Cape Town EFT Practitioner Resolves Own Childhood Issue

7:31 pm in Addictions, Blog, Practitioners News

Nicky Davies wrote in with the following story. It shows you how anyone can learn EFT to use on themselves. So often, people are afraid of starting a course of treatments in case they run out of funds and cannot complete it. However, after a few EFT sessions with your practitioner, you can carry on on your own if you choose to, or you can treat yourself and attend sessions with an experienced practitioner. So, here is Nicky´s story…

A few evenings ago I was doing some EFT on myself. I didn’t really know what to work on, I was just playing and having fun. I spontaneously for no logical reason started working on a scene from childhood. I’ve worked on this so many times but it has remained such a strong memory, it didn’t feel like its ‘done’ yet.

The basic scene is when I was walking down the passage and came across my brother and sister fooling about in his bedroom and I wanted to join in, but couldn’t and felt really left out. Sometimes when I work on it I guess the intensity as I’m not ‘in’ the feeling. This time I did the guessing of intensity and it was 6 or 8 out of 10. After a round of tapping I started tapping in my mind on 6-year-old Nicky (at a guess), instead of the adult Nicky thinking about the scene. The shift was big; went down to about 2 almost immediately, but it was late so I went to bed.

The next time I went back to it, it still felt like a 2 but there was something more but 6 yr old me couldn’t articulate it. I asked her if she felt anything in her body and she said she had a ‘whirly feeling in her tummy’. After tapping a few rounds, that disappeared. Still talking to 6 year old me, she had a cognitive shift and in a mock grown up way said ‘you know I think he (my brother) is like sliced cheese, no like chocolate, like sliced chocolate and I am not, and the only way for me to be like sliced chocolate is to play with him, that’s the only way I can be sliced chocolate.´

This is when the laughter kicked in and I couldn’t stop laughing, what she had said was so true as to what I had been thinking, now the whirly feeling in the tummy became a zero.

I asked 6 yr old me to think back to the incident and tell me how she felt about it. Her whole perspective to the incident had changed. She said:
1) They started playing when I wasn’t around, its not like they waited for me not to be there and it was a game for 2, I could always play another time.
2) I don’t know how to join in, maybe I don’t have to, maybe there are times I forgot when I had fun with him I just can’t remember them now.
3) I don’t know why I’m making such a big thing of this incident, I must have just wanted to do what they were doing. I thought it was some big thing I was missing out on but it wasn’t it was just a game I wasn’t part of and nor was anyone else.
4) It´s just something that happened its boring thinking about this, I don’t want to think about it anymore. I want to think of something fun!

Cape Town Quantum Touch Practitioner Heals Chronic Pain

11:00 am in Addictions, Blog

Margaret*, a lovely woman in her late 50′s, came to me for a quantum touch session a little while ago. Most of my sessions include quantum touch at the beginning and end for an opening and balancing at the start and for the integration at the end, however Margaret’s session was purely Quantum Touch.

At the start of the session, Margaret told me she had had hip problems for 30+ years and headaches and back trouble for almost as long. Although EFT would be a wonderful resource for getting to the route cause, of this issue, Margaret’s character and personality indicated she needed to start with Quantum Touch.

I began running the energy into Margaret’s hips – the left hip was significantly higher at the back than the left. After about 10 minutes she reported feeling a bit of swirling sensations in her stomach. Her hips were still out of alignment but something was definitely going on in her stomach area. It was not an uncomfortable sensation and my hands were still on her hips. After about 20 minutes the sensation calmed down a bit and we both felt a definite subtle jolt - her hips were in complete alignment at the back.

This is a wonderful demonstration on how often what you want and expect to shift is not the first thing to shift. Quantum Touch goes where it is needed first. In this instance, Margaret’s internal organs had been so used to her uneven hips, if the hips had adjusted first she would have been very uncomfortable and likely the alignment of her hips would go back to the comfort zone, however once the internal organs had lined up correctly, the body felt it was safe for the hips to move.

As they say, a healer is someone who got sick and got better, a great healer is someone who got really sick and got better fast. It is not me doing the healing, I am there to provide the environment your body needs to heal itself.

