Emotional Freedom Therapy (EFT) And Our Physical H
Many things can be much simpler than we often want to believe. If someone said they'd treated a long standing illness by tapping certain areas with their fingers, many people would scoff at the idea. Our beliefs are deeply embedded and many of us would rather retain our beliefs than remedy our problems.
If you have high blood pressure or other blood related problems, diet and exercise are a good place to start. Another remedy may be acupuncture. One of the issues with acupuncture is the puncture part and in order to make it work you have to be trained extensively to know exactly where to place the acupuncture needle.
An option to acupuncture is acupressure. Acupressure is something you can do yourself and don't have to have a laser sight to hit the mark. You do have to know the points that treat the problem you want to attend to.
Another option is Emotional Freedom Therapy (EFT). EFT works on the same basic theories as acupuncture and acupressure, except the complicated parts are taken out while leaving the basics of the treatment intact.
EFT sees the underlying cause(s) of all illnesses as a disruption or blockage of the body's energy flow. This is the same in acupuncture and acupressure, with the difference being the treatment technique. In EFT you treat all the major points by tapping with the fingers and you don't have to know the exact acupoint for the problem because you touch on them all in a quick and simple way.
Tapping an area makes sense when you understand the meridian system that's been used in Traditional Oriental Medicine for thousands of years. The meridians are like little highways that transverse the body carrying supplies to, and waste away from, the cells. If there's a wreck, that can be caused by any multitude of things, the meridian becomes congested or the energy flow is stopped completely. When no energy is able to flow, no nutrients reach the cells and no waste is hauled away.
Most of us have been in a situation on the freeway when traffic has come to a stop or, if we live in the city, when the garbage doesn't get hauled away. Things can get bad very quickly, and the same is true with the body. The big difference is, once the wrecker gets there and the freeway is cleared or the strike is over and the garbage collectors go back to work, everything gets back to normal and the problem is resolved within a relatively short period of time. In the body, there are cellular memories and we tend to hold onto our beliefs and emotional attachments.
If tapping the meridians can clear the emotional blockage, you can begin to clear the wrecks, haul off the garbage and get back to normal. Memorizing and understanding the necessary basics is simple and the procedure only requires a few minutes a day.
According to the originators, EFT can be used on phobias, pain relief, anger, addictions, weight loss, blood pressure and a whole list of problems. You can access more information and free downloads of material at www.emofree.com.
