You're just anxious and you don't know why. 👉 Free Course: skillstochange.com/...ages/get-started If you're so jacked up, you're emotionally upset, you can't see anything anyway. The backside of the brain will hijack the prefrontal cortex. It means you can't even think. The first thing is you need to put some fire down. The key for you and the key for me is knowing how to regulate the body. What somatic practice can you do? You can do anything. You could hum happy birthday. You can recall a happy memory. You can roll your ears, unroll your ears. You can move your focus from the sensation in the body and feel your hair. You can hug yourself. You can hum. There's lots of ways to do it. I use tapping. Tapping seems to be the fastest somatic way of relaxing the body, but also allowing you to go in and maneuver inside of the brain, updating memories and references. #eutaptics #FasterEFT #RobertGeneSmith #SkillsToChange #EFTTapping #NervousSystemRegulation

The body is a scoreboard. 👉 Free Course: skillstochange.com/...ages/get-started The brain is the one moving the numbers around. It's the one expressing it through the body. Somatic work, vagus nerve work, the system that works is relaxing the body. But there's a misnomer. The body does not keep the score. We're focusing on the body as the culprit or the holder, and it isn't. It's memories and programming. When you get that one simple truth, you don't have to do 15 years of somatic work and still never solve it. How do you do that? Number one thing is know how to change memories. Memories are not the real thing. Your memories are created by your brain, by what it witnessed outside you. It takes it in, internalizes it, and records the emotions and feelings of that event and afterwards. Sometimes you can have an event that doesn't traumatize you. But then you start thinking, imagining worse scenarios, and all of a sudden it becomes a bad event instead of just an event. #eutaptics #FasterEFT #RobertGeneSmith #SkillsToChange #NervousSystemRegulation #NervousSystemReset

If you think the body is where the problem is, you will never put the problem away. 👉 Free Course: skillstochange.com/...ages/get-started What is the problem? Memories and references. Experiences. Ideologies. Connections with anxiety. If you were raised up in an emotionally exciting world, like trauma, anger, excitement, you were bullied, you were picked on, you were always sick, your brain has discovered this is normal. And it will replicate that normal everywhere you go. This becomes what you'd call an imprint and an imprinted value. You operate from it. You only see from your tunnel. Everywhere you go, people are out to get you. Everywhere you go, the world's not safe. Everywhere you go, something is gonna get me. Your brain holds onto this and keeps replicating it through your body. In your choices of relationships. The men, the women, the jobs. The brain is a great recycler. It keeps us in the loop. #eutaptics #FasterEFT #RobertGeneSmith #SkillsToChange #NervousSystemRegulation

You have probably tried the breathing. The cold water. The humming. And your nervous system still spikes. Most vagus nerve advice targets the symptom. This live goes after the cause. Join me LIVE — Thursday, October 1st, 12 pm Central. We will look at why standard vagus nerve techniques give you a few minutes of calm and nothing more, and what actually moves the needle long-term. Bring your questions. I will answer them live. eutaptics® FasterEFT™ | trauma, anxiety, PTSD, emotional pain, physical healing I'll show you how to change the root cause, not just manage the symptoms. I'm Robert Gene Smith, creator of eutaptics® FasterEFT™ and founder of Skills to Change Institute. For over 25 years I've worked with thousands of people worldwide who were stuck in pain their doctors couldn't fix, their therapists couldn't reach, and their willpower couldn't move. What I teach is not positive thinking. It is not talk therapy. It is a process that goes directly to the memory structures running your life, and changes them.

