sickly child? He replied, She was a premature baby. Jackpot! I knew in that moment we were headed for a successful session. I suggested to Daniel that he held onto a belief, all of these years, that the way to get love was by being sick. We used statements of being sick means getting love, I have to suffer if I want attention, and anything else that fit the scenario. At this point, the pain was leaving really quickly. We tapped out the old belief that no longer served, and used truer statements of I can be pain free and receive love, I can feel good in my body and receive care from others, I am ready to release this pain, I believe differently now.

After an hour and a half of EFT, Daniel was pain free. We checked each area, each one was at zero. Jaws were dropped. I was humbled. God was at When we started, on a scale from zero to ten, he was at work. Daniel had a reason for keeping his pain, a a pain level of ten plus. It hurt in a few places including reason of which he wasnt aware. When we took leg and shoulder, traveling as we tapped.

elf Sabotage Prevents Recovery from Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome (PTSD). PTSD was diagnosed in at least 11-40% of Veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. 70% of adults in the U.S. have experienced some type of traumatic event at least once in their lives. Thats 223.4 million people. Up to 20% of these people go on to develop PTSD. As of today, thats 31.3 million people who did or are struggling with PTSD. Throughout my 36 years of experience in psychiatric practice I became absolutely convinced that people cannot completely heal if they subconsciously feel they dont deserve to heal, others dont deserve it, or it is not safe for them to get over the trauma. I get to the subconscious in a few minutes to detect the blockages. Then I use my Sabotage Correction Technique to get them unstuck. I worked with a soldier, Jonathan, with a few years history of PTSD, with the classical symptoms of nightmares, flashbacks, emotional numbness, and dissociation from life. He had been in therapy twice a week with a psychologist in the last four years and was on a whole cocktail of medications. With all this his condition had not improved, and he had not functioned at work or socially. The first thing I did with him was to check using Energy Muscle Testing (EMT) when he said the statement, I deserve to get over the trauma. The muscle was strong, indicating, against my guess, that he did not have survival guilt, like many other soldiers Ive treated. Yet the muscle was weak when he said, Others deserve for me to get over the trauma. The first culprit was obviously his commander. Indeed the muscle was very weak when Jonathan stated, My commander deserves for me to get over the trauma.

As we talked, it became apparent to me why Jonathan was angry at his lieutenant. The order that was given did not make any sense to me. It did not make sense to Jonathan, nor did it make sense to his friends in the special unit. The order unnecessarily put the soldiers lives at risk. It was not only my judgment that it was a bad order, according to Jonathan, the captain was also angry at the lieutenant for giving this order and chewed him out loudly and passionately about it. Yet, in the long run, the lieutenant was promoted and is now a colonel. On a conscious level, Jonathan was not angry at the lieutenant. He said, It was as in war. He rationalized even the fact that he was promoted and achieved a higher rank so quickly. He said, The lieutenant was macho, tough and without sentiments; the material good commanders are made of. When I heard about the order, I became very upset and angry. Surely it put a few soldiers at risk, when it was possible to proceed in a more cautious way. Soon, I noticed that Jonathan was not in touch with any of his emotions. He could not get in touch with the fear he felt at that time and with the anguish he felt about one of his fellow soldiers, David, who was killed in that mission. Jonathan was totally detached from his feelings. He said he actually remembers a certain moment during combat that he felt so emotionally overwhelmed with fear that he felt he was disconnected, like he was looking at himself from the outside. Since that time, he could not feel anything. He refused to talk about what happened. This emotional numbness and disconnect is a classic presentation disassociation.

It is uncomfortable to be there and it is hot . So now we do a round of tapping using standard EFT for the imagery she experienced: Even though there is a heart surrounded by a black slimy mass and its really uncomfortable and hot, I truly and deeply accept myself I take her exact words and put them into EFT. There is no discussion or interpretation of the imagery that would be like interrogating the go-between. As the practitioner I do not introduce anything, I just keep the process going, letting her manage the content and we simply let the tapping do the work. After we tap, I ask her to take the light and her imagination inside again. Marga: When I enter again there is more space, it is less hot and uncomfortable. The heart in the middle is still there and the black slimy things have turned into red.

Most insurance companies will offer a blanket cover that includes above plus equipment etc. Remember to check all the therapies you are using are included and what restrictions there may be. Discounted Insurance: If youre a member of AAMET International (www.aamet.org) you can benefit from the discounted policy cover with Balens Insurance Co (http://www.balens.co.uk) who have been running the family business for over 60 years.
