You are at the archive edition to: Energy Healers Association > Tik Addiction Treatment in Cape Town – Eighth Successful Session
Archive for month of December, 2010
This is the eighth in a series of articles about one brave person´s journey of recovery from methamphetamine, or tik, as it is known in South Africa. The purpose is to educate and inform about the effective new energy healing choices available to recovering addicts and all who help them.
Yasmin’s eighth session started with a mixture of good news and bad news. The good news is that she had managed four clear days after a small hiccup where she had encountered another addict who offered her a toke of their pipe. The bad news is that she had been too trusting of her ex and a friend, who owed her money that was still outstanding, so much so that she had to go without food last weekend. This is a great source of stress to Yasmin, as she is on a low pay to start with, and the added pressure at the beginning of the month is strong enough to send many ex-addicts-to-be right back to full-on addiction, buying drugs on credit from the dealer, with grave consequences all around.
We only had some fifteen minutes available, as Yasmin was on a short break from work. I concentrated on tapping (doing EFT) on Yasmin as she processed what had happened and her current predicament. With only three minutes left, I then felt her aura and gave her Reiki on the areas that were heavily unbalanced. The aura, put simply, is the electromagnetic field of the body. It can be felt by a skilled healer. Areas that feel very different usually indicate a problem, an energy disruption. I treated her as quickly as possible, using Seichem Reiki, NLP, and positive visualisations, until those areas felt better. It was a gentle way of wrapping up the session. Then she got up and I explained that she had to tap (do EFT) every day for negative emotions experienced that day, as this was a challenging stress situation that required diligent emotional management. I gave her a chart to fill out with the emotion released each day. This encourages people to do the tapping. I also gave her a chart to fill in for the number of clear days, with a challenge of having seven clear days or more this time.
Often, people who are attracted to drug addiction tend to be too trusting, compulsive, and do not have clear boundaries. Hence Yasmin’s current financial situation. Somewhere in her upbringing, clear boundaries were not taught, and so she was not prepared for saying no to the friends who now owe her more than she can bear. She had previously explained to me her family history, where her parents did not get the parenting and care they needed and so did not know how to parent and teach their children. Yasmin continued to have more successful days after this session, so despite the circumstances, she has not caved in as of the time of writing. She continues to tap daily and is managing the situation.
EFT stands for Emotional Freedom Techniques. It involves literally tapping with the fingers on special acupressure points whilst repeating special phrases designed to release the root causes of unwanted feelings and behavior.

Yasmin’s seventh session for methamphetamine addiction, or Tik, as it is known in Cape Town, was very encouraging. She had had only one hiccup in-between this and the previous session. She had two tokes of her friend’s pipe when her friend visited but had otherwise remained in the clear. We tapped all around the issue whilst discussing ways forward with this friend. Yasmin realizes that this person is a good-time friend and is using her to smoke tik at her home, as she had already been to rehab and was pretending to loved ones that she was clean. I asked Yasmin to imagine in her mind how else she could have handled the situation so that the friend would not have smoked in her home. Yasmin did this as I tapped on her, getting a new resolve and finding ways to stop this person from using her. She also realized that the friend is jealous and is trying to get Yasmin back into full-on addiction, as the friend had tried to quit and failed, using the methods and limitations available to her.
When this situation was cleared, I asked Yasmin to imagine watching a DVD of her life and stop at a point where if she were to relive it, she would have a tik craving. She came up with an event with a craving of seven out of ten, when her ex left her. We tapped till the craving went down to zero. We had tapped on this before, and then it had started at a 10+, an abreaction. This time, it started at a 7 and quickly dropped to a zero. This indicates an aspect of the event which had not been covered the previous time, and that is OK.
Yasmin left very relaxed. After this session, Yasmin carried on with the success to have six consecutive days without using, the longest she has had so far. She also reported not having cravings any more. She wrote me a poem afterwards which describes our sessions beautifully. I am truly grateful to EFT for bringing this freedom into Yasmin’s life. EFT, short for Emotional Freedom Techniques, is a revolutionary new method involving acupressure and targeted wording, that helps to release any emotional condition. I hope this article helps spread the word that addiction is not for life and that there is a good solution; that there is hope.

