I just wanted to send some EFT info, next Meetup info and an update about the wonderful “Create Your Life” Vision Board Workshop we had in NYC on the 19th! I was so moved by folks getting clarity and purpose in their lives.
I am planning another because it was so awesome and I can’t wait to do another!!! Let me know if you are interested by sending me an email – it is life-changing!!! It’s amazing, making my own at home has already shifted aspects of my vision for the future beyond what I was allowing myself to dream.
Anything is possible! 🙂
Some kind words from Amber, one of the participants!
“I’m so grateful for Gail’s intuitive sense to know there is a need for a place to get clear with your visions and project into the universe and God what your life’s calling is. She provided all the tools physically, mentally and spiritually to open our minds and hearts”.
~ Amber Jones
June EFT Meet-Up
I am combining both the EFT- Emotional Freedom Techniques Tapping Group and the EFT-Tapping Group NYC for Performing Artists together for this Meetup. It doesn’t matter what issue we are tapping on, we can ‘borrow benefits’ from others for our own!
When: Wednesday June 13th
Where: 39 West 29th St. 2nd fl
Time: 6.00-8.00PM
Fee: $20
“I took away quite a few great things from your workshop (issues from ancestors, acknowledging/accepting and releasing with the tapping…). Today I had lessons in preparation for a competition we’re doing in May and I was able to let go, follow my teacher during the closed hold sections, feel the music and dance. It felt amazing! I appreciate your kindness and acceptance of everyone in the workshop”

EFT and Brain Waves
Here’s a great article from Gary Groesbeck, a biofeedback expert on the positive effects of EFT on our brainwaves:
Gary Groesbeck a Biofeedback specialist writes: We are seeing some very rapid and significant changes in the overall brain wave patterns that mirror the release of emotional issues during the EFT sessions. The heart monitoring has also shown instant, healthier responses to the resolution of emotions.
There are some important shifts that suggest an accelerated movement towards improved brain function using EFT. Initially, during the course of a session as personal issues are being resolved, we see a decrease in overall brain wave energy. This reduction in energy occurs more rapidly than in just a simple relaxation period, often within a single round of tapping. There are many in the field who feel that as the brain works more efficiently, the amount of energy in the cortex, or surface of the brain, decreases. This is exactly what we observe.
Along with this was an increase in brain symmetry, that is both sides of the brain, the hemispheres, begin to work together in a more balanced manner. People often have the mistaken assumption that they are either right brained or left brained, in truth we are both, and the two sides of the brain need to work together for optimal health and performance. This is what we see happening over the course of an EFT session, people have increased hemispheric integration or balance.
Next, we observed a general decrease of energy in the highest frequencies, sometimes called beta one and two. This band of energy is often associated with emotional intensity, anxiety, stress, negative ruminating and possible history of addictions. This energy band shows a decrease as emotional issues of the moment are released during tapping. As another layer of the story unfolds, beta can flare again as the new issue emerges, followed by more tapping, until it again is reduced to a new healthy level. This makes it possible to determine whether or not the person has another layer of issues to access for further tapping.
As people tune into their issues we also see an increase of energy flares in the slower frequencies called alpha and theta. These frequencies show an internal focus and the emergence of memories often associated with the symptoms at hand. Without an alpha bridge, emotional memories in the theta range are often lost, or remain unconscious. So it is important that we can see an increase of this alpha bridging occurring with the EFT. This allows people to more readily connect with the issues that need to be resolved. We can visibly see the theta brain wave spikes, even when the person may not be conscious of the emotional connection to what they are saying.
Finally, as core issues begin to be resolved we are able to see, in some people, the development of the pattern we call the high-performance mind also called the “Awakened Mind” pattern. This pattern occurs in moments of emotional, personal, creative, and spiritual insight. It is the pattern we see in long time meditators. It is the pattern of a brain that is humming along at optimal performance, like a well-tuned engine. It would appear that as EFT quickly aids in resolving long-term emotional issues it also can tune the brain to its highest levels of performance. Other measurements of the stress response, such as heart rate coherence, show reductions of stress, and an increase of healthy functioning on all levels.
