Artificial Intelligence Revolution our Lives

Artificial Intelligence Revolution our Lives

Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google, has expressed:“Artificial intelligence is perhaps the most important thing humanity has ever worked on. I think it's more profound than electricity or fire.”On the other hand, Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, stated:"Artificial Intelligence represents the greatest threat to the existence of humanity."What exactly is this digital modality that is invading all fields of human activity and generating such disparate opinions from the most informed experts? Some opinions suggest that it will pose serious risks to many jobs, while others argue that it will create new job opportunities for those who are trained in it.This book aims to answer these questions and others in a language that is clear and free of the technical jargon used by specialists.The main goal of the book is for you, dear reader:1. To have the information that allows you to become acutely aware of the unprecedented impact of AI on absolutely every aspect of your life, work, health, education, entertainment, etc., which will change in unforeseen dimensions.2. To be aware of the astonishing speed at which this impact is being imposed.3. To use the advantages of the new conditions generated by techno disruption to your advantage.4. To be aware of the futility and drawbacks of resisting and ignoring these repercussions, especially regarding training and job opportunities.5. To be motivated to adopt lifelong learning (LL), which will be required without exceptions in the new conditions.6. Some of the information mentioned in the text may be considered incredible, which is why the sources are mentioned in each case.

The Ride to Enlightenment: and some other poems I wrote while depressed

The Ride to Enlightenment: and some other poems I wrote while depressed

The Ride to Enlightenment is a poetry book written between 2022 and 2023 and shows the experiences lived by the author, Joaquín Andrade, who speaks of topics such as heartbreaks, falling in love, depression, the longing of running away, overcoming fears and challenging situations, and other topics that almost everyone has gone through. Inspired by some authors like Lana Del Rey and Rupi Kapur, The Ride to Enlightenment captures the essence of "I'm not feeling that great, but I know it'll pass, I'll just wait".

Mercenary

Mercenary

In the last ten years, surveys from different countries suggest, that the proportion of people dissatisfied with their work is, worldwide, very high, around 50%.This book intends to be a useful guide to face a phenomenon, that perhaps, has no precedent in current history: the abrupt, unpredictable and violent changes in our habits, aspirations, future expectations and uncertainty and fears, generated by the post-digital era added to the viral pandemic, about how we will function and work in the future to come.If we had, from an early age, a clear awareness of the transience of life, we would take a clear attitude of:- Be clear about our sense of purpose.- Live each moment in the here and now, according to it.- Prepare ourselves to face new working conditions with new skills and abilities.- Enjoy each moment, without compromising the moments that will follow.- Work to live...live to work...or enjoy every day, hour and minute of what I do?Undoubtedly, to live fully, we will need to adapt to new conditions and circumstances in all fields.The noun "mercenary" in the title, does not imply in any way, a disdainful consideration for those workers that, in most cases, have been forced by personal and social circumstances, often tragic, to survive through a particular work activity.Nor do we refer to those people who, without training and without employability skills, in today's world of growing and changing technological demands, have to perform any task to be able to meet their basic needs.We refer instead, to those individuals who perform a certain job role because it "pays well"... (“but... do you like what you do?...no...I hate it...but I earn more than in other jobs...").And to those others who feel trapped in their work....We use the euphemism "labor prostitute", to refer to labor mercenaries, who "suffer" their job for eight, and sometimes more hours a day, for decades, performing an activity they hate, or at least are indifferent to, or do not enjoy....

