The Daily Practical Use of EFT

Wow! What a busy summer that flew by. I have not been keeping up on regular newsletters or posts. Sometimes life is that way isn't it? We have a plan and we just have to move with the flow sometimes. I had a really great experience with a mommy of young babies this Summer. She came to me because of mounting stress over working. Not that there was anything necessarily wrong with her job, but that she had to work at all. Her husband is a student and she has to work to pay the bills. Her great desire is to stay home with her babies and her oldest was not making it any easier.

Each day as she left for work, her sweet little girl would be moved to sobbing and crying and begging her mommy to please not leave her and go to work. Day after day after week after month, this stress continued to mount. She also has a lovely little baby boy. And he was also showing signs of stress, probably picking up mom's stressful feelings.

So, mom came to me and we worked around all of the stressful issues with her work. Sad mom, sad babies, stress from sobbing, and so forth. Within about 30 minutes this stressful mom, was much more relaxed, smiling instead of crying, and feeling hopeful. We discussed mom to mom some of the things she could do to keep the momentum with this feeling. One of the things I recommended was that each night as she tucked her daughter into bed, that she show her the magic buttons that make her feel better. Show her how to express her feelings and tap on herself so she could feel better. And she did.

Within a day or two of our appointment, she and her family went out of town for two weeks. I saw her yesterday because I needed to attend to some business where she works. Without asking, she offered me the following details.

Her little girl had been getting progressively worse with her emotions. She was beginning at night to start crying about the next day. She showed her how to tap and what to say about her feelings. On there way home from vacation, several days before she had to go back to work, she heard from the back of the car in her carseat, something like this. "I am sad mommy is going to work. I am mad mommy is going to work." She looked back to find her 3 year old, actively tapping the points on her face as she vocalized her feelings. Well that deserves a Toyota jump for those of you who remember those commercials.

Further, mom told me that she had been to work four days this week since coming home, and no sobbing fits. And I have to say, mommy looks much more relaxed and happy about being at work. One more thing. Little baby boy was having serious constipation. The day after I tapped with his mom, he began "letting go" of all of that. :-) Interesting how babies pick up on what is going on around them. So happy to help this little family through this very stressful, very common problem. EFT is so practical.

EFT = my MAGIC wand

I got an unexpected call last night from someone who needed help. They knew my experience with EFT and wanted me to help them overcome a challenge. Years ago, I often used to say that I wish I had a magic wand that I could wave to help take pain and suffering from people. I am GRATEFUL BEYOND WORDS that I now have knowledge that I can do that.

I've helped people with many physical ailments including pain, physical damage to various parts of the body, asthma, heart irregularities, constipation, someone choking (not the heimlich), general stress, and more. I've helped people with addictions ranging from smoking, chewing, pot, food, chocolate, sugar, soda, pornography, usually quite easily. What can EFT help?

I've helped people completely eliminate emotions like grief, anger, anxiety, depression, fear, hatred, personality conflicts, and the like. I've helped two people completely recover from PTSD.

I've saved our family thousands of dollars in doctor and therapy bills. And I've gained so much satisfaction by seeing faces and lives change because of a simple technique that is easy to learn, easy to apply, and is THE MOST EFFECTIVE natural treatment I have ever seen or used in over 20 years of study of natural methods.

I know intimately, beyond doubt, what stress and emotions do to the body. Everything you feel is recorded in every cell of your body (Molecules of Emotion, Candance Pert). Stress really does take a toll on your physical body. The mind and body are TOTALLY connected. I've never seen an easier way to relax, to sleep better, to feel more peaceful, than to spend 5 minutes or less, just tapping on acupressure points. You can literally see changes in a person's face and body when you help them apply EFT.

The creator of EFT has a motto. "Try it on everything." And I do. I wish others could really know how amazing EFT is. You don't have to believe. You just have to try. There are very few things I hate. But I really HATE to see people suffering and know that I can do something about it. That they can do something about it. That there is an almost magical way to let go of those feelings and continue to embrace the happiness in life. I've seen it over and over and over….hundreds of times now.

My weakness comes in thinking I can do anything. I know that is not really true. But I've seen so many impossible things become instantly possible, that it gives me over confidence. Nonetheless, the technique is so effective, I can hardly help thinking it. I have almost NEVER failed to see improvement. I can only think of one time. And 80-90% of the time, those I help see TOTAL resolution. It's not me, it's the technique.

