Re: EFT and Jehovah's Witnesses

[Guest guest]

Hi !

I can't answer specifically for Witnesses. Working with people who have

strong religious convictions, I often change the setup phrases to something

that resonates with their belief.

For example, one might be:

" Even though I am SO VERY SCARED AND PANICKED, I ask my body to accept the

Peace of Jehovah. "

" Even though I am so very scared and feel alone, I choose to know that

Jehovah is with me, loving me, and bringing me peace no matter what. "

" Even though I feel so anxious and don't think I am good enough, I choose to

trust that Jehovah accepts and loves me. "

As others have mentioned, it is necessary when working with minor children

to get the permission of parents. I'll add asking the child whether they

would like to work together.

When used in this way, EFT can be a moving prayer, one that acknowledges the

fear and releases the energy to the specifically named Higher Power.

Hope this helps,

Rick

Hi ,

Jehovah's Witnesses are very strict when it comes to having anything

spiritual other than Jehovah's power and love enter them in anyway.

So of course " healing " in any term woulde be out of the question.

(along with any form of hypnosis) But I do know that in Japan there

are witnesses that go to acupuncture or acupressure to relieve

physical symptoms. She may be accepting of it if you explain that

this is a form of accupressure for emotions. (not soul)

And as Rick suggested, use phrases that would suggest that she is

accepting emotional support from Jehovah.

Hope this helps.

granddaughter who is suffering with anxiety and panic attacks.

However her family are Jehovah's Witnesses and she was concerned

that she may not even want to consider EFT. I personally do not

know much about JW's but do have some experience of them turning

down therapies such as Reiki and spiritual healing.

if not what part of JW's beliefs would conflict with EFT.