Why are you dysregulated? 👉 Free Course: skillstochange.com/...ages/get-started You're dysregulated because your brain is using memories, and it sparks the body to respond for protection. We don't like it and we don't like how it's producing. If you want to solve the problem, understand you can change yourself with knowledge and know-how. The brain's a scorekeeper, not the body. Memories are replicated in the body. I had a nightmare the other day. When you have a nightmare, does it feel real? Yes. Is it real? No. That's what memories are. They're not real anymore, but it sure feels real. The brain sends messages and it makes it feel as if you're still there. You're not. I call that a bad trance. So notice the body, tap on the body, and then change the references, the cause. Learn to like you, love you, be kind within you, and change what you need to change inside. As you do that, the world will shift and change. #eutaptics #FasterEFT #RobertGeneSmith #SkillsToChange #NervousSystemRegulation #EFTTapping

If you create a new memory and it's positive, and you still got the negative memory, guess which one shows up. 👉 Free Course: skillstochange.com/...ages/get-started It's not the good one. It's the bad one that shows up. Inside of the bad memory there's protection and pain. That's what anxiety is for. Your body is trying to protect you or prepare you for something bad happening, even though it's just old programming. So instead of creating a different one, you go to the original memory and start updating all the elements inside of it. Every face, every character, every action, every sound, every smell and every color. Then you embellish it by putting new stuff in it. Six ways of imprinting. I do teach that. You can learn how to do that yourself. Memories aren't the real thing. When you visit one, it feels like it's happening again. That person's gone. You're not there. It's your brain playing its own internal theater, with seats that vibrate and bodies that cry and wince. So you can change and update that. #eutaptics #FasterEFT #RobertGeneSmith #SkillsToChange #NervousSystemRegulation

When you only address the body, the body is the smoke detector. 👉 Free Course: skillstochange.com/...ages/get-started It's ringing the alarm. But if you don't turn the stove off, the body keeps ringing the alarm. The vagus nerve is only a messenger. It's not the message. It sends up the message and it receives a message. It's an information highway. It carries love and joy too. Fear and worry. Anxiety. There's nothing wrong with that. Where's your focus? If you just want to relax the body, you can. But the fire alarm will go off again because the memories are still alive inside. The fire's still on the stove. You go to the references inside the mind, inside your memories, and create a shift inside. We have what you call imprints. The brain's the scorekeeper. Chasing the nerves will never change the memories. #eutaptics #FasterEFT #RobertGeneSmith #SkillsToChange #NervousSystemRegulation #NervousSystemReset

Is memory really stored in the body? 👉 Free Course: skillstochange.com/...ages/get-started All right, so big time pain exercise. What kind of somatic work can you do to solve how you feel in your body? How do you solve it? A lot of people have a lot of pain, a lot of anxiety, frustration occurring inside your body, but how do you end it? How do you stop it? Your tightness in your shoulders, the pressure, your head hurts. What do you do? How do you solve this? First of all, I don't treat anybody, I don't diagnose. I address memories and references. And nothing I will say or do or recommend to stop, start, or change any medication, that's between you and your doctor. But one of the things I do is help people understand what's occurring inside your brain. What is your brain doing and how does it work, and how do you change how you feel, how you change how your body is responding, how you respond to the world in a different way. We got a lot of anxiety going on. So, somatic healing. Where does somatic healing come from? What does it mean? Understanding, you know, they see the deer being chased by a tiger or a lion, and by the time they're done, they shake a leg and then they go back to eating. So, is memory really stored in the body? That's the $100 question, and I do wanna challenge anything that says otherwise. Now let me just say this. When you're stressed, when you're walking through life, when you're experiencing pain, or you wake up, you've had a nightmare, how do you know? Consciously, how do you know? You feel it in your body. Your body is speaking based on what the mind holds. #eutaptics #FasterEFT #RobertGeneSmith #SkillsToChange

Does the body keep the score? 👉 Free Course: skillstochange.com/...ages/get-started I always say that the brain is like a stereo. The volume is how loud the speaker speaks. The body is the speaker. You can't blame the speaker for the sound and the noise or the song playing because you're wasting your time. Now, can you calm the body? Yes, you can. But it doesn't change the record that plays to make your body sing or scream from what's happening. So does the body keep the score? No, it shares a score. People who say it's the body are missing the most important part about our whole operating system. It's the amazing brain of ours. I call the brain the intelligent idiot and the faithful servant. The reason I call it the intelligent idiot is because it's very smart. But what it sees and what it experiences and what it takes in, internalizes, it doesn't judge it bad or good. So you can show it how to use a knife or scissors. It'll cut your pillow up, it'll cut your shoes up, it'll cut your clothes up because it's really good at cutting things, unless we educate it and change its information. So the body speaks the truth the brain holds. #eutaptics #FasterEFT #RobertGeneSmith #SkillsToChange