There are other healing techniques similar to EFT, but this is the one I know. This one is simple. This one anyone can learn. So, I just continue to try to learn things to help my technique and application. If you've never heard of it, please feel free to ask. Not everything resolves in moments, or easily. But I've seen things that take years of therapy resolve in hours. I am not a therapist. I am simply an educator and practitioner of EFT. It works. Let me know if I can help.

Cancer Cure? Cancer Persecution

I don't think I will be the only one who is outraged by the information in this movie. I decided long ago, that FOR ME, I would never do the chemo/radiation thing. It's a very personal choice. I would also never question anyone else who did go that route. But this is the most amazing story I've ever heard. This Dr should be given the Nobel Prize in medicine for his curative and preventive patents for cancer. Instead the state of Texas, the FDA, and finally the US Government, tried not only to find criminal behavior that wasn't there, harass him, take his drugs from patients who later died because of it (I know one of them), but also to steal his very patents and go around him. If it's true, it's sickening. I think everyone ought to know about it. It's for free for the next five days. After that it will be sold for profit presumably to raise the $300 million the NCI refuses to grant him for the remaining trials. Craziness. Now, if I am ever diagnosed with cancer, I'll be traveling to Texas to see Dr. Burzynski if they have not succeeded in shutting him down.

Drug Addiction–One Minute Wonder

Posted on by
Reply

In my last post, I briefly discussed how EFT can break through food addictions; a great help to anyone trying to lose weight.

I have had success with the mild drug tobacco, in cigarette and chewing tobacco form. But, as of yet I had not had an opportunity to help anyone with a true drug addiction. As I write this, I do not yet know if the benefits that this person gained will be permanent. But the response in the moment was shocking.

In EFT, we have occasionally what we call "one minute wonders." (OMW) An OMW occurs when in only one round of applied EFT, something disappears completely. Similar to seeing good magic, we are left amazed and astonished and wondering how it happened. And the answer is, I have no idea. But it does happen with enough frequency that it is very welcome, and very fun to be a part of. Likely, the person has an imbalance that is quickly corrected. I don't know why some people get the OMW and others have to apply several more rounds for similar results.

And so it was with Jane recently. (Not her real name). I was working with Jane because she was under a lot of stress that if not brought under control, will require medical intervention. Jane is doing what she can with her life and diet to encourage change. But she also wants to bring the stress levels down in hopes that the body will heal naturally.

While visiting with Jane, it came out that she used to smoke pot every day all day long for years, and that helped her deal with her stress. But because of life changes and improvements, Jane decided one day to stop using that drug. To her credit, in 6 years, she has not used it, even though there has been tremendous stress in her life.

While tapping with Jane, I wondered if not being able to use the substance, was creating as much stress as the stress itself. I asked Jane, if I had a joint right now, and there were no reason why you could not smoke it, would you take it? She said she would smoke it right then and there and the desire was an obvious 10. Wow! A definitely difficult situation. The great desire was balanced by her own moral choices. I have HUGE respect for her will power over the last 6 years.

So, we simply did basic EFT. "Even though I want a joint so bad…..I love and accept myself." We actually did two rounds without the setup in between. When I asked what the level of desire for the joint was after only two short rounds, I was astonished when I was told it was no longer wanted or needed. After thorough questioning I was convinced. It was completely gone.

There is a chance, that it is gone for good. Only time will tell. There is also a chance, that given other stressful situations, that desire will return. The reasons for any addiction are often because of underlying stress and anxiety. If you do not address that underlying stress and anxiety specifically, then it can be difficult to break an addiction. This is why you see people stop smoking and either gain weight or increase the amount of coffee they drink. Their addiction shifts to something else because the anxiety is still there. The stress is still there.

I am hoping for permanent results for Jane. I will be checking back with her and will report whether there is more work to do, or whether she continues to be free from it.

 

I am not a licensed physician or psychiatrist. I am a teacher and a certified EFT consultant and I use EFT with clients to target and address stress in the body. I cannot and do not diagnose, nor do I guarantee you will have excellent results though typically the average person can get 50-70% success with their own use. If it's not working, it may just mean there are techniques you don't know. That's when I can help.

Food addiction? Piece of cake

No, that's not an offer for a piece of cake. Because even if I did offer you a piece of cake and you are a cake addict, once I get through with you, chances are, you'll be handing me the cake back. Don't believe me? Then  you should have been at my free class on Saturday.

