Blooming Where I'm Planted!

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.