Vagus nerve exercises work. Your breathing drops, your shoulders come down, your body settles. Then two hours later you are right back where you started. You turned the volume down. You never touched what was playing. That is why the breathing works for an hour. Why the humming works while you are doing it. Why the cold water on the face feels great, and then somebody says the wrong thing at dinner and your chest is tight again. LIVE this Thursday, 1pm Central. I will teach you three vagus nerve exercises for anxiety, and then the part almost nobody teaches. What to do after your body calms down, so the calm holds. Your nervous system is not broken. It is a faithful servant. It is running a recording, and every time something in your day matches that recording, it fires the same alarm it fired the first time. The exercise turns the alarm down. It does not touch the recording. WHAT I COVER - Three vagus nerve exercises you can do in under two minutes - Why the calm wears off, and what that is telling you - What your body is actually responding to - Where to aim before you tap - Working with somebody live, start to finish - Your questions from the chat Bring one thing that has been bothering you. We will work on it together. I have worked with somewhere between twenty and thirty thousand people over twenty-seven years. Not one of them was broken. Every one of them was running a program. LIVE EVERY THURSDAY, 1PM CENTRAL Free training and the Calm and Reset program: skillstochange.mn.co/plans/1995459 Free course and Master Training: skillstochange.com Come find your issue on this channel. Type your problem into the search on my channel page, and you will find real people who had it and what changed. I do not treat, and I do not diagnose. I address memories and references. I help people make peace with their past. Nothing here is a reason to start, stop or change any medication. That is between you and your doctor. This is Robert Gene.

The memory's gonna be there to protect you. 👉 Free Course: skillstochange.com/...ages/get-started Let me just say this. Tapping will not solve your problem. It can help you adjust the problem. So when you have a big traumatic memory and it's pretty strong, there's ways to diffuse its intensity so that you can actually get close to doing it. I've been practicing the tapping process for 27, almost 28 years now. I started in 99. I was trying to figure out why doesn't it always work. What are the missing pieces? I have a process called defractionation, which is a complete flow system that guarantees a rewritten memory, and there's, in the middle of it, there's defract, which is a pattern interrupt, which also you can call tapping. There's lots of ways of updating memory. So what you wanna do is, what I teach my students, I'll have a notebook here. I say, "Grab your notebook, and you're gonna work your problem on a piece of paper." And again, we have the A.R.T. of Change® questions. You ask the questions, it gives you structure, and then you start dismantling the pieces and parts. Another thing too, logically, you know this. You obviously know this, it's over. You're no longer that age. It happened, but this memory is encoded, and also the memory to the brain, what's conscious all the way to the brain, that memory is a good thing. It gave you how the world is. The memory's gonna be there to protect you. Post-traumatic stress directive is not a problem. It's a coping mechanism. So a panic attack is trying to keep you from getting hurt or having a heart attack like I thought I was gonna have, right? Or die. So the brain uses memories to protect you, and anxiety, panic attacks, fears and phobias are all results of what your brain captured. Now, if you can logically go in and adjust the internalization, update, change of memory, you're free. As a matter of fact, if you do it really well the way I teach it, you know it happened, you can't make it bother you, and you have a new outcome. #eutaptics #FasterEFT #RobertGeneSmith #SkillsToChange #EFTTapping