Yasmin is an ex-tik-addict-to-be (methamphetamine), who has agreed that I tell her recovery story as it unfolds, so that others will be encouraged to try Emotional Freedom Techniques for their freedom from drugs. Upon Yasmin’s arrival for her sixth session, I was delighted to hear that she had three clear days without using. This was great progress and a wonderful start to our session.
We started the session with muscle-testing. Muscle-testing is a technique derived from kinesiology and involves using muscle strength to communicate with the mind and body. Nobody knows quite how it works, but basically, I will explain what happens. Our muscles are their normal strength when we are telling the truth, when something is good for us, or when we are happy. When we tell a lie, or something (a substance, food, situation, or thought) is not right with our mind and body, our muscle strength diminishes slightly. Muscle-testing involves pushing on an arm or a leg in a particular way whilst the energy of, for example, a thought or substance is in the person’s energy field. If the person cannot keep their arm or leg in position, then the thought or substance is relevant.
I investigated (muscle-tested) first of all for various substances and for vitamin and mineral deficiencies, and all was clear. Next, I investigated for neurotransmitters, and there was a problem on the left side of her head. I also investigated for a number of emotional triggers and came up with a list to work on in our session. We then cleared the neurotransmitter challenge with a cold laser (635 nm laser shone on all the acupoints in the ears whist the energy of the neurotransmitters was in Yasmin’s energy field). This resulted in a clear muscle-test afterwards. Then we treated the emotional triggers with EFT. EFT is short for Emotional Freedom Techniques, a combination of acupressure and wording that helps release stuck negative emotions.
At the end of this session, Yasmin was very relaxed and positive.If you In-between this and the next session, she had four clear days. We are definitely moving in the right direction. We used a mixture of EFT and other energy healing techniques in this session.

Yasmin’s fifth session came two days after a friend had stopped by to smoke tik (slang for methamphetamine in Cape Town). Yasmin had not been having constant cravings any more and had not wanted to seek out tik that weekend, but the friend smoking is usually a big one for most users, and Yasmin gave in.
I took Yasmin back to that day, and her craving was a 3 out of 10 in that situation. We tapped on all aspects until it became zero. Then we went back to father issues. Yasmin’s father is very domineering, and what came up for healing in this session was that he rejects Yasmin and her sibling, the two youngest who dared to not toe his line. Several aspects of this rejection came up, and we dealt with them as well as we could in this appointment.
At the end of the appointment, I gave Yasmin a sheet with a clear goal on it – to have 3 clear days without using. I asked her to place it where she could see it, and to put a tick in the appropriate box for every good day, and a cross for every bad day. This is the first time I have felt confident giving Yasmin this clearly-defined goal. And neither of us was disappointed.
Yasmin has successfully carried on avoiding this friend as much as possible, to give herself space to think more clearly without being influenced by others, and also as part of her decision to change her life and surround herself by people more helpful of her chosen new way of life. By the time I next saw Yasmin, she had managed three clear days! This is for the first time in about three years.
This is one of a series of articles written about the treatment of Yasmin, an ex-tik-addict-to-be in Cape Town, South Africa. The treatment is done mainly with EFT, otherwise known as Emotional Freedom Techniques. EFT is a very flexible and versatile tool that can be used by anyone who works in the role of helping tik addicts in their recovery. It involves tapping with two fingers on special acupressure meridian points whilst repeating a releasing phrase. This combination of tapping and words helps us to let go of unwanted negative emotions and the associated behaviors. Without the negative emotions driving destructive behavior, there is no need for the bahavior any more, and the ex-addict-to-be can make a choice to be free.
With gratitude to Yasmin, who agreed for her story to be told, session by session.

Yasmin’s fourth session was just after an incident at work when she had eventually given in and bought some tik (slang for methamphetamine in South Africa) again. The interesting difference from previously is that she immediately identified the incident at work as what needed to be worked on. Another difference is that she had lasted about half a day longer than before without the tik. She recognized the work incident as the stress that needed to be released in order for the need for tik to be released. So we started there.
There is a colleague who is after Yasmin’s job, and while we all get these politics and they do not affect us so greatly, my suspicion was that Yasmin’s childhood trauma was making mountains out of the work molehills. My plan had been to go directly to these traumas at this session, however we had to release this more urgent recent situation first. We started by releasing the overwhelm as Yasmin thought of releasing this event. We did some tapping on “Even though I feel like I’m going to cry…” and calmed the situation enough to start a variation of the Tell The Story technique. This was done by Yasmin tapping continuously on her Collarbone as she told the story of the work incident. Whenever she got to a point where I could see her getting intense, we stopped and tapped for that particular point in the story, moving on when ready, telling the story, stopping to tap, and so on. When we got to the part when Yasmin gave in and bought the tik, I led a tapping for shame and guilt, and then Yasmin started tapping for feeling stuck in the addiction, which we carried on with for a few rounds. I find that this is a common theme which drives an addict towards the addiction, as it is a great source of stress. Then we tapped something like “Even though I needed this friend, my loyal friend, always there for me, even when people at work are on my case, I can always depend on it, I deeply love and accept myself”. We kept tapping until Yasmin would close her eyes, really imagine the worst part of the work incident, and she could feel a complete zero craving for the tik, which had started at a 9 out of ten.
Yasmin was feeling much calmer at this point, and we had half an hour to spare, so I asked if we could work gently on the father issue. She agreed. So we mentally quickly put all the father issues in a sealed box outside the room, with the door closed. After tapping on the overwhelm, I asked how much intensity out of 10 Yasmin found it, it was a 10. We tapped on “this sealed box outside the room”, and it became a zero within about 10 minutes. Then I asked Yasmin if she felt more intense if we were to open the door and she could just see the box, and she said yes, so we tapped for that until zero. We then brought the box inside, still sealed, and the intensity went up to 10 for this particular situation, for which we tapped till zero. We both knew the next step would be to open the box, which we did not have time for. So we tapped for sending the box to Timbuktu. I made sure Yasmin got a vivid picture of it leaving the Post Office with stamps all over it, on a plane to Timbuktu, and then totally out of sight.
Yasmin by then was feeling good and very positive, and I look forward to our next session. EFT is giving her an efficient way to release the underlying reasons behind the addiction. When there is no reason behind the addiction, there is no need for the addictive behavior any more.