Healing with medical cannabis

Healing with medical cannabis

This book is for you, who are the mother or father of a child with certain health problems for whom the best conventional treatments, applied by responsible and knowledgeable professionals have not yielded the expected results.And for you, who suffer from various disorders, that have not responded adequately to the usual therapeutic measures.And for people with diseases, whose conventional treatments have severe adverse effects.And also to you who are the son, grandson or relative of an older adult, who has disordersthat impede a good quality of life ...Likewise, we address health professionals interested in this therapeutic option, to inform them the most relevant information, by 2020/21, on the clinical use of medical cannabis.One of the objectives of this book is to inform about a very fast therapeutic option, incessantly growing in the world, among patients and also among health professionals, which is the subject of intense research at prestigious universities in more than 20 countries.We refer to the medical use of cannabis, which can improve positive responses in a number of disorders resistant to standard treatments, the list of which is continually growing.Author’s intentions are:- to inform what medical cannabis (hereinafter MC) really is,- its currently accepted indications and forms of administration (which are expanded and change rapidly), at very particular times in the development of cannabis in the world,- its contraindications,- to make absolutely clear that in all cases, the use of MC must be indicated and supervised by a health professional, avoiding self medication,- to advise about the necessary precautions in choosing the appropriate products for each case,- to inform where useful products are obtained,- also to prevent and manage any possible adverse effects,- to prevent MC interactions with other medicines,- to clear the preconceptions, prejudices and false beliefs about MC,- to make clear that the medical use of cannabis, i

When our mind sicks us

When our mind sicks us

The authors, a medical doctor and a registered nurse, with almost 50 years of clinical experience in several countries, master degrees in two neuro scientific specialties (psycho immuno neuroendocrinology and psycho neuro pharmacology), guest speakers at univeristies, physical education teacher/master, post degree in positive psychology, elite sports practitioners and trainers and corporative consultants for great international corporations, have studied all their life, the link between mind and body, the influence of emotions in physical illness, the consciousness ability to keep and enhance health and wellness and the maximal performance of human potentials. In this text, they give all their accumulated experience, the most updated scientific information and precise techniques so the mind and consciousness can be on the side of health, happiness and the achievement of the highest human purposes.Most of the time, we are invaded by mandates, negative beliefs, trauma, disturbing emotions, cultural prejudice, limiting beliefs, etc. that like an infiltrated "virus" in our program, perfect by nature, once and again unconsciously block, sabotage and freeze our conscious intent to improve, with maladaptive behaviors or actions that induce alterations, not just in our state of mind, but in our physical health too? Behind every manifest illness, we can often find, if we carefully search, a conflict, a traumatic situation, etc., most of them not consciously perceived, or placed far back in time, that have slowly undermined, as an insidious worm, the heart of being.The authors get into these paths of illness producers... and/or of health enhancing, investigating carefully, explaining and showing step by step these avatars of the human mind and endorsing all this with the corresponding research work.In its 10 chapters, the book explores the body-mind-consciousness problem, as interacting agents in illness, health and human optimum performance.

Avoiding divorce is possible: PNL

Avoiding divorce is possible: PNL

One day, without prior notice (or with prior signs of deterioration in the relationship...), your partner tells you that they want to separate.These cases, which we see more and more frequently in our practice (during the pandemic, ironically there was talk of "crown divorces"...), motivate the writing of this book, with the aim of offering practical NLP tools and other systems, easy to apply, and very effective and fast, to avoid, if that is the objective, the collapse of a love relationship that culminates in divorce or separation.We underline "if that is the objective", because these tools are not applied when both members of the couple are calmly and reflexively agree to end the relationship, or when the person who reads this is the one who decides the end of the couple.Yes, the techniques that act on oneself are applied in all cases.The strategies that we describe come from different disciplines, particularly NLP, and can also be applied to other affective losses, such as children who threaten to leave early, siblings and other loved ones who distance themselves, etc., losses that are present. in everyone's life and have deep intra and interpersonal negative consequences.