Why do you love food? 👉 Free Course: skillstochange.com/...ages/get-started You update the memory. Say, for example, a very common program is, "I love food. I love food. I love chocolate, I love ice cream, I love to eat." Now again, there's good feelings there, isn't there? And what does that produce for you? A bad result. You got obesity, you got health issues because you're eating. So the brain links things together, and they play together. Now, since you love food and you're gonna go on a diet, right? This is why diets fail. They don't address the linking inside of the brain. Why do you love food? Well, because I always say, "Grandma, it makes me feel love." So feeding me equals love. So now you're not feeling love, your brain says, "Let's go eat. Now clean your plate, people are dying." So these are conditioned emotional conditions that make you do something that keeps you in harm, but it's driven by a positive emotion. It's misalignment and mislinking in the brain. So what do you do? You go update the memories and change how they reference, and then also put the logical part in there. You need power. You need to be able to shift how you feel now, and be able to change your whole future by adjusting and changing your past. It works, I guarantee you that. #eutaptics #FasterEFT #RobertGeneSmith #SkillsToChange

The damage was still there. The pain wasn't. 👉 Free Course: skillstochange.com/...ages/get-started She walks with a walker, severe pain, had it for a long time. So she's laying there in bed and says, "I'm going to mimic what Robert did in class, by addressing her pain." So she did. She fell asleep. Ten years later, she's at her doctor's office, and they're looking at her shoulder. He goes, "How much medication are you taking for the pain in your shoulder?" She says, "I don't take anything." He goes, "How are you not having pain? It's bone to bone." Pain's not there. The damage there, but the pain isn't there. Most people may not realize that the body is an honest expression of unconscious resources. The brain is the master controller of pain and no pain. We look at John Sarno's work when he did the work with people who had knee pain. People who had damage in their knee, real pain, real damage. And then people who have no damage and real pain. And some people have damage and no pain. Of course, when he did it, he did fake surgeries. He'd cut their knee open, sew it back up. No real surgery. And a good percentage of them had no pain. So what is the deal? Is the body the scorekeeper, or is it the brain? #eutaptics #FasterEFT #RobertGeneSmith #SkillsToChange #NervousSystemRegulation

I thought I was having a heart attack at the airport. 👉 Free Course: skillstochange.com/...ages/get-started 2025. I decided to take a trip, go to Hawaii. And I'm in the Chicago airport and I feel like I'm having a heart attack. I go, "What, what's happening? What's going on?" I get on the plane and I arrive at my destination and go, "What was that?" I work with thousands of people with panic attacks, and that's exactly what they say. "I feel like I'm having a heart attack." They go to the hospital, there's nothing wrong with my heart. Consciously, did I know what it was? Had no idea. So I asked myself, did anything bad happen at the airport? Nothing. Then I remembered, two different times, running through the airport, dragging luggage, thinking, "I feel like I'm gonna die." I didn't remember that, but my brain did, and it happened twice. So I changed those memories, just how they were internalized. Now I'm consciously aware of what's going on inside my body when I fly. Nothing. 100% calm. My body was speaking based on a memory recorded that I had no conscious understanding that I even had. This is how your body works. This is how your brain works. #eutaptics #FasterEFT #RobertGeneSmith #SkillsToChange #VagusNerve #PanicAttack #NervousSystemRegulation

Your brain is a survival system. 👉 Free Course: skillstochange.com/...ages/get-started We call the brain the intelligent idiot because all it does is takes in and gives out. It doesn't say it's bad or good. If you had a traumatic childhood and you survived, this part of your brain is gonna give it back to you today. Boom. It's a survival system. Your world is built from your basic understanding, your survival of your home world, from what you experience. But today, here you are, you have a zap in your body, you feel bad, and as you feel bad, what you consciously notice is, "I have pain right here in my ankle, my knee, my body." Now you look at this knee, and you know, we look at some of John Sarno's work. He X-rayed knees. One knee has no cartilage, no pain. One knee has cartilage, and they have pain. The one that has cartilage shouldn't have pain, and the one that doesn't have cartilage should have pain. What's the difference? #eutaptics #FasterEFT #RobertGeneSmith #SkillsToChange

