Using EFT for physical issues has been a long standing practice.
In his book called "The Biology of Belief", Bruce Lipton talks about how almost every physical issue (illness, disease or injury) begins with a thought or an emotional environment that leads to the problem. I made this short video about how I tripped over some stairs and fell, injuring my back. In that video, I show you how to apply language and Tapping to relieve the pain and subsequent injury
Most of us have beliefs around how we get sick or develop chronic illnesses. Much of the time we equate "diseases" like cancer, IBS or diabetes to genetic anomalies in our system. Lipton has proven that 99% of "disease" is not purely genetic and that we have control over the emotional soup we serve up to our bodies that trigger potential genes to activate and create illness. If this is true, then we have the power to heal ourselves. As you were taught to live with stress and negative self talk you can be taught to live in harmony with your body. This training takes practice so don't be hard on yourself about being hard on yourself. These are just old habits. Old habits are hard to break at first but persistence wins out. Every time you engage in stressful thinking question those thoughts and say something like "is that a loving thought?" "Oh well, just the old habit" and then find something to be grateful for. Feeling and expressing gratitude is the fastest way to generate more of what we want in life. (paraphrased from Dr. Joe Dispenza in his book called "Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself" "How to lose your mind and create a new one".) (love that title).
Imagine living in a toxic stew of stress hormones for most of our waking hours. Imagine waking up frequently at night worrying about what you have to do, what you haven't done, who you offended, who offended you or how your kids are. Then imagine that some of your loved ones have high blood pressure or heart disease and you believe it is only a matter of time before heart disease shows up for you. May as well worry about that also, while you are worrying.
All the while, toxic stress hormones, cortisol and adrenaline among them, are coursing through your body from the moment of awakening to the moment of sleep and beyond, as you wake up fretting in the night. Day after day you create and launch acidic chemicals throughout your body with the (unintended) intention of receiving heart disease because "it is genetic". It doesn't take a geneticist to understand that worrying about what can go wrong creates more of what can go wrong.
Tapping to the rescue! Using EFT multiple times a day to relieve stress and anxiety turns down the stress hormone response. Re framing the language from worry to "I am safe now" or something similar, while "Tapping" changes the internal narrative from fear to love. Love yourself, you deserve it. If you don't believe that book a private appointment and I will show you how to believe it.
One of the best ways to overcome stress, fear and anxiety is to join us for Level 1 and 2 EFT training and, at the very least, join us for Tuesday night group. Best 10 bucks you will ever spend.
Hope to see you at 'Tapping' Group Tuesday at 7 Atlantic
