What if you don’t want to respond to problems in the same old way? How do we do it, when we are really ready to take full responsibility for our health on all levels? Ready to step out of all unhelpful energy reducing patterns?
There are many tools available, including EFT, forms of sitting, walking and movement meditation , cellular memory release processes like The Journey, and individual and group-work psycho-therapies. All of these will unravel the emotional and mental knots which cause unpleasant patterns to repeat themselves over and over.
I have tried all of these and EFT is my favourite! It is easy to learn, use and carry around with you. It is very similar to other helpful processes like NET and Bodytalk. EFT is fantastic because you can carry it around in your self-help tool kit, ready to use whenever issues arise.
How does EFT work?
Simply stated, you stimulate a few well-established energy points on your body by tapping on them with your fingertips. The points are usually the start or end points of acupuncture meridians. While you tap, you verbally state your physical or emotional issue of the moment and that even though you have this issue, you want to heal and accept yourself. The body’s attention is being specifically brought to an issue, while stating an intention of self-acceptance, and activating the energy patterns where the old pattern has been stored. Amazingly, the body is able to rewire the system and energy flows freely once again. The process is easy to memorize and you can do it anywhere.
Get colds and flu? Here is my success story!
Over the past weekend I used EFT several times a day to completely alleviate the swollen gland, which promised to evolve into a hefty flu. I used EFT whenever the swollen glad was especially painful. I also used it whenever a negative emotion arose, because I know from experience that sinking into frustration, drowsiness or anxiety weakens my immunity further. What amazed me was that whenever I tapped the symptoms reduced. As the emotion departed the physical symptoms lessened.
EFT allows you to be creative, so when I realised that a small part, albeit very small, of me was actually wanting to get sick, I asked myself why, and realised that in the past I have used being sick to have time off or to get affection. After tapping regularly, the sore throat departed over two days and I felt great. This was a real shift for me, as usually I’d feel worse after the swollen gland. I could feel my body removing the infection effectively, without the added stress of negative emotion.
Are you ready for change? Ready to know each moment is precious?
You can do it! When you know that you truly want to leverage your time and increase energy EFT is a wonderful accessory. It is up to each individual to love themselves enough to want to step out of all the familiar energy draining habits which minimise the time spent living our purpose on earth.
My clients have found EFT helps with some of the following issues: pre-birth anxiety for pregnant mums; painful or stiff joints and limbs; candida; trauma; performance anxiety; fear of singing; relationship issues; sadness; resentment; alleviating early flu symptoms (completely!); overeating; ‘bad-habits’; nervousness; - and many more.
After several years of healing old stuff, (using EFT and other techniques), I am living a happier and healthier life. Now I am in a place in my life where I realise that my time is precious. Every living waking moment is full of potential. It is up to me to use my moments with care and awareness.
