Energy Psychology rejects the physical materialism of classical science.

Energy Psychology embraces the latest understandings of quantum physics and consciousness studies.

Energy Psychology works at the level of the unconscious mind through the field and reduces stress, chronic pain, emotional upheaval and trauma.

“It is not possible to formulate the laws of quantum mechanics in a fully consistent way without reference to the consciousness.”

Nobel Laureate Eugene Wigner “This [uncertainty principle] seems to deny

the existence of a physically real world independent of our observation of it.”

Rosenblum & Kuttner, Quantum Enigma

“Science has had remarkable success in explaining the structure and functioning of the material world, but when it comes to the inner world of the mind science falls curiously silent. There is nothing in physics, chemistry, biology, or any other science that can account for our having an interior world…. David Chalmers, professor of philosophy at the University of Arizona, calls this the "hard problem" of consciousness.”

Peter Russell

The well-established Observer Effect holds that the very act of observation collapses matter.

Matter can either be a wave or a particle, but not both at the same time (particle potentiality).

It “chooses” one or the other upon observation.

Serge Haroche and David J. Wineland win the 2012 Nobel Prize in Physics for designing ingenious systems to “trick” subatomic particles into being oblivious to observation. They proved independently that particles really are in TWO places at once! Implications for “Science?” Education? Health?

Copenhagen Interpretation – dirty little secret

Agreement to separate quantum world from classical world to preserve “science” and objective reality.

“But if quantum theory denies the… physical reality of atoms, it would also seem to deny the… physical reality of chairs, which are made of atoms.”

Rosenblum & Kuttner, Quantum Enigma

“The filtering mechanisms are our sensory systems and our brain, the architecture of which we inherited from our biological ancestors, as well as our prior beliefs and implicit assumptions…. [W]e see only what our reality tunnel allows us to see, and most of us are completely unaware of this fact.”

Metzinger, The Ego Tunnel

How long between when one thinks to move and the resulting movement occurs?

You move before you think it! http://youtu.be/IQ4nwTTmcgs Whose “mind” is it?

Brain Scans Can Reveal Your Decisions 7 Seconds Before You “Decide”

“In a kind of spooky experiment, scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences reveal that our decisions are made seconds before we become aware of them.

In the study, participants could freely decide if they wanted to press a button with their right or left hand.

The only condition was that they had to remember when they made the decision to either use their right hand or left hand.

The Results: By monitoring the micro patterns of activity in the frontopolar cortex, the researchers could predict which hand the participant would choose 7 SECONDS before the participant was aware of the decision.

“What we experience with our limited senses as matter is actually organized fields of energy. Therefore what is “real” is not matter but fields. As Einstein put it, ‘The field is the only reality.’”

“We are blind to more than 99.999 percent of the light that actually exists in the universe.”

Gary E. Schwartz, The Energy Healing Experiments (University of Arizona)

“But thought itself can only be understood as a field regardless of where you think it originated – from brain cells or from the mind field…. And although the brain cells are activated to remember and respond, the active thinking experience is in the field.”

Limited by perception (light, optical illusion, etc.)

Limited by Consciousness/Observation Representation based on expectations –

placebo works even when we are told! The unconscious can do math and read Things are not what they seem!http://youtu.be/lFLR5vNKiSw

“My research shows that human energy fields display a continuum. The extremely low frequencies (ELF), are directly involved with life’s biological processes. The extremely high frequency (EHF) patterns ally with the mind-field and awareness. The general pattern of ELF is similar for all people, while the EHF reveals a personal signature of emotional patterning for each person.”

Hunt, Infinite Mind

“Meditation in Motion” Increases “chi” through movement and

manipulation of the subtle energies Chi resides in the bones and kidneys. Chi journeys through the body via

acupuncture meridians. Increased electrical conductance and

capacitance measured at acupoints. Direct evidence of Energy Psychology.

“… might well be called medication in motion….” Harvard Medical Letter

Lowers blood pressure. Decreases anxiety and depression. Reduces bone loss in post-menopausal

women. Reduces osteoarthritis pain. Improved levels of cholesterol, triglycerides,

insulin, and C-reactive protein.

Demonstrations Do we really have an energy field? Can it easily be impacted by my thoughts? Can it easily be impacted by the thoughts

of others? Does this field influence my mental,

emotional, or physical state? Can it be manipulated by others

independent of me?

Meditation/Mindfulness

KIRTAN KRIYA - Ancient meditation technique

Uses sound and hand motions

12 minutes per day increased memory by 10% in 8 weeks! Cerebral blood flow and mood altered, as well.

http://www.alzheimersprevention.org/research_meditation_study.htm

Repeat the Saa Taa Naa Maa sounds (or mantra) while sitting with your spine straight, eyes closed. With each syllable, imagine the sound flowing in through the top of your head and out the middle of your forehead (your third eye point).

For two minutes, sing in your normal voice. For the next two minutes, sing in a whisper. For the next four minutes, say the sound silently to yourself. Then reverse the order, whispering for two minutes, and then out loud for two

minutes, for a total of twelve minutes. To come out of the exercise, inhale very deeply, stretch your hands above your head.

On Saa, touch the index fingers of each hand to your thumbs. On Taa, touch your middle fingers to your thumbs. On Naa, touch your ring fingers to your thumbs. On Maa, touch your little fingers to your thumbs.

Yawning - Fake it until you make it!

Smile, even if you don’t mean it

Faith, defined as hope, optimism, positive thinking. Not religion (especially negative beliefs)

Dialogue with others on lofty matters w/o conflict
