Emotional Freedom Technique And Its Benefits  http://learntruehealth.com/emotional-freedom-technique Emotional Freedom Technique includes acupressure in addition to elements of cognitive and exposure therapy. Seventy-two genes were significantly regulated. Emotional Freedom Techniques Research  I'm so excited to have award-winning author Dawson Church today to discuss the link between emotions and genetics. Emotional Freedom Techniques for posttraumatic stress disorder or PTSD are two studies Church conducted. They demonstrated highly significant results despite a small sample size, indicating a robust treatment effect. Scientific Research Regarding the Benefits of EFT, Epigenetics, Gene Expression and More Church says that there is a new science breakthrough. There is gene shifting expressing in new ways when we meditate or release emotions. We can see the body healing after we do these practices. "When we experience a bad thing and we're 25 years old, we have coping abilities. At 2 or 4 years old, traumas are laid out in the brain as ideas and experiences," Church explains. "They're laid down neurologically as wiring in parts of the brain that has to do with memory and learning." What exactly is Emotional Freedom Techniques? Church says Emotional Freedom Techniques is a combination of some very old and well-studied psychotherapy techniques. EFT is a powerful self-help method based on research showing that emotional trauma contributes greatly to disease. EFT tapping can reduce the emotional impact of memories and incidents that trigger emotional distress. Once the distress is reduced or removed, the body can often rebalance itself, and accelerate healing. "EFT uses elements of Cognitive Therapy and Exposure Therapy. Combined with Acupressure, it taps on 12 acupuncture points," explains Church. "Research has proved that EFT is effective for phobias, anxiety, depression, posttraumatic stress disorder, pain, and other problems." Proven Results I'm so moved with the results of Church's treatment. I hear these stories and testimonials of healing and I can't help but cry tears of joy. It's so amazing. "When we test people six months later or a year later, we find that all the psychological stress is gone. And Emotional Freedom Techniques breaks the associations," says Church. I love the fact that we can take our health into our own hands. And that we can heal wounds from the past. What I love about EFT is that it is being able to utilize the body to let it go. Because we store negative emotions in the body. Bias About Emotional Freedom Techniques Personally, I had a bias against EFT. Because I'm a health nut, I'm very into everything holistic. I started to believe it only when I had a friend who came back from EFT training. My friend asked me if I was upset with anyone and I did admit I felt anger towards someone for two years. I received treatment from my friend and shortly after, I felt the entire thing shift. It felt like a Novocane had taken over. I felt a numbness where the anger used to be. Eventually, I stopped thinking about that person altogether. Needless to say, my whole perception of EFT changed after my personal experience. The Genie in Your Genes Another intriguing fact is Church's claim that genes express differently.  There are so many components in gene expression and Church expounds on that in his book, The Genie in your Genes. Church says, " Your genes respond to your thoughts, emotions, and beliefs. The way you use your mind shapes your brain, turning genes on and off in ways that can dramatically affect your health and well-being." The book also reveals the exciting applications of the new science of Epigenetics to healing. Citing hundreds of scientific studies, Church shows how you can apply these discoveries in your own life. He explains how electromagnetic energy flows in your body and affects your cells. Church shows how your hormonal, neurological, connective tissue, and neurotransmitter systems all work i
