In humans and othejr animals, energy is our third circulatory system. First is blood, which flows through the veins and arteries, second is lymph which circulates through the lymphatic system, and finally, energy flowing through the energy meridians. These three make up the information highway of the mind and body. Interference with any of the three can cause disease and/or emotional distress. The energy system carries our emotions; embedded sensory information (see, hear, touch, taste, feel and smell).

How Does It Work

If we wish to access the energy in our everyday appliances, we must turn on a switch. In the human body, everything that has ever happened to us is stored as energy within the mind/body system. To access a specific memory, for example, we must "switch on" the energy field where the memory is stored. This is called the thought field. When we think about a problem, in effect, we "re-live" it. Switching on the disturbing thought also turns on all the sensory information attached to it. We re experience the event as though it is happening in the moment. If you have ever had a nightmare you have already had this happen. We react to bad dreams with fear, paralysis, pounding heart, and related symptoms, even though they are not really happening. Thinking about a problem brings with it all the negative sensory reactions and we respond as though they are happening again. That is because the body/mind doesn't know the difference between what is real and what is being recalled or imagined.

How Do We Heal or Transform Emotional Stress?

Each energy meridian passes through a specific major organ of the body. Each organ energetically holds (relates to) a specific kind of emotion, i.e. fear, anger, shame, grief and so on. When we are re-experiencing an emotional problem, we can transform it (change the emotional impact) by tapping on related energy meridians in a specified order, depending upon the nature of the problem being addressed. The tapping alleviates the negative emotional/kinesthetic responses. When the process is complete, you can remember the problem but it no longer bothers you. The stress is gone.

How Can I Learn to Do This?

Rapid Response Therapy is as easy to learn as following a recipe.

You can order my book, "Be Your Own Therapist," and/or take one or more of the Seminars I teach. I have taught hundreds of people from all walks of life, including professionals wishing to upgrade their skills. Teams of skilled therapists have gone into Rwanda to teach staff in local orphanages how to treat children (and themselves) in order to heal the awful traumatic memories caused during the genocide. (The successful results of this research are recorded on a disc available upon request.) Trauma teams have gone into Uganda, Nigeria, New Orleans, Mexico and other places in response to human crises. Energy-based therapy is being recognized as a leading treatment for Post Traumatic Stress.

Rapid Response Therapy Works on Animals Too!