In a continuing series of articles written just after the treatment, this is Yasmin’s important third session of EFT, or Emotional Freedom Techniques. The session was only 16 minutes, as Yasmin only had a short break from work, but we achieved a start on a central issue causing stress, and so it was worth it.
We started tapping straight away, tapping on ourselves something as follows.
* “Even though I have this addiction, I deeply love and accept myself”; when Yasmin interrupted with “I am starting to accept myself”, and so we changed it to that.
* “Even though I have this addiction, I allow healing to help me. I am making progress and choose to be proud of myself.”
* “Even though on the road to recovery, sometimes we slip and fall, I don’t need to concentrate on the bad days, it’s not helpful. I release the guilt and shame, and I choose to concentrate on the good days. I choose to be proud of the good days.”
And we carried on with: “Even though I have this addiction, I am willing to consider that I am an emotional person, just like everybody else. And I am open to the suggestion that I have negative emotions that the Tik drugs or distracts me from, and that by releasing these negative emotions, I will find peace. I choose to release the first emotion that comes to my head, on the count of three; 1, 2, 3″… And Yasmin immediately started a release with tears, so I started tapping on her as she continued releasing whilst telling me the story. Her child’s father had walked out on them recently. I encouraged her to tell me about it as I tapped, and then wrapped it up as we were approaching the time she should leave to go back to work. By then she was a lot calmer. I instructed her to tap on all the points as she told herself the story, when she got back home.
We finished with a calming Reiki treatment for three minutes, and made another appointment. Yasmin contacted me later to say that she was feeling better and that she had a craving at one point sometime after our appointment but was able to let it pass. One step at a time, Yasmin is walking in the right direction on the road to recovery. If you are a user or help drug users in their recovery, I hope this gives you optimism in the way forward with the new tapping techniques such as EFT.

On the morning of her second session for recovery from tik (Cape Town slang for methamphetamine), I received this in an email from Yasmin.
I trust you are OK. Maybe I chose the wrong method to help me or something, I feel awful honestly and I’ll understand if you don’t want to help me again, I smoked on Saturday, I felt so sick afterwards had to lie in bed the whole of yesterday, I can’t make our appointment today due to workload in the office, if you are still willing to help me help myself, you can advise when you’ll be available. I know you said nothing can happen for me to recover without the will of my own, I hate myself for being so weak. My child kept asking me why I am so sad. I felt so bad I wanted to text you but I felt awful.
I responded as follows.
Where did we agree to have only one session and you would be cured? At what point did I tell you you will never smoke again? And more importantly: You have tried berating yourself for smoking before, and has it worked? No! So stop it right away. It is not helpful to you.
You are not weak! You have found a way to cope with life. Tik was solution that you found to solve a problem, and for a while it worked. It took you years to be where you are now. And now this coping mechanism of smoking has become the problem, so you are learning a new way to cope with life. You are also at the beginning of a treatment. The beginning is just that.
More importantly, this is how a drug addict thinks:
* I am feeling bad.
* I need a solution right now.
* The solution must work instantly. (And as you know, the tik works instantly)
This is how a non-drug-taker thinks:
* I am feeling bad.
* I need to find out what happened to make me feel bad. Oh yes, I felt sad/angry/worried/couldn’t cope/needed to feel happy/needed comfort.
* I am working with my practitioner to slowly but surely release this feeling and find the true happiness that I deserve. Nothing in life is instant, so I am happy to wait. (And so you can wait for the result you want, which is to give up tik completely – learn to wait – it is a process)
The first step you must take is that while you are still using tik, change your thinking! If we do not change our thinking, we cannot move forward. The change of thinking comes before you are able to stop using.
Remember, I expect you to continue using until we reach a point where you can stop, and that is not only expected but is totally OK. Change your expectations. Treatment is not instant, because it is not a drug!
I am not giving up on you – why should I? You are doing well so far. You have written to me knowing that I will respond with a way to help you. You are not being stupid; you are being very clever! Well done – congratulate yourself on writing to me.
Please tap on the points as you say the Serenity Prayer (the poem) that I gave you – even though you are still using! This poem helps you to gradually but surely change your thinking. Now let´s make another appointment. I have tomorrow available and really want to see you. Can you make tomorrow?
It worked. Yasmin made another appointment, which was very successful.
Yasmin’s second session started with Reiki. I first scanned her aura and found too much activity in the shins and too little activity at the crown. The crown lack of activity in my experience indicates a depressed state, and so I said that I could feel a bit of depression there, upon which Yasmin nodded agreement, and seemed comforted that someone could connect with her feelings and validate them. I also pointed out the unusual activity at the shins, and she nodded emphatically, saying that because her bike broke down, she had to walk to work, and her legs ached.
I started by releasing at the shins, then I went to the head to start a chakra balancing between her seven major chakras, or energy centres. When I got to the throat, she started releasing with tears. I reassured her that this was normal, and that the throat chakra is where we store uncried tears and they were only coming out, so that her energy can become more balanced. I waited at the throat till she finished crying and was calm. Then I continued the chakra balancing. And by the end, the depressed energy at the crown had lifted; and so had Yasmin’s mood.
We then tapped with Emotional Freedom Techniques, EFT, on her bike break-down, on a close relative being also addicted to tik, and her child wanting to walk slowly that morning, when she needed to hurry. There was a release, especially around the heavy burden of guilt as the tik rules her head and takes her attention away from her child. We then tapped for her boss giving her a hard time. This was a big issue for Yasmin, and so we also did some tapping of “Even though I have this [Boss's Name] feeling, I deeply accept myself”. At the end, Yasmin was happy not to need the Tik any more. She also confided that she had taken a small amount when she got into work that morning and then left the rest untouched and decided not to smoke it. After the hassle with the bike, that was very good. We tapped some more, and I gave her general EFT homework using the main points. I also showed her a fun children’s version, so she could involve her child in the tapping and feel more free to tap at home. She said her child will enjoy that.
We finished with a grounding Reiki treatment, and Yasmin left saying she felt as if a big load was off her shoulders.
It still is early days, but the fact that Yasmin had not finished her packet, despite the extra pressures on this day, is a source of optimism. We arranged another appointment for the next day, when Yasmin proudly announced that she had not had any Tik since that small amount the previous morning.
This article is in a series of articles written as soon as possible after seeing Yasmin. This way, you will know that it is genuine. The purpose is to open the minds of drug-users and those trying to help them about the possibilities with tapping methods like EFT.

The aura, in energy healing parlance, is the energy immediately around the body. We are all surrounded by our aura, which is as much part of us as an arm or a leg. A gifted or skilled healer can feel your aura with their hands as if it were a spacesuit of energy that you are wearing. The aura is palpable to skilled hands. Some particularly gifted people can also see the aura. Every living thing has an aura, including plants.
Derren Brown, the famous UK showman, did a program on the aura. He interviewed a number of psychics and energy healers. Each told him about the aura from their point of view, giving the viewer a good all-round description of the aura. Then Derren interviewed a scientist. The scientist looked at all the information presented to him from the psychics and healers. He then arrogantly, dismissively and paradoxically said that it was only electromagnetism, and that proves the aura did not exist. Due to the biased slant of the program, it was not explained to the viewer that the scientist had just inadvertently shown that the aura did indeed exist and was very real, validating it as electromagnetism!
Whilst it is fascinating to discover and feel or see auras, the really interesting part is about the application of this skill. You see, your aura is not always the same. It changes from day to day, after a meal as you digest, if your physical health suffers, even with something as innocuous as a cold, flu, or have a stretched ligament, and if you are suffering from an emotional unease, such as fear, anger, or sadness, to name just a few examples.
An aura reading can help identify those areas of energy disruption. Once identified, a plan for healing can be formulated and carried out. Let me give some examples to illustrate.
“Tanya” came to see me for an aura reading and Reiki. I started by feeling the aura and noted an imbalance in the Solar Plexus chakra and that the aura was very low at the head, suggesting a low mood or depressed feelings. I explained to her that her aura at her Solar Plexus suggested something had been taken away from her against her wishes, whilst that at her head suggested she had a low or depressed mood. Tanya was very comforted by hearing this. She had grown up in a very loving home but where emotions were strictly forbidden and denied, and as a result she had not been able to openly admit her feelings or talk about them. By validating her feelings, she was able to move forward, knowing that someone knew of her problem and she was no longer alone with it. She was then able to tell me that she had suddenly lost her job and was depressed to be out of work. This allowed our session to move forward, as Tanya allowed the healing of her emotions to take place.
“Rohit” came to see me with a problem knee, and upon feeling the aura of that leg, I felt that there was a challenge at the hip. It transpired that Rohit had a bad back, which put his hip slightly out of place. Then, with healing for the back and some recommended Yoga, the knee, which had been stressed by the problem hip and back, was finally able to heal on its own.
If you would like to have an aura reading, you can contact any energy worker who utilizes this technique. Most Reiki or Quantum Touch healers skilfully perform aura readings.
You can enjoy the services of a Reiki or Quantum Touch practitioner here or attend an approved workshop local to you, where you can learn aura reading, Reiki, and healing. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.

This is the eighth in a series of articles about one brave person´s journey of recovery from methamphetamine, or tik, as it is known in South Africa. The purpose is to educate and inform about the effective new energy healing choices available to recovering addicts and all who help them.
Yasmin’s eighth session started with a mixture of good news and bad news. The good news is that she had managed four clear days after a small hiccup where she had encountered another addict who offered her a toke of their pipe. The bad news is that she had been too trusting of her ex and a friend, who owed her money that was still outstanding, so much so that she had to go without food last weekend. This is a great source of stress to Yasmin, as she is on a low pay to start with, and the added pressure at the beginning of the month is strong enough to send many ex-addicts-to-be right back to full-on addiction, buying drugs on credit from the dealer, with grave consequences all around.
We only had some fifteen minutes available, as Yasmin was on a short break from work. I concentrated on tapping (doing EFT) on Yasmin as she processed what had happened and her current predicament. With only three minutes left, I then felt her aura and gave her Reiki on the areas that were heavily unbalanced. The aura, put simply, is the electromagnetic field of the body. It can be felt by a skilled healer. Areas that feel very different usually indicate a problem, an energy disruption. I treated her as quickly as possible, using Seichem Reiki, NLP, and positive visualisations, until those areas felt better. It was a gentle way of wrapping up the session. Then she got up and I explained that she had to tap (do EFT) every day for negative emotions experienced that day, as this was a challenging stress situation that required diligent emotional management. I gave her a chart to fill out with the emotion released each day. This encourages people to do the tapping. I also gave her a chart to fill in for the number of clear days, with a challenge of having seven clear days or more this time.
Often, people who are attracted to drug addiction tend to be too trusting, compulsive, and do not have clear boundaries. Hence Yasmin’s current financial situation. Somewhere in her upbringing, clear boundaries were not taught, and so she was not prepared for saying no to the friends who now owe her more than she can bear. She had previously explained to me her family history, where her parents did not get the parenting and care they needed and so did not know how to parent and teach their children. Yasmin continued to have more successful days after this session, so despite the circumstances, she has not caved in as of the time of writing. She continues to tap daily and is managing the situation.
EFT stands for Emotional Freedom Techniques. It involves literally tapping with the fingers on special acupressure points whilst repeating special phrases designed to release the root causes of unwanted feelings and behavior.

December 29th, 2010Yasmin’s seventh session for methamphetamine addiction, or Tik, as it is known in Cape Town, was very encouraging. She had had only one hiccup in-between this and the previous session. She had two tokes of her friend’s pipe when her friend visited but had otherwise remained in the clear. We tapped all around the issue whilst discussing ways forward with this friend. Yasmin realizes that this person is a good-time friend and is using her to smoke tik at her home, as she had already been to rehab and was pretending to loved ones that she was clean. I asked Yasmin to imagine in her mind how else she could have handled the situation so that the friend would not have smoked in her home. Yasmin did this as I tapped on her, getting a new resolve and finding ways to stop this person from using her. She also realized that the friend is jealous and is trying to get Yasmin back into full-on addiction, as the friend had tried to quit and failed, using the methods and limitations available to her.
When this situation was cleared, I asked Yasmin to imagine watching a DVD of her life and stop at a point where if she were to relive it, she would have a tik craving. She came up with an event with a craving of seven out of ten, when her ex left her. We tapped till the craving went down to zero. We had tapped on this before, and then it had started at a 10+, an abreaction. This time, it started at a 7 and quickly dropped to a zero. This indicates an aspect of the event which had not been covered the previous time, and that is OK.
Yasmin left very relaxed. After this session, Yasmin carried on with the success to have six consecutive days without using, the longest she has had so far. She also reported not having cravings any more. She wrote me a poem afterwards which describes our sessions beautifully. I am truly grateful to EFT for bringing this freedom into Yasmin’s life. EFT, short for Emotional Freedom Techniques, is a revolutionary new method involving acupressure and targeted wording, that helps to release any emotional condition. I hope this article helps spread the word that addiction is not for life and that there is a good solution; that there is hope.

