From Stress To Success with EFT

· · Leave a Comment

EFT( emotional freedom technique) or energy tapping as it is commonly known, can help you go from stress to success.

Energy is all around us and in us. This life force energy vibrates at different frequencies depending on how we are experiencing life. It affects our emotions and our physical body. We experience stress in our minds but also in our bodies. Learning a technique like tapping empowers you to feel better. You’ll learn to pay attention to how you are feeling and to identify where that feeling is stuck in your body. You will work on releasing that tense feeling and getting your energy back into flow for optimal well-being.

Where attention goes, energy flows.

Our emotions are energy, the energy that moves us.

When you pay attention to something or someone you open a channel through which energy flows both ways.

Emotions are feedback

Your emotions are feedback from your energy system. We receive signals from our physical body in the form of feelings, such as tension, tightness, or pain.

We feel anxiety in the body, not just in the mind. This is why using tapping, which works with both the mind and the body is so powerful.

Energy tapping is about identifying where you feel the emotions in your body. You learn to find solutions to your own unique energy system problem.

With Energy Tapping you can measure your results before and after each round, being able to identify how you’re doing throughout the tapping routine is very empowering.

Almost all modern energy tapping methods, start and end in the Heart Position( both hands placed over your heart)

Breathing deeply in the heart position gives you a sense of comfort and stability, it grounds you in the present moment.

You then self-activate your body’s energy system by tapping on a sequence of acupressure points, because this will help your body to shift and dissolve stuck energy.

GOING FROM STRESS TO SUCCESS. 

Energy Tapping ( EFT) excels at

  • Deeply increasing your ability to stay present
  • Increasing your self-awareness
  • Helps to calm your nervous system 
  • Increase your vitality and mental focus.
  • Helps you quiet the mind, takes you out of your head’s mental chatter and gets you into body awareness.

In this day and age, the mind-body approach is vital in complementary therapies.

Ongoing research

By doing an online search you’ll find many evidence-based research papers written and analyses that have been done, on the benefits of EFT. Namely for anxiety, PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder), and depression. Which show positive effects.

The Science Behind Tapping

Personal Benefits

I have experienced stress and anxiety for years. It took the practice of EFT for me to identify the root cause of my anxiety.

Practice

There’s only one pitfall, you need to implement is, to experience the benefit.

I discover it was PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) as a result of a car accident I had 30 years ago. Even though the physical injuries healed over time, the mental and emotional impact was harder to recover from.

EFT has been a gift in my life. Firstly because it healed so much of that stuck energy that was causing the anxiety, and secondly, I don’t feel it anymore at a deep body energy level. It has gone.

The Impact of Stress

Chronic Stress and anxiety can have a profound negative impact on our health, furthermore, unresolved emotional factors impact the flow of energy in the body and may result over time, in a weakening in our system or moreover in a physical illness.

People who are less stressed, recover faster from illness because their immune system is healthier.

Your greatest success is to attain and maintain the healthiest happiest version of you. EFT can help you.

The Ultimate Guide to Reiki Healing

· · Leave a Comment


What is reiki healing?

With this ultimate guide to reiki healing, I hope to give you an understanding of reiki’s history, and its benefits. Also to explain how reiki works and introduce you to reiki’s five principles.
Reiki is a Japanese word derived from “Rei”, meaning “Universal, and “Ki” meaning
“the vital life force”. These Japanese characters, when combined, present the
concept of “Universal Life Force Energy”. Reiki can be defined as the art of
activating, applying, and balancing the universal life force energy that dwells
within every living being, animal, or plant.


We carry this life energy in our bodies in pathways called meridians, in centers
called chakras. It also flows around us in a field of energy called the Aura.
Science has established its existence and with the aid of Kirlian photography we
can see this energy that encompasses all living things.


When the flow of your “Life Force Energy” is disrupted, weakened, or blocked,
emotional or health problems tend to occur. Imbalances can be caused by various
situations occurring in our lives, such as pain, injury, emotional or physical
trauma, destructive lifestyle, and loss. low self-worth, poor relationships.


Reiki is not taught to practitioners in the traditional sense. It is transferred from a
Reiki Master to a student during a Reiki session called an” attunement”. This
initiates you into Life Force Energy and is part of the process of reintroducing you
to Spirit so that you become able to practice Reiki on yourself and in time others.

How does reiki work?


Reiki works holistically, incorporating the body, mind, and spirit by stimulating
your own natural healing abilities. The blocked emotional and physical elements
that lead to illness are cleared. The Reiki practitioner uses their hands to channel
energy to you.