The rest of the session went smoothly with some subtle changes. I worked on her front and side hips, her shoulders and occipital bones. The occipital bones were also quite unbalanced. By the end of 1.5hrs, Margaret left with a much lighter step – or was that just my imagination.

Kinesiology-Based Muscle-Testing With EFT – Cape Town, Melinda, Third Session

10:19 pm in Blog, EFT News

EFT and Kinesiology-Based Testing – Melinda, Third Session

“Melinda” had been referred to me for overcoming issues based around a previous addiction to buttons and dagga. She was by now over both the drugs and her abusive ex-boyfriend, who had taken her down that slippery slope to begin with. She proudly announced at the beginning of the session that although he has been making serious efforts to get her back, including several sms text messages, she now felt nothing for him and was no longer afraid of abusive memories involving him. Melinda also proudly announced that she is making great headway in finding a job and was expecting an answer in the next few days.

We started the session with any job fears that she may have. There was a job with a low income she was pretty sure she would get if the conditions were right. She had no fears about it. The other job she was applying for, however, was better paid and involved more formal application processes. This gave Melinda a fear of 2-3 out of ten. She clearly had been doing her tapping at home! Anyway, we tapped for all aspects of this job application, including “Even though I’m nervous; what will they think about me? …” and “Even though it’s more money…” and got it down to zero.

Next, we tapped for feelings about Melinda needing to get a job in order to move back in with her mother – a condition imposed by her step-father to prove that she has indeed changed. And we went on from there to do kinesiology-based muscle-testing. Melinda tested relevant for a couple of family members. We cleared one with tapping, but the other was still producing a weak muscle test, which meant that Melinda still had a problem there. So I then tested for various aspects of her relationship with this person. The following came up as relevant: Shame, rejection, disillusionment, disappointment, confusion, panic, betrayal, and sadness. Melinda also tested relevant for the hypothalamus, and in particular, in relation to this family member and Melinda’s sleep challenges. We tapped on all of the above, using statements like ¨Even though I have this shame to do with [this person], I deeply love and accept myself”. There were some tears, but they soon passed, and Melinda was calm again. We re-tested afterwards, and Melinda’s arm was strong, meaning she had released the main blocks to do with this person.

I gave Melinda a general tapping to do if needed, plus a hypothalamus tapping to do every night for six weeks. The statement for this went something like “I allow healing to my hypothalamus, I deeply love and accept myself”. We agreed to conclude our sessions there.

I am very pleased with Melinda’s progress. She has embraced the tapping, attended sessions, and done her homework. Her life is moving forward in every positive direction. She now also has a tool for life to help her in any situation, and that is great.

Recovery After Buttons and Dagga Addiction and Traumatic Relationship

8:14 pm in Blog, EFT News

I first heard about “Melinda” from her mother. She had been banned from visiting due to a time when it was suspected she stole to support her buttons and dagga (Cape Town slang for Mandrax and marijuana) habit. Her mother explained that Melinda was a good person who had gotten involved with the wrong people, and that she thought Melinda was off the drugs but had many emotional challenges to overcome. When I met Melinda, she insisted that she had been clean for just over a month. She explained that she had insomnia since stopping smoking the buttons and dagga. She also had a number of fears. I explained that to help her live free from addiction and get a job, it would be good to get rid of the energy blocks in her path. I briefly explained about EFT, short for Emotional Freedom Techniques, and how it releases unwanted feelings and behaviour with a mixture of acupressure and releasing wording. She agreed to try it.

Before we started, Melinda needed to use the toilet. Upon her return, she revealed that this was a scary experience due to being inside the cubicle. Now we have a lovely toilet, so this fear was very much a phobia, so we started work there. I asked her on a scale of 10-0, if she were to be in the toilet again, what number fear would she have, where 10 was the greatest. She said it was an 8. So we tapped something like “Even though I have this toilet fear…” and “Even though it was an enclosed space…”, bringing this down to a 2 or 3; within minutes. I then took a detour and asked her what the scariest thing in her life was, and she said it was her brother-in-law. We tapped a specific brother-in-law incident from a 9 to a low number. Then I had Melinda close her eyes and vividly imagine the incident, in case there were fears lurking in the background that we had missed which could surface later. Indeed there were, and we tapped them all down to a 2 out of 10. We then went back to the toilet incident and brought it down to a 1 out of 10. We then finished with some easy tapping homework that Melinda could do in-between sessions, and we scheduled another session.

