I’ve been using EFT (www.emofree.com) in a very light, surface manner for a couple of years now. Recently, I decided that it was time for me to train up on this technique as thoroughly as possible so that I could fully leverage its benefits for my family. In particular, Donella’s struggles with mystery abdominal pain needs some attention. The medics are giving her a blank stare, and I’ve exhausted all my chiropractice, applied kinesiology, and nutritional supplement knowledge to little avail. EFT is the last tool in my arsenal, so I decided to get better at it.
So, a couple of weeks ago, I ordered the full 3-volume EFT training video set on DVD from www.emofree.com. I’ve completed teh 2-DVD EFT Basic Course and already am able to use EFT with much better results. Here are some examples:
- Justina left dance class the other night and complained of stiffness in her hips, an increasingly common complaint for her. On the way home, I coached her on tapping for it. She initially judged it an 8 on a 0-10 scale. After 1 short round of EFT, it was only a 5. We kept going, and by the time we got home (10 minutes), it was at 0. She said it may increase again after she walked around a bit, so a few minutes later when she was in the kitchen making a late evening snack, I asked her about it. It was a 1. We quickly put it back to 0. She was very pleased.
- Earlier that same evening, Justina complained of a headache as we walked into the school for an IB program meeting for Donella. I had her do 2 rounds of the 3-point shortcut, and it was gone. Poof!
- I respond much more slowly than Donella, but I also have been getting some relief. For example, I lost my first 20 pounds, then weight loss stopped completely. Plateau. I gained back 2 pounds, but hadn’t changed my diet. EFT training led me to believe that I was “reversed” on the idea of losing more weight, and muscle testing confirmed. I spent a couple of days fixing the reversal, and now am losing weight again. Total weight loss is now 22 pounds, with 2-3 pounds this week.
- Today, I’ve had a bit more fat in my diet than normal since I’ve spent the day at my sister’s hours and don’t have the same foods available. After a delicious but not-lean steak for dinner, I was suddenly very, very tired. It took me a while to figure it out, but once I figured out (with muscle testing) that this increased fat intake was the culprit, I was able to fix it quickly with EFT.
- Donella’s contact was hurting her right eye tonight, and we were able to tap that down from a 7 to a 0. Earlier, she and I were experimenting and I was teaching her some about it. She judged her overall, normal, all-the-time stress level to be a 7. We tapped it down to a 0. That will continue to surface, of course, but she knows now by experience that she can act on it. I told her that she’s so used to it that she considers it to be normal. It’s not, and it’s time to fix it and change that experience for her.
- Last week, a good friend tripped and fell, face-planting right into a paved driveway. She was worried about it, possible concussion, etc. She called me, since she and I both know many of Karl’s methods and often use them. That day, I added some EFT tapping to it. We used muscle testing to check things, and my R.N. wife was there with me to help judge the purely medical situation. We used some of Karl’s trauma techniques, then I used EFT, and she visibly relaxed and got comfortably tired and began resting more easily. She went to work the next evening on schedule.
You’ll see my references to muscle testing, a technique I began learning from my good friend Karl in 2000. Karl has passed on now, and I’m very grateful that he broke some professional rules to teach me this technique. It helps me a lot. But the cool thing with EFT is that it’s not necessary. I was able to get there faster by testing things, but without testing, I still would have gotten there. Without testing, I still would have been tapping for fatigue, weakness, etc., found little improvement, and had to keep searching. I knew it had set in after dinner, so I could have done EFT for all the foods I ate. With muscle testing, I saved some time, but could have still gotten there.
There are myriad techniques like EFT that a variety of practitioners and healers and physicians all use. EFT has the advantage of being built as a self-service tool. It’s basic approach is highly successful, as I’m confirming within my own family now, but requires no diagnostic abilities. I like that.
I’m on DVD 3 now, the first of the “Beyond the Basics” series. It gets a little strange at times for my taste, and I’m a bit chagrinned that it seems now to be focused more on the psych therapist types instead of on end users like me. I can still get some insights from it, I think, though it takes a little “filtering” to ignore the psycho-babble and just get to the meat of things.
Still, I would readily recommend EFT to anyone.
