"The keys to your brain function are the chemical messengers of mind and mood called neurotransmitters.
Trillions of nerve cells, called neurons, are scattered throughout your body, but are most highly concentrated in the brain {Sherrie's note - some say there are more in the gut than the brain}.
The 'sending' neuron produces the neurotransmitter {of the hundreds of neurotransmitters, the best known are dopamine, serotonin, adrenaline, endorphins, & GABA} propelling it toward the 'receiving' neuron, across a small gap called a synapse.
Each neuron, on average, makes more than 1000 synaptic connections with other neurons. In total, there may be between 100 trillion and quadrillion synapses in the brain. Moreover, these synapses are not random but form patterns that give rise to what are called circuits {neural connections or neural pathways} in the brain. These form the basis of behavior and of mental life."
The Addicted Brain by Hyla Cass, M.D. pages 20-21
When we discuss the "generalization" effect in EFT it now makes sense in light of this description. When we tap and break some neural connection, it affects up to another 1000 synaptic connections with other neural circuits or neural pathways.
This is why bad habits or thoughts often disappear on their own when tapping about something else totally unrelated to the topic!
Isn't it amazing what God has done in our bodies when He created us to heal?
Remember, EFT is not a substitute for sound medical care, so please contact your own personal physician for any medical or psychological help.
