Have you heard of EFT? Emotional Freedom Techniques<\/strong>. This is a non-invasive form of self-therapy to activate pressure points (chi or qi points in Asian medicine<\/em>) that hold negative emotional build-up and disrupt your body’s natural energy flow. The theory is that if you can release these negative emotions or scars from previous times, you will be in better health, and manage phobias better too.
\nWhy believe me? Don’t. Research it yourself and make your own decision. It is the same principle as accu-pressure. Here is the website: http:\/\/www.emofree.com<\/a>
\nYou can also find videos on Youtube if you search ‘EFT’.<\/span><\/p>\n

What do I think?\u00a0 I know a few people who are trying this and they say it is very helpful for insomnia and post-traumatic stress disorder. I used it to relieve back pain and laziness. I used it on a couple of my clients too. One person felt better about her back pain. Another reduced her anxiety over her upcoming public speaking at work. She went from an 8\/10 fear to a 5\/10 in 2 minutes.<\/p>\n

I am interested in EFT, although I am not sure I believe all the testimonials. Some people claim to rid themselves of disease, help babies who are teething, and even unclog toilets! (Yuck<\/em>!)
\nFor now I am going to continue to explore it, research it, and use it on myself and clients. I like market research. Then I may decide to get officially certified in Advanced EFT techniques. Check out their website for a free video, manual, newsletter, etc. www.emofree.com<\/a>.
\nBy the way I am not affiliated with them and receive no kickbacks. I just think this could be really useful for public speaking and presentations, and overall improvement in our emotional health.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