Quit smoking without suffering: NLP

Quit smoking without suffering: NLP

The text describes practical advice and techniques of NLP and other systems, that have proven to be extremely effective in helping a person who, based on the terrible harms of smoking, makes the decision to quit.Based on our experience of several decades, we consider these techniques to be the most effective means of quitting smoking, achieving positive responses in a high percentage of cases.ADRIANNE, 29 years old. She consults because she wants to quit smoking, but confesses her skepticism."I’ve quitted smoking five times, but I always relapsed in a short time, and the worst thing is that each time I smoke more than the previous times I tried to quit."In one day, we reiterate, in one day of applying two of the techniques described here, she kicked the habit.She has not smoked for two years...These techniques are easy to learn and to apply to oneself or to another person, whom we wish to help to quit smoking.They are characterized by giving results in a very short time, from one to seven days.They can also be integrated into a treatment program, with other therapeutic resources, and enhance their results.We outline the different measures that are usually applied, pharmacological, behavioral, therapy groups, etc., and we describe the fundamentals of the 7-day program and the systems it includes, particularly NLP.Throughout the book we describe:-How to define and install a strong decision to quit the habit, generate the necessary motivation and apply the strongest intention to succeed.First, work within ourselves: D.M.I.: Decision. Motivation. Intention, for which the techniques of Substitution, Revision and the Telephone Technique are detailed.-Then we describe a powerful technique that facilitates the cessation of the need to smoke, because it dissociates what is imagined from what is felt, in a very fast way, generating a state of light hypnosis, making it possible to reduce and eliminate the desire to smoke.-An NLP technique to manage our internal s

Metaverse

Metaverse

Do you remember the Pokémon Go game, that was all the rage several years ago?Through augmented reality, AR, it made possible for players to "hunt" virtual Pokémons anywhere, using an app on their cell phone.The world of augmented and virtual reality is actually here, not only in video games, but also in some surroundings that simulate a three-dimensional environment, in which the user perceives, through stimuli from all senses; and also in some social networks, applications for education and training, etc.!This is a set of technological disruptions (disruption: abrupt modification of the usual ways of doing things), to which the world's largest companies are aiming, such as the former Facebook, which changed its name to “Meta”, to signify the importance and inevitability of its installation.By its nature, metaverse will generate consequences never seen before in the real world, as we have always known it.Judging by the triggering of events, what is really unprecedented is the speed with which it is being imposed in all fields of human activity, the billions of dollars being invested and the staggering number of people involved.Which allows us to assume that, in a very short time, its different aspects will be incorporated in almost all areas of reality, with unimaginable consequences in the way we work, study, commerce, entertain, travel, take care of our health, etc.Some information is so confusing and contradictory, that it is necessary to clean it up and express it in simple and understandable terms, for those of us who are not computer specialists.Judging by the dizzying speed with which digital technologies have already invaded, and inevitably conditioned, all aspects of our reality, individual, family, social, professional, labor, physical and mental health, education, communication, interpersonal relationships, recreation and entertainment, it is essential to understand what metaverse is and how it can affect our lives.Awareness of the depth and gene

Living and surviving the pandemic

Living and surviving the pandemic

In 2015, Bill Gates predicted on a TedTalk, that the next threat to the world "would not be missiles but VIRUS"In 2020, the United Nations has expressed that the COVID-19 is the worst challenge to humanity since World War II, and that the consequent economic recession in the world will be tremendous.The coronavirus pandemic has surprised the entire world.This is not about localized disasters, such as fires, earthquakes, tsunamis or hurricanes, but about a global calamity, that has mercilessly attacked rich, developed countries like USA, which, according to the Global Health Security Index, was among the best positioned country in the world to face health crises...But sooner or later, and with all the costs that the pandemic causes, it will come to an end.Nothing will ever be the same again.The authors, who wrote a previous book, "Surviving Crises", Amazon-Kindle, focus in the nine Chapters of the present text, on describing the most effective practical strategies and techniques of applied resilience, based on neuroscience, to neutralize and correct the consequences and repercussions, in all fields, of the coronavirus pandemic.Each Chapter is divided into three parts:1.-What to do DURING the pandemic?2.-What to do AFTER, in the post-crisis period?3.-What did I learn and how do I apply it?Chapter 1 describes the consequences of the crisis.Chapter 2 deals with neutralization techniques.Chapter 3 informs about how to counteract the physical consequences.Chapter 4 idem on EMOTIONAL repercussions.Chapter 5 is the same for the PSYCHO-SOCIAL consequences.Chapter 6 deals with how to counteract the SPIRITUAL .Chapter 7 on the consequences on the ORGANIZATIONS and on the ECONOMY.Chapters 8 and 9 answer the question What did we learn? at all ages, to become betterthan before...

