Mindfulness - Pay Attention

God's Word says, "“Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don’t get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes." Mt 6:34

Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) is a wonderful tool to do just that!

Remove the emotions around whatever is going on in your life, and allow God to deal with them.

Tap and let God!

EFT is not a substitute for medical care. Take full responsibility for your own health.

Something New!

Isaiah 43:19 New International Version (NIV)

 "See, I am doing a new thing!
    Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the wilderness
    and streams in the wasteland."

Christian EFT is something new!

EFT is not a substitute for medical help!  Take responsibility for your personal health at all times.

Fear and EFT

Fear is a lie of the enemy!

"Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but utest the spirits to see whether they are from God, for vmany wfalse prophets have gone out into the world. 2 By this you know the Spirit of God: yevery spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 3 and every spirit athat does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and bnow is in the world already. 4 Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for che who is in you is greater than dhe who is in the world. 5 They are from the world; therefore they speak from the world, and fthe world listens to them. 6 We are from God. Whoever knows God listens to us; whoever is not from God does not listen to us. By this we know hthe Spirit of truth and ithe spirit of error." 1 John 4:1-4 (ESV)

Christian EFT overcomes fear!

Trauma and Using Exact Words in EFT

From this week's EFTUniverse Newsletter, "Dr. Robert Scaer, a researcher and specialist in treating trauma, maintains that any type of negative life event that occurs when the person is in a state of relative helplessness can produce the same changes in the brain as those that occur in combat, rape, or abuse. He believes that what makes a life event become trauma isn't the nature of the threat but the degree of helplessness the victim fears plus that person's history of other trauma."

 

How many of these have all of you seen? A memory/event/emotion that should seem to be relatively insignificant ends up being that big T trauma that tailspins a client's life.

 

This is why what trauma to one person may not be trauma to another. Much of the meaning of the trauma is determined by what the client has experienced previously in life (how much other trauma) and the perceptions built around those earlier experiences.

 

Because of all of this, we consistently use the client's words and phrases because those particular words have a special meaning to the client. Those words could hold the perception of the event details, including all the sensory input.

 

Example:  Recently another student friend of mine tapped with a man around a ton of childhood trauma. She phoned me after tapping to "review" what she had done and to ask if I had any other suggestions for next session.

 

This client became very agitated when he told her the name his classmates called him in high school. His SUDS on several emotions were near 10. She asked permission and then started slowly having him just say that name over and over again, telling me, "I think we said it 50 times."  Guess what, with each repetition the emotional pull around that name lessened and lessened. My friend could literally hear and feel the power diminishing.

 

When the client left my friend's office, one more time on the street, she said the name to him again (testing), and the client looked at her saying, "Oh, that is so silly now. What does it matter?"

 

Success! EFT did its magic, the emotion was neutralized around those specific words, lessening the charge and the changing the perception around the events (memory reconsolidation).

 

How many years have I been doing this?  I still stand amazed at all the stories.

Remember to take full responsibility for your emotional and physical health. EFT is NOT a substitute for seeing a MD!

It's Ok to Not Be Ok

Recently, I have heard from so very many Christians who feel so very guilty about not feeling ok.

Many of them have stresses and strains of life. Marriage, finances, children, jobs, elderly parents, neighbors, and friends' problems weigh them down. Often times they have no idea where to turn and the guilt sets in because they feel overburdened when they don't rest in and rely upon God's help.

Well, what if Christian Emotional Freedom Techniques (CEFT) is God's answer?

I try to explain to these hurting brothers and sisters in Christ that God really is listening, but sometimes He answers in ways we don't expect.

Few of us would hesitate to take an antibiotic for an infection, or have an x-ray done when we think we've broken a bone, so why do we hesitate to do some tapping when we feel stressed?

EFT, especially done from a Christian perspective, is no less a healing modality than any other method done to make us feel better, and according to studies and much anecdotal evidence, it is much more effective than talk therapy because we are actually untriggering ourselves with the tapping.

Think about learning EFT today. Join me in Milwaukee for classes to do just that. I have one coming up this week - September 10-13th, 2015, and the classes for 2016 are listed on my website EFTforChristians.com .  

We need and are looking for more Christian EFT practitioners, so if the Holy Spirit is leading you in that direction, consider joining me for EFT classes soon.

If you are a Christian EFT practitioner, please contact me, as I would love to add you to our Practitioner list.

EFT is never a substitute for medical care. Call your personal physician should you need medical attention. Please take responsibility for all of your own emotional and physical health. God bless you!
