EFT Saves the Day

May 27th, 2010

Greetings on this fine Thursday morning!!

I did NOT start out this morning well and I’d like to share with you how I pulled myself out of the place I was in and slapped a smile back on my face.

Firstly I need to tell you that I’ve been very interested in energy healing for quite some time now.  I have a couple of very awesome books on the body’s energy systems and I’ve been intending for over a year now to read into them more and become sort of a professional, amature energy healer.  Or in other words, practice on and heal my family and friends and anyone else in my community who would seek me, while not attending official classes or schooling.

Personally, I believe I am capable of learning anything.  I don’t need to pay the money to sit in the classroom to be preached at by a teacher.  I thrive when I learn as I do… and so that’s what I’ve been doing this week.

I started doing EFT every morning on Monday (5-24-2010) I think.  I should’ve wrote it down just so I have a record, and I’ll likely start today given my results thus far.  I came across this video on youtube by Brad Yates called Tap O’ the Morning.  It’s an EFT tapping sequence for starting your day right and being happy.

I’ve done EFT before with some noticeable results.  I relieved a massive headache with it once which surprised the heck out of me.  I also was able to get some relief from a kidney infection I was suffering from by tapping once.  It’s surprising, even to me, that I haven’t made this a more regular part of my life given that I find it actually works.  The beginning of this week was when I figured, there’s no time like the present, and so I started.

So, back to this morning.

Mike got called out at 5:30 this morning.  After he left, I was wide awake so I turned on the tv and thought I’d catch the weather report before I ventured forth.  Instead of weather, I caught the end of a news report, WITH pictures AND video of what they’re calling “The worst animal cruelty case to ever come out of Ohio.”

Being the incredibly sensitive person that I am, this means that at 5:30 this morning, I started my day horror struck, nauseated, and with tears of terror streaming down my face.  I sat there wondering how someone could be so savage and cruel to any living creature and why I had to turn on the tv and how on earth I was going to go about my day with these images now lodged in my mind.

That was when the idea struck me.  EFT.  I know the sequence.  Karate chop point with a 3x repeated affirmation, then the inner eyebrow, outer eyebrow, under eye, under nose, chin under bottom lip, collar bones (K-27), under arm/bra strap area, crown of head.  And so I did it, sitting there bawling, in such turmoil that I could actually feel physical pain in my chest for these animals, I did 5 or 6 rounds of EFT for the savagery that I had just seen.

When I’d finished the last round, I sat there rather shocked at the calm that I felt.  The tears had not only stopped but that gut wrenching, awful feeling was gone.  I was still deeply saddened by what I’d seen and heard, but EFT really IS the “Emotional Freedom Technique” because I felt as though the negative emotion had been just sucked right out of me.

So I’m off to have a wonderful Full Moon Thursday.  I feel so much lighter.  I may do another round or two after everyone leaves and the house is emptied for the day.  I’m really just totally astounded.  I’m so thankful that I was able to release those feelings.  I’m a firm believer in everything happening for a reason, always…. sort of makes me wonder if this morning was the reason for my sudden interest in EFT this week because Goddess knows I’d have had one hell of a day if I’d have held onto all that garbage and it was any other week.

My affirmation for today~ I choose to release unwanted emotions and embrace the love.

Walking Tall

April 26th, 2010

Good Monday morning to you!

Here’s a free MP3 to start your week! This is my first time hearing this song and I must say… AWESOME!
Walk Tall by Ziggy Marley (feat. Paul Simon)

Monday morning is always a little celebration for me.  The kids go back to school.  Mike goes back to work.  A calm hush falls over the house.  Even the dogs seem to sleep quietly in their spots just a little more and the cats don’t have a lot to say about anything.  _sigh_ Monday.

I woke up feeling good today.  It may be simply because it’s Monday!  Whatever the reason, I’m happy to be happy again.  It’s been a long weekend of funk.

It can be so hard to pull yourself out of a yucky mood.  Sometimes I feel down and withdrawn and sort of depressed for seemingly no reason at all.

I try to get back up and find something good to focus on, but sometimes I just can’t climb out of the hole.  That’s about how I’ve felt since Funky Friday last week.  The best I could do was to keep to myself and just not be a bitch to anyone.  LOL

I DID get all my veggies transplanted yesterday and spending time in the greenhouse DOES make me feel good.  It may not wipe a gray day clear, but there’s a tranquility to it that makes my heart smile.  Plus there’s the added bonus of it being 50 and partly cloudy outside, but an easy 85 and balmy in the greenhouse.  It’s like being in a sauna.  And I’ve been wanting a sauna for years now.  I just may start actively using my greenhouse as a sauna. _giggles_ I love when great ideas pop.

I spent most of the weekend with my favorite tunes in my ears.  I even told the boys, “I’m not your mother today, go ask your father….”  Thank Goddess Mike understands.

Today I am grateful…

that today is Monday!
that I feel happy.
for my husbands support, even if he doesn’t understand.
for my superior health and wellness.
for my freedom to create.
for my friends.
for the light at the end of the tunnel.
for the rain.
for my garden.

okay, there are just too many more to continue.  I could be here all day!  Have a blessed Monday :)

Mother Earth Day 2010

April 22nd, 2010

Happy happy happy happy happy Mother’s Day my dearest Mother Earth!

Earth day is sort of a special day for me.  I mean, I know, it’s Earth day, but the path I’m on began Earth day 2008.

The first thing I ever did to consciously conserve was back on Earth Day in 2008 when, as suggested on tv, I unplugged everything in my home that wasn’t in use.  This included lamps, cable boxes, toaster, toaster oven, can opener, tv in the family room and basement, etc. I did it for one month on a pretty regular basis.  Sometimes I’d forget, but for the most part, I walked around unplugging things all the time.

I got my electric bill the next month and it had gone down $40!  That’s freaking incredible!  After that, I unplugged even the things I hadn’t before.  I put the microwave, desktop computer, modems, and all televisions on power strips so you needed to flip the power switch before using and I started making a turn through the house every night on my way to bed to check all outlets when I locked the doors.

The next month, an additional $15 was missing from my bill.  I was sold.  Conserving energy was not only good for my environment, but it was also saving me an immediate $55 PER MONTH!

I even had an additional physical benefit that I can’t prove, but that I’m sure of none the less.  I’ve had hormonal issues for years.  Since I had Michael when I was 20 actually.  My menstrual cycle would go anywhere from 24 days to 40 days instead of an average of 28 as it should be.  I panicked multiple times thinking we were pregnant again.  Not fun.

I started unplugging everything in my home, and 3 months later my menstruation normalized and has been perfectly balanced since.  I made no connection until one year later, ON EARTH DAY 2009 when I was talking with someone about unplugging and suddenly made the connection in my head.  I grabbed a calendar and counted backwards and could SEE that on the 3rd month after Earth Day, I was at 28 days and had remained consistent (after TEN YEARS of consistent inconsistency!).

Curious about the possible connection I looked it up and was ASTOUNDED at what I found.  There is SUCH a connection!  Do your own search.  Electricity creates what is called an electromagnetic field, or EMF.  Run a search on your favorite search engine for EMF hormone connection.

And this isn’t just a feminine issue guys!  Men have hormones too!  Menstruation involves progesterone, estrogen, testosterone, and THEN some.  Men have all these hormones too!  We, as watery humans are walking talking hormones.  Electromagnetic fields affect EVERYONE!  Even animals.

I’m off to the store to see a man about a horse…. no wait… to see about getting a lilac tree :)  They are my favorite and I promised the boys that we would plant something large and permanent for our Mother Earth today.  I hope you’re doing something for Her today too.  Every tree and every bottle and every piece of trash counts.  Honor your life, our planet, our Universe, our future generations and make a change for the better and start today!