Reiki heals by guiding and balancing the flow of energy in the body.
It raises the vibration of your energy, shifting the blockage to clear, heal, and balance the natural flow of
energy. Healing physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual layers. The term
“healing” in this context means, the balancing of energy in the body so it may heal
itself.


How Reiki Can Help You & It’s Benefits


People with all forms of illnesses or injuries can benefit greatly from Reiki healing.
You can use Reiki on yourself, others, animals, plants inanimate objects, or life
situations. Absentee healing can also be sent to people, places, or situations
anywhere in the world.

Reiki is spiritually guided; it has a certain wisdom about it
and when that wisdom joins with the innate wisdom of the person it is trying to
help amazing results can take place. The Reiki Practitioner is just a gateway
between the source of Reiki and the person it is trying to help.


Reiki can do no harm; it brings only benefits to the person receiving Reiki and the
person Offering Reiki. Reiki invites you to come as you are, it’s for everyone with
no judgments, no exceptions.


History of Reiki Healing.


Reiki traces its roots back to what is now Tibet, originating around 3000BC.
Reiki was rediscovered in the 19th century by a Japanese scholar Dr. Mikao Usui,
the founder of the Usui System of Reiki which is practiced most widely today.
Dr. Usui adopted the five Reiki Principles from the Waka poetry of Japan’s
Emperor, Meiji (1818-1912) The Reiki Principles are seen as the art of inviting happiness, and a tool to heal all illnesses.

The ultimate guide to reiki healing through its five principles.


Reiki practice is based on five principles. These core concepts are like affirmations
or intentions. By focusing on the present moment, they offer guidance for
connecting with your Reiki energy to boost your sense of well-being.


Just for today, I will let go of worry.
Just for today, I will let go of anger.
Just for today, I will give thanks for my many blessings.
Just for today, I will do my work honestly.
Just for today, I will be kind to my neighbor and all living things.

Manage Your Energy with Modern Energy Tapping

· · Leave a Comment

Introduction

When you’re feeling emotional pain, stress, or feel blocked in your life. It is your energy system that is blocked in this aspect of your life. You can often feel where this block is in your physical body. For example, the tension in your head, neck, or shoulders, that “gut feeling” you get in your stomach or a heavy feeling of pressure in your chest. Today we’ll discuss how you can manage your energy with modern energy tapping.

Energy EFT works by tapping on acupressure points on the body corresponding to meridians (energy pathways). This tapping action calms your nervous system and helps to release the blockage to increase your energy flow. As a result, your emotions are transformed.

Where Attention Goes Energy Flows

The Modern Energy Chart from The Guild of Energists https://goe.ac/

The Modern Energy Chart

How the Modern Energy Chart Works

This chart helps you to become aware of your energy system and its emotional states. Effects are easily measured on the chart and its simplified version, the SUE scale. The SUE scale (Subjective Units of Experience) simply means how you’re feeling at any given time.

This Chart can help you to become aware of how you’re feeling and become curious. The benefits of using tapping to manage daily stress and anxiety: it’s non-invasive, fast and effective, and easy to learn.

There are different ways (protocols) to deal with past, present, and future aspects relating to stress and anxiety. Modern Energy Tapping works only with positive setups to get you from any now state to a plus ten as fast as possible ( no psychotherapy or going into the past).

We start with the phrase “what do I need to overcome this problem?”

If you’re feeling unmotivated, tap for inspiration. Or maybe you’re feeling overwhelmed or distressed. Tap for peace, love, and ease, you’ll know what you need.

The four-step Modern Energy EFT process (example)

The problem: “I can’t pay my bills”

The question: “What do I need to solve this problem?” “What do I need more of?”

The solution: “I need more clarity. I need more support. I need more opportunities”

Tap for: Clarity, support, and opportunity

You can use this process for any problem you have to help you identify what you need and what to tap for.

Now that you know what you need to tap for, you can start a round of tapping.

The Energy EFT Sequence

Put your hand over your heart. Take 3 deep breaths and together and state your phrase, e.g. “I need more energy”.

14 Tapping points:

  • top of the head
  • center of the forehead
  • the inner corner of an eyebrow
  • side of the eye
  • underneath the eye
  • under the nose
  • on the chin crease.
  • collar bone
  • inside of the thumb, index finger, middle finger, ring finger, small finger
  • karate chop point

After tapping, it is time to pay attention to the thoughts and ideas that surface. When you calm your mind and body you can more easily connect to your intuition.

The best way to start is by giving yourself the experience of tapping.