Reinvent yourself

Reinvent yourself

To the unstoppable digital disruption, which has altered and will alter industry, the world of work, education, ways of learning, ways of relating to others and our lifestyles in general, must now be added:-The disruption produced by the pandemic, quarantine and post pandemic, which enhance and complicate in a short time, all the previous disruptions and generate, on their own, still more disruptions.-A true mental health pandemic in children, adolescents and adults of all ages, layoffs, lack of work and difficulties to get a new one, difficulties of cultural change to adapt to the new conditions, prolonged physical sequels of COVID-19, unspecific feelings of discomfort, uncertainty, fear, confusion, mental "fog", life dissatisfaction, etc.THE IMPERIOUS NEED TO REINVENT ONESELF...In the face of these universal disruptions, which reinforce each other, two inescapable realities become evident:-The world will no longer be as we knew it, in a multitude of issues.-These definitive changes will demand that everywhere, and due to the vertiginous and constant nature of the changes, we will have to reinvent ourselves, quickly and continuously, in order to face them successfully, at personal, interpersonal, work, professional, social, etc., levels.What does "reinventing oneself" imply?If you...-already have a stable job, the conditions of your job will change and you will have to catch up. But in a short time they will change again...and require new re-adaptation...and so on, because in order to survive in the face of your competitors and new customer demands, changes will be continuous.-If you don't have a job, or you are thinking of changing, you will face demands from employers, that will be: digital solvency, management of soft skills and having the specific skills for that job position.-If you have been out of formal education for years, and have lost the habit of regular studying, you will have to retrain yourself in a process that will require continuous lea

Smart Superfoods

Smart Superfoods

This book is addressed to all people who are clearly aware of the importance of the food they eat, for their health, optimal physical and mental performance, healthy longevity and disease prevention.And who, despite the force of habits and their cultural, family, regional, etc. conditioning, have the rational criteria to become aware of which foods to eat, and which ones to avoid or reduce, for the optimal functioning of their body and mind and the avoidance or reduction of diseases.In the last decade, an avalanche of scientific research has demonstrated, with the highest levels of evidence, that there are some foods that are directly harmful to health (e.g., sausages, processed meats, chip potatoes, etc.), and others that offer exceptional advantages (e.g., cruciferous vegetables, broccoli, blueberries, etc.) to prevent diseases, avoid obesity, achieve optimal physical and mental performance and healthy longevity.The latter, have been colloquially called "superfoods" to distinguish them from directly harmful foods, that are hypercaloric and full of harmful substances (e.g., sausages, chips, etc.), and from the so-called "neutral", empty of nutrients but generally rich in calories (snacks, desserts, flour, etc.), which also "occupy" the place of the beneficial ones.Superfoods should be distinguished from foods that contain numerous nutritional components and antioxidants, in significant quantities, which have been called "nutrient-dense foods" (powerhouse foods).In some cases, both categories are get one over the other.Superfoods should also be distinguished from those that perform different functions depending on the circumstances, or support brain function and cognition (so-called "smart" foods), and from so-called "functional" foods, that contain biologically active ingredients, to fulfill a specific health-related function, or that are industrially modified to fulfill a specific function (e.g., juices to which calcium is added, skim milk from which fat is

The art of Choosing

The art of Choosing

Choosing who to vote for a presidential office is a decision. Decisions are preceded by a process called "decision making".Reader friend, we invite you to reflect....How do you arrive at the most important decisions in your life?About your health...your family's health...your children's education...your family's security and harmony...your socio-cultural progress...your economy...?What personal strategy do you use to make a decision, that has the highest probability of arriving at a positive solution, choosing the best option among all proposals?When it comes to choose national authorities among several candidates, it is frequent, as mentioned above, that "internal" distorting factors, such as passion, overflowing emotions, the need to belong, ideological fanaticism, cultural and family tradition, sympathy, feelings, habit, fear, and cognitive biases (see below), all cloud rational decision making.In order to try to vote by reason and not by passion, the two most relevant questions to ask ourselves as voters are:-Does a given candidate have the necessary conditions (which we will analyze in the text) to face the requirements of the position, in the conditions of this interconnected, digitalized, globalized, diverse and unpredictable world in which we live?and,-Can I read "between the lines", with the least possible passion and conditioning, the multiple messages that the political marketing, campaign and image candidates’ consultants send us, frequently disguising all kinds of defects, weaknesses, negative attitudes and inauthentic expressions, of doubtful and even scarce honesty, and candidates’ omissions and exaggerations, that is, trying to position the "post-truth"?There are many books in several languages, which are dedicated to teach image consultants and political marketing specialists, the strategies and tactics necessary togenerate in electors a positive image of a candidate, not always adjusted to the truth, that motivates voters’ preference.Bu