It's hard to concentrate when you're busy worrying about something. 👉 Free Course: skillstochange.com/...ages/get-started Now here it is, the psychiatric nurse. She came to see me, and she's been diagnosed ADD or ADHD. And of course she said, "Robert, there's no way I could learn at school. It's impossible. 'Cause while I'm at school, I'm worrying about what's gonna happen when I get home." Now, you're sitting here with me, and you're worrying about what's gonna happen at work or when you go back home, and your husband or wife are gonna be upset with you. It's hard to concentrate when you're busy worrying about something. And that's how she created ADD, ADHD. #eutaptics #FasterEFT #RobertGeneSmith #SkillsToChange #EFTTapping

100 things he hated about school. 👉 Free Course: skillstochange.com/...ages/get-started It's hard to concentrate when you're busy worrying about something. And that's how she created ADD, ADHD. Now, by the way, this is not a disorder. Nothing wrong with your children. The problem is that they don't have coping skills, and so they're worrying about things. They had trauma. School is a major emotional trauma for him. I wanted him to write down 100 things he hates about school. Her parents said, "There's no way he could do that." But they went ahead, and they gave him this assignment, and 20 minutes later, he had a list of 100 things he hated about school. On that phone session, all I did is tap on and address the 100 things he hated about school, changing the emotional dynamics. At one point, he was crying, and the parent says, "What do we do? He's crying." I said, "Keep tapping, keep tapping. Keep doing as I tell you." Now, they carry him home. He's like a limp doll after that session. The next morning, they were completely shocked. He was dressed, standing at the door, ready to go to school. It's all because we address emotions and feelings, because a child will pick up a belief somewhere, and it will drive their whole entire life. #eutaptics #FasterEFT #RobertGeneSmith #SkillsToChange #EFTTapping

If you're ignorant of your own brain, you're going to blame your body. A woman came to one of my seminars in Oklahoma City back in 2002. Nineteen orthopedic surgeries. She couldn't walk without a walker. For her, getting out of bed to go get her medication and get back in bed was a major act of Congress. She'd had pain in her shoulder for forty years. She sat in that room and copied what I did. She didn't know what she was doing. She was just mimicking and mirroring. That shoulder pain went away, and it's been over ten years now. She goes to the doctor. He's got the little ultrasound thing on her shoulder. She's in her seventies. He says, how much medication are you taking for the pain in your shoulder? She says, I don't have any pain in my shoulder. He says, I can't see how you cannot have pain in your shoulder. There's nothing but bone to bone. Her brain was programmed not to have pain. That's the difference. The body is a servant. It sends up; the brain translates; the body follows what the brain is running. Aim at the body with TRE, shaking, breathwork, somatic release, or tapping used as emotional escapism, and you can relax the body. You didn't touch what put it there. Most people are dead from the neck up. They know nothing about their own mind. You've been told you can't trust yourself in there. Stay busy. Work. Eat chocolate. Don't visit. Because first of all, you don't know what's in there, and second, you don't know how to deal with what's in there. So when you feel bad, you go looking outside. It must be the weather. Must be the stapler. Must be the wine I drank three years ago. And you forget about the conversation with your wife ten minutes ago. WHAT'S IN THIS ONE The body is a servant, and what that actually means How the unconscious starts recording at birth and never stops The two amygdalae, and why I call them librarians on fifty cups of coffee Four times four, and what twelve seconds proves about conscious awareness The intelligent idiot: it takes in, and it gives out, and it never says bad or good John Sarno's knees. One has no cartilage and no pain. The other has cartilage and hurts. The woman with nineteen surgeries and forty years of shoulder pain The nurse who couldn't learn at school because she was worrying about home The boy who could write his name perfectly backward, and his hundred things Why the heart doesn't decide anything I've worked with twenty to thirty thousand people over twenty-seven years.

