A new focus on Responsibility & Interaction

Thu, 20 Aug 2009 22:31:46 GMT

clipped by: thetappingman
clipper's remarks: Thankfully a change in the thinking about whether personality disorder labels are useful and how focusing on interactions of a group can help change.

Clip Source: sfworkblog.wordpress.com

whole notion of personality disorder… these are attempts by the medical fraternity to grab ownership of a problem which is actually a social problem that emerges within individuals and between individuals in the context of the way society deals with them and what they are allowed to get away with, so it’s that whole process we have to recognise, not just thinking of particular individuals that in some way have some mechanisms within them that are disturbed and bent

The whole of the social sciences and medical professions drift into implying that they are absolving people by attempts to explain the causes of these horrific actions as something outside of the choices these individuals make. They talk about the genetics or their upbringing or their hormonal system or a brain disorder or whatever - all of these imply that somehow or other these individual doesn’t make a choice, and what the law is very clear about is that individuals have responsibilities for their own actions

Positive Psychology meets a growing desire for happiness

"To see this number of people here 10 years after Marty [Seligman] founded positive psychology is a remarkable achievement," Ed Diener, a professor of psychology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and president of the association, told the enthusiastic crowd. "We've made huge inroads."

In his presidential address, he argued that psychology had become one-sided, and urged his colleagues to give as much attention to human strengths—such as optimism, courage, and perseverance—as to mental illnesses and disorders. He was interested not just in helping people enjoy their lives but in fostering "authentic happiness," rooted in social and civic well-being.

"We can articulate a vision of the good life that is empirically sound and, at the same time, understandable and attractive," he said in his address. "We can show the world what actions lead to well-being, to positive individuals, to flourishing communities, and to a just society."

Wall Street Journal: Alternative Medicine is Now Mainstream

'Alternative' Medicine Is Mainstream

The evidence is mounting that diet and lifestyle are the best cures for our worst afflictions.

The latest scientific studies show that our bodies have a remarkable capacity to begin healing, and much more quickly than we had once realized, if we address the lifestyle factors that often cause these chronic diseases.

A recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that these approaches may even change gene expression in hundreds of genes in only a few months. Genes associated with cancer, heart disease and inflammation were downregulated or "turned off" whereas protective genes were upregulated or "turned on."

At least 75% of these costs were spent on treating chronic diseases, such as heart disease and diabetes, that are preventable or even reversible.

Are you an expert on your problem or your solution?

Many of us have at least one area of our lives that seems to defy change. We have tried every healing modality, self-help technique, positive thinking, mainstream and complementary treatment yet nothing seems to make a dent on this problem for us. In this article, I’ll show you how to ask a different a question that is solutions-focused and apply EFT to the answers.

How would I know if this issue was no longer a problem for me?

The Myth of Total Responsibility is Busted

Tue, 28 Oct 2008 12:18:21 GMT

clipped by: thetappingman
clipper's remarks: Such a wonderful straight foward practical article that cuts through the new-age crap to what we can and can't take responsibility for in our reality.

Clip Source: www.eftdownunder.com

The total responsibility theory holds that no matter where you are, no matter what your circumstances, that you caused it, you are totally 100% responsible. The extreme version of this philosophy holds that everyone everywhere is where they are because they choose (or chose) to be there, and this even includes victims of genocide and natural disasters…

This uncompassionate narcissistic tripe is causing a huge amount of unnecessary suffering to people all over the world. Everywhere I go I see people who, if they get cancer, now have to ask, “What did I do to cause this?” And if they don’t ask that, they can be sure that some uncompassionate stranger or false friend will ask a question like it…

Let’s challenge some of the assumptions of the total responsibility philosophy …

The Real Power of Listening

clipper's remarks: Truly listening to someone can been transformational for them without any fancy intervention techniques

Clip Source: www.tap4health.com

Have you every really listened to someone without judgment, without opinion, without the need for a solution? Have you ever been listened to this way? Listening is the oldest form of therapy yet can be profoundly powerful as a stand alone technique. Giving someone your complete, undivided, non-judgemental attention, is also known as witnessing.

Yet this is sometimes not what was wanted nor even needed most of the time.

Instead, I gave people my full undivided attention and listened without judgement and with full empathy and acknowledgement of their situation, their issue, and of them as a human being. This profound present state of listening can be transformational for the one being listened to.

I once explained this form of listening in a seminar and one woman humorously exclaimed “If my husband listened to me in this way, I’d think he was having an affair!” In our busy lives we may need to make the time to serve as a witness for someone’s story.

Using EFT for Whiplash

Tue, 24 Jun 2008 03:11:23 GMT

clipped by: thetappingman

Clip Source: www.tap4health.com

Symptoms reported by sufferers of Whiplash include: pain and aching to the neck and back, referred pain to the shoulders, sensory disturbance (such as pins and needles) to the arms & legs and headaches.

I treated people with Whiplash from 30 years ago to 2 days ago. One person had experienced a head ache for 10 years after a car accident. For each person, using 5-10 minutes of EFT, they were able to completely relieve the neck and back pain associated with the whiplash. (Bet the car and medical insurance companies want to know about EFT now!)

If you have ever experience a car accident or similar trauma to neck and spine be sure to apply EFT to the memory even if you have no obvious symptoms. Your body remembers the trauma and may still be compensating. Here's an EFT sequence that can get you started (use this tapping points guide):

The myth of genetics is busted!

Fri, 30 May 2008 22:53:12 GMT

clipped by: thetappingman
clipper's remarks: Forget what the media tells you about a gene for this disease and a gene for that disease. You can control the expression of your genes.

Clip Source: www.opednews.com

While the current medical/science model is entrenched in Newtonian physics, and is based on matter, to the exclusion of invisible forces, Epigenetics has emerged as a quantum science.

According to Soul Medicine Institute (SMI), “Epigenetics is the new science describing influences that alter the expression of genes.” Epi- means above; so epigenetic means control of DNA from above or outside the gene. SMI notes that, “New research shows that consciousness (beliefs, feelings, prayer, energy, thought) may have epigenetic effects.”

However, the new science of epigenetics tells us that “genes are merely blueprints, and it is the environment … that determines genetic expression,[3]” according to cellular biologist Bruce Lipton, Ph.D.

Why we are watching less television

Clip Source: www.lifehacker.com.au

Where do people find the time to do things like edit the Wikipedia? They watch less television, says author Clay Shirky in a fantastic, brief talk at the recent Web 2.0 conference. Shirky makes a compelling case that people are just learning how to deal with the "cognitive surplus" of free time modern life affords us. We're waking up from the "collective bender" of mindlessly watching sitcoms and instead, we're choosing instead to spend our free time volunteering, interacting, and Web 2.0'ing online. Hit the play button to watch Shirky make his case for the full effect, or hit the link below to read the text transcript of his talk. Next time your TV-watching friends make fun of you for opting to blog instead, point 'em to this talk.

Clearing Allergies with EFT

Clearing Allergies with EFT

Allergies have been described as "a phobia of the immune system". Given how effective EFT is at clearing phobias, it's a small step to using EFT to clear allergies.

One of the best ways I know to clear an allergy with EFT is to have the thing your allergic to, the allergen, physically in your presence while tapping. With a client who was allergic to wheat, we used wheat flour and held it in a glass while they tapped. Remember, if you are allergic to the touch of the something, protect yourself from it initially until you feel comfortable testing direct contact.

I'll give a very basic procedure here. For more detailed information, the EFT DVD Set EFT Speciality Series 2 contains two in-depth presentations on using EFT for allergies.