Those of us left Alive

Those of us left Alive

The pandemic originated by the corona virus, SARS-CoV-2, generates, directly, the disease called COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019), and indirectly, all kinds of disruptive consequences for the usual, every day, external and internal life, of the inhabitants of the whole planet.It is very usual to find political leaders and journalists in the mass media, who express: "Nothing will be the same anymore" and "Everything will change"…In addition to the inappropriate use of absolute adverbs (nothing, everything, never, always, etc.), they do not specify which elements that make up usual, normal human life, will change after the tragic shock of the pandemic.Nor do they suggest measures to assimilate, neutralize and counteract the inevitable consequences and sequels that will occur, more so in some individuals, families, societies and social groups, than in others.The authors, who have already written three books in English and Spanish on the subject, "Living and Surviving the Pandemic: And After COVID-19?," "From Nostradamus to Homer Simpson. Those who predicted the pandemic. Is it possible to predict the future?" and "Get rid of fears, phobias and panic.”Amazon-Kindle, explain in this book, the changes that most probably occur as a consequence of the health, economic and existential crisis produced by the virus, and the necessary measures to control its consequences.There is no doubt that the COVID-19 crisis will pass, whether by the biological evolution and stabilization of the virus itself, the introduction of a vaccine, the discovery of effective drugs to treat it, or by the effect of preventive measures such as lockdown, containment and restriction of displacement and social closeness, as has already happened with all the pandemics that plagued humanity, from the oldest to the most recent.BUT… in regards to its consequences, this particular pandemic will not end when lockdown is lifted…The after effects and consequences are capable of producing an unprecedent

How to let go

How to let go

Negative mental contents, emotions, memories, past events, tragedies, losses, etc., are ballast that accumulate in what we call the "emotional backpack". This emotional ballast, which cannot be handled by our rational mind, can contribute to a multitude of physical and mental affections, and psychosomatic disorders of all types: anxiety, panic, obsessions, depression, impulsivity, lack of control in social and family relationships, etc.On the other hand, unexpected inconveniences, generated by daily life, such as conflicts or unexpected situations, are capable of interrupting our usual life, and of generating great discomfort.How would you receive a simple but extremely powerful technique, which can be applied on old or recent situations, as well as on sudden unsuspected events to LETTING GO!, discharge and get rid of those negative mental contents that like a hangover prevent you from living a full life?No matter what areas of your life you intend to improve: health and well-being, stress relief, emotional balance, self-esteem and motivation, insecurity, problem solving, interpersonal relationships, conflict resolution, professional and work activities, solving contingencies and emergency situations, achieving goals of all kinds that your intention conceives, becoming all that you can be, your search for the transcendent and absolute, etc.., the techniques of LETTING GO! practiced correctly, will enable you to obtain all that...and much more, that you do not even imagine now...usually, in a very fast way...We suggest that you give the opportunity to LETTING GO! and practice the techniques as they are described, without speculations, theoretical discussions, criticisms, or intellectual questioning prior to doing it... and when you achieve the inevitable results, use these consummated facts as factors to draw your subsequent conclusions...This technique is experiential, its results are achieved by practicing it...If LETTING GO! were ONLY useful to dissolve stre

