Guest guest Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 Yes, I have used EFT and it works, it is essential that you concentrate on the issue and the feeling that is bothering you dont just go through the motions. It doesnt cure MS, but it can greatly relieve stress, which I find is a major factor in how I feel regarding ms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 Thanks . I'm not going to try and use it for MS. My 7 yr old step daughter's therapist wants me to try it to help her bioplar, ODD and RAD issues.

I used this handle " freewitheft " long before MS came along. Amazing, amazing stuff. Some other therapies that work along the same lines are TAT, NLP, and EMDR. Check into them! I could relate countless beneficial experiences with EFT, including with my children. But, honestly, if I heard the stories I probably wouldn't believe them myself. lol Crystal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 I have had more success with the 'Feelings Prayer' located at http://www.askclaudia.com/feelingsprayer.htm . I have kept my symptoms under control for years with this technique. I have not had any success with EFT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 I visited your web site and must say that never have I seen such a collection of utter nonsense assembled in one place. I feel sorry for anyone who is gullible enough to pay for any " service " you might provide. My only hope is that the moderators of this Yahoo group see your post for what it is- spam at it's worst and worthy of immediate deletion. > > I have had more success with the 'Feelings Prayer' located at http://www.askclaudia.com/feelingsprayer.htm .

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 EFT and EMDR are documented in the medical literature to be the most effective treatments available for conditions such as PTSD, etc. They are among the most used tools of Dr. Klinghardt and others such as he who treat lyme disease and other chronic health conditions. Someone apparently hasn't done their homework. I have considerable experience with EFT and EMDR. Bernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 Thank you for all your input on EFT. I am studying the level 1 book, and will learn to use it with my 7 yr old step-daughter.... I'll let you guys know how it goes. Oh.. and I must tell you all... I posted my EFT question to 2 different lists, this one, and my writing list. The number of positive experiences greatly outweighed the number of negative experiences. Thanks everybody!!!!

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 Hi Dudley, Here's how it was explained to me. Over time, our experiences, routines, habits, etc. create neural pathways. Sometimes, trauma is mixed in there too and it can be connected to neural pathways in the brain stem, which stimulate the fight-or-flight mechanism. This is the explanation behind the audio tape that plays over and over in our heads throughout life. Everytime someone implies that we are unworthy in some way, we are reminded of every other time someone has implied that. Everytime someone looks at us a certain way, we are reminded of other similar scenarios from the past, and it stimulates the fight-or-flight mechanism and stresses our bodies. EFT and similar techniques neutralize the emotional charge around that particular event, memory, trauma, etc. so that we still have the memory and experience the feelings, but don't stimulate anything in the brain stem. From what I understand, other techniques like hypnosis simply bypass that neural pathway. In addition to this, stimulating those accupressure points through tapping is good for keeping your qi flowing properly. Probably not as good as acupuncture, but still a beneficial thing!
