We call it many things. Emotional overeating, comfort eating, binge eating, sugar addiction, choc-oholic, and then the mean statements about the downstream effects, the love handles, the chubby cheeks, the loosened belt buckle. What is it REALLY? It's a wire. That wire is a "survival circuit" and if you break that circuit and, by the way, get your whole brain to be wired at 1 so you aren't always tripping that circuit, then there is peace at last. Weight loss is nearly meaningless, because if that survival circuit that is triggered the overeating isn't clipped, then another excess takes hold, and we are not free. When did you go to a commercial weight program or a diet doctor and hear that your job was to turn off the drive to overeat, to stop wanting it? If they told you that, you might have laughed or may not have believed them. When I had one of those realizations that we have when driving (probably too close to the van in front of me) or languishing in the shower (I was driving), that these circuits were wired at Brain State 5, when we are so stressed that unless you know that and target it, you will have to live with it. When a circuit is encoded in stress - of betrayal, abandonment, physical pain, metabolic upset -- it is stored behind the curtain. We can't access it because when we arouse it we have to be in Brain State 5. In that state our mind turns off! So we become prisoners of our own circuits. In EBT we are rewiring them! Our new programs (short term Boulders and Peas or Life at 1 - for weight loss), you will learn those skills. Right now I hope you will think about those circuits, the ones that we defend and don't know what to do about, because we really can't even see it, because it was wired at Brain State 5. Read more »
So, I'm creating JOY in my life. That's my JOB, because if I matter, I take my power, and I use my brain and body to create joy in my life, then I'm going to be a beacon of light, and not be crabby, numb, on edge or miserable. That sounds like a good thing. So I'm looking around my house and wondering if I am creating this nice little play pen for myself. Not what anyone else would like, but my personalized play pen. I have JUST what I need to make MYSELF enormously happy. Let's see. I have my cat, and she is loving and so soft and sweet. She lets me carry her around the house like a baby, and doesn't even act like she is tolerating me. She is that sweet. Then I have my bookshelves. I LOVE looking at the books, sifting through the books, and remembering reading the books and discovering what they say. I have a hot shower and I LOVE the heat on my shoulders and all the splashes of water. But what else could I do to make my house feel like my own personal playpen? What do you do to create joy from all the natural pleasures . . .speaking of that, I think I will go play my piano . . . and put my running shoes by the front door, so I go for a run tomorrow morning . . . 
We're looking at options for doing a PBS special on the method, and whether or not we do, it won't be on air for a year. Yet in the meanwhile, we wonder about a reality show on the method or ecourses for each kit with videos of action sessions so that you could really experience the method with others via video. Would you like to be part of a group that was on video? The nature of EBT groups is so intimate and special -- each Cycle is new and fresh -- that video worries me. What are your thoughts about how to bring the method to more people, including who cannot find their way into professional groups and telegroups? We know that when people move through the kits with the support of a group or telegroup, they go forward. When they stop the group their emotional brain is relieved. The love and power of the group is what keeps people doing the amazing work that ends up creating a new life. We're considering various options. Let us know!
