Neuro Emotional Technique
Identify
First, we talk about how we experience trauma and how it gets buried deep within our psyche and physical body. Then we will identify the traumas and when and how they were formed, and where they are being trapped inside of you.
Understand
Next, we begin to dive more deeply into how this traumatic event is affecting you in your life in the present moment. In order to move forward, we have to understand where we came from and how our past has shaped us.
Release
Finally, this is where we connect our past traumas to our current stressors and release them from our bodies by making a chemical change in our brain. This process of clearing out the negative energy is what prunes our being for new life to sprout.
What is Neuro-Emotional Technique?
Neuro-Emotional Technique (NET) is a stress reduction technique. Stress is unavoidable and can come from family, friends, work, or just about anything. In life, we can suffer from different types of traumas such as, birth traumas, falls, car accidents, divorce, abuse, addictions, loss of a loved one, sports injuries, or even failing a test, to name a few. If the body cannot process the negative emotion associated with the trauma, it can get trapped in the body and express itself as either a physical or physiological issue. A physical symptom can be pain or tightness in any area of the body and physiological symptoms can include, not being able to go or stay asleep at night, having anxiety or panic attacks, not being able to lose/gain weight, or any negative reaction in the body.
NET is performed using manual muscle testing of the arm in combination with meridian access points located on the wrists and hands. These points are based off of the Chinese Acupuncture System and are correlated with the major organs systems of the body. In NET, manual muscle testing is used to access the physiology of the body, which includes the physiology of the emotional response. Muscles will usually test strong when a patient makes a statement with which he/she is congruent with. Similarly, muscles will usually test weak when the patient makes a statement which he/she not non-congruent with. If you’d like to read the scientific explanation for how and why this happens, give this journal a read.
The physiology of emotions is based on the science that emotions are related to minute proteins in the body called Information Substances. Information Substances are comprised of neurotransmitters, neuropeptides, hormones and other specialized information molecules that permeate the entire body, including our DNA.
The NET process works with your subconscious brain which is much like a storage container or filing cabinet of information. This brain records everything you do from the time you are being developed in the womb till right before you die. If you have unresolved stress in your body from any traumatic event then you will continue to experience negative effects in your body until the stress is removed. The process is generally quick and multiple issues can be addressed in a session. This process works with the physiology of your tissues which means a chemical change will take place within the subconscious brain. When the chemical change is occurring in the body there are four common reactions. Relief of pain or discomfort in the body: if all emotionally connected, abnormal laughing, crying, overall sense of relief and or feeling lightness.
Who is NET for?
NET can be used by anyone who has an unresolved trauma. It’s great for everyone including children, teens, and adults. NET Practitioners are nearly unlimited in their ability to address the physical and behavioral stress-related conditions of their patients. These conditions include headaches, body pains, fears, general anxiety, self-sabotaging behaviors, athletic slumps, organ dysfunctions and so much more. It’s important to note that NET does not cure or heal the patient, but rather NET removes blocks to the natural vitalism of the body, “allowing” the body to repair itself naturally.
