Trauma can often have a devastating impact on our emotional and physical health. EFT or Emotional -Freedom Technique is a super simple tapping therapy

But what exactly is EFT Tapping?

A combination of Ancient Chinese Acupressure and Modern Psychology, tapping disrupts the repetitive emotional cycles which keep us stuck- quickly getting to the heart of the issue, working to rewire the brain, calm the amygdala, and create a sense of safety in the body to ease stress and release stored trauma responses.

The emotional freedom technique (EFT) tapping sequence is a sequence used while tapping on the ends of nine meridian points.

Twelve main meridians reflect each side of the body and correspond to an internal organ.

To perform sequencing, you tap each meridian point while saying a reminder phrase. The sequence that has to be followed while tapping includes:

Einstein tells us:

“A human being is a part of the whole called by us- universe. A part limited in time and space, experiencing himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness.“

He goes on to task us with freeing ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion by embracing all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. In this regard, it makes positive sense then, to cultivate our interconnectivity with our fellow human beings.

Join us with our guest today, Jeff Teresi as we explore how to perfect this all-to-important art of human interaction. Tune in to find out how on The Light Inside.

Author Michael Singer, In his book “The Untethered Soul” shares this sage advice- “There is nothing more important to true growth than realizing that you are not the voice of the mind - you are the one who hears it.”

Michael goes on to add- “Only you can take inner freedom away from yourself, or give it to yourself. Nobody else can.”

But what do we do when that inner voice of intuition has gone astray and is knocked off course by our unprocessed traumas and coping mechanisms when strong physical or emotional reactions begin to surface? As a result we begin to experience the psychosomatic responses often associated with unprocessed trauma.

Our guest today- Author, Debbie Emick spent years battling multiple chronic illnesses and autoimmune diseases. When doctors were unable to pinpoint the source of her illness and having taken the long road to learning on her path to healing.Debbie discovered her unprocessed childhood traumas where the cause, through accessing the mind-body connection to disease and health, addressing and releasing the repressed emotions of past trauma.

She is now able to experience a life of greater health, ease, and fulfillment by living out my authentic purpose.

Join Debbie and I, as we explore how to release from the startling grips of the neurobiology of trauma and heal from chronic disease. We hope to inspire and empower people to live the life their soul is calling them to today on this episode of The Light Inside.

Most of us have such psychological “blind spots,” aspects of our personalities that are obvious to everyone but ourselves. You can find the answers if you care to—or more accurately, if you dare to. This is the roughest mission you can undertake: a direct seek-and-destroy attack on your own pockets of denial.

Identifying your own blind spots is an exercise in paradox, because if you’re aware of a problem, it doesn’t count.

Our guest today, Joe Ryan, has been on a lifelong journey of overcoming trauma, shame, and the demons that plague him as a result of childhood abuse.

With often bone-jarring honest and authentic vulnerability, he is sharing his invaluable insight; paving the way to help others heal from the turmoil and distress of past traumatic experiences.

Joe and I explore how we each can become more emotional connected to uncover and understand our emotional blind spots, empowering us to recognize past trauma triggers so we might mi e behind emotional reactivity. Being emotional and emotionally connected to self are two very unique and different states.

Joe teaches how to go inward, facing our trauma triggers, so we might uncover those hidden blind spots which allow us to become fully engaged and present.

Tune in to find out how lean into those often uncomfortable emotions. In the process, learning how to become more comfortable with your authentic self on this episode of- The Light Inside.

Spiritual Teacher Eckhart Tolle tells us:

“Ego is presented as an accumulation of thoughts and emotions, continuously identified with, creating the idea and feeling of being a separate entity from one's self.”

We learn only by disidentifying one's consciousness from it can one truly be free from suffering.

Psychologist and author Dr. Nicole LePerla shares this: “The Suffering within our world comes from the human egos misguided attempts to keep us safe. It’s always creating stories.”

When we stop to reconsider the words of both Tolle and LePerla, one has to ask- are these stories truly serving me and feeding my spiritual evolution, or are they leading to a destruction of self?

-The Me that is within.

Our guest today, Dr. Linville Meadows knows the often devastating effect of allowing our egos to step into the driver seat. Having walked the journey of his own recovery and through collecting the lessons, tips, and techniques he used to get sober.He adds his observations from over twenty years of helping addicts and alcoholics. Now, as an author, incorporated these ideas into his recently released book, “A Spiritual Pathway to Recovery from Addiction, A Physician's Journey of Discovery"

Linville is hear to today to share his perspective. Tune it to find out The Way Doctors Do It on The lIght Inside.