Soft Skill

Soft Skill

“Soft skills. The new wellness-based leadership and management” is one of the few texts in English (with a Spanish version) about the so called "transversal skills" in business management, in current employees and in applicants seeking admission to a job position.From the genre "business and management", it is aimed at the increasingly demanding market of management and supervisory executives, at different levels, in all industries, as well as current employees and applicants for most positions.The "soft skills", human skills that can be developed, such as initiative, the ability to innovate, self-motivation, time management, the ability to learn, unlearn and relearn continuously, etc., are increasingly considered indispensable for achieving the objectives of productivity and profitability, and for the entry, permanence and progress in a work position.The perception and consequent awareness of the paramount importance of Soft Skills for physical, emotional and mental health and well-being of individuals, and their optimal performance in all fields, is not only applicable to the achievement of productivity and profitability objectives of companies, but has reached the level of international organizations, countries, regions and cities.We mention in the text the international organizations, nations, regions, cities and companies that have adopted a welfare management for the achievement of optimum performance.And we also describe how mega corporations such as Google, Airbnb, South west Airlines, the Belgian Social Security, etc., have instituted the executive position of CHO, "Chief Happiness Officer", or "Welfare Manager", with the mission of determining the conditions for the members of a company to express their sense of purpose...with direct repercussions on their optimal performance...and on the achievement of organizational objectives.These facts are not romantic: multiple studies have shown that happy employees, who find and can express their sense of pur

Free yourself of the fear to death

Free yourself of the fear to death

People who were about to die, due to accidents, violence generated by human beings, diseases, etc., and who saw death face to face and up close (like the authors), unanimously express that this experience changed their lives.So do their loved ones, and the health personnel that were in close contact with these people.They seek more meaning in life, define more clearly and very intensely the meaning of their purpose in existence, and try to celebrate life in every moment...and not waste the irretrievable and precious present moments.The title of this book could very well be "Death: A User's Manual", since all, absolutely all human beings without exception, being inexorably ephemeral, will face it at some point....Another possible title could be "The Art of Good Dying", trying to confront death and assume its reality, without fears and in the best possible way for the "holder" and his loved ones.But... a more accurate title could be "A Long, Satisfying and Happy Life: A User's Manual", because, throughout its chapters, it offers physical, rational and emotional management strategies, immediately applicable, to reflect deeply and keep in mind at every moment the inexorable nature of death... which unavoidable leads us, to appreciate how precious and invaluable each present moment of our life is, and how immensely significant is, for our happiness, to live "now" and make the most, in extension and quality, of the life we were granted.This is not a book about philosophy.Nor is it a pessimistic book.It is, instead, a practical and...realistic book, which tries to provide specific techniques, widely tested, so that readers who need them, reflect, recover the sense of reality and live, with the greatest possible happiness, joy and optimism, each of the minutes of the limited life that nature has granted us.Among the countless questions we ask ourselves about our existence, two stand out for their influence on the quality of the life (which we still have...!):Does

Be free from your fears and phobias

Be free from your fears and phobias

As a consequence of the viral pandemic that produces COVID-19, and the unavoidable quarantine and confinement measures instituted for its control, several extra pandemics can be identified, among them a pandemic of fear, which is capable of producing responses of terrifying paralysis, or desperate aggression and discrimination, and a pandemic of the physical and mental consequences and sequels of fear, panic, paranoia, hypochondria, etc.Not only during the health pandemic, but also after it, we will have to face a variety of psycho-emotional sequelae, which can produce complications in the lives of those who suffer from them, after the virus outbreak.The book explains in detail technical protocols that can be self applied or to applied to third parties, in order to ameliorate and neutralize:- fears,- phobias,- panic,- paranoid responses,The authors of this short and simple book have summarized their professional experience of several decades by illustrating the most effective and above all quickest self-application techniques to erase these disorders in a harmless and definitive way.

