I have used EFT many times and often teach it as a tool in my classes and programs. It is such a powerful healing tool and I wanted to share it with you. This article was written by EFT Practitioner Sarah Holland. I hope you enjoy it! Hugs, Sue
EFT is an easy technique to learn and use, for successful stress reduction and emotional well-being. Based on the same theories as Chinese acupuncture, it is stunningly effective for dissolving negative emotions including anxiety, worry, fear and anger. EFT stands for Emotional Freedom Techniques, and the principle behind it is simple:
The cause of ALL negative emotions is a disruption in the body’s energy system.
EFT utilises the meridian system which has been used in acupuncture for thousands of years. This modern development uses no needles, but instead a simple tapping technique on specific points on the face, upper body and hands while focussing on the emotional issue you want to work on and repeating words and phrases to help the process. The tapping on these special points balances the energy disruptions, releases negative emotions, and helps us back into a state of balance where we approach challenges with a rational and logical outlook. Unnecessary negative emotion which is unhealthy and damaging is resolved with EFT and replaced with more healthy emotions that benefit our physical and emotional well-being. The tapping can seem a little crazy at first, but once you get started you will soon understand how quickly it can reduce, and usually eliminate, intense negative emotions.
So how can EFT help with fertility issues? Anyone who has been trying for a baby for some time knows all about the rollercoaster of emotions involved. Common emotions include jealousy, anxiety, panic, fear, worry and guilt. And although you know that stress can further block your attempts at conception, it’s so difficult to switch off these emotions, especially when you get a negative pregnancy test, or your period shows up.
EFT is also a highly effective technique at removing psychological blocks to conception. Past traumas, memories, beliefs about pregnancy, birth and parenthood, can all affect how you truly feel about having a baby. You may feel ready to be a parent, but are there any hidden blocks that are stopping you from conceiving? EFT helps you identify and resolve these blocks, and move you towards having your baby.
Fertility treatment such as IVF can increase your stress levels even further, as so much hope and expectation is built up around ‘Test Day’. You wouldn’t choose to put yourself through so much stress when you are trying for a baby, but when faced with the challenge of fertility issues it seems inevitable. Or is it?
Many women all over the world are using EFT to improve their chances of conception. It’s a popular technique because, unlike other methods, it can be used both in a therapy session and as a self-help technique, it often works very quickly which also makes it low cost, and the results can be outstanding. Here’s what some women said about their use of EFT for fertility issues. (They had all been trying for a baby for a number of years, and became pregnant soon after).
"It was hard to believe how quickly EFT worked for me. I had trouble dealing day to day with issues surrounding my infertility problems. Just thinking about them brought up so much anger and frustration and jealousy towards other women who were pregnant or had babies. After using EFT I felt all the anger, frustration and jealousy lift. I'm definitely much more relaxed now and people have even commented that I seem happier."
- SM (now a mother to 2 children)
"I first used EFT on the day I got a negative pregnancy test after IVF and I could barely talk I was crying so much. EFT helped me to relate what the emotions were and enabled me to hope for the best at the next attempt."
- J (now a mother)
"I am a very anxious person and was aware that stress and anxiety can have an effect of fertility. EFT helped me to identify my feelings of panic and fear at not being able to conceive naturally and also addressed my feelings of envy for friends who conceived easily. After using EFT I was surprised by the change in my outlook. I am now feeling far more positive about the journey I am on in order to have family of my own and hoping for a blue line soon!"
- AL (now a mother)
