[...] Her content from 09 is unique in the attention it has drawn. Second to perhaps only Julian’s in controversy, it has also garnered some of the most passionate praise from attendees and online viewers alike. [...]

This lecture is excellent. Particularly the discussion of vibration and increasing your vibration. Some good further reading material that discusses vibrations can be found in Napoleon Hills masterpiece “The Law of Success”. Page 15: Every Mind Both a Broadcasting and a Receiving Station. Hill covers the concept of mind chemistry, and his brilliant Master Mind principle in this part of the book. His target audience were business men. But I find the material is highly relative to game. Thanks for this material.

Lol, tapping is addictive.

And I’d be worried about the fact that I tend to tap constantly, except that I’ve done it so much that, well …

I love and accept myself completely, exactly the way I am.

Thanks for the comments, guys. I hope you will join us for the Convention in 2010.

I think this was an awesome video, especially on beliefs systems and such, really powerful stuff.

Energy healing? This sounds extremely retarded.

Lots of spelling errors… Let me articulate myself better:
2 Comments about EFT.
1) People seems to get addicted to tapping, especially when they get results.
Erica on stage didn’t stop tapping her hand!
2) If I was in a bar and she tapped on me because I have AA issues, I would feel good, almost like “Mommy is letting me be bold, so I can approach”.
So, it can be effective. But to me, this meridian, acupressure is bullshit to be more like science.
Erica, keep helping guys out, with or without tapping. If you find something better than this, change your method..

…entering the mainstream not in the past decades but past half century, sorry.

I completely felt the pink shirt guy’s anxiety too. He was layering fake comedy on top of it constantly. When Erika referred to him trying to pick her up he went silent for a while and his face was stunned. He kept on modifying his facial expressions on command and his body was shifting constantly. Very nervous he was. ( I do it too that’s how I know ).

This stuff is not magic by the way. Check out Richard Dawkin’s The Selfish Gene or Steven Pinker’s How The Mind Works. It is clear within the field of evolutionary psychology that people are built to both be good at detecting cheaters/liars ( Erika says they have incongruence ) and also interestingly a game theory analysis of evolution says that printing the emotions all over your face is ‘evolutionarily stable’.

That basically means that genes for lying well and not being able to tell apart liars didn’t survive. The why takes longer to explain. ( And there are exceptions ). Yes I know you probably think that genes for being a good lier should survive, but they don’t basically because cheaters cheat each other, while non cheaters thrive together sort of ( it is more complicated ) .

Oh and I think that Emotional Freedom Technique probably works because it forces you to focus on exactly what you are saying through consistent distraction. And because emotions are actually just “shortcut memories”, you can neurally rewire your associative memory with the new statements you say. It works proportionally to how often you do it, because human memory works using ‘weights’ (practice/reinforcement).

AFC Adam mentioned in his video here that he also heard tapping is a ‘hard-wired’ distraction technique, but he uses it to get into other people’s conversations.

Yep, sorry no magic. This stuff has been entering the mainstream during the past decade or so. Also check out Paul Eckman’s research on face/emotion studies.

Wow, thanks for the sweet comments, guys.

I feel flattered, and I’m definitely blushing