From Nostradamus to Homer Simpson

From Nostradamus to Homer Simpson

Before, sometimes long before, the worst tragedies, catastrophes, disasters, and chaotic calamities suffered by humanity, individuals of the most diverse ages, occupations, cultural levels, and social positions, experienced mysterious premonitions about the future event, some, very vague perhaps feeling hunches, but others, extremely detailed predictions, about the adversity that was going to occur in the immediate or delayed future.Predictions of tragic events are the most widespread, but if you ask different people, they will describe "hunches", "my heart was overturned", "I saw clearly what was going to happen", "I felt a voice", "I had a dream", "I woke up abruptly in the night", and other colloquial names for the very strong feeling that "something is going to happen".The clearly non-rational nature of these predictions and the impossibility of conventional science to explain them (they do not fall within the materialistic paradigm) has meant that science have denied them.The arrogance and lack of humility of this denial, implies that "what I cannot measure and explain" or "what does not fall within conventional materialistic science" does not exist...These predictions have been recorded as expressions of futurology, based on more or less rational prognoses, such as the cases of academics, organizations and personalities who warned about a viral pandemic and the inadequacy of health systems to cope with it...even in the most developed countries.Or, as intuitions, registered with surprising similarity to the future disaster, in books, movies, television series... by writers, common people, some mystics... and, sacred texts of some religions...Throughout the book, we ask ourselves if it is possible to predict future events, we mention confirmed cases, outline possible neuro-scientific explanations, and analyze the possible ways in which the prediction can be facilitated.Chapter 1st examines the concept of time, past, present, and future, and the possibilit

Beyond the Tapping - BMSA

Beyond the Tapping - BMSA

This book is about the ultra-fast body-mind technique, an improved scientific version of "tapping", based on solid clinical and neuroscientific grounds. BMSA can be included in any therapeutic strategy for non pharmacological treatment of anxiety disorders, deactivation of open emotional conflicts and the somatic consequences of psychic trauma.The generic name “tapping” defines several dozens of treatment strategies for anxiety disorders, such as phobias, panic attacks, generalized anxiety disorder, anticipatory anxiety, PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder), etc., that use light repeated percussions (tapping) with the fingertips, on the so-called “acupuncture points”, along (supposed) “acupuncture meridians”, while keeping the target problem in the mind.BMSA, or Brief Multi Sensory Activation is the heir of classical “tapping”. Born from the contrasting review that the authors made about “”tapping” techniques in light of neuroscience, whose unprecedent progress in the last 20 years, made possible to scientifically explain why classic “tapping” works, which of its components are most effective and which are useless or ineffective, and what is most important, these neuroscientific foundations give BMSA a strong predictive value, continuously improving and adding new technical elements.This process of revision and scientific verification allowed us to rule out many useless or ineffective maneuvers, while keeping other valuable ones, and, most important, to design and incorporate new procedures, maneuvers and different techniques aside percussions, which are much more effective than the previous ones, but also have a faster response... sometimes surprisingly instantaneous.BMSA can be applied by the doctor or psychologist in the office, or anywhere (we have applied it inside a car, in a flight, in a boat, in the streets…) and it’s an ideal technique, because of its simplicity, harmlessness, amazing speed and profound results.It can be learned by anyone and applied

THE MIND THAT AILS... THE CONSCIOUSNESS THAT HEALS... AND EXALTS

The authors, a medical doctor and a registered nurse, with almost 50 years of clinical experience in several countries, master degrees in two neuro scientific specialties (psycho immuno neuroendocrinology and psycho neuro pharmacology), guest speakers at univeristies, physical education teacher/master, post degree in positive psychology, elite sports practitioners and trainers and corporative consultants for great international corporations, have studied all their life, the link between mind and body, the influence of emotions in physical illness, the consciousness ability to keep and enhance health and wellness and the maximal performance of human potentials. In this text, they give all their accumulated experience, the most updated scientific information and precise techniques so the mind and consciousness can be on the side of health, happiness and the achievement of the highest human purposes.Most of the time, we are invaded by mandates, negative beliefs, trauma, disturbing emotions, cultural prejudice, limiting beliefs, etc. that like an infiltrated "virus" in our program, perfect by nature, once and again unconsciously block, sabotage and freeze our conscious intent to improve, with maladaptive behaviors or actions that induce alterations, not just in our state of mind, but in our physical health too?