She tapped away a pain that she's had for 40 years. 👉 Free Course: skillstochange.com/...ages/get-started She had 19 orthopedic surgeries. She walked with a walker. She came to one of my seminars. She had pain in her shoulder, bursitis. She'd had it for 40 years. And by merely addressing it, using the tapping, even though she didn't know what she was doing, she was just mimicking and mirroring what I said and did, she tapped away a pain that she's had for 40 years. Now it's been over ten years. Over ten years, the bursitis pain is not there. She goes to the doctor. The doctor has this little ultrasound-like thing, and he's looking at her. She's in her seventies. He goes, "How much medication are you taking for the pain in your shoulder?" She says, "I don't have any pain in my shoulder."

You already know how to hunt. You've been doing it your whole life. Every no. Every slight. Every sideways look. You tracked it, mounted it, hung it on the wall, and walked that hallway at night. Best hunter in the county. Just hunting the wrong game. Here's what nobody tells you: **your brain is going to collect something.** What you notice. What you replay. What you rehearse. What you keep looking for. So what have you got it aimed at? **Aim it at better. Hunt for better. On purpose. Today.** 👉 **Learn more about eutaptics® and FasterEFT™:** skillstochange.mn.co/...paces/23484396 Sometimes what you're reacting to today isn't really about today. The heart pounds. The stomach tightens. The shoulders come up. Somebody says something, gives you a look, or pushes the right button—and there you go. Same reaction. Same TV rerun. Why? Your brain knows how to do it. It learned from experiences, memories, repetition, and emotional conditioning. And when something today matches what it already knows, the old program can run automatically. That's why **coping isn't the same as changing at the root.** You can try to think positively over an old program. You can distract yourself from it. You can manage it. Or you can change the memories and emotional patterns your brain keeps pulling from. **Change the memory. Change the response.** And here's another part of it: start giving your brain something better to collect. I had Patty start writing down the good stuff she noticed. Small things. The hot coffee. Something beautiful. Somebody being kind. A moment that felt good. She started hunting for better. That's the idea behind the Happy Journal. Not just positive thinking. **Positive action.** Before you go to bed tonight: 1. Catch one good thing. 2. Say it out loud. 3. Write it down. 4. Tomorrow, hunt again. Your brain already knows how to collect. Give it something better to collect. And when the old trophies are still hanging on the wall, don't argue with them. **Tap it out. Update the memory.** Same good eye. Brand-new season. **Update the trophies. Season's open.** — Robert Gene Founder of eutaptics® / FasterEFT™ --- 🎵 HUNT FOR BETTER — LYRICS I was a world-class collector of the ugly. Every no I ever heard, I had it mounted and lit. Every boss, every fight, every sideways look — buddy, I could track a slight through six feet of snow. Best hunter you ever met. Just hunting the wrong game. Hunt for better! (hunt for better!) New trophies on the wall! Same good eye, brand new season — hunt for better, that's all! So I had myself a dumpster day. Took the whole sorry collection down. Forty years of mounted misery, out the door and gone by noon. You can't hang the new stuff on a full wall. Somebody had to make some room. Hunt for better! (hunt for better!) New trophies on the wall! Same good eye, brand new season — hunt for better, that's all! Now I'm out at dawn with the same sharp eye, and brother, the woods are full. My sweetheart's laugh. The good hot coffee. A grandbaby on the way. A stranger waving me through. I bag 'em, I mount 'em, I walk that hallway nightly. Finest collection in town. Hunt for better! (hunt for better!) New trophies on the wall! Same good eye, brand new season — hunt for better, that's all! Now here's the truth about a collector: he don't ever quit collecting. They can't. That eye's gonna hunt something till the day it closes. The only question that ever mattered is what you got it aimed at. Hunt for better! (hunt for better!) New trophies on the wall! Same good eye, brand new season — hunt for better, that's all! Update the trophies. Season's open. --- 🧠 **Want to learn how to change the patterns instead of just coping with them?** Learn eutaptics® / FasterEFT™: skillstochange.mn.co/...paces/23484396 🌐 skillstochange.com Subscribe for more from Robert Gene—teaching, tapping, trainings, and songs about how your mind actually works. **Song written and produced by Robert Gene.** People find this song searching for: Robert Gene, Robert Gene Smith, Hunt for Better, eutaptics, FasterEFT, Faster EFT, EFT tapping, tapping, retrain your brain, reprogram your mind, emotional triggers, change old patterns, change your memories, nervous system regulation, stop negative thinking, gratitude practice, positive action, subconscious programming, emotional healing, personal transformation, self improvement, train your brain, change your mind. #HuntForBetter #RobertGene #eutaptics #FasterEFT #Tapping

