Hi Babb [Fwd: EFT]

July 31, 2006

Tom, I read a few of the pages of the EFT site. Very interesting.

I suffer from FMS + vulvodynia and my chiropractor keeps me lined up

as my muscles are too weak to hold things in place. I walk just @

every day,

so building muscles is not the problem I have. I find it hard

to believe that EFT can work , but I'm going to read on as you

suggest to do.

I might be back to ask you a few questions. I am a retired

teacher and just might use this as my second job. LOL

Hi Babb, Dee and all.

Hold on to your hats........

Date:

From:

K. Ockler

To:

About 5 months ago I literaly stumbled across a technique ( EFT) to

completely eliminate negative emotions and reduce / eliminate pain

NO MATTER WHAT

THE CAUSE!

I know, I know, I thought it was bunk when I first read about it but

soon I was reading and practicing it daily and now I use it with my

patients regularly.

Briefly, All negative emotions: pain, hatred, fear, phobias, PTSD (

Post Traumatic Stress Disorders), jealousy, additive cravings, (food

drug cigarettes) OCD,as well as many alergies and substance

sensitivities are stored in the brain in files that are labled or

tagged as fear, run fight flight freeze etc. ( this was vital to our

survival when we were all cavemen.....or cavewomen as the case may be)

By tapping ( no needles required) yes I said taping on some very easily

learned points while thinking about your issue, you drop the level of

anxiety or emotional reaction to ZERO!!! It is as though you send the

events and the negative emotions to files that are labled "bunny rabit"

or "kitty cat."

This is my explaination for what may be alot more complicated when you

look at the thalamus, hippocampus and amygdala which are the parts of

the brain that percieve and process these negative emotions and events.

Once an issue is

completely cleared along with any sub-aspects..it will never bother

you again.

I know what you will say because I said it too!!!!!Too good to be true

right? :-\

No, it is all true and you won't believe it until you try it.

I had been in and out of Cognitive Therapy for 27 years for PTSD to no

avail.

Long wasted hours of droning on and on about my family, parents,

school, etc etc etc..you all know the drill.

SO when I looked up this site that I found on the reading list for a

course on guided imagery I took, again looking for help...I just sat

there and laughed.

You gotta be kidding I thought..just tap on these spots and repeat

phrases or think about events that brought up my PTSD. But hey won't

hurt to try, so I did.

After 2 minutes..I stoped to check how much the thoughts bothered me

and to my surprise.. it was gone...as in GONE.

Try as I might I could not bring the negative reaction to the event

back. I had all of the memory but none of the reaction.

It has never come back!!!!! and it has been 5 months.

I began to use it on related issues and the same reaction..GONE!! ZIP!

ZERO! NADDA!!!

I read the entire manual again to see if I had missed any key points

but it was so easy I hadn't made too many mistakes.

(I had been, at one time of my life, on anti-depressants for 9 years. 5

months ago I stopped taking everything and no relapses, not even a

ripple of anxiety..people ask

me...what I'm taking and where they can get a bottle!!!)

It does not erase the memory, but rather neutralizes the

emotional response in moments, sometimes seconds to that memory or

thought..

It gets better..It is free to download from the internet.

It has been used and taught for over 20 years and it started in

California (I think.)

Many Psychotherapists may know about it but don't use

it because it will only take 1-3 sessions as opposed to 40 or more. (

goodbye paycheck)

AND,,,,you learn to do it yourself so you don't need to keep going and

going and going to therapy.

I thouhgt OK, lets see how it works on pain. I had been having some S.

I. joint pain for a year or so, so I gave it the acid test and very

skeptically started to tap while I thought of the pain. To my wild

surprise, the pain reduced by 80%. Am I crazy here or what???

Next I began using with it on my patients and since I see many

resistant, chronic pain patients I figured I had a great supply to test

on.

I chose a lady who had Fibromyalgia, arthritis, and 3 herniated lumbar

discs with a pain level at a 9/10. ( figured I'd start with an easy one

LOL)

I asked her if there was a major truma or dissapointment or anger in

her life ( she was in her 70s) and she started to get really teary-eyed

so I asked her to write down on paper whatever it was that made her

cry. She wrote down that 45 years ago she moved to the Cleveland area

from her Wisconsin Dary farm where she was raised with 8 bros and

sister, to be married to her Husband. She said she wanted to move back

and missed her family horribly but her husband refused to move back.