The reason why I worked on seemingly non-drug issues with Melinda is to help her release the negative emotions that can lead to re-addiction, and to help her re-build her life with confidence. I did not work directly on the insomnia in this session, because other issues were higher priority at the time. She is doing very well and going from strength to strength.

When Melinda arrived for her second session about two weeks later, she was clearly calmer and more confident than before. She had been able to have normal conversations with her brother-in-law and had even confronted him about an issue that was bothering her. She also visited the toilet without fear.

I asked her what she wanted to work on, and she said she wanted to go to the shop alone without fear that her abusive ex-boyfriend would be there. We started with Emotional Freedom Techniques tapping in general about this fear. Then I asked her if this was a real fear. It transpired that it was, although her ex had not physically harmed her since she had left him. I asked her then about the worst time he had beaten her. She said it was the last time, when she had a swollen face for weeks, needed to go to hospital and managed to finally end the relationship. I asked to to imagine watching the event on TV, and to tell me what she was seeing on TV at that moment. She replied “My face”. The TV face brought an intensity of 9 out of 10. We tapped Setups like “Even though I have this feeling about my face, I deeply accept myself” and Reminders like “What he did to my face”, “It was horrible to go through this”, and “It was really scary”. We finally brought the whole event to a zero, even when Melinda tried her best to vividly imagine it. We then worked on going to the shop, which we reduced from a then 3 to a 1. I did not think we could go down further, as this was partly a real fear, so I used her session time moving on to other challenges.

Next came fear of the dentist and needles. Melinda was due to go to the dentist. She had to get some dental work completed before she could start a job, because of challenges with her teeth. We brought these fears down from a 10 all the way down to 0. Melinda and I were both smiling by then.

Next, I used kinesiology-based muscle-testing to investigate physical sources of the insomnia. Melinda has had insomnia since coming off drugs. The muscle-test showed a challenge with neurotransmitters (important brain chemicals) on the left and in the middle of her brain. We treated those with a 635 nm cold laser until they muscle-tested in the clear for now. Muscle-testing also revealed a Vitamin B challenge, so I suggested that Melinda ask about possible supplementation. Melinda reported feeling very calm after the laser neurotransmitter treatment and looked very relaxed. We also had fun. For example, we were giggling when the test showed that her name was not Mickey Mouse. After all, just because this is a serious treatment does not mean we cannot have fun!

We finished with EFT homework for neurotransmitter balance and for insomnia. I said that I was not sure if it would do the trick with insomnia, but if nothing else, it can bring calm and balance. We certainly have achieved a remarkable amount in this session, and I look forward to our next.

Depression, Dementors, Harry Potter, Freedom And Light

7:05 pm in Blog, EFT News

Depression can be very depressing. It can totally sap your energy. As a matter of fact, anyone can get depression, even such greats as JK Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter series of books. She spoke about her period of depression on an interview with Oprah Winfrey, when she explained that this is where the idea of the Dementors came from. The Dementors in the series are beings that suck the soul of of the person. And this is pretty much how depression can feel like.

Of course, anyone with depression would love to be cured. But, if you have depression, you may feel that you do not have any drive or motivation. This makes getting treatment sometimes tricky, as you may want to do something about the depression but feel that you just do not have the energy to do so. However, sometimes just finding a good one-to-one practitioner, group help, or medication that can help is all that you need to get enough energy back to start climbing out of that dark pit. Whether you feel you can start to make changes or wish you could but not sure you can, you can get help. One technique that I really like using gets to depression from the root. This is EFT, short for Emotional Freedom Techniques. EFT works by stimulating special points on the acupressure meridians by literally tapping on them with your fingertips, whilst repeating releasing phrases. As well as EFT, I find that clients who do regular exercise and enjoy activities like Yoga, meditation, Reiki, or Tai Chi recover faster. If you are looking for freedom from depression, you may wish to try some of these for yourself, and of course make sure that you also ask your doctor for advice. You have no reason to feel ashamed in any way if your doctor prescribes medication for you. Medication does not have to be forever, and you can always go back to the doctor to come off it when you have released the depression with complementary methods.

You can break free from depression. You can see the light at the end of that tunnel. You can notice changes. In time, you will not only feel totally different, but you will also know that all the emotional causes that had lead you to be depressed have gone for good and that you feel lighter, ready to move forward and create a new life for yourself. After all, just look at how well JK Rowling did. She is truly an inspiration to us all.

EFT Practitioner in Queensland Australia Relieves Grief In One Session

8:57 am in Blog

Michelle Notman, EFT Practitioner in Queensland, Australia, wrote in with the following good news.

My client Belinda was still grieving after 10 years, since her mother passed away with cancer. She came to me for help with this and some other issues. We decided to start with her Mum, because she could not even talk about her without crying. The intensity of grief was definitely a 10 out of 10.

There is an element of grief which is natural and healthy. It is the over-the-top grief that we dealt with, and that was the 10 out of 10. After tapping for an hour using EFT, we brought it down to 0 out of 10, where she can now talk about her Mum and can recollect happy times. No more tears shed.

Belinda is now free from the overwhelming feelings of grief and can move on, with happy memories of her Mum. You can contact Michelle here:

Interview With Holistic Doctor Jon Morley of Knysna

8:42 am in Blog, EFT News

 

 

I am truly honored for this interview with Dr Jon Morley.  So without further ado, here it is…

 

1. Tell us a bit about yourself and your journey leading up to your involvement with alternative/complementary therapies, and especially energy healing modalities. Did the alternative or the medical come first for you?

I qualified from medical school in the early nineties, with a healthy dose of inquiry and sceptism. I had already started exploring the works of Dr Rudolph Steiner, and his ideas of anthroposophy while at medical school. After qualifying, I went abroad to travel and work. Whilst in Australia, working in a busy general practice, I became very disillusioned with the number of people that suffered side effects of medication, poor responses to medication and a growing number of chronic illnesses that weren’t helped with allopathic medication. I started looking outside the box, and began using nutrition to support the healing process. The ball was rolling, things were improving. I then did a course in Permaculture and decided medicine wasn’t for me. I returned to South Africa to live the self-sufficiency dream, and teach Permaculture. I soon felt I could apply these principles of sustainability to the human condition, and started back into the world of healthcare. This time, I was primarily engaged in alternative and complementary therapies, from homeopathy and herbs, to intravenous vitamin and chelation therapies. But i was still not seeing the transformation I was hoping for. I was looking for something higher on the vibrational scale, something that could facilitate real transformation of the emotion, the force that influenced physiological processes. I went to a talk on EFT, and my interest was piqued. However my scientific and logical thinking kept getting in the way. I then became very ill, and was house bound for a few months. In this time I began delving deeper into the nature things unseen: I read and read, and a new window began to open. I was drawn to Reconnective Healing (Dr Eric Pearl), and was amazed at what changes happened in my own and other patient’s lives. I then explored the vast field of Psycho-Neuro-Immunology, and how our thoughts and emotions influenced our physiology. The door was now completely flung open, and there has been no turning back. I started looking more deeply into EFT, using it on patients for any condition. At the same time also started understanding how the energy of my own thoughts and beliefs influenced patients both positively and negatively. I went to several conferences looking at the ‘science’ behind this unseen force, listened to speakers like Rupert Sheldrake (Morphic fields and morphic resonance), Victor Lazslo (The Holographic Universe), Gregg Braden, Bruce Lipton (epigenetics), Lynne McTaggart and got quite involved in her intention experiments, Masaru Emoto( water chrystal photography), Peter Fraser (acupuncturist and developer of the Nutri-energetics device), The Institute of Heartmath- Dr Rolin McCratty, and so many more.