Yasmin is an ex-tik-addict-to-be (methamphetamine), who has agreed that I tell her recovery story as it unfolds, so that others will be encouraged to try Emotional Freedom Techniques for their freedom from drugs. Upon Yasmin’s arrival for her sixth session, I was delighted to hear that she had three clear days without using. This was great progress and a wonderful start to our session.
We started the session with muscle-testing. Muscle-testing is a technique derived from kinesiology and involves using muscle strength to communicate with the mind and body. Nobody knows quite how it works, but basically, I will explain what happens. Our muscles are their normal strength when we are telling the truth, when something is good for us, or when we are happy. When we tell a lie, or something (a substance, food, situation, or thought) is not right with our mind and body, our muscle strength diminishes slightly. Muscle-testing involves pushing on an arm or a leg in a particular way whilst the energy of, for example, a thought or substance is in the person’s energy field. If the person cannot keep their arm or leg in position, then the thought or substance is relevant.
I investigated (muscle-tested) first of all for various substances and for vitamin and mineral deficiencies, and all was clear. Next, I investigated for neurotransmitters, and there was a problem on the left side of her head. I also investigated for a number of emotional triggers and came up with a list to work on in our session. We then cleared the neurotransmitter challenge with a cold laser (635 nm laser shone on all the acupoints in the ears whist the energy of the neurotransmitters was in Yasmin’s energy field). This resulted in a clear muscle-test afterwards. Then we treated the emotional triggers with EFT. EFT is short for Emotional Freedom Techniques, a combination of acupressure and wording that helps release stuck negative emotions.
At the end of this session, Yasmin was very relaxed and positive.If you In-between this and the next session, she had four clear days. We are definitely moving in the right direction. We used a mixture of EFT and other energy healing techniques in this session.

Yasmin’s fifth session came two days after a friend had stopped by to smoke tik (slang for methamphetamine in Cape Town). Yasmin had not been having constant cravings any more and had not wanted to seek out tik that weekend, but the friend smoking is usually a big one for most users, and Yasmin gave in.
I took Yasmin back to that day, and her craving was a 3 out of 10 in that situation. We tapped on all aspects until it became zero. Then we went back to father issues. Yasmin’s father is very domineering, and what came up for healing in this session was that he rejects Yasmin and her sibling, the two youngest who dared to not toe his line. Several aspects of this rejection came up, and we dealt with them as well as we could in this appointment.
At the end of the appointment, I gave Yasmin a sheet with a clear goal on it – to have 3 clear days without using. I asked her to place it where she could see it, and to put a tick in the appropriate box for every good day, and a cross for every bad day. This is the first time I have felt confident giving Yasmin this clearly-defined goal. And neither of us was disappointed.
Yasmin has successfully carried on avoiding this friend as much as possible, to give herself space to think more clearly without being influenced by others, and also as part of her decision to change her life and surround herself by people more helpful of her chosen new way of life. By the time I next saw Yasmin, she had managed three clear days! This is for the first time in about three years.
This is one of a series of articles written about the treatment of Yasmin, an ex-tik-addict-to-be in Cape Town, South Africa. The treatment is done mainly with EFT, otherwise known as Emotional Freedom Techniques. EFT is a very flexible and versatile tool that can be used by anyone who works in the role of helping tik addicts in their recovery. It involves tapping with two fingers on special acupressure meridian points whilst repeating a releasing phrase. This combination of tapping and words helps us to let go of unwanted negative emotions and the associated behaviors. Without the negative emotions driving destructive behavior, there is no need for the bahavior any more, and the ex-addict-to-be can make a choice to be free.
With gratitude to Yasmin, who agreed for her story to be told, session by session.

Yasmin’s fourth session was just after an incident at work when she had eventually given in and bought some tik (slang for methamphetamine in South Africa) again. The interesting difference from previously is that she immediately identified the incident at work as what needed to be worked on. Another difference is that she had lasted about half a day longer than before without the tik. She recognized the work incident as the stress that needed to be released in order for the need for tik to be released. So we started there.
There is a colleague who is after Yasmin’s job, and while we all get these politics and they do not affect us so greatly, my suspicion was that Yasmin’s childhood trauma was making mountains out of the work molehills. My plan had been to go directly to these traumas at this session, however we had to release this more urgent recent situation first. We started by releasing the overwhelm as Yasmin thought of releasing this event. We did some tapping on “Even though I feel like I’m going to cry…” and calmed the situation enough to start a variation of the Tell The Story technique. This was done by Yasmin tapping continuously on her Collarbone as she told the story of the work incident. Whenever she got to a point where I could see her getting intense, we stopped and tapped for that particular point in the story, moving on when ready, telling the story, stopping to tap, and so on. When we got to the part when Yasmin gave in and bought the tik, I led a tapping for shame and guilt, and then Yasmin started tapping for feeling stuck in the addiction, which we carried on with for a few rounds. I find that this is a common theme which drives an addict towards the addiction, as it is a great source of stress. Then we tapped something like “Even though I needed this friend, my loyal friend, always there for me, even when people at work are on my case, I can always depend on it, I deeply love and accept myself”. We kept tapping until Yasmin would close her eyes, really imagine the worst part of the work incident, and she could feel a complete zero craving for the tik, which had started at a 9 out of ten.
Yasmin was feeling much calmer at this point, and we had half an hour to spare, so I asked if we could work gently on the father issue. She agreed. So we mentally quickly put all the father issues in a sealed box outside the room, with the door closed. After tapping on the overwhelm, I asked how much intensity out of 10 Yasmin found it, it was a 10. We tapped on “this sealed box outside the room”, and it became a zero within about 10 minutes. Then I asked Yasmin if she felt more intense if we were to open the door and she could just see the box, and she said yes, so we tapped for that until zero. We then brought the box inside, still sealed, and the intensity went up to 10 for this particular situation, for which we tapped till zero. We both knew the next step would be to open the box, which we did not have time for. So we tapped for sending the box to Timbuktu. I made sure Yasmin got a vivid picture of it leaving the Post Office with stamps all over it, on a plane to Timbuktu, and then totally out of sight.
Yasmin by then was feeling good and very positive, and I look forward to our next session. EFT is giving her an efficient way to release the underlying reasons behind the addiction. When there is no reason behind the addiction, there is no need for the addictive behavior any more.

