Helping Veterans

We've shared this story before, but it bears being seen again and again.

See how this profound yet gentle technique can work so amazingly for these veterans.

Performance Issues

Along with all the wonderful emotional blocks EFT helps to gently remove this is also an amazing tool for performance issues. We have been honored to help a local youngster a great deal with her performance anxiety in singing in front of a crowd and two University students with their math and test anxiety issues. Here is another example of how EFT can assist in an academic arena.

EFT on the Oprah Winfrey Network

This is reposted from the EFT Universe newsletter:

EFT on the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN): OWN has videotaped an episode that shows veterans doing EFT! The show is called Our America With Lisa Ling and will air in October. Here's a link to the trailer. Our wonderful volunteer for the Iraq Vets Stress Project, Candace Green, has been offering EFT to veterans and their family members for years; Lisa Ling captured the heartwarming results of her work in this documentary about PTSD. EFT Universe has a very active publicity program; you can find published stories in EFT in the News.

Looking forward to seeing this episode!

Excellent video!

Dawson Chruch does a fantastic job of explaining the mechanics of how EFT works. When you know it works, you know it works, but it is always fascinating to learn more about the *how*!

Enjoy watching the video here.

Core Issues

Excellent article about resolving core issues... the heart of EFT. Symptoms abound in various forms and flavors, it's always finding the core issue that resolves the inner storms.

By Annie O’Grady

Some people are haunted by a repressed memory, and this is a constant drain on their energy that can go on over decades.  They feel that something bad happened to them around a particular age, but they can’t find out what it was.  Here are two cases (names changed) where EFT not only uncovered the ‘secrets’ but neutralized their lifelong impact, each in one session.
Bill, a truck driver in his sixties, had come for an EFT session because his girlfriend had experienced a big breakthrough from a session, and he was curious.  Initially, he thought he didn’t have any stress to work on.  But soon he mentioned that he was sad about his dead son - and had been sad every day for twenty-five years.
This involved a hospital memory that was still vivid for him.  We tapped away stress from the trauma he described.  He had held his newborn son in his arms for two hours, waiting for the baby to die from a congenital physical defect.  Finally a nurse told him it had happened. Read more here.

PTSD?

Really great quick article about releasing PTSD. If you, or someone you know is suffering from this, we invite you to check out EFT as an option for your emotional wellness "tool chest".

Three times over a period of about 25 years, I experienced shortness of breath, blood draining from my face and heart palpitations and had to pull over while driving. Even though this occurred so seldom, these are typical symptoms of PTSD. Years later, I started putting things together that at each occurrence, I was passing an accident just at the moment that a person on a gurney was being put into an ambulance. By this time I was experienced in EFT and started looking for an explanation.  Read more here.

Immediate Early Genes

Extremely interesting article showing the differences in gene expressions in the presence of stress. As EFT is an effective tool in reducing stress, imagine the positive impact on your gene expression!

A particular class of genes of great interest to biologists, because they turn on in three seconds or less, is the IEGs or Immediate Early Genes. These are the stress genes, the ones that contain the blueprints that allow our bodies to produce stress hormones like adrenaline and cortisol. They turn on quickly because an effective response to danger is essential to an organism's survival. But if they're turned on repeatedly, for instance by filling our minds with stressful thoughts, or re-playing unresolved childhood traumas, the overproduction of those stress hormones robs our body of the precursors required for cell repair and other beneficial biological functions. In this groundbreaking paper, David Feinstein and Dawson Church explain how EFT and other forms of energy psychology reduce the emotional intensity of traumatic memories, and thus reduce their biological impact as well, silencing stress genes.

Enjoy the article!

EFT Is As Effective As EMDR!

Via Dawson Church ~~~

EFT Is As Effective As EMDR!: EFT reached a milestone this month. Several years in the making, a new study was published in a peer-reviewed publication, The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease, with the results of a study that compared EFT to EMDR. The study was performed within Britain's National Health Service. Theresa McGoldrick, a therapist at Forth Valley, Scotland NHS hospital, and one of the study investigators, put an enormous amount of work over a long period of time to see the study to a successful completion. It showed that EFT is just as effective for people with a PTSD diagnosis as EMDR. In both the EMDR and EFT groups, the 46 participants recovered in an average of 4 sessions. Not only did their PTSD symptoms improve; they also experienced significant reductions in their anxiety and depression symptoms. This study is important for several reasons. One is that it was done "in the system." The primary investigators were not advocates for either therapy, ensuring impartiality. Another important aspect of the study is that it compared EFT to what many clinicians believe is the most effective "evidence-based" emotional trauma treatment, EMDR, and found similar results.  See more here.

