Is the slapping of the hands in unison "similar" to playing the alpha or theta sound in a speaker where it affects the entire body and both sides of the brain at the same time? Or not?

 

Just wondering...

 

Got to get back to work. Will post more stuff later.

 

Thanks!

Hi Jim:

 

Your post made me wonder a bit. When I took my training in EMDR, they not only taught us to use the visual mode of the protocol, but for people who had difficulties with their eyes, we were also doing alternate tapping on some body part of theirs, usually their knees or lower thighs. I wonder if what was happening was that we were readjusting the homolateral flow?

 

Just was wondering as I read your post.

Actually, it could be, since brain dominance is also a part of being

homolateral.

 

The drill Jim was doing was to activate both brain hemispheres

though that special tapping sequence.

 

So now though processing will be a function of both brain

hemispheres automatically.

 

I'm pretty sure that to correct cronic homolateral is not that easy

to do.

I would agree with that - i have a couple of clients who do the drills and

have been doing so for months, admittedly not ALWAYS as often as they should

be, still on a regular basis and the homolateral correction is only just

starting to hold. Testing is great cos it demonstrates to the client that

the drill changes something in a positive way and that it is just a matter

of getting that change to hold.

 

I had a client come in today who was grumpy and disillusioned with EM. She

has sleep probs and a scoliosis. The first week after she came she did the

drills and slept better then she stopped the drills and had a week of poor

sleep. When i asked her why she had stopped the drills she said that she

didn't feel that they had made a difference soooo I repeated back what she

had just said about better sleep in the first week WHEN SHE WAS DOING THE

DRILLS. She had an " aha " moment and then we did some strange flows. She

went from feeling flat to feeling relaxed and happy.......and said " I don't

want to believe that this stuff works but every time you demonstrate to me

that it does " . Next time we are gonna EFT that particular aspect.

 

Just thought I would share....
