Emotional Freedom Techniques/EFT... what is this?

[Lucy wong]

EFT refers to emotional freedom techniques. EFT is very safe where emotional relief brings physical health. It is also a self help method which often works where nothing else will. There is no drugs involved and with high success rates too.

EFT offers great healing benefits, said Deepak Chopra, MD.

It is a surprising natural healing aid that one can use for almost everything.

Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) is an emotional, needle free version of acupuncture that is based on new discoveries regarding the connection between your body's subtle energies, your emotions, and your health.

EFT has been reported successful in thousands of cases covering a huge range of emotional, health and performance issues.

This quote by Eric Robins, MD captures the essence of EFT:

"Some day the medical profession will wake up and realize that unresolved emotional issues are the main cause of 85% of all illnesses. When they do, EFT will be one of their primary healing tools .... as it is for me."

Though it is quite new to many, EFT is easy to learn. One can go online to check on more of this wonderful emotional release, called tapping. Easy to learn yet effective...

EFT is a technique whereby one can release one's emotion and be free from those negative emotions.

This morning, a lady aged over 50 came to me. She has not been feeling well for more than a month and her weight drastically dropped 6kg. She wasn't feeling too well. When I 'read' her pulse, I told her that she was troubled by many things. She agreed. She was also on medication recently. She is now taking pills prescribed by a heart specialist too.

I went straight to the point, telling her that she was worrying excessively which is destroying her. Her worries, her sleepless nights and poor appetite was eating her up. She sometimes felt her heart beating fast and sometimes not beating.

True enough her heart is not beating regularly. And she looks tired and weak. She had an emotional problem which brought tears to her eyes. She told me that one of her close friend was stabbed to death and leaving behind small kids which are now under her care.

In such a case, she is emotionally upset. Negative emotions can mean sadness, fear, excessive worries, stress, anger and impatience. I told her to put 100% trust in her God and Church and that she is being tested for her patience and endurance. If one has 100% faith, it also means 'Let God's will be done, not ours!' I explained to her about what EFT can do and taught her to do some tapping.

I also told her to supplement her food with Nutrilites. She agreed to take Double X and protein for a start. Hopefully she can recover soon. And most important of all is her belief in God and to achieve total bliss when in her prayers. When a person is in total bliss when praying, it is also a spiritual detox whereby one will feel renewed and revitalized. She will surely recover and stablilize her emotions and tapping will help....

Yes, just to remind many who are emotionally upset due to lost of loved ones especially parents or children that tapping can also be used to reduce the pain. Of course, it is never my intention that we cannot grief for the lost of loved ones.

But we do pray that these people be released from long term grief. Long term grief will difinitely upset his or her body system's metabolism.

A batch of scientists and doctors were sent to the Szechuan Earthquake to aid the victims. These victims who were in the state of shock and grief were taught tapping that they learn to accept the reality of what had happened.

We can imagine the depths of pain and suffering who survived the earthquake. We can understand the pain of the sudden lost of family members, friends, relatives and properties. They were all mourning for their loss and in the state of shock.

Tapping can really help... Just learn those simple steps from the internet or look up for a tapping xi fu. It can cut off our subconscious mind that thrive strong with unhappy memories of the disaster. At least they can learn to accept reality so that the body and the mind can be reunited. Otherwise, one will see so many 'walking corpse' at the disaster sites.

Our subconscious mind is fed with revisions of sad and unhappy memories. It is called a revision of negative emotions thus directly affecting our emotions which in the long term be very destructive to our overall health.

I do recommend tapping to be used to stablize our emotions and it has been proven to work very well. There is nothing to lose, right?

What is EFT?

EFT is a psychological use of the acupuncture meridian points - instead of using needles, you learn to tap with your fingertips on the meridian points while saying some statements. As odd as it may sound, it works. And most importantly, it is simple and easy to use. By Carol Solomon, Ph.D.

Me and my hubby have been in this acupuncture field for more than 2 decades, so definitely the wonder of these acupoints is no bluffing thing. Best of all, is that we need no needles and the patients need not suffer or fear for these needles! Wonderful isn't it?

