The Mind Can Change Molecules

Clinical EFT Therapy Validated as Evidence-Based Practice for Psychological and Physiological Conditions2

A comprehensive scientific review of a therapy called Clinical EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) has been published in a top peer-reviewed journal, Frontiers in Psychology.

It compared the evidence for EFT against criteria published by the American Psychological Association (APA) Division 12 Task Force on Empirically Validated Therapies. Summarizing the results of 56 randomized controlled trials, it found that EFT is highly effective for anxiety, depression, phobias, PTSD, and stress symptoms.

EFT, also known as acupoint tapping or simply “tapping,” is a practice that combines acupressure (tapping on acupuncture points) with elements of conventional psychological methods like cognitive processing and exposure therapy (focusing on distressing memories). Studies show that the addition of acupressure rapidly reduces the emotional triggering that results from disturbing events.

In the past decade, research in EFT has increasingly focused on objective biological markers such as cortisol levels, immune function, brain activity, and gene expression. It has also been used to successfully treat physical conditions including pain, insomnia, and autoimmune diseases.

The results of randomized controlled trials, the gold standard of research, showed EFTs effects to extend beyond the subjective perceptions of stress measured in psychology. The paper’s coauthor and EFT pioneer Dr. Dawson Church observed that, “Self-reporting and subjective change is one thing, but objective change means that independent of what you think or report, there are external positive changes that are measurable.”

The review concludes that Clinical EFT is “efficacious for a range of psychological and physiological conditions. Treatment is associated with measurable biological effects in the dimensions of gene expression, brain synchrony, hormonal synthesis, and a wide range of biomarkers.”

The paper noted several other characteristics of the treatment method. Comparatively few treatment sessions are required, treatment is effective whether delivered in person or virtually, and symptom improvements persist over time. Also, EFT works well as group therapy, which makes it cost effective to administer.

EFT is also unusually safe, with no reports of adverse events in the more than 2,000 study participants. This has led to it being characterized by the US Veterans Administration as a “generally safe therapy.” The paper notes the prevalence of “simultaneous symptom reduction,” where multiple psychological conditions (such as depression and anxiety) and physiological diagnoses (such as pain and insomnia) decline at the same time.

With over 125 studies now published in peer-reviewed journals, Clinical EFT is one of the most-researched treatment methods in the field of psychology. The review paper found it to be a stable and mature method with an extensive evidence base, capable of being used in primary care settings as a safe, rapid, reliable, and effective treatment for both psychological and medical diagnoses.

Yet there exists another hidden power within you, one that can be unveiled through the very substance that fills that glass.

Your first superpower is evident—the ability to alter molecules within your body. Consider the cascade of cortisol and adrenaline that materialize when you entertain stressful thoughts. If these persist and become a pattern, those neural pathways of stress etch themselves into the recesses of your mind. 

However, if you instead choose the path of meditation, prayer, love, kindness, and compassion, a marvelous reversal occurs. The regions of your brain associated with stress diminish in mass, gradually dismantling those well-worn pathways. It is clear how we shape the molecules within our bodies.

Discoveries of Molecules in our BodyYet there is less apparent yet equally profound truth at play too: our consciousness holds the capacity to transform molecules outside our very selves. Scientists have been unraveling this mystery through their fascinating experiments with water for over half a century.

In the 1960s, Bernard Grad, a pioneering researcher at McGill University, embarked on a remarkable journey to explore the effects of intention and energy on water. He divided a sample of water into two identical containers, bestowing a blessing upon one while leaving the other untouched. Grad then employed these distinct waters to nurture barley seeds. 

Astonishingly, the seeds watered with the blessed water exhibited greater vitality. They sprouted with a vigor unmatched by their counterparts, subsequently boasting notably taller stature, superior foliage, and heightened chlorophyll levels (Grad, 1963).

Further studies delved deeper yet, scrutinizing the molecular nature of water itself. Ordinarily, the bond angle between oxygen and hydrogen atoms stands at 104.5°. However, when subjected to the touch of Therapeutic Touch energy healers, the bonding angle underwent a remarkable shift, decreasing significantly (Schwartz et al., 2015).

These investigations merely scratch the surface of a vast body of research unveiling the profound influence of energy on matter. In the realm of Cymatics, a captivating domain of science, researchers examine the impact of sound on molecules. A tangible illustration of this phenomenon can be witnessed through the mesmerizing Chladni plate. This metal surface, adorned with scattered powder, reacts to various sound frequencies, orchestrating an exquisite dance as the powder molecules align themselves into intricate patterns.

Energy on MatterPrior to encountering these revelations, you may have believed that your negative thoughts solely harmed you. However, armed with this newfound understanding, you realize that your superpower extends far beyond personal boundaries. Your very attitude possesses the astonishing ability to reshape the molecular fabric of objects and living beings. 

As you traverse your day, consider this revelation and let your thoughts radiate kindness and benevolence toward all beings—plants and animals as well as people. Perhaps before partaking in that refreshing drink of water, you may even choose to infuse it with your blessings.

As you fully embrace this extraordinary truth, you’ll unveil the immense power that resides within you. The molecules of the world await your benevolent influence, ready to harmonize with the vibrations of your consciousness.
