Teachings 8

  • The placebo effect accounts for one third of positive medical outcomes, proving your mind has tremendous power to influence treatment success

    Research shows placebo effect accounts for about one-third of positive results in any medicine or medical procedure, according to EFT expert Ben Schwartz

  • Unhealed miscarriage trauma creates fear that haunts future conception attempts, shutting down hormones and affecting the body's ability to relax and conceive

    Ben Schwartz explains that miscarriages are traumas that nobody recovers from without emotional healing, and unresolved trauma creates stress that affects fertility physiology

  • EFT tapping works by focusing on disturbing emotions while tapping acupressure points to desensitize trauma responses and neutralize emotional charge

    Ben Schwartz demonstrates specific tapping points from side of hand to top of head, eyebrow, corner of eye, under nose, chin, collarbone and under arm while verbalizing negative emotions

  • Your unconscious mind accounts for at least 90% of what influences you, which is why conscious willpower alone can't overcome self-sabotage patterns

    Ben Schwartz explains that unconscious forces create tremendous stress in the body that you don't realize, and conscious mind is only a small fraction of what steers your decisions

  • Perfectionism is a known factor that works against fertility success - the more you try to do everything perfectly, the more you sabotage yourself

    Ben Schwartz confirms perfectionist tendencies are very common with fertility issues and explains that unlike other life areas, conception requires surrendering and letting go rather than controlling

  • Stressed wildlife populations stop reproducing when humans encroach on their territory, proving stress directly impacts fertility across species

    Ben Schwartz explains that wildlife biologists observe animal populations dropping when stressed by human encroachment, hunting increases, or resource scarcity

  • EFT tapping should focus on expressing the negative emotions and trauma, not positive affirmations - you purge negativity out rather than cover it up

    Ben Schwartz demonstrates tapping technique saying 'I feel hopeless' and 'frustrated with my body' rather than positive statements, explaining this releases trapped emotions

  • If you aren't working on the mind piece of fertility, you have a gaping hole in your strategy regardless of how healthy your diet is

    Rosanne Austin explains that eating kale won't help if you're quietly sabotaging yourself, and emphasizes mind-body work as essential for complete fertility strategy
