Emotional Freedom Techniques
Changing your life
Our body stores emotion, pain, disappointment, frustration, anger and more. This experience can be stored in different areas of the body as well as organs and glands. Emotional Freedom Technique is a system of tapping points on the body that correspond to areas of the body that people typically store energy. I have seen some interesting results and felt many my self as I tap the body and let go of attachment to failure, fear, tension, stress and other feelings that I have carried with me much of my life.
People carry around a lot more charged feelings than they imagine, it is happening so often that it becomes an ingrained part of their nature to worry about things that will possibly never happen. Some people carry around resentment from childhood and even though they tell themselves that they want to let go, minutes later they may be right back into the feeling that they say they don´t prefer.
People become so accustomed to pain and rejection that it can take a friend or teacher to "wake" them up to realized that it is OK to start feeling something different instead of the constant repetitive negative statements that many people feel everyday. People believe that constant negative talk is common and is just somehow "a part of life", until it is realized that other options are available.
As people learn to love and appreciate themselves it is possible that letting go of "dark clouds" that surround everyday habits and begin to be guided by positive thoughts, actions, feelings and ideas that are surfacing as soon as they get rid of the emotions that are holding them down. It can be like the weight of the world being lifted off of their shoulders.
What would it be like to feel good more often? How much time is spent everyday feeling "out of balance", either from something we ate, drank or thought? There is always the possibility that change is eminent. All it takes is that moment to seize the day and start changing some of the things that we say to ourselves everyday and begin to transform them with ideas of happiness, fulfillment and appreciation for ourselves and others.
Get out a pad of paper or recorder and get a record of the thoughts and feelings that are noticed through out the day. Are these thoughts and feelings one that make us feel good or it is criticism of ourselves and others? Do you feel strong today or do you feel like life is crushing you? All of this is subject to change. Once you have found an idea that needs to be changed the process begins to unfold and within 30 minutes of so a new outlook is generating that can change your life.
The Positive Living Center focuses on positive ways that people can change behaviors and habits without the use of chemicals to numb the pain whether it is physical or emotional.