I asked my kids, "When you were growing up, how was life with me as a dad?" 👉 Free Course: skillstochange.com/...ages/get-started Because I don't know how I was as a dad. I was just being normal. And I asked my kids, they go, "Well, Dad, you were the no man. You were the angry man." It opened a world to me that I didn't know existed, and that is emotional craziness. I mean, I'm being honest. #eutaptics #FasterEFT #RobertGeneSmith #SkillsToChange #Parenting #EmotionalHealing

Pain. When you have a pain, the problem is not the pain itself. 👉 Free Course: skillstochange.com/...ages/get-started The problem is a metaphoric expression of your unconsciousness. Here's the weird thing. You don't know how to go inside the nut. You don't know how to crack your nut. You don't know how to figure out what's in there. So what we do is we have several processes. One, we have what you call the art of change. The art of change is a listening strategy that goes in and pulls out how your brain, unconscious mind, will generate and create pain. It's just a bunch of questions. And then what you do is you find the answers to the questions, even though consciously when you get these answers, it doesn't make sense to you consciously. Because we're actually dealing with something that you're not familiar with, and that is your brain. #eutaptics #FasterEFT #RobertGeneSmith #SkillsToChange #ChronicPain #NervousSystemRegulation

You had to be tough. 👉 Free Course: skillstochange.com/...ages/get-started This is how the brain works. This is how the body works. This is how pain works. I can't heal you. I really can't. I can't even heal the simple cold. But I know there's a part of your unconsciousness that knows how to heal you. Have you ever noticed when you get a cut, somehow the body has this great ability to heal the cut? It's really strange. It just does it all by itself. Or you bite your cheek, and next thing you know, it's gone. #eutaptics #FasterEFT #RobertGeneSmith #SkillsToChange #NervousSystemRegulation

It's Not My Story That Made You Sad 👉 Free Course: skillstochange.com/...ages/get-started You need to be emotionally more intelligent, and how you become more emotionally intelligent is you go inside your head and change the things that you're using on other people's words. If I tell you a story and you're feeling sad, it's not my story that made you sad. It's how you internalize it and represent it. You're using your world to distort how you feel. #eutaptics #FasterEFT #RobertGeneSmith #SkillsToChange

Whatever You Think, Your Body Follows 👉 Free Course: skillstochange.com/...ages/get-started Your body is the unconscious expression of all recordings. You can say "I love you," but everything you do says "I can't stand you." Or you can say "I hate you," and do everything that says "I love you." It's just weird. So it's like you got the two sides of the coin all together. What we want to do is clean up and clear out the sides that are conflicting. #eutaptics #FasterEFT #RobertGeneSmith #SkillsToChange

The Body Is the Expression of Your Whole Life 👉 Free Course: skillstochange.com/...ages/get-started What you have to do is go to the deep parts, the bad parts, clean those up. Once you bring them together, you create a harmony within your body, within your mind, within your spine, within your feet, within your head, within your eyes. Because the brain is an autobiography expression through the body. The body is the expression of your whole life. #eutaptics #FasterEFT #RobertGeneSmith #SkillsToChange

I'm Just a Big Kid Who Never Grew Up 👉 Free Course: skillstochange.com/...ages/get-started If I get something new, I want to show everybody. Not bragging, just excited, because I'm like a big kid. We're talking about how your emotional life impacts your physical health, it's a metaphoric expression of what's going on inside your mind. It's called body language. #eutaptics #FasterEFT #RobertGeneSmith #SkillsToChange