In a continuing series of articles written just after the treatment, this is Yasmin’s important third session of EFT, or Emotional Freedom Techniques. The session was only 16 minutes, as Yasmin only had a short break from work, but we achieved a start on a central issue causing stress, and so it was worth it.
We started tapping straight away, tapping on ourselves something as follows.
* “Even though I have this addiction, I deeply love and accept myself”; when Yasmin interrupted with “I am starting to accept myself”, and so we changed it to that.
* “Even though I have this addiction, I allow healing to help me. I am making progress and choose to be proud of myself.”
* “Even though on the road to recovery, sometimes we slip and fall, I don’t need to concentrate on the bad days, it’s not helpful. I release the guilt and shame, and I choose to concentrate on the good days. I choose to be proud of the good days.”
And we carried on with: “Even though I have this addiction, I am willing to consider that I am an emotional person, just like everybody else. And I am open to the suggestion that I have negative emotions that the Tik drugs or distracts me from, and that by releasing these negative emotions, I will find peace. I choose to release the first emotion that comes to my head, on the count of three; 1, 2, 3″… And Yasmin immediately started a release with tears, so I started tapping on her as she continued releasing whilst telling me the story. Her child’s father had walked out on them recently. I encouraged her to tell me about it as I tapped, and then wrapped it up as we were approaching the time she should leave to go back to work. By then she was a lot calmer. I instructed her to tap on all the points as she told herself the story, when she got back home.
We finished with a calming Reiki treatment for three minutes, and made another appointment. Yasmin contacted me later to say that she was feeling better and that she had a craving at one point sometime after our appointment but was able to let it pass. One step at a time, Yasmin is walking in the right direction on the road to recovery. If you are a user or help drug users in their recovery, I hope this gives you optimism in the way forward with the new tapping techniques such as EFT.

On the morning of her second session for recovery from tik (Cape Town slang for methamphetamine), I received this in an email from Yasmin.
I trust you are OK. Maybe I chose the wrong method to help me or something, I feel awful honestly and I’ll understand if you don’t want to help me again, I smoked on Saturday, I felt so sick afterwards had to lie in bed the whole of yesterday, I can’t make our appointment today due to workload in the office, if you are still willing to help me help myself, you can advise when you’ll be available. I know you said nothing can happen for me to recover without the will of my own, I hate myself for being so weak. My child kept asking me why I am so sad. I felt so bad I wanted to text you but I felt awful.
I responded as follows.
Where did we agree to have only one session and you would be cured? At what point did I tell you you will never smoke again? And more importantly: You have tried berating yourself for smoking before, and has it worked? No! So stop it right away. It is not helpful to you.
You are not weak! You have found a way to cope with life. Tik was solution that you found to solve a problem, and for a while it worked. It took you years to be where you are now. And now this coping mechanism of smoking has become the problem, so you are learning a new way to cope with life. You are also at the beginning of a treatment. The beginning is just that.
More importantly, this is how a drug addict thinks:
* I am feeling bad.
* I need a solution right now.
* The solution must work instantly. (And as you know, the tik works instantly)
This is how a non-drug-taker thinks:
* I am feeling bad.
* I need to find out what happened to make me feel bad. Oh yes, I felt sad/angry/worried/couldn’t cope/needed to feel happy/needed comfort.
* I am working with my practitioner to slowly but surely release this feeling and find the true happiness that I deserve. Nothing in life is instant, so I am happy to wait. (And so you can wait for the result you want, which is to give up tik completely – learn to wait – it is a process)
The first step you must take is that while you are still using tik, change your thinking! If we do not change our thinking, we cannot move forward. The change of thinking comes before you are able to stop using.
Remember, I expect you to continue using until we reach a point where you can stop, and that is not only expected but is totally OK. Change your expectations. Treatment is not instant, because it is not a drug!
I am not giving up on you – why should I? You are doing well so far. You have written to me knowing that I will respond with a way to help you. You are not being stupid; you are being very clever! Well done – congratulate yourself on writing to me.
Please tap on the points as you say the Serenity Prayer (the poem) that I gave you – even though you are still using! This poem helps you to gradually but surely change your thinking. Now let´s make another appointment. I have tomorrow available and really want to see you. Can you make tomorrow?
It worked. Yasmin made another appointment, which was very successful.
Yasmin’s second session started with Reiki. I first scanned her aura and found too much activity in the shins and too little activity at the crown. The crown lack of activity in my experience indicates a depressed state, and so I said that I could feel a bit of depression there, upon which Yasmin nodded agreement, and seemed comforted that someone could connect with her feelings and validate them. I also pointed out the unusual activity at the shins, and she nodded emphatically, saying that because her bike broke down, she had to walk to work, and her legs ached.
I started by releasing at the shins, then I went to the head to start a chakra balancing between her seven major chakras, or energy centres. When I got to the throat, she started releasing with tears. I reassured her that this was normal, and that the throat chakra is where we store uncried tears and they were only coming out, so that her energy can become more balanced. I waited at the throat till she finished crying and was calm. Then I continued the chakra balancing. And by the end, the depressed energy at the crown had lifted; and so had Yasmin’s mood.
We then tapped with Emotional Freedom Techniques, EFT, on her bike break-down, on a close relative being also addicted to tik, and her child wanting to walk slowly that morning, when she needed to hurry. There was a release, especially around the heavy burden of guilt as the tik rules her head and takes her attention away from her child. We then tapped for her boss giving her a hard time. This was a big issue for Yasmin, and so we also did some tapping of “Even though I have this [Boss's Name] feeling, I deeply accept myself”. At the end, Yasmin was happy not to need the Tik any more. She also confided that she had taken a small amount when she got into work that morning and then left the rest untouched and decided not to smoke it. After the hassle with the bike, that was very good. We tapped some more, and I gave her general EFT homework using the main points. I also showed her a fun children’s version, so she could involve her child in the tapping and feel more free to tap at home. She said her child will enjoy that.
We finished with a grounding Reiki treatment, and Yasmin left saying she felt as if a big load was off her shoulders.
It still is early days, but the fact that Yasmin had not finished her packet, despite the extra pressures on this day, is a source of optimism. We arranged another appointment for the next day, when Yasmin proudly announced that she had not had any Tik since that small amount the previous morning.
This article is in a series of articles written as soon as possible after seeing Yasmin. This way, you will know that it is genuine. The purpose is to open the minds of drug-users and those trying to help them about the possibilities with tapping methods like EFT.