Acupuncture can treat so many illnessess and discomfort but when one think of needles poked into our flesh, they would think twice! Especially those who never believed in acupuncture or eastern herbs.

Tapping isn't painful, isn't difficult, isn't 'expensive' or it is absolutely free.... And it is unbelieveable that it works as well as acupuncture itself!

Thus tapping will solve so many problems connected with emotions, just name it and one can try...

Can you imagine a world of happy and healthy people with understanding smiles, encouraging nods and warm handshakes? And people whose eyes shine with friendship and love? And selfless people all ready to help each other?

Well, go ahead and visualize this world to be full of these people, to be full of these wonderfully emotionally stable people. Let us be surrounded with graceful people who are kind, who are understanding, who are generous, who are patient, who are forgiving and who speaks softly and never irritates you.

There will be no grumpy people, no complaining people, no selfish or greedy people. And they have peace at heart and peace of mind. No suspicion, no competition, no cheatings, no lies, no abuses, no fear, no fights, no revenges, no criticisms, no condemning or shouting at each other....

How wonderful this world will be then. How lovely this world will be then. And loving and caring people always ready to help, to guide and to share...It is such a nice feeling, such a peaceful feeling and that each are enjoying brotherly and sisterly love.

Yes, it will be, it will happen... BUT IT ALL STARTS FROM US, WE as AN INDIVIDUAL to learn to be at peace with each other. Yes, it all starts from us, do we have those loving qualities?

The string of change starts from we ourselves. We ourselves need to change, only then the world will change for the better. Only then we will be enjoying 'heaven on earth', otherwise it will be 'hell on earth'!

It is high time for all to improve our EQ. It is high time for all of us to master EQ to our best advantage. It is high time for all to achieve EQ... and the world will then be a peaceful place, suitable to live and breed.

Positive emotions? Yes, positive emotions. I have a great picture drawn and hung on the wall to summarize the power and destruction of emotions.

A big dagger, in the form of an isosceles triangle is drawn in the middle of the diagram. Three blazing hearts are drawn inside the triangle. The base of the triangle is given degrees of seriousness, or percentages all starting from the middle. The top of the dagger is enhanced with another small diagram written 'spiritual values' while the handle of the dagger is drawn with some beautiful lotus. One side of the dagger is written positive, the other negative.

What have I written to sum up these positive emotions? Positive emotions CREATE!

Positive emotions include:
- Love
- Joy
- Heaven
- constructive
- peace
- forgiving
- hopeful
- truth
- faith
- trust
- like
- giving birth
- happiness
- kindness
- tolerance
- forbearance
- human values
- light

Positive emotions will bring a person peace at heart and peace of mind.

What are these negative emotions? These emotions are negative and are destructive! It is a feeling so desperate and desolate! It gives birth to bad influence.s.. it gives birth to hell in heaven...

Negative emotions DESTROY! They include:
- Hate
- Hell
- revenge
- negative
- destructive
- fear
- unforgiving
- anger
- worries
- sadness
- kills
- dislike
- unkind
- selfish
- sacastic
- inhuman proctises

of course, the lists continue...

Fear not, all of us are given the power of choice. The power of choice, to choose to be at the state of positive emotions! Be tuned to a better emotional mood, be acquiring to improve our EQ!

It can all start from being patient... have patience in everything! Slow to anger, slow to revenge, slow to fight back... and you will feel so much better!

The 3 blazing hearts drawn in the middle of the base of the isosceles triangle can represents 3 posibilities, 3 answers and 3 situations...

The first heart to represent who you think you are.

The second heart to represent who you actually are.

The third heart to represent what other people think you are.

The blaze or the fire refers to the everchanging changes for the better or for the worst. Sometimes things happen to refine us, to educate us, to make us a better person. And again the power of choice is here again.

[Lucy wong]

It matters a lot to many people who listens to what we say... sometimes unintentionally venturing into sensitive issues and breaking their fragile hearts.. so be careful of what comes out of our mouth.

Our speech can motivate a person, but it can also 'kill' the person.. that is why we need to say only good things, or SAY NOTHING...
