EFT has given me a new hope. I had chronic headaches which were there almost 24X7. I had started having pain in neck and shoulder that was crippling. I felt fatigued all the time. I felt stuck in life. I felt helpless.
After I started EFT, I was amazed by the results. My neck and shoulder pain almost disappeared. Now when it comes, I am able to shoo it away. Earlier I was helpless when the pain came and crippled me, now I feel in control.
The frequency and the intensity of the headaches has come down considerably. In general, I feel more energetic -- the constant fatigue that I felt earlier is much much less.
And much more importantly, I have become SOOOOOOOOO much more aware of my feelings (I have a long way to go -- but I am on the path making progress). This has helped a great deal. It has helped in my relationships, very much so with my spouse. Now I am more aware of what is troubling me, and hence am able to verbalise it and communicate it to my husband. Earlier I would just get irritated -- not understanding the feelings and the cause -- which would compound the problems.
I have tried EFT on a variety of issues. My child's fear of swimming went away. Once we went on a farm and I started to itch. I was like "Oh my God, so much itching...what am I going to do". Then, I just did EFT mentally and the itching went away -- literally. Many techniques say that by focusing on the pain, it goes away. I had not experienced it earlier. EFT has taught me how to do it very effectively.
We were to go to the hills. The last time I went, the bus ride was very nauseating for me. This time, the bus rides were supposed to be much longer. During the first leg of the trip, soon after the bus started, I started fearing that nausea would come and sure enough it did. I again did mental EFT and the whole trip went off quite smoothly even though it involved long bus rides (sometimes 10-12 hrs at a time). I was amazed at how much our emotions and fears play a role in manifesting symptoms physically.
Through this technique, I am also learning to see my role in creating a situation, my role in conflicts with others; and thus, I am learning to take responsibility for my actions rather than putting the blame on others...it is hard, but I am making progress.
I am also learning to love and accept myself and forgive myself...again I had to overcome a lot before I could start doing this. In the beginning I was not even aware that I was not doing these things. As I practised more I realised how harsh I am on myself. Slowly, I am learning to be more compassionate with myself. And that's the first step -- for compassion begins with self.
All this has been helping me a lot...much more than I am able to express it here.
I am so glad that I met Jayashree. I am extremely grateful to her for making such a big difference in my life. She is such a sincere and dedicated person. I can open out so easily to her. In her presence, all my emotions just pour out -- the emotions that I didn't even know existed. She can intuitively sense what you are feeling.
The technique truly amazes me. It does sound and seem bizarre. I don't yet really understand fully how it works and a doubt does creep in at times...but the results are there and I can't deny them. So, there it goes. Give it a try.
