Most of us were taught that the brain is where all memories are stored... like some gigantic hard drive keeping track of everything that happens to us. Yet, scientists now realize that there are "thinking" cells throughout our body, including in the gut.

A more accurate holistic viewpoint of memories is that they are stored and remembered by our "body-mind" -- an integrated, intertwined network of ALL our physical tissues (including the brain, of course) as well as our non-physical human energy field.

When we remember a specific event from our past, we literally re-create aspects of the sights, sounds, smells, emotions, and energies of the event. Our entire Being is affected. When you remember an event where there was great joy, your whole Being vibrates joy. Remember an event where there was terror, and your body-mind vibrates terror... including all the bio-chemicals that go along with terror.

For your health and well-being, you also need to understand that most of our "remembering" is not conscious. When we're driving a car, we don't have to actively remember how to drive... it just happens automatically. As we move through life, every situation causes our body-mind to react automatically... in both negative and positive ways.

Don't believe me? Well, have you ever been surprised by how you behaved with a certain person, only to realize later that the person reminded you of someone from your past? Maybe it was his look... or his attitude... or his smell... or his ENERGY.

I had a client on the massage table, and when I moved her leg into a certain position, her whole body started to shake uncontrollably. I asked her, "What is this position reminding you of?" She immediately remembered a trauma experienced many years earlier. She said, "I thought I had dealt with that!" as part of working with a psychotherapist. She had... on several levels... yet, her body-mind held onto an association that when her leg was moved to a certain position, something horrible was about to happen. No, it's not "logical," but the feelings are certainly real! (It also explained why she had such irrational fear when doing certain pleasurable activities when her leg would go into that position.)

And this is where EFT comes in. By tapping on the specific event... including the story of what happened, the sights, sounds, smells, physical sensations, and the emotions that come up in your body... you can completely and permanently shift how your body-mind responds to similar stimuli now and in the future.

What's even more exciting is that you free up energy that was being held in stressful ways in your body and your thoughts. That freed up energy can be used by your body for restoration of health. For example, I used EFT with that client on that specific trauma, and the chronic physical pains and weakness she had with that leg and hip finally started to heal deeply and completely.

Our pain relief tip:

When you feel painful emotions or physical suffering, ask "What specific event does this most remind me of?" Diligently use EFT tapping on that event to bring yourself relief. It need not be a logical association, either. Take what event your intuition gives you... and tap on it!

Because EFT involves both physical tapping on natural comfort points on the body along with spoken statements, EFT reaches both the physical and energetic aspects of a negative memory. In our experience when a specific event has been addressed thoroughly with EFT, you can remember the event itself but it no longer has a negative emotional charge to it.

Note to members: Carol has recorded a 9-minute EFT audio and script to help you do your Tapping on Specific Events. You will identify a specific event, note how intense it feels in your body-mind right now when you recall it, tap along with Carol, and then check the intensity again. You may notice that different "aspects" come up (pictures, smells, feelings) each time you tap. That is normal! Take each new aspect that comes up, and tap along with the recording again:
