• EFT and the Swine Flu

  Will EFT help with the Swine Flu?  Probably.  In fact, this brief post may represent a profound answer to this problem.  It's drug-free and simple.  However, please recall that I have no medical training and thus I am simply giving you my experience. That being said, I have personally used EFT 5 or 6 times for flu symptoms over the last dozen years and, in each case, my symptoms lasted a few hours rather than a week or two.  Some symptoms vanished in minutes.  I'm not alone here as we have similar reports on our website.  Just enter "flu" into our on site search engine and read the articles. Nothing magic about the EFT process for this problem.  Start with simple approaches like, "Even though I have this [sore throat, headache, lethargic feeling, etc]...."  If that doesn't work, look for recent recent, resentments, guilts, and other negative emotions that may be compromising your immune system.  That's it.  Pretty simple. Should you get vaccinated?  That's a medical question and one that I'm not qualified to answer.  In my experience, though, EFT is likely to be useful whether or not one goes the vaccination route.

• Can you spend 5 minutes to help bring about relief for cancer and other diseases?

  IMPORTANT NOTE:  Although I write this in a free speech effort to promote world healing, I am not a physician and have no medical background whatsoever.  Always seek qualified medical help for serious diseases.  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The headline of a 4/24/09 New York Times article reads....  In Long Drive to Cure Cancer, Advances Have Been Elusive This well written article by Gina Kolata, laments how the death rate from cancer has improved by only 5% from 1950 to 2005 while over $100 billion was spent in this near-futile effort.  Similar things could be said about other serious diseases for which there are apparently no cures (at least not via the medical approach).  I speak here of Multiple Sclerosis, Scleroderma, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Irritable Bowel Syndrome and a long, long, long list of other ailments. Could it be that the medical researchers are looking in the wrong place for cures and that's why they are coming up empty handed?  They look where they are taught by the medical schools, of course.  They look at cells and DNA and intricate body chemistry.  They look at blood and body parts and so on.  They act as if the causes involve body chemistry, although they admit to being baffled by the true causes of a long list of diseases. Here in the EFT Community we see frequent jaw-dropping evidence that a major cause for serious diseases involves unresolved emotional issues. Many medical researchers don't see that but we have known it here at EFT for a decade. We find with reasonable regularity that people who harbor long term fears, guilt, anger and the like usually improve physically after we EFT the emotional issues away. This link between emotions and diseases is also becoming clear in the scientific realm.  The ACE study done by Kaiser points to compelling evidence in this regard.  Here is a brief synopsis of the larger ACE study. The Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Study is a major research study that compares current adult health status to childhood experiences decades earlier. With the cooperation of 17,421 adult Health Plan members ... the ACE Study reveals a powerful relation between our emotional experiences as children and our adult emotional health, physical health, and major causes of mortality in the United States. So what does this mean to the EFT Community?  How can we help sail the EFT ship into the medical harbor?  Easy!  Write Gina Kolata, the author of the New York Times article.  She is a science writer and is no doubt looking for useful stories.  Give her loads of input.  If she only gets one email from us, it probably won't mean much.  But if she gets multitudes, we will be hard to ignore.  One of our biggest assets is our numbers.  Together we have much more influence than we think.  If this effort with Gina Kolata doesn't get her attention, then so be it.  However, this effort WILL get the attention of another media writer on another day.  Together we can eventually get some of the world's largest publications to feature EFT. To write Gina: 1. Go to http://www.nytimes.com/gst/emailus.html and start your message with Dear Gina Kolata.  2.  Create an intro regarding your experiences with EFT and thenCopy and Paste this message below your intro. 3.  Press the "Click to Send Message" button. That's it.  Five minutes on your part may help bring healing to thousands or millions. Love, Gary Posted Apr 24 2009, 03:37 PM by Gary with 7 comment(s)

• "I love ya, man!" - a touching EFT story

  From the story:  "I puddled up inside. Suddenly, nothing else mattered. There it was ... the connection we all strive for but don't know how to voice.  A spiritual experience from the most unlikely of places. What reward could possibly transcend that? I choked back a tear and he could see that he moved me. Actually, we moved each other.  There was a silence between us that allowed the moment to engrave itself on our beings." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  This is a story about Bob (a Vietnam Vet) and me.  It's a touching story, a sort of "guy thing" that transcends normal expectations.  It's about an unusual affection between two men, despite our conditioning to be tough and not show emotions.  It's about the love and respect that can only come about when we "connect" in that special way ... a spiritual way. You can meet Bob on film.  He is one of the vets featured on our 20 minute PTSD video. When I first met him he had daily suicide thoughts and suffered from paranoia.  Most nights he would wake up from his nightmares and swing his fists.  His sheets were wet from sweat every night.  Such is the life of all too many soldiers. We had a rocky beginning.  I invited Bob and several other vets to a 5 day "EFT for War Veterans" gathering in San Francisco.  Despite the fact that all expenses were paid, Bob didn't want to come.  He said, "This whole thing is Bull ***!"  I've tried them all.  I've been in and out of psych wards much of my life and I will just be wasting my time.  Besides, I'm afraid of flying and I'm not sitting in a f-----g airplane across the country from Pennsylvania to California." He also said, "I have some memories behind my personal wall and nobody is getting to them." So I asked Miguel Vazquez, a Vietnam Vet who I personally helped with his PTSD, to call Bob and preach the EFT Faith.  It worked and Bob reluctantly got on that airplane.  Unbeknownst to him, however, I did several rounds of EFT surrogately for his fear of flying and, of course, he had no problem with the flight.  But that's another story. Even though we had 5 EFT experts present in San Francisco, I chose to take Bob under my wing for personal attention.  Despite his vocal abuses about the stupidity of this event, I saw the tenderness underneath.  It's there with most vets.  It's the little boy inside crying out for attention ... for acknowledgement ... for love ... all the while taking shots at anyone who tries to "get close."  In a way, I think we all do this, including me.  I saw him as a challenge and as a brother.  We somehow had something in common.  There was something in Bob that I recognized in me. So we started slowly.  We worked on a height phobia and that went poof in 30 minutes.  Then we worked on some "small war memories" and those subsided as well.  After 2 days, he slept the night through.  No nightmares. No sweats. No swinging fists. Now I had his attention.  He was relaxed and smiled a lot.  No longer was he critical of this event or EFT.  He didn't understand it, of course, but the results were undeniable.  He softened and the first trickle of our friendship began .  That's how it is with vets.  There are rivers of contained love that can flood souls once the dam has been broken. Then we worked on those "memories behind his personal wall."  Despite some difficult moments during the sessions, EFT brought him to peace and those memories have not bothered him since (his paranoia and suicide thoughts have vanished as well).  Then he turned to me with gratitude written all over his face and gave me the words that echo in my being to this day.  He said... "I love ya, man!" I puddled up inside.  Suddenly, nothing else mattered.  There it was ...  the connection we all strive for but don't know how to voice.  A spiritual experience from the most unlikely of places.  What reward could possibly transcend that?  I choked back a tear and he could see that he moved me.  Actually, we moved each other.  There was a silence between us that allowed the moment to engrave itself on our beings. Bob and I remain friends to this day and we call each other from time to time to catch up.  Sometimes, amidst the pressures of this growing EFT movement, I lose sight of the human reason I am here.  But all I need to do is remember the many "Bob experiences" that I have collected over the years and I am right back on purpose. I Love ya, Gary PS:  Bob welcomes your phone calls.  570-489 1414   Posted Apr 12 2009, 04:49 PM by Gary with 42 comment(s)

• EFT Gratitude Poem

  Today I found myself in "EFT Gratitude Mode" and this poem was the result.  It is all about you so I hope you like it.  You are changing the world are are a treasure to me.  Just keep on being you.     ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~   I sit here in awe, and the awe's about you, A wellspring of friends, with gratitude due.   Your beauty astounds, as healing you spread, Bringing peace and health, with skills thoroughbred.   From one minute wonders, to difficult cases, With love and persistence, you light up those faces.   For how many hearts, have you lightened the load? And how many pains have you sent down the road?   To our clients and friends, we have given a gift, And in the process, our own souls we did lift.   For what better reward, could anyone claim, Than to touch another, with a spiritual aim.   You are Touching the World, with your presence here, And you tug at my heart, as I hold you so dear.   Love, Gary Posted Apr 12 2009, 03:18 PM by Gary with 66 comment(s)
