How EFT and Meditation Work Together – Dawson Church

by

Dawson is an award-winning science writer with three best-selling books to his credit. *The Genie in Your Genes* was the first book to demonstrate that emotions drive gene expression; *Mind to Matter* showed that the brain creates much of what we think of as “objective reality”; and *Bliss Brain* demonstrates that peak mental states rapidly remodel the brain for happiness. He has conducted dozens of clinical trials, and founded the National Institute for Integrative Healthcare to promote groundbreaking new treatments. Its largest program, the Veterans Stress Project, has offered free treatment to more than 20,000 veterans with PTSD over the past decade. Dawson shares how to apply these health and performance breakthroughs through the EFT Universe website, one of the largest alternative medicine sites on the web.