Finding the Freedom to Heal

Lorna Wilson often told her close friends, “I am just killing time until I die.”

She had had too much stuff in her head. Overwhelmed by sadness and shame from years of abuse, she sunk into depression and tried to block out the misery by turning to alcohol.....  Things changed after one of her sisters, who had endured the same abuse, recommended Emotional Freedom Technique. After only one session, the change in Wilson was remarkable. It was as though a heavy shroud of depressing fog had lifted. The urge to drink ceased.

“I don’t want to drink,” she said. “I haven’t even thought about it.

Seminar May 18 with Sheryl Stanton

The seminar runs from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. at the Renaissance Retirement Resort, 6676 - 203 St.

EFT ~ Fear of lighting and thunder

Visiting with some friends a few months ago a sudden storm blew in. One friend, ML, jumped nervously at a flash of light and then shivered at the peal of thunder that followed.

"I'm terrified of storms!" she confessed.

Her breathing was quick and labored as she tried to suppress her fear. "I know it's dumb, but I really hate storms!" Her eyes were darting around.

Moved to help, we took her hand and tapped on the karate chop point and asked her what about the storm was so frightening to her.

"The lightening. The thunder. It scares me. I'm afraid the lightening will come through the house and strike me. I always unplug everything so the lightening can't come through the electronics. I have to close the curtains so tight so the light won't come through." As she told of these fears we tapped along the various meridians.

"Why do you think you are afraid of storms?" we asked.

ML replied, "Well, one time I was sitting in my van and a lighting bolt hit the ground really close by!!"


"That really sounds scary!" we said. "Is that when you started to be afraid of storms?" The tapping on the meridians continued.

"Oh no! I clearly remember the first time. I was about 4 and there was a storm raging. I was watching from my bedroom window and a huge bolt of lightening hit the tree outside, the thunder rattled the windows and I screamed. My dad came in and yelled at me for making so much  noise and being a wimp."

We paused a moment, then continued tapping, "ML the lightening isn't out to get you. It is natures way of recharging the atmosphere, clearing the air and cleaning house with all the water. It's ok that you were afraid of the lightening, that you screamed in fear, but it is not out to get you personally." ML heaved a big sigh then went over to have a conversation with another friend.

The storm continued for another hour. ML didn't even notice it though she hadn't been able to sleep the night before due to the storm then.

Follow up several weeks and several storms later had ML amazed. She hadn't even realized how stormy it had been because her overwhelming fear was just gone. Where before just the suggestion of a dark cloud had her running for the house, uplugging appliances and securing curtains, now she just got her umbrella and went on with her day.

There was no formal set up session involved in this case. No long investigative period, just reaching out and asking the story. She was so in the moment that the core surfaced quickly and was resolved.  An excellent case of a one minute wonder, but really a case of finding the core issue quickly because the situation was so present to her.

Love and gratitude for another success story using EFT!

EFT ~ Upset tummy

A recent client of ours had an extremely upset stomach. She had been having a very emotionally turbulent day and towards the end of the evening her tummy was in turmoil. "There is pain from under my ribs to just below my belly button." We asked her if she had ever felt this before, she said no. She had sufficient water, hadn't eaten anything 'off' and didn't have a fever or other indication of a possible stomach flu. On asking her what it felt like: "Is it a throbbing, stabbing or aching pain?" Her reply was a "stabbing" pain.


We did a round of:
"Even though I can't digest all these emotions...
Even though I can't swallow all this emotional pain....
Even though I don't know how to digest all this turmoil.

This turmoil
Can't digest all this
Don't know how to let it go
So much to take in
This turmoil
So much pain
Can't take this
Can't swallow this

What I can let it go?
I can let my body release this
It's safe to release this
I can let this go safely
It's alright for me to breath
I'm letting this go now
It feels good to be free of this
I am ok"

This was an extremely quick round as our client was emotionally exhausted from her turmoil during the day and the pain she had in her stomach for a few hours. She went to bed soon after our session.

The follow up the next day.

"I slept until 11am! I never sleep in and I feel absolutely rested like never before! My stomach didn't bother me at all last night and I fell asleep right away, also not something that usually happens for me!!"

Our thoughts are energy and that energy is a part of our bodies. When things are out of balance you find yourself having physical symptoms as your body is doing it's job in alerting you to issues that need to be addressed. Thank you EFT for being such a fantastic, gentle tool for helping!
