"Intuition doesn't disappear under pressure — it just gets harder to hear."

In this episode, advanced clinical EFT practitioner and trainer Naomi Janzen explores how EFT Tapping (Emotional Freedom Techniques) serves as a "shutoff switch" for the body's internal alarm system. When we are in survival mode, our nervous system is flooded with "noise" that drowns out our inner signals. Naomi explains how tapping on specific meridian points sends calming signals to the brain, telling the amygdala that we are safe.

By regulating the nervous system, EFT allows the prefrontal cortex—the part of the brain responsible for higher thinking and clear perception—to come back online. This creates the ideal internal conditions for intuition to be heard clearly, sharpening decision-making and trust in one's "inner signal".

In this conversation, we cover:

• The Science of Tapping: How tapping creates piezoelectricity to interact with the body's bioelectricity.
• Intuition vs. Survival Mode: Why you can't hear your "quiet wisdom" while in fight-or-flight.
• Overcoming "Secondary Gain": Understanding the unconscious reasons we hold onto problems or physical injuries.
• Evidence-Based EFT: Moving beyond "woo-woo" to the 200+ clinical studies that legitimize Tapping in modern medicine.
• Physical & Emotional Healing: Real-world cases of overcoming trauma, addiction, and even chronic physical limitations like frozen shoulder through EFT.

Drawing on decades of experience, Naomi bridges the practical and the intuitive for high-functioning individuals who want their intuition to be a reliable tool, no matter how high the stakes.
