Guest guest Posted May 23, 2002 Report Share Posted May 23, 2002 Hi-- I like your line " I know this sounds nuts " -- yes, it does, however, I will probably try it. I know my kids are both very sensitive to acupressure points. My son had VERY traumatic hospital stays and barium enema's... I had him seen by a pediatric EMDR therapist (Eye Movement Desensitization Response). I had an EMDR session done on me for the trauma association of when he had his 7 minute febrile seizure, and I'll be darned if the session didn't have me crying heavily...my eyes were flicking back and forth and I couldn't control them--it was so weird. (in emdr, that is the state you want to get to--get the eyes going back and fort " erasing " the anxiety files, so to speak). So I had my son undergo EMDR to help him with issues that I felt were impacting his constipation. We had to write a story about the whole event(s) and my dh read it aloud while the therapist was tapping on his hands. I held Ethan and I could feel his abdomen going into knots during certain parts of the story. And we were all surprised when THAT NIGHT, he began to have normal bowel movements for the first time in a VERY long time. Very easy to push out, decent size... This lasted for an entire month. I may contact the woman again to do it again and see if we get the same result-- right now, he's doing OK, but it is not as good as it was during that month. Or maybe we will try it ourselves and see if we can duplicate it. But yes, the strangest things sometimes help. I like the price of this one you are mentioning-- free.

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2004 Report Share Posted September 14, 2004 Hi All! We use EFT on a pretty much daily basis now. for headaches, tummy aches, stiff muscles, anxiety, to keep blood pressure down naturally. I also do it to work out emotional issues that come up in life or from earlier life experiences that effect me negatively. its a combination of acupressure and affirmations. its been very effective for us. my husband no longer takes blood pressure meds. he just taps and asks his body to bring down the BP. and within several minutes it drops like 30 pts! also for allergies. or for like a stuffy nose in the AM.....tap one or two rounds of EFT and the nose clears. peace Beverly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 14, 2004 Report Share Posted September 14, 2004 , Tapping for emothional freedom is very personal and individual. As an example, it might take me more than one try to get release.It might take me many tries. Try when you are tapping to also use deep breathing, that helps too. My sister and I have lots of old time issues dating back to our childhood. Sometimes she makes me so angry I just can't stand myself. Sometimes after she calls me on the phone, I have to do a lot of tapping...LOL And, I sometimes offer a prayer - Dear Lord, please don't let me go over there and beat her head against the wall... This works! Just remember, tapping is for emtional freedom, not to stress yourself out on - How too's, why too's and when too's, just do it...you can not fail. You can not fail. You can not fail and you can't do it wrong. Anne Anne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 Hi Anne I finally got to read the whole thread on EFT. Its very exciting to me to hear other people using this easy and effective technique. AND your last paragraph really summed it up you can not fail, you can not do it wrong. and its not to stress you out...its to destress you out. AND...we often use a shortened technique. I dont always use the affirmation point first. and i dont always use the Gammut point section. If i feel blocked and that it is not working....then i go back and do the entire sequence. But often...just saying the affirmation as you tap each point is enough. and its easier to do in public that way for me. Another wonderful book i use with affirmations and points is Life Energy by Dr. Diamond. fabulous wisdom in it. and a wonderful way of looking at dis-eases. peace to all beverly > Just remember, tapping is for emtional freedom, not to stress yourself > out on - How too's, why too's and when too's, just do it...you can not > fail.
