My Experience – EFT is amazingly effective.My Question - How does EFT work? This led

to: ICE Method – www.icemethod.com This presentation

What You’ll Learn

1. Emotions create molecules called peptides.

2. Peptides instruct our bodies.

3. Peptides glue our memories together.

4. And a little bit more.

Part One – Peptides Molecules and Emotions

How do you feel about “science?”What’s the emotion?

Thoughts Create Peptides

We make a peptide each time we have a thoughtThe specific peptide corresponds to our specific

emotion.

(a peptides is a short protein string – made up of a combination of amino acids.)

1. Peptides Instruct Our Cells

Science Note

Via Peptides, the Body follows the Mind. Think a thought Make a peptide Instruct your body

EFT = Emotional – Freedom - Technique

Let’s Get Calm

For later use, let’s identify what’s not calm Use your science feeling or a more significant issue Emotion, Memory, or Physical Observe and Note

Space between Points Method (Frank Kinslow)

Create Calm Peptides in a Calm State

Cell membrane open. Cells rest, restore, and heal.

“Even though….I love and accept myself.”Tapping is calming. Calm &

Peace

Fight-or-Flight State

Cell Membrane closes and moves into protection mode. Focus changes from long term health to immediate survival. We overuse this state

Note: Calm differs from Meditation

Calm State allows mind to be engaged, but body to be in rest and healing mode.

The tiger

Is the tiger a real physical reality, a true threat to your physical well being?

If yes – fight/flight will trigger automaticallyIf no – you can observe that the tiger is just in

your mind and return to calm state.

This is a valuable distinction to learn and use for health and well-being.

How can we expand the circle?

Part Two – Peptides and Memory

In Part One we learned Every emotion we have creates a peptide in our bodies This peptide is the instruction for our body’s function We can create calm and peaceful peptides! This is a part of what makes EFT effective.

In Part Two we will discover Peptides are the glue that holds our memories

together Memories can be reglued We experience this with EFT, here’s the science.

Memories Wired Together by Emotion

Memories Can be Reglued?

PauseConsiderAbsorbReconsider our old idea that the emotions of

our memories are forever.Reconsider that the only way around old

traumas is to build new habits, new neural pathways.

We know this happens in EFT. Here is the scientific neurochemistry of the process.

Memories Can be Reglued!

Recalled Memories become “labile,” or fragile.

Recalled Memories must be “reconsolidated”Intervene with a different emotional state and

the emotional content of memories can be permanently replaced.

This awareness was only scientifically discovered in 2004.

Memory Reconsolidation -3 Steps

1. Become aware of the memory of an event, an emotion, or a physical sensation that is not calm.

The associated peptides that glue this memory are now activated, in tech terms, the memory is now “labile.” This peptide glue must now be replaced.

Memory Reconsolidation Complete

Old Peptide

Activated

Memory Reconsolidation –Step 2

2. Enter the Calm State

If nothing is done, the old peptide recreates the old emotion, which creates more of the same peptide.

If we intervene with the calm state, calm peptides are created and become available to replace the old peptide.

Tapping, like the calm state exercise, can create an alternative emotional state.

New Peptide

Memory Reconsolidation –Step 3

3. Observe the old memory again.

The calm peptide replaces the old glue.

Memory remains, emotional glue peptide has been replaced with a peptide of calm and peace.

The back and forth of tapping, between old state and new acceptance replaces peptides.

Check Your Issue

Observe the issue you identified at the beginning of this talk. Is the emotion the same or different? Is the physical sensation the same or different? Is the charge on the memory the same or different?

This is how we expand the circle!

Memory Reconsolidation Resource

Permanence

Memory Reconsolidation is believed to be permanent.

The only way known to science to change the emotion of a memory is through an exchange process.

If you don’t do anything intentional to a memory, the emotion stays the same. Once its calm, why would you want to change it later?

I believe this is the neuroscience of what happens when EFT effects permanent changes.

Part 3 – Practice and Issues

Part One The Peptides –created by our emotions. Calm State – Peptides of calm and peace

Part Two Memory Reconsolidation

In Part Three we will consider Why Gary Craig insists we focus on the negative Fibromyalgia Study Results and questions Peptides and the Quantum Field.

If a thought that weighs nothing, creates a peptide that weighs something,

what’s going on?

Why we focus on the negative.

We activate negative emotions so they become fragile and can be replaced via memory reconsolidation.

Positive can be a work-around

Take care with the positive:

When we focus on the positive we are not replacing negative emotional peptide glue.

The positive creastes new neural pathways which build brain pathways AROUND the old emotion.

Essentially the positive focus creates a new habit.

A habit is not the same as calm – it takes ongoing energy to maintain.

Core Issue

This distinction between working on the negative versus building the positive relates to:

EFT’s discovery of core issues. EFT’s Personal Peace Procedure

Fibromyalgia Study

39 Patients – single session only.Frida Fibromyalgia Center, Portland, OR.Sessions followed regular medical

appointments.Session lasted 15 to 90 minutes.Fall, 2012.

Fibromyalgia Patient Pain Levels

Fibromyalgia Study Results

Study Observations

For those who entered calm state – pain went to zero for 80% of patients in their single session.

Relief turned out to be temporary for most.Most patients did not answer my calls or

emails asking for follow-up information and offering follow-up sessions.

WHY?

What Happened?

In Calm State, and using memory reconsolidation, patients experienced pain relief.

Upon return to daily environment they were likely confronted with fight/flight situations again and body returned to fibromyalgia symptoms.

Why didn’t patients seek out the further sessions I offered to them?

Fight or Flight

The two point calm exercise is a way to transition a person from an activated emotional state (fight/flight) to a calm state.

Ironically, when you’re in fight/flight mode, calm doesn’t appear as a solution, it appears as a danger.

How would being calm help you get away from the tiger?

The tiger

Is the tiger a real physical reality, a true threat to your physical well being?

If yes – fight/flight will trigger automaticallyIf no – you can observe that the tiger is just in

your mind and return to calm state.

This is a valuable distinction to learn and use for health and well-being.

How to Make Healing Last?

Science – The interface between the material world and the

energetic world is peptides. Do EFT or any process that activates memory

reconsolidation. Become aware of connection to Quantum Field– to All

Spirit – Do EFT or any process that activates memory

reconsolidation. Peace of God – Love of Neighbor – No difference between Source and Self and “Others.”
