After a recent episode of back pain I went in search of relief and I thought I’d give the Emotional Freedom Technique or EFT a try.

I downloaded the Emotional Freedom Techniques manual from World Center for EFT

The technique uses pressure and a tapping sequence at various points on the face, hands and body.

It can be used for physical and emotional problems, such as phobias, weight loss, addictions.

Stage 1 – Setup

You repeat an affirmation 3 times…
Even though I have this _____________,I deeply and completely accept myself. (The blank could be something like craving for alcohol, fear of spiders, etc)

ie: Even though I have this knee pain, I deeply and completely accept myself.
or: Even though I have this debilitating grief, I deeply and completely accept myself.
…while you…

Simultaneously rub a “Sore Spot”….or….tap on the “Karate Chop” point (see KC on the EFT Sequence image).

There are two Sore Spots and it doesn’t matter which one you use. They are located in the upper left and right portions of the chest and you find them as follows:

Go to the base of the throat about where a man would knot his tie. Poke around in this area and you will find a U shaped notch at the top of your sternum (breastbone). From the top of that notch go down 3 inches (about 7cm) toward your navel and over 3 inches to your left (or right). You should now be in the upper left (or right) portion of your chest. If you press vigorously in that area (within a 2 inch radius) you will find a “Sore Spot.” This is the place you will need to rub while saying the affirmation.

Stage 2 – The Sequence

EB = beginning of the eyebrow
SE = side of the eye
UE = under the eye
UN = under the nose
CH = chin
CB = beginning of the collarbone
UA = 4 inches down from underarm
BN = for men, one inch below the nipple
BN = for ladies, where the underskin of the breast meets the chest wall
TH = thumb
IF = index finger
MF = middle finger
LF = little finger
KC = karate chop point

Tap about 7 times on each of the tapping points. See the manual available from http://www.emofree.com for full details about tapping points.

Stage 3 – The Gamut Procedure

First locate Gamut Point. It is on the back of either hand and is 1/2 inch behind the midpoint between the knuckles at the base of the ring finger and the little finger.

Next, you must perform 9 different actions while tapping the Gamut point continuously.

The 9 Gamut actions are:

1. Eyes closed
2. Eyes open
3. Eyes hard down right while holding the head steady
4. Eyes hard down left while holding the head steady
5. Roll eyes in a circle as though your nose was at the center of a clock and you were trying to see all the numbers in order
6. Same as #5 only reverse the direction in which you roll your eyes
7. Hum 2 seconds of a song (suggest Happy Birthday)
8. Count rapidly from 1 to 5
9. Hum 2 seconds of a song again

Stage 4 – The Sequence (again)

Repeat the Stage 2 sequence.

While it did not alleviate the back pain completely, I feel sure that it helped to ease the worst of the pain and I also recovered more quickly than I have done in the past.

Here are three videos from Yogatic - Yoga for Beginners…

I haven’t been getting enough exercise lately and my joints are getting stiff. I used to do yoga years ago so when I found these YouTube videos I thought I would give yoga another try.

Part 1 - These movements were completed without too much difficulty the main problem was in trying to look at the video while doing the moves but easier the second time as I knew what to expect.

Part 2 – Triangle pose and extended side-angle pose from mountain pose are a bit more difficult for someone as unfit as I am. Most difficulty in the triangle pose when extending my arm upward – I have had frozen shoulders and still don’t have a full range of movements but I stretched as much as I could. My muscles complained a little bit.

 

Part 3 - I managed this until I went into plank, had great difficulty in keeping straight but no real problems with anything else.

I plan to work through these 3 videos for a couple of weeks before I look to take yoga any further. I plan to be more supple and ‘bendy’ before the end of the year.

By Beth and Lee McCain

Can fear affect your desires when applying the Law of Attraction? You bet it can. Fear can be paralyzing when attaining what you desire if you’re not careful. And of course, fear can be debilitating in anything you do.

What is the purpose of fear? Fear can help you out when you are in a ‘do or die’ type of situation. It can encourage us to be more cautious and is a way of protecting ourselves. But our survival self, the one that tells us when to be cautious, can be overprotective at times. You are ultimately the one to decipher whether what you are afraid of is coming from your survival self and is a validated concern, or is merely weighing in and making its presence known, like so many other negative states, just because it can. The Law of Attraction will pick up on fearful thoughts and feelings and return more to be fearful of. Let’s tame the fear monster ahead of time so that the Law of Attraction will bring only positive results to your life.

Here’s how to be rid of the fear, or at least tame it, in order to obtain what you want out of life.

Let’s begin by focusing on exactly what you are truly afraid of. Is your fear validated? An example: Imagine you are preparing to jump out of an airplane minus a parachute. In this instance, is your fear validated by your survival self? Obviously, yes it is. Your survival self is telling you this is something to fear, and hopes that you won’t do it. The fear and caution are valid.

Now what about this one? You are about to start a new job and you are afraid that no one will like you and that you may do a bad job. Is this fear valid? Well, sure the new job could go as you see it and if you have been putting a lot of energy toward the new job this way, it probably will go that way. But is it really something to be afraid of? Does it threaten your physical being? See, your survival self is rearing its ugly head where it doesn’t belong and you need to tell it so. When you start to have the feeling of fear, make sure to examine it and see if it is a valid physical fear.

Now that you have figured out what to do (telling your survival self that you are handling this one, thank you very much…), how do you cease being fearful? First of all, within the Law of Attraction, anything that you focus on and feel, be it a happy or angry feeling, will attract a like feeling to you. This is the job of the Law of Attraction. It’s not being mean or vindictive toward you; the Law of Attraction is just taking what you tell it to do, and then brings it to you. Focus on what you don’t want, and you will get what you don’t want. Focus on what you do want, and, you guessed it, you will get what you want. Fear begets fear. Joy begets joy. Love begets love, and the Universe will give you what you feel.

How does fear serve you? Being afraid of something makes whatever that something is seem ominous or scary. What is there to be afraid of? Do you base your fear from past experiences? If that is the case, you have learned from those experiences and don’t need them or the fear anymore. Are you afraid of being hurt? Isn’t it better to take the risk and find out? What if that one person or that one situation you are afraid of is the one that is going to be beautiful and life altering and you may instead pass up because of fear. Beat fear at its own game. Don’t buy into it.

Handle your fear by asking if it is valid or not. If it is a valid fear, listen to it. But when it’s based on past experiences where you have been hurt or based on your own concern of failure, tell the survival self that you have to take the risk and do it anyway. The survival self will step back (it may take a few times), and you can trust the Universe that you will obtain what you want. As long as you keep your eye on your desired goal and trust the Universe to get you there, than there should be no fear, especially if you place your trust and faith in the Law of Attraction.