I did my standard chocolate demonstration, this time with rollos. I had a small group, but both chocolate lovers took one small nibble as instructed. Then we applied standard EFT. Neither one of them finished the chocolate. Yes! Participant number three claimed she did not like chocolate. So, I eyed her large soda sitting next to her. What's that? Dr Pepper. Okey dokey. How about you apply it for the Dr Pepper? How bad do you want to finish that? 0-10 she was at a happy 10. Definitely. I asked her to take a small sip. And then she tapped along with the others who were tapping for chocolate.

I asked her to please take a sip now that her craving was 0 only 2 minutes later. She sipped and exclaimed it had no taste. Haha. We did one more round and I asked her to taste again. All she could "taste" was carbonation. When the class was over, she took it home to give to her husband. Yep, it's that simple.

3 minute relaxation technique releases addictions. Want to quit smoking, drinking alcohol or coffee, chocolate addiction or the midnight snack? Make an appointment now. Results guaranteed or your money back.

“EFT doesn’t work for me”

Posted on by
Reply

Every once in awhile I run across someone who says they have diligently tried EFT and it just doesn't work for him or her. I have only met two people in six years that have found no benefit to EFT. One was a hurried appointment who I wanted to prove something to and he was also highly skeptical. If I'd had more time and a chance to really let go of the outcomes and do some good investigative work, I might only be talking about one. But, that's ok. NOTHING works 100% of the time. I can accept that. But EFT has such an amazingly high response rate. If that's true, why in the world might it not work?

 There are several explanations as to why EFT may be taking longer than necessary or why it isn't working at all. I want to focus on massive psychological reversal. But before I do, here are the quick impediments to great results.

Aspects

Like pieces of a puzzle, there may be many aspects to an experience. And while you may get relief from the trauma of a car accident by tapping on the headlights you saw just before impact, it may take also addressing the fight before you got in the car, the screams at the time of impact, the fear that coursed through you, and your inability to now drive at night. (Just for examples).

Persistence

Sometimes things take time. And while it is NOT uncommon to get amazingly fast results with EFT, sometimes it just takes a little extra work. It may take tapping on the issue several times a day for several days or weeks. If you begin to forget to tap on the issue, check in. Chances are it may be gone.

Being too general

The more specific you are, the better. Tapping on "even though I was abused as a child" is not nearly as specific as "even though my father slapped me across the face when I was 7." See the difference? Even more so, "even though I was so afraid of my dad because he slapped me across the face when I was 7."

Energy Toxins

Similar to an allergy, it is any substance in, on, or around you that for whatever reason disrupts your energy flow. Common ones include sugar, wheat, tea, alcohol, nicotine, corn, caffeine, perfume, herbs, dairy, electromagnetic fields, or something that is unique to you and your system.

Serious considerations

Any serious disease, depression, addiction, or chronic negative thinking.

Psychological Reversal

There is not enough room in a blog post to go into this. But it is basically when your subconscious hides the reasons from you as to why you are not getting better. There may be secondary gains for NOT getting better. So, you may really want to lose weight, but you don't realize you have deep feelings that it is not safe to lose weight. Perhaps you may have had unwanted advances. Perhaps you were ridiculed as a child. There could be any number of reasons. But for all intents and purposes, if you are psychologically reversed, it's like having the batteries in backwards. You can push all the buttons you want, but nothing is going to happen.

Even if you know all of the above, and you know how and have tried to remedy with advanced EFT techniques, there may be a very few cases where it is still difficult to get results. One thing to try is called Collarbone breathing. You will have to take my half day or whole day class for that demonstration. The other is MASSIVE Psychological Reversal. The setup statement on the karate chop spot or sore spot is designed to correct PR. It only takes a few seconds and almost always works. Sometimes it is NOT needed because a full 40% of people are not reversed. That's good news.

But there are some who seem to have a brick wall around their issues and there is no way to get past it. That is MASSIVE PR. So, what can you do? EFT Master's Carol Look and Lindsey Kinney both have ways of getting around it that I have read through and will summarize.

The most common reasons are not wanting to, not being safe to, not deserving of, not wanting to forgive. The answer. Tap on those things. You might do several rounds on the following statements.

Even though I don't really want to get over this…

Even though it's not safe for me to…

Even though I don't deserve to…

Even though I can't forgive ______ for what they did…

Even though I don't know who I'll be without…

Even though I won't have any more excuses…

Even though I don't know what normal feels like…

Even though I'm afraid to let it go…

Even though there may be a reason I don't know….

Once you have tried these kinds of phrases (and you may know right away which ones are right on), you can then return to normal tapping phrases for the thing you are working on. Give it a try and see if that doesn't get the results you've been hoping for.

