Brain Can Change Itself (with some help from us!)
Wonderful quote!
Norman Doidge, M.D., a neurologist at Columbia University and author of “The Brain That Changes Itself”sums it up nicely: “The discovery that the human brain can change its own structure and function with thought and experience, turning on its own genes to change its circuitry, reorganize itself, and change its operation, is the most important alteration in our understanding of the brain in four hundred years.”
And that’s what we do when we use EFT tapping - change our brain and change our DNA genes!
——
Example:
Tapping on how a mother was emotionally distant growing up would look totally different with each person/client because how that was felt or experienced is specific to the person who is tapping. We tap on events, events, events, neutralizing as we go along, step by step, day by day.
Tapping has a formula but it’s just that. A formula.
Chemistry and mathematics have formulas, too, but outcomes of both are dependent on what factors are attached to the formula!
Tapping outcomes differ between people, too, depending on multiple factors, but we plod on, tapping, doing the best we can.
If we hit a wall, time to call me for a referral to a Christian EFT practitioner!

Epigenetics and EFT
As I often do, I pulled out a copy of paragraphs of an article to comment on, but please read it in its entirety. It's not that long.
"We often do not take into account that epigenetically it has been shown that a father’s sperm literally carries the genetic residue of his traumatic experiences in addition to the life experiences of a mother who is carrying the eggs of her yet preconceived child. He references the traumatic lineage of affecting three generations with a singular traumatic event that is fascinating to really take into account."
My comment: This always amazes me as it confirms Scripture of the Exodus and Numbers references to the "sins of the fathers". Sins of the fathers isn't necessarily sins but epigenetic residues tagged ONTO DNA. DNA (gene) doesn't change, but they get tagged with a protein that marks them as important genetic information and is then passed down the generations. Some day I will take time and do a study of the OT word "sin" to see what God really meant here!
"Here are some questions from Mark’s book that you might ask yourself:
• Could you be feeling like, behaving like, suffering like, atoning for, or carrying the grief for someone who came before you?
• Do you have symptoms, feeling, or behaviors that are difficult to explain in the context of your life experience?
• Was there a trauma in the family (an early death of a parent, child, sibling or an abandonment, murder, crime, or suicide etc.), an event that was too terrible, painful or shameful to talk about?
• Could you be connected with that event, living a life similar to the person no one talks about?
• Could you be reliving this family member’s trauma as though it were your own? These kind of questions have us looking beyond our own life experiences and begin the expanded view of looking to how, for a variety of reasons, we have taken on a mission that in a sense has nothing to do with us."
My comment: When one understands emotionally that some of these questions are true in his or her life, most likely a Christian EFT Practitioner's help will be needed to dig to the bottom of the pain.
"Words act as carrier pigeons from the unconscious, fluttering forth with messages that need to be revealed, be it in metaphor or language that feels somehow estranged or belonging to another’s life experience."
My comment: I love this paragraph because METAPHORS and our OFT REPEATED comments or statements (or those of our family members) frequently give clues to what lies beneath the emotional surface. Pay attention to WHAT you say. If you have a saying you repeat over and over, tap and dig below it. Find why it is an important thing stuck in your vocabulary! And take some time this holiday season to ask older family members what life experiences they have had and what family stories they have been told. You might receive a greater gift that will expand your emotional healing than you ever imagined possible! God bless your healing!!

Epigenetics and Tapping
Epigenetics - have you ever heard the term? I wrote a a chapter on "Generational Curses" in the EFT for Christians book, Tapping into God's Peace & Joy, but it appears there is so much more going on here around "generational trauma". Exodus 34:6-7 is one set of the "sins of the father's" verses, among others. These incidents may not be "sins" per say, but trauma experienced decades or centuries ago by a family member.
Don't confuse these ideas with "past lives" as that is not what this is or what I am talking about here. There are studies, few done on humans because we live way longer than mice and nematodes (!) that show the memories live in the body anywhere from 3 to 14 generations after an ancestor experiences an untoward event IF the trauma hasn't been processed. Most of these studies looked at how traumas are transferred via male sperm because sperm are easier to study than female ovum. These types of traumas can be processed with EFT tapping and Matrix Reimprinting, the other EFT technique many of us use.
Bottom line here is some of our personal emotional issues simply may not even be our own, but DNA/RNA markers carried on our genes, as an unpleasant gift from one of forefathers or foremothers. The DNA doesn't change, but it does get a "marker" attached to it.
And using EFT tapping to thoroughly process the negative events/memories/feeling you experience could well save countless future generations the PAIN YOU ARE FEELING TODAY.
Give your kids a gift - tap and let the old stuff go!!

