I Do the Practice of Tapping and I find it worthy. We meet every Monday at 6 PM California time for a One Hour Guided Meditation... and I watch replays often... I pay for this service and it's well worth the money. I believe that There is a Possibility that Acupuncture Actually Works and We Do That but don't use Needles. We Just Tap. Gregory Vanderlaan, Tapping Since 2014
Here is a FREE Introductory Video by Sonya Sophia Where She Explains What Tapping Is and Gives a Demonstration... It's Similar to Acupuncture but instead of Using Needles we Just Tap with our Fingers on The Meridian Points.

I Find that during a Tapping Session I Often Come Up With Ideas... and I Can Take a Moment to Write them Down... and then Take Action... It's an Excellent Idea Factory!
An anxiety disorder is characterized by feelings of worry, anxiety, or fear to an extent that interferes in daily functioning, and it is one of the most common mental illnesses in America. It affects 18.1 percent of the population every year, and although it is highly treatable, only 36.9 percent of those suffering receive treatment.
This is an area that has featured significantly in the EFT research studies. Because anxiousness is typically felt physically, tapping has become a useful strategy to calm the body.
One of the first large-scale studies involved 5,000 patients seeking treatment for anxiety across 11 clinics over a five-and-a-half-year period.
Patients were allocated to traditional psychological treatment, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) that included medication if needed, or acupoint treatment (precursor to EFT) with no medication.
Complete remission was reported by 76 percent of the patients in the acupoint group and 51 percent of the CBT group. Some improvement to complete remission was reported by 90 percent of the patients in the acupoint group and 63 percent of the CBT group. Those 90 percent of acupoint patients improved in an average of 3 sessions, compared to an average of 15 sessions for the CBT patients. One year later 78 percent of the acupoint group maintained their improvements, compared with 69 percent of the CBT group.
This study included an inspection of brain changes after treatment for anxiety. It was the first EFT study to do so and used pre-and post-treatment functional brain imaging (through computerized EEG, evoked potentials, and topographic mapping).
The images in the study show the shift of red (highly dysfunctional waves) to blue (calmer state) in the central and frontal areas of the brain. This corresponded with a decrease in anxiety symptoms in intensity and frequency. Patients who received CBT with medication also showed similar changes in their scans, but they took a longer treatment time to achieve this.
What is also very important to note is that at one-year follow-up, the CBT patients' scans were more likely to have returned to their pretreatment levels than the acupoint patients.

KI Said on FaceBorg:
When I met Sonya Sophia, I was severely depressed and suicidal. I attended a weekend workshop in San Francisco and immediately I could see the benefit of her healing modalities. I signed up for a 6 months coaching program in Chico CA, and that not only helped lift my depression, but I also began my own healing practice as an EFT practitioner. In addition, I received a number of one-on-one coaching sessions with Sonya. These sessions helped me let go of past trauma and move forward with ease and grace. I am so grateful to Sonya Sophia for her patience and skill, and I sent many of my friends, family and clients to her workshops and private practice. Today I live free of depression and have my own practice, thanks to Sonya Sophia’s work.

I am entering into a dark moon cocoon retreat, a 300 square foot room built into the earth tonight, May 10th, and will not emerge from complete darkness and sound deprivation until Saturday the 14th. I have dreamt about going into a dark retreat since I was in my 20’s. I didn’t have the tools or courage to face my fears… until now.
It’s time.
It’s time to face my fears, my demon allies.
They are here to teach me more about surrender, radical self-acceptance, and forgiveness of myself and others.
It’s time.
It’s time to take a long ride on my kundalini, my Ma Dragon.
This is where I return to the waves of creation.
We journey daily for minutes, sometimes even hours.
This will be the first time we will ride for days.
She has been beckoning me, to take me to the deeper layers of formlessness,
Where all healing is possible.
It feels like I am going to die.
The way the caterpillar must die to itself to become the butterfly.
I wonder what will die within me to make room for what wants to emerge.
I am excited. I am a bit scared too, feeling in trepidation, but not enough to stop me from facing the daunting, formidable unknown.
Grateful that I am not afraid to fear, that’s where I meet myself.
If you feel called, I would love for you to join me energetically, to face your demon allies, to ride your bad ass dragon alongside my dark retreat. What part of you resists the fertile darkness? What part longs to return to center of yourself?
Here we go…..
and then someone told their tale...
At the first EFT circle I attended, I tapped on chronic left hip pain and the feelings I was having around the pain. I found that I had been storing some unexpressed grief for my father’s death in that hip. The pain went away and was gone for weeks. It took some more tapping on other grief issues for the chronic hip condition to leave completely. My left hip now lets me know when there is some personal transition that needs love and attention through tapping, but for the most part it healed. This first encounter with the deep healing of tapping was astonishing and very welcomed. It opened up doors of possibilities that I still encounter in my varied work settings. In my own life, I have more confidence and can easily manage any emotional upset. For the most part, physical pain can be easily tapped away. I am looking forward to years of offering EFT to my community and friends and I know this would not be the case had it not been for the care and attentive teaching of Sonya Sophia. In her journey, through our town and our lives, she has left powerful tools and teachings to help guide and heal many of us for years to come.

on a Different Subject...
~~~~~~ (~);-} ~~~~~~I Have No Enemies. I just read that a Friend of Mine Considers "The State" to be His Enemy. SAD... Trump has an Enemies List... That's Pathetic...
Somehow, I don't think "The State" is Going to Go Away... and so he will have an Enemy for the Rest of His Life... and in Reality, "The State" Doesn't Even Know that He Exists... Until he Fails to Pay Income Taxes... and then They Will Remember Him...
Now that Marijuana is Legal... I Don't Even Consider the Police to be My Enemy... Almost All the Laws Make Sense... Except That Medicinal Psychedelics Ought to be Legal... After All, Doctors and Patients Ought To Be Able to Make Their Own Decisions... Congress Made Magic Mushrooms, LSD and Peyote Illegal WITHOUT Understanding Anything About Medicine... They Only Knew What they Were Bribed to Know... The Alcohol Business and Big Pharma Absolutely Does not Want Psychedelic Drugs to Be Legal... What IF People Cured themselves and No Longer needed their Products? HUH?
When I was Young the US Government Drafted 18 Year Old People and Forced them to Serve in the Military. People I Know Were Forced to Go To Vietnam and Kill People... For No Reason... as we all knew, The War Was INSANE... and Eventually The US Government STOPPED Behaving Crazy and We Have Not Had a Draft Since... and... We Had 15 Years of Peace after the USA Lost the Vietnam War... Until Alzheimer's Disease allowed Oliver North to Take Over the US Foreign Policy and We Took Sides in a Civil War in Nicaragua... another Pointless Adventure... but Since Ronald Reagan Had No Brain, He Thought it was a Great Idea... That was a Time that the 25th Amendment Should have been Enforced... but since Everyone in the Inner Circle Benefited from Having a Brain Dead President... They Didn't Act.
I think the Main Reason I Have No Enemies is I've Been on the Right Side of History for Over 50 Years... Sure, People have disagreed with me and then years later they Grasped the Concepts and Decided I Was Right all Along...
It's a Worthy Goal of Mine to Cause Global Awakening... Since I Have NO TASKS, I have 24 Hours a day to Write, Compose Songs, Do Art and Eat, Sleep, Go to the Bathroom...
