Mr. G. read preamble
Ellen: come to my Egypt party this Friday, any time after 5:;00, pot luck, then slides and talk about my trip. Edie Moore is co-host.
Mira: tonight Jennifer Bruner debate in Oakley.
Carolyn: on news tonight, 79% in cinti. Area believe the Republicans could do a better job.
Julia: DNA is not destiny. It is your epigenes which are in charge of your health ... We do not have to be a victim of our genotype. Foods... Stress hormones ... Damage can be passed on... Cancers, diabetes, other illness.
TILL SCHILLING: the EFT Technique (Emotional Freedom Technique)
Thank you...
Why it is I do this EFT rather than practicing pharmacy where I could have a more abundant material life?.
I went into pharmacy because I wanted to be in the healing business.
Regulatory agencies are now running the practice of pharmacy. All based on good intentions. Now M.D.’s and pharmacists are narrowed in what they can do because of insurance and regulation.
Now entering a huge epidemic ...
People taking more meds than they need; Drs have less and less time to reach a real diagnosis. So they prescribe.
I don’t want to fight with the systems.
I looked to see if there are alternatives. I started studying nutrition... But still wasn’t getting to the bottom. Next step: get to the mind. But at any moment in time you have access in principle to the full capacity of your brain. Some people can do this.
Conscious vs subconscious
I will introduce you tonight to EFT, briefly, that makes a bridge between conscious and subconscious. I don’t know how it works, but like my cell phone, I use it. We go in an rewire something that is holding us back.
Dawson Church The genie in your genes On Epigenetics ... It is our emotions which turn genes on and off, especially emotions that persist for a long period of time.
Twin studies ... At age 80 the are shown to be remarkably different. How you view life, how you carry yourself in life.
Exercise on breathing:
Tune in a little to how yu are feelingin your bodies. Any aches and pains? Thoughts racing thru mind?
Subjective Units of Distress scale
Take deep breath. How much of potential capacity?
Tap on various points ...
Then take deep breath. (Several people at the table experienced significantly increased breath.)
Doing this tapping also really calms me down. If something happens that bothers me, I tap and I am ok.
Our minds are unbelievable powerful...
Over half of you have experience some change.
Another round... “Even tho I have increased my breathing capacity a little bit...I know I can do much better...I know my lungs have the ability to take in all the air they need. I am open to the possibility of letting that happen, because truth be told, good breathing is the ultimate medicine. Good breathing cleans our blood. Cells with lots of oxygen allow for fantastic metabolism. So I know my lungs can do better, they were designed for that, and I know I am OK.
Oh these lungs, increasing the air intake, thise beautiful lungs of mine, working all day long for me, when was the last time I was grateful for them? The lungs need oxygen too. Thank you Lungs, for this fantastic job you do... I really appreciate ... These beautiful lungs of mine ... And I fully and deeply love and respect my lungs.
Everybody has had a little bit of a shift.
When we tap we are connecting with our energy systems.
Based on acupuncture meridians.
Our bodies work with electricity, subtle ways. Meridians have a lot to do with this electricity.
After a scare, many chemicals rush thru your body. People are different in what frightens them... Snakes, mice, ... It is how we perceive things.
There are two basic fears: of falling, of loud noises. All others are learned fears.
During our lives, we collect meanings for things. No problem until you are getting sick over it.
Ulcer patients come to me who cannot get relief. We find out what is causing the heartburn. Psychological situations; meanings being attributed to events in their lives. And feelings of helplessness. Then... Symptoms.
“Even tho I have this ulcer, I am really OK. Other than the Ulcer, I am doing fine.” “If that ulcer could be somebody, who is it?” “my boss!” then we use tapping to reduce the intensity ... The meaning of the stimulus has dropped. New thought pathways are built.
Many studies have attempted to prove this in a medical way. However, there is no way yet to look into the electrical nature of the body.
When I was studying nutrition, analyzed live blood samples, dark field ... Red blood cells are not always uniformly round and healthy; sometimes distorded shapes. Can be changed in 3 months of supplements. An investigator analyzed blood, did tapping, energy system change, and within 2 minutes the blood image changed remarkably. I could hardly believe it!
I went to TX and studied with Dr. Patricia Felicity and watched her as she tested my blood and did tapping with me. Within two minutes ... My diet was whatever I liked to eat. Before I did the tapping, my blood looked not so good. In twominutes of tapping, then retested and my blood became textbook perfect. You can see videos about EFT and Blood on YouTube.
I was so deeply shaken by that visit. I was a highly trained pharmacist ...
Just by reducing what is eating away at you, you can change your emotional state, and get immediate physical results.
EFT = emotional freedom technique. You can be in charge of your emotions under any and all circumstances.
Story about the Teddy Bear. My daughter sewed buttons on a teddy bear. Now I am a Teddy Bear salesman.
A friend, another EFT practitioner, connected the bear and the tapping and blood images. IN Mexico you can just walk into hospitals... Started tapping with children with cancer etc. Worked with the parents of cancer kids. ... The energy that surrounds the patient, and the parents ... Changes so much that children have started recovering twice as fast. E.g. Reducing a child’s fear of needles for a spinal tap from a terrified 10 to a 4, for instance.
In CA at a ranch, group of 50 veterans from Iraq war. So many suicides. More than the deaths in Iraq. 5 days of EFT training. Strict testing. Guys were transformed; dramatic change. The New Hampshire national guard is hiring EFT practitioners to work on returning people.
ADD children, calm down with EFT.
Video about this.
Oaxaca Project
Cancer Ward children ... Anxieties significantly reduced. Hope increased. Family less tense, kids more relaxed. Kids more lively. Lower rates of complications.
Deborah Miller ddmiller7@findthelightwithin.com
Www. Findthelightwithin.com
(very moving short movie)
This is Metamedicine, the medicine of the future.
Mira: touch is very important in itself. Nurses used to give backrubs in hospitals. No more.
Till: people have tried eft with dying patients... They improved significantly.
In CA there are hospitals where they do EFT before surgery, find they relax and do better after surgery.
Mira is the sequence important?
Till: not really. ... Neuro Linguistic Programing ... Beating on upper chest, meridians, ... Releases stuck energy. ... My oldest client was 93; when she was 8 her father took his life...still under that trauma, “it was my fault because I went to sleep at my friend’s that night.”
Robin the training... The questions you ask.
Till a normal session goes like this. Presenting complaint described. You don’t have to relive in to the trauma. Just tune into it. Start tapping on that. E.g. One lady could not tolerate my face 8” from hers. By the end of the session she could tolerate any degree of closeness. She was 56; it went back to her abuse at age 6 by her cousins who came to spend the night.
Sometimes extraneous aches and pains disappear.
At the root of all physical ills is our emotions.

Hugs to everyone,
Ellen

Cyrano: This is the classic fictional love story based on the real dramatist & duelist, Cyrano de Bergerac (1619-1655). The story draws on the man's prominent proboscis to tell the tale of a brave & noble soldier who falls in love with the beautiful Roxane, who falls in love with the handsome but verbally inarticulate Christian. The story revolves around Cyrano's willingness to lend his eloquent poetry for Christian's love letters & wooing words; two soldiers collectively creating the perfect man for Roxane. The mastery of the language & its superb poetry make this one of the most beautiful plays ever written. This show is great for the whole family, especially from grade 6 & up; a play that emphasizes morals & ideals well suited for discussions. Three actors & one musician tell this romantic & poetic story in a theatrically exciting, refreshing new setting. Adapted by Jo Roets from Edmond Rostand's play.
