Harvard Medical Schools Studies and the Brain’s Stress Response

Studies at Harvard Medical School have revealed that by stimulating the body’s meridian points- the same spots on your body that are manipulated by acupuncturists- you can significantly reduce activity in a part of the brain called amygdala. Think of your amygdala as a personal alarm system. When you experience trauma or fear,the amygdala is triggered and your body is flooded with cortisol,the “stress hormone”. This intricate chain reaction,your stress response, significantly influences and sometimes even causes whatever it is that troubles you;whether it is illness,injury or even an external problem such as your finances or relationships. These studies show that by stimulating these parts of your body, as we do in EFT Tapping,you can drastically reduce or eliminate the distress that accompanies or gives rise to these problems you face. By doing so,you can often eliminate the problems themselves!
