One theory (which sounds valid to me) is that wether you do the tapping or the eye movement you're occupying the conscious mind while instructing the unconscious (or sub conscious) mind with your desired result/programming.
In hypnosis you bypass the conscious mind in yet another way.
So that's a good thing.
Your question on it being a placebo is a fun one. Placebo means in the medical community something like: something worked but we didn't do it.
Personally I don't care what works as long as I get the desired result. Placebo is usually better than medication because it has no undesired side effects. Better from a patient's point of view, not from a farmaceutical company's because it is a lot harder to sell (since it's not predictable when it will work, if at all). My advice, if what you're doing is working, keep doing it. If it doesn't (anymore) do something else. |