Epigenetics and Today's Societal Unrest
I enjoy going back to reread some of these older epigenetic articles. How much of today's unrest is rooted in past generations?
I quoted a small snippet for those who may not be familiar with epigenetics. Long, but good read, if you like the science of why we tap!
"Bygren and Pembrey proposed that epigenetic mechanisms were at work. Epigenetics, which means, literally, “above genes,” describes how genes are turned on and off by certain molecules that attach to them—called epigenetic marks. The marks essentially act like on/off switches for genes. The cells that make up your brain and your muscles all have the same DNA at their center, and yet the reason the cells lead entirely different lives involves how epigenetic marks turn on or off particular genes, giving the cells their own unique identities. That was known well prior to Bygren and Pembrey’s work. The stunning implication of the ALSPAC smoking data and the Överkalix data was that some important epigenetic marks that impact human health might not get wiped clear between generations, but might actually be passed down for multiple generations along with genes. Bygren finally published his initial Överkalix data in 2001, and he and Pembrey published their joint work in 2006, in the European Journal of Human Genetics. Meanwhile, transgenerational epigenetic inheritance was being definitively demonstrated in animals."
Please send me your thoughts about this article and how tapping can help Christians today release our emotional societal pain and allow God to be God. I'd love to hear from you!

Trauma Sensations Passed from Parents to Children
I believe the most interesting piece in this above article is the epigenetic part and it is we probably something we should consider.
Often because of the DNA coding we receive from our parents, our emotional symptoms begin to show up at the same age as a trauma was EXPERIENCED by our parents.
Because of this we ought to consider sitting down with our parents and asking pertinent questions about whats and when around their negative life events.
Get a family emotional history compiled. If not for you, for your children, so should the kids experience unexpected emotional stuff, you will have an idea where it all began.
Several epigenetic studies show these emotionally compelling events travel down the genetic DNA line for multiple generations.
So, what this means today is this - all personal emotional trauma we clear, we are probably clearing it out of the DNA for our children and our grandchildren.
Sometimes that is the BEST reason to tap! You might feel you are able to handle the emotional pain, but what about the future generations??? Can they?

EFT & Cellular Receptors
What if?
We have 50 to 100 trillion cells in our bodies and each cell has 50,000 to 100,000 cellular receptors on it (I can't even imagine how tiny those are!).
Many cellular receptors are monogamous, taking in only one nutrient. There are thousands of peptides, hormones, and neurotransmitters alone, let alone vitamins, minerals, and all the various micro nutrients the scientist have yet to find.
So, what happens when these cellular receptors get clogged up with emotional gunk? Nothing! They become useless, no longer functioning or taking in essential nutrients for the cell to function properly and stay healthy.
I'm a great supporter of complementary medicine, obviously, and supplements often are a part of that, but if we take a ton of a supplement, but the receptor is blocked, it won't help us at all.
I think cellular receptors are a part of why EFT works so well.
Tap, lose your emotional baggage, and then supplement your body, feeding it what it needs to get healthy again.
And then......what about the idea of transmutation? If the receptor is clogged, it has to interfere with the
chemical stuff going on inside the cell.
Is this why our disease DNA get turned on? Epigenetics comes into play here and now.
I suspect this could be one of the very simplest ideas of why EFT works physiologically.
EFT is not a substitute for medical care. Please take responsibility for your own personal health!
