All Aboard the Energy Train

Being at the ACEP International Conference gives me such a wonderful feeling of belonging.  This, in spite of the fact that I identified myself as a hypnotherapist  long before I ever heard of EFT, let alone TAT.

I love the reverence for research-based findings in this group, while maintaining high respect for the transpersonal and esoteric elements of working with energy that are impossible to prove scientifically.

I am now done with the Essentials of Energy Health Part I training.  Part II is being offered at the end of the Conference and I didn't sign up for it because I was concerned about overwhelm at that point.  The past two days have helped me integrate previous trainings in a new, more usable way.  My clients can expect some dazzling new methods of identifying obstacles in their progress, and clearing those obstacles.  Whereas I have been using a pendulum to determine the direction of any given session, I can now offer my clients applied kinesiology or "muscle testing" to involve them in the process.  I can now also identify and correct energy imbalances.  How cool is that!

Tomorrow the regular Conference begins, as does my role as a volunteer for the first time.  I will let you know how that goes.

ACEP International Conference

Just returned from the ACEP International Conference in Coronado. Wow! What an exciting time to be alive!

This field of Energy Psychology is continuing to evolve in the most remarkable ways. Here are some of the highlights that I can't wait to share:

At Greg Warburton's workshop on using EP for athletes, he showed us a clip from ESPN's coverage of the Collegiate World Series from a couple of years ago. The camera zoned in on the Oregon State University pitcher (a freshman!) sitting in the dug-out, tapping. Greg is the Sports Psychologist who works with the Oregon State University athletes and that team won two consecutive world championships -- and that young pitcher was recruited for the majors in his junior year. Apparently during the Olympics, Apollo Ono was also caught on camera tapping his thymus point. When I say that the Energy Therapies work for peak performance, this is what I'm talking about!

One of the three outstanding keynote speakers, Dr. Bill Bengston, a guy whose Ph.D. is in statistics and scientific methodology, showed us videos of the miraculous work he's documented HUNDREDS of times involving mice injected with 100% terminal cancer cells ... whose tumors disappear as a result of therapeutic touch!

And I'm totally jazzed about an Energy Therapy called TAT (Tapas Acupressure Technique) that I can't wait to start using with clients. Kaiser Permanente just received a $2.1 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to study TAT for pain management. This is the result of TAT having being used at Kaiser for weight management and wowing people with the results.