2. And how has the alternative approach changed your life?

My life has become much more enquiring, open, less rigid and confined by so-called scientifically proven parameters. I now see real transformation in patients lives, real healing. I’ve become less concerned with what I eat and more concerned with what’s eating me!
3. Are there any conditions which you find that energy healing is useful for, and if so, what are they?

There has not yet been a clinical condition that hasn’t responded favourably to energy healing. I recommend it to almost everybody, as I see primarily people with longstanding or chronic degenerative conditions. Understanding the flow of this energetic soup we bathe in, provides a wonderful resource for health-coaching, it frees people from the rigid and often threatening beliefs of purest diets/supplements/etc. I feel that emotional clearing is the most powerful healing modality. Where there is no feeling, there is no healing.
4. What energy healing modalities do you personally practice?
EFT, Matrix Re-imprinting, Reconnective healing, Mindfulness.
What others are practiced at your centre?
Kinesiology, Reflexology, Radionics, Homeopathy, Synchronisation Harmonics.

 

5. How can people contact you/use your centre/your services?
044-3822289, or via email jon@watershedhealth.com. We are in Knysna, on the Garden Route.

The Woman Who Could Not Eat Vegetables And Fruit Now Can

6:16 pm in Blog, EFT News

Some people have a nervous system that predisposes them to severe likes and dislikes. For example, some people eat only certain limited foods and cannot eat anything else. “Daniella” would not eat anything other than eggs and bread and butter in her childhood, and by the time she arrived at my office at the age of 30, this had expanded to pasta, meat, some cooked onion and the occasional tomato sauce. But she still could not eat fruit or vegetables, which she dearly wanted to.

I explained that I use Emotional Freedom Techniques and how it works. EFT for short, it is a combination of special acupressure with targeted releasing wording. This has the effect of releasing the energy disruption that causes negative emotions and unwanted behavior. We are then free to feel calm and enjoy the activities that we want to. I asked Daniella to bring with her some foods that she would like to eat if she could. Daniella arrived with a bag full of fruit and vegetables. She had some microwave cooked vegetables, an apple, and a bag of lettuce. We decided between us that we would target the apple to work on in this session, and leave the others for another time.

The next thing we did is check where Daniella was at that stage with her fruit challenge, so we can take it gently step-by-step till she could happily eat an apple. I asked her on a scale of 10-0, where 10 was the worst, to rate her apple challenge. Looking at or licking the apple was a complete 0, and to prove it, she licked the apple and felt nothing. So I asked her where the problem lay. She said it was in biting the apple, which was at an 8 out of 10.

So we tapped on “Even though I have this feeling about biting the apple” and also on the taste and texture. We tapped two rounds, and it remained about the same. Daniella then clarified the feeling by calling it an anxiety about biting the apple. So we used that, and we also introduced the 9-gamut, an EFT brain-balancing exercise, and the number went down to a 5. After another round like this, it was down to a 4 out of ten. This was very good. I explained to Daniella that she must not try to eat the apple unless the number is all the way down to zero. We then tapped on different aspects as they came up, including fear of biting the apple, fear of chewing it, fear of the hard skin, and so on. The numbers went to zero, and Daniella eagerly grabbed the apple. I then instructed her to just bite and spit it out as I tapped on her, which she duly did. Then she took a bite and chewed and swallowed it!

It took less than an hour for Daniella to overcome a lifelong block in her path, and she was absolutely delighted. I gave her EFT instructions in case she wanted to continue the work at home, which she said she was keen on doing and we parted with a happy hug. EFT is truly remarkable. I am so pleased that Daniella is now finally free to enjoy this simple pleasure of life; eating a delicious apple!

EFT For A Child´s Tantrums

7:21 pm in Blog, EFT News

I taught EFT to a client and gave her many taping suggestions to do after our sessions. Knowing that she would be tapping with her young child in the vicinity, I also taught her the children’s version. I am so pleased to say that she has not only been tapping with her little girl, now four years old, but that her daughter as a result has noticeably less tantrums. She even taps for herself.
