What Lindsay Has to Say about the Event
A bit on EFT Tapping:
Emotional Freedom Techniques (aka EFT Tapping) is a combo of acupressure and neuroscience. It effectively and simply removes ‘blockages’ in the bodies energy system. ‘The Tapping Solution’ describes EFT like this -
Tapping provides relief from chronic pain, emotional problems, disorders, addictions, phobias, post traumatic stress disorder, and physical diseases.
While Tapping is newly set to revolutionise the field of health and wellness, the healing concepts that it’s based upon have been in practice in Eastern medicine for over 5,000 years.
Like acupuncture and acupressure, Tapping is a set of techniques which utilise the body’s energy meridian points. You can stimulate these meridian points by tapping on them with your fingertips – literally tapping into your body’s own energy and healing power.
Your body is more powerful than you can imagine… filled with life, energy, and a compelling ability for self-healing.
With Tapping, you can take control of that power.
How does EFT Tapping work?
Our body’s energy system has a profound electrical nature. Electrical messages are constantly sent through the body to inform it of what is going on.
For example, if we touch something very hot, we feel the pain instantly because it is electrically transmitted to the brain quickly via our nerves.
EFT is a simple and noninvasive process that can be learnt by almost anyone and is based on the ethos of making change as pain free as possible.
EFT can bring relief from emotional, mental, or physical pain.
This includes unresolved anger, fear and traumas which can affect our relationships, confidence, self-worth and also our physical health.
In essence, EFT is a “no needles” version of acupuncture that can give you profound relief from emotional and physical issues.
It involves a two stage process whereby
1) you “tune in” to your specific issues whilst
2) tapping with your fingers on certain meridian or energy points on the body just beneath the surface of the skin.
EFT Tapping can help YOU to interrupt that stress pattern of ‘fight-flight-freeze for yourself and release those stress hormones your body has been flooded with, and begin to retrain your body and mind to respond differently!

Same Food as Self Care
Guided by Jenny Loughran, Scott Neilson & Laura Hellfeld
We're Fundraising for Autistic Revolution!
Autistic Revolution is a new, international digital magazine that is developed exclusively by autistic and otherwise neurodivergent folk. We have created Autistic Revolution to help provide information and build community.
We have been thrilled that so many of you have accessed our launch issue and we are busy creating issue 2 for February.
Currently, Autistic Revolution is being managed, produced & financially supported by volunteers.
While we are taking steps to secure additional funding sources, we are keen to keep the magazine going & to access our software as a team.
Therefore, we are excited to announce that we are hosting our webinar ‘Same Food as Self Care’ on February 27th as a fundraiser for Autistic Revolution.
Please secure your space via the EventBrite link & choosing a 'Donation' ticket. You will then be prompted to write in a donation amount that you are comfortable with giving to AR.
Webinar Description:
Together we will explore the Neurodivergent food trait of ‘same food’. Same foods are foods that we have a great attachment to, our personal favourites. We may eat these foods every day in order to bring ourselves routine or comfort.
Participants will be welcomed to draw or look up an image of one of their same foods. Please have creative tools (Ie. colouring pencils, paper, wrappers) on hand! For those comfortable, we can share these foods and community moment with one another.
We will then explore our emotional & sensory responses to our chosen same food. Participants will be encouraged to draw or write what emotions, colours, shapes, music (or anything else!) that they feel when thinking of their same food. We will explore how our same foods therefore provide an important piece to our mental well-being & self-care.
Participants will then be guided to create scripts for themselves to help navigate social eating scenarios & advocate their food needs.
Please note that this session is to facilitate fun and exploration and is not a support session.
We Hope that You Can Join Us
