Eft

EFT stands for Emotional Freedom Technique. A kind of emotional detoxing.

It's based on acupuncture but instead of needles involves tapping on points while running through a mental process or EFT "rounds" discussing emotions/symptoms/whatever you want to deal with.

http://www.emofree.com/ - I think the site is down temporarily but google and youtube should point you in the right direction.

People claim it can cure a range of illnesses and that built up negative emotions and complexes cause serious health problems. There is no science proving it though so it's considered a pseudo science.

While I don't believe that it's a magical cure all I think it has it's benefits, even if all the tapping does is keep you calm, grounded and have a meditative effect it's quite therapeutic in itself.

It's a fact that a build up of emotions can be detrimental to your health, at least by throwing off your balance, they can effect your sleep, digestion and immune system. As well as obviously your mental health! Talking through your feelings and examining your fears, insecurities or any negative feelings you have can only be healthy by helping you work them out. EFT is about picking apart the problem, going deeper so that you're tapping rounds on the right thing. The process itself is helpful whether the claims have anything based in fact or not.

For some reason a huge part of it is also drinking lots of water between rounds. Nearly always a good thing.

Because I try to base things in science and like to see the facts of things I'm probably not it's best advocate but I do support and recommend it.

I was thinking of using it alongside detox fasting and gentle yoga for a physical and mental all round thorough detox.

Thoughts?

I was in LOVE with EFT (trained in quite a bit of it; studied for a few years; used with clients; have entire EFT library and several other sets, like the Tapping World Summit), until....
I discovered MIR!!!! I love that even more and holy moly is it ever simple! Like, 1,000 times simpler.

Check out the site and watch the videos and share what you think! I'm so into alternative energetic healing techniques and LOVE talking about them with people.

Thanks for sharing that!

It looks interesting. I'm open minded enough to give it a go and see if it works for me.

I think I'd be keen on continuing with EFT too. I think EFT has some proven benefits and would be well used during detoxes which I plan on doing periodically.

I will give that a try though! Especially since it's so easy it's just a process rather than a permanent practice.

I'm also thinking of combining the EFT Personal Peace Process with a fast, perhaps my first longer fast or my second.

I'll be sure to post if I feel the MIR method is useful to me. :)

Oh yea, no reason to not use EFT. I used that, the Sedona Method, and The Work of Byron Katie for a long time. Now I love Sedona, The Work and MIR and I especially love MIR because it's SO simple and I've gotten such fast and astounding results so easily. I still use The Work often when I get stuck on an issue, but I'm to the point now where I can quickly jump to the "turn-around" step and let go of whatever has been stuck for/bugging me.
And this might sound weird to say, but THANK YOU for doing what you're doing! I truly believe that when anyone heals, we ALL grow closer to a more beautiful existence for all, analogouse to the the "butterfly flapping its wings and causing the tsunami in another part of the world."
