Emotional Freedom Techniques {EFT} info
 

I just got my e-newsletter from them and thought I'd post a bit about it.

This page has a 3minute video about EFT and a button for a free starter download. {pdf file}

After watching the video I thought "how dumb am I"?
I'm going to try it for weight loss, vision, high cholesterol and anything else I can thing of.
I used it long ago for my RSI pain and a little bit for my TOS pain and it helped then- but it supposedly works for so much more than only pain!

It is really a simple thing to try, just tapping on certain body parts and saying simple phrases. The times I used it I just did the tapping and it still worked for me. Someone else can do the tapping for you also if you aren't able to do it yourself.

sample session from above link-
[His 0-10 pain intensity was a 9. He was okay as long as he didn't try to move his arm or shoulder in any way. From massage school and studying Touch for Health and Kinesiology, I know how important it is to be hydrated before starting any energy work. So after having the client drink at least a half-cup of water, I began with the usual, standard "Even though..." set-up phrases and moved on to more creative wording as I got warmed up and tuned in more thoroughly. (I generally offer a silent prayer of gratitude and ask the healing angels for assistance while turning on the Reiki symbols in my hands before I start my client sessions.) Tapping on the Karate Chop point of the right hand, the set-up went something like this...

"Even though I don't have any idea of how this stuff works, and this gal might be crazy, I allow myself to trust the process."

"Even though I don't want to know how this tapping thing works, I choose to learn something new today."

"Even though I'm not sure how Tonnie can help me, I desire my shoulder to be healed easily."

Then the reminder phrases were tapped on the face. (I just say whatever comes to mind related to the set-ups we just completed.)

Eye Brow: "This not knowing"

Side of Eye: "Tonnie might be crazy"

Under Eye: "Don't want to know"

Under Nose: "Not sure about this silly tapping stuff"

Chin: "This not knowing"

Collar Bone: "This crazy healer"

Under Arm: "This weird tapping stuff"

Top of Head: "I choose to go with the flow"

I had the client take a deep breath and went on with more set-up phrases on the side of the hand that were more focused on the remaining pain...then the anger and the resentment, and more forgiveness stuff.

"Even though I have this complete immobility in my left shoulder joint, and it hurts like you-know-what, I completely accept myself."

"Even though I have this horrible pain and stiffness in my left shoulder, I completely and profoundly love and accept myself."

"Even though I have these toxic emotions stuck in my left shoulder regarding the accident, I forgive myself and the other driver."

I went on to tap in the reminder phrases on the front of the body. Two rounds, with the second one being related to the "remaining pain and stiffness in my shoulder" then we added phrases that included forgiving God for letting this happen and allowing the healing to be surprisingly easy and fun.

The whole EFT session with Mike took only 5 MINUTES. I kid you not! He was flabbergasted and so was I. He had complete range of motion (360 degrees) without pain or restriction in about 5 minutes!

I asked him if he still wanted a massage and he said, "YES!" So I said that would be great, but we'd go slow and easy with his left arm and shoulder. Every time I touched or moved Mike's left arm, he snickered (pleasantly). He was kind of giggly during the whole massage. We were both AMAZED at how astonishingly easy it was to restore his mobility and comfort!

One more time, I have to say that I AM SO GRATEFUL for the tapping techniques! I absolutely LOVE what I do! How could I ever be satisfied with working a real job? ]

just wanted to add that this isn't saying "it's all in your mind" or anything like that.
It's that the mind is a powerful part of the whole body and can affect the whole of the body. EFT is very much like acupuncture only with tapping on certain areas versus using needles as acupuncture does.
It supposedly helps to reprogram your system using the tapping on the meridians and the verbal words.

it is true
 

Jo, I have a friend who paid to learn how to do this from a professional.
It helped her so much :) , but she is terminally ill and has at least 6 major diagnosis and is in and out of hospital every month.
She stopped doing it and she keeps getting worse. I haven't done it,
this is my only experience with it. I'll PM you a website with more info.
Thanks for bringing this up :hug: Hope

...on the way to the Parkinson's table and saw the topic. My two cents is that although weird to the usual way of thinking, it does work for a lot of things. Almost startling in fact.

Gary Craig is an engineer who ten or fifteen years ago decided to sift through the New Age swamp to identify what worked and what didn't. EFT is the result and as Gary says "We don't know what it can do so try it on everything." A work in progress with a dedicated community.