The aura, in energy healing parlance, is the energy immediately around the body. We are all surrounded by our aura, which is as much part of us as an arm or a leg. A gifted or skilled healer can feel your aura with their hands as if it were a spacesuit of energy that you are wearing. The aura is palpable to skilled hands. Some particularly gifted people can also see the aura. Every living thing has an aura, including plants.
Derren Brown, the famous UK showman, did a program on the aura. He interviewed a number of psychics and energy healers. Each told him about the aura from their point of view, giving the viewer a good all-round description of the aura. Then Derren interviewed a scientist. The scientist looked at all the information presented to him from the psychics and healers. He then arrogantly, dismissively and paradoxically said that it was only electromagnetism, and that proves the aura did not exist. Due to the biased slant of the program, it was not explained to the viewer that the scientist had just inadvertently shown that the aura did indeed exist and was very real, validating it as electromagnetism!
Whilst it is fascinating to discover and feel or see auras, the really interesting part is about the application of this skill. You see, your aura is not always the same. It changes from day to day, after a meal as you digest, if your physical health suffers, even with something as innocuous as a cold, flu, or have a stretched ligament, and if you are suffering from an emotional unease, such as fear, anger, or sadness, to name just a few examples.
An aura reading can help identify those areas of energy disruption. Once identified, a plan for healing can be formulated and carried out. Let me give some examples to illustrate.
“Tanya” came to see me for an aura reading and Reiki. I started by feeling the aura and noted an imbalance in the Solar Plexus chakra and that the aura was very low at the head, suggesting a low mood or depressed feelings. I explained to her that her aura at her Solar Plexus suggested something had been taken away from her against her wishes, whilst that at her head suggested she had a low or depressed mood. Tanya was very comforted by hearing this. She had grown up in a very loving home but where emotions were strictly forbidden and denied, and as a result she had not been able to openly admit her feelings or talk about them. By validating her feelings, she was able to move forward, knowing that someone knew of her problem and she was no longer alone with it. She was then able to tell me that she had suddenly lost her job and was depressed to be out of work. This allowed our session to move forward, as Tanya allowed the healing of her emotions to take place.
“Rohit” came to see me with a problem knee, and upon feeling the aura of that leg, I felt that there was a challenge at the hip. It transpired that Rohit had a bad back, which put his hip slightly out of place. Then, with healing for the back and some recommended Yoga, the knee, which had been stressed by the problem hip and back, was finally able to heal on its own.
If you would like to have an aura reading, you can contact any energy worker who utilizes this technique. Most Reiki or Quantum Touch healers skilfully perform aura readings.
You can enjoy the services of a Reiki or Quantum Touch practitioner here or attend an approved workshop local to you, where you can learn aura reading, Reiki, and healing. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