Is EFT a……SCAM?

Scam: a fraudulent or deceptive act or operation.

If you've never tried Emotional Freedom Techniques, but you've read or heard of some of the astonishing stories about "EFT," you may wonder if a whole lot of people are simply being tricked. Pain gone in seconds? Trauma resolved in an hour? Limiting beliefs changed in days? What's going on here? I believe what's going on here is a paradigm shift. And this may sound nutty, but I think it's planetary. A paradigm is a broad or more specific framework of philosophical or theoretical laws or generalizations. Basically, what we believe about things.

For example, my perspective of traditional medicine, is that a Dr looks at a patient as a bag of bones and other parts. The patient has a problem say with an elbow. Maybe it's tennis elbow. And the Dr looks at the elbow and prescribes one of a number of things: plain and simple rest, medication for pain, and perhaps surgery. Ta da! Typically, the Dr will NOT take into consideration that perhaps just before the tennis elbow manifest, the patient had a fight with a friend (or any number of scenarios) and you might not either. Say what?

For at least a couple of decades now, practitioners in other fields, and scientists have been discovering the biology of our beliefs. In fact, Dr Bruce Lipton wrote a book, called the Biology of Belief, showing that it's our positive and negative thoughts that create our reality at the cellular level. Millions of people are now exploring the possibilities that EFT and other methods that involve the energy of the body, can literally change the condition of the body in moments, minutes, and hours, rather than days, months, and years! That is a paradigm shift, especially if it is true.

When I was first introduced to EFT, I read many of the testimonials with wonder, and being of a curious nature, I downloaded the manual and tried it on something I totally could not test in the moment. "Hmmm." I sent it to a psychologist friend and asked her opinion and we both went "Hmmm." I left it alone for at least a year and then started seeing references everywhere to it. So, I tried again, only this time I threw caution to the wind and ordered the first two or three sets of DVDs. Man! Those and my other EFT DVD sets, are among my most prized possessions. The most valuable information I've ever learned except the principles of faith I believe in.

I started using EFT and getting results. A lot more hmmmms going on! I kept scratching my head. HOW is this working? Most everything I tried it on improved. My real aha and unexplainable results came when I applied it to my teen son's hernia and the pain was gone immediately and it subsequently healed spontaneously with no surgery. And I also found the power in our thoughts and feelings when I could not resolve a shoulder issue until I addressed that I had recently had a falling out with a friend and tapped on the guilt, shame, and embarrasment I was feeling around that.

I actually got a little scared. WHAT IS THIS???? Is it new age? Is it voodoo? Is is satanic? I laugh now. I had several discussions with my husband and he put my strange doubts to rest. It's a tool. Ding, ding, ding! Dr, Chiro, EFT practitioner.

It's one tool in the box of tools you can use to better your health. You might feel like going to the Dr for something, especially if you haven't realized to try it on everything. Or if medical help is urgent. You might go to the chiropractor. Although I can't tell you the number of times I have felt my spine or other things pop and crack after tapping, not even feeling there was a need. You could go to a hypnotist, an acupuncturist, an herbalist, or any other number of natural health practitioners. Or you could come and see me. Or learn how to tap and apply it yourself. Plain and simple. Try it on everything!

This is my son Joseph. He took a big interest in music starting as a teen. And it manisfested in dance. He loved getting a groove on and in high school won a talent competition of sorts three years in a row during Homecoming. He took piano growing up and continued self teaching in his teens. In high school he also joined the choir and had lots of solos. When he went to college he started taking plenty of music classes including voice lessons and piano. Last year he tried out for GV Idol here in SE Az and he did not make it. This year he was a finalist. Next year? Who knows? :-) For the part EFT played see below.

 

You knew this had to have an EFT connection right? I taught an EFT seminar a couple of months ago, and this son agreed to be my cameraman, so he got the benefits of the seminar too. :-) It came out during the class, that he had some fear around tryouts, auditions, etc. We worked on that quite extensively during the class and he was able to release his fears of auditioning. He specifically felt quite anxious about the thought of his name being called and it being his turn. After tapping, he could imagine it in the moment with no anxiety.

The unfortunate thing is, this boy had surgery on his knee a couple of months ago for a torn ACL and torn meniscus, so he could not choose a song he could groove to. And the boy can groove! No dancing for 6 months. :-) Just for interest, I texted him today and asked if he had any fear of getting on the stage when his name was called. And he said nope, he was just anxious to sing. And I smiled.