She said she has hated him for that ( although she loved him to this

day very much) and carried great anger towards him for that.

I asked her what her pain level was...she said 9.

So we started tapping, and after one round ( 40 seconds) her pain was

down to a 7. Next round..it was a 5 ..next round it was a 2, next round

it was a one.

She got up off the chair and started to bounce around the department

saying Homer( husbands name) I don't have any pain!!!!!!

Next I used it on a friend who wanted desperately to stop smoking by

the time he got married in a few months.

20 minutes later, he handed me his cigarettes, pack and all and told me

I could toss them. He checked back weekly with us to say he had not

started to smoke again and even though he was in disbelief...he was

very happy ( a respiratory therapist no less).

I could go on and on about what I have used it on but here is what i

propose

You go to the website www.emofree.com and download the

manual ( in PDF

file) onto your computer for free.

(You can then take it to Kinkos or Copymax and have it made into a

spiral bound manual if you wish.)

Read at least the chaper that say Basic Recipe and get

familiar with the points ( note: don't bother with the part called 9

gamut, it won't be needed)

ONce you are familiar with the points you can phone me or Sherry and we

will help

you through the first several rounds.

(So all it costs you is the call unless you have free LD on your cell

phone.) :-)

YOu can also look up EFT practitioners in your area..there all all over

the country.

Once you get started you will want to keep going and use it on

everything.

I did buy the video program for people who plan on using it

professionally and they

even tell you to copy the DVDs 100 times and give them away.

So if you want to give me your mailing address, I will put the intro

video and one called 6 days at the VA (where

they do some amazing things with Vietnam Vertrans) in the mail to you.

I know this was a long post but I think its time to let you know there

is significant help with the downside of the disease and maybe even, by

eliminate the reaction to stresses,pain and frustration, actually

create a very healing environment by reducing the cortizol levels and

reduce muscle tone in the body.

Whatever the cause of this disease and the many hydraheads that run

concurrently, be it emotional in it's start or emotional as a reaction

to the disease and all of its side effects, Sherry and I both think

that this single technique can dramatically impact its outcome.

From helping to decrease the symptoms to actually curring the disease.

There cannot help but be an emotional component to it.

Anyway, call us at and we'll talk you through the process

until you can actually do it yourselves.

As always if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to e-mail or

call.

My fingers are now officially bloody stumps

Joyce,

Are you just reading the site or did you download the manual?

Download the manual for free and go right to the chapter called basic

recipe.

Read that first to get familiar with the points. Then you can read the

rest of the manual.

Hi Tom, Yes I downloaded the manuel and started to read the

basic receipe, but it was late, so I will read it again today.

I had something called 'kineseology' last winter and its main

idea was to unclog the lymphatic system. According to the

OT, I was a lymphatic nightmare w/ the FMS/DV.

I will email you if I have any questions.

Thanks, Joyce

Hi Tom and all others interested - I tried this technique a few years

ago at the advice of a counselor. I was having alot of anxiety and

getting overwhelmed trying to deal with difficult communication with my

husband over my condition. I was really having trouble coping. I

tried this tapping technique and I was completely amazed at how much it

helped me reduce my anxiety and kind of let go of the event that had

caused my anxiety and move on a bit. I like to understand how and why

things work and I'm a pretty literal and logical type of person. I

have no idea why this technique worked for me, just that it did. I

wanted to pass on my positive experience with it.

Sally,

That is great news and I am glad it helped.

How it works is theorized to do with the energy meridians that run

throughout the body.

Those meridians actually run through the parts of the brain that are

responsible for recognizing,

processing and storing / filling all the traumatic or not traumatic

events we experience.

You recall the suspected event / situation you then tap on these

accupuncture points in a specific sequence and

it modifies the way your brain stores the info. So instead of being

afraid of spiders or snakes, you see them as

spiders or snakes but don't get the "ZAP" in your nervouse system

because your brain is no longer pulling the

image or memory from the "fear- run- kill file and instead put it in

the kitty cat or bunny rabit files.

However it works ..it really works when done correctly.

Thanks for sharing your experience.

Did you ever think to use it on your vulvar symptoms??????
