West Nile Virus cured in 24 hours!

I have been afflicted with West Nile Virus 3 times now. Not fun. The first time was on my birthday, in February. I spent 3 days in a hotel room bed, in excruciating pain. I’ve never had meningitis, but I’m pretty sure I have an idea of what it feels like. In fact, in elderly people, WNV can actually develop into encephalitis or meningitis, so they’re definitely related.

I was out of town the first time, so I didn’t have access to my usual “bag of tricks” at home, nor could I easily contact anyone in the States to help me remotely. Not good. Fortunately someone told me about a wonderful homeopath, Jane Sloan (in Vilcabamba). After a couple of tries she was able to bring the pain to a halt and I was back to normal in several hours…but that was after 3 days of suffering! I didn’t know what I had at that point, but I knew I wanted to avoid it at all costs.

Fast forward to July and it shows up again…same symptoms: migraine-type headache, sensitivity to light, body achiness, and massive pain all up and down my spine. It took me out of commission for a couple of days, but as I was home this time, I was able to use MMS on it this time. It definitely had a shorter duration.

However, a few days later it came up AGAIN, this time much more severe. It was miserable, waking me up about every hour or less with so much pain…then I hit it with everything I had…a naturopath friend treated me remotely with radionics, I did the MMS 6 & 6 protocol, every time I woke up I tapped (EFT), and I used the Deep Relief oil (Young Living Essential Oils) for the pain, topped with 50% DMSO spray, and I also sprayed Thieves (Young Living Essential Oils) oil on the bottom of my feet. Within about 5 hours I was out of bed, a little weak, with no severe head or spine pain, a touch of achiness, and no light sensitivity. I resumed my regular work schedule (didn’t take it easy at all), and within 2 more hours I had no symptoms. By the end of the day, when someone who is sick would typically relapse, I felt like nothing had every happened!

To be rid of West Nile Virus is 24 hours is nothing short of a miracle. Hopefully it will darken my doorstep no more.

Life Changing Trauma – EFT and Japan

Life is interesting. One minute you’re going along, minding your own business, and BAM…everything changes. That’s what happened a few days ago for millions of people in Japan…rippling worldwide. Tragic. Or rather a series of tragedies… powerful earthquake, catastrophic tsunami, several volcanic eruptions, and nuclear plant meltdowns. Aside from the obvious damage to people and things, there will also be long-term damage to people directly and indirectly affected by this series of events.

The child who was orphaned, the old woman who watched her husband die as he was crushed by debris, the young man who watched his village get washed out to sea as he was spared on higher ground…these are images that will not easily be erased from the minds of hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of people who were directly affected. Sometimes just as bad is the imaginations of those indirectly affected…those people wondering what happened to their loved ones.

How do we handle life changing trauma? EFT is wonderfully efficient at eradicating the negative effects of life changing trauma. You won’t remove the memory, but you can use EFT to change your response to the memory. This is a powerful tool that many veterans have used to counter their post traumatic stress disorder from combat. People who have been plagued with severe trauma for decades have, in minutes, put an end to debilitating recurring nightmares and flashbacks. Talk about life changing!

You, too, can be free from debilitating trauma…catastrophic or not. You don’t have to live with it one more day. Learn EFT and be free.

If you, or someone you know, is dealing with life changing trauma, please mention EFT to them. I have helped hundreds of people learn EFT. I look forward to helping you, too. cg@livingeft.com or Skype name “livingEFT”. www.livingeft.com #EFT #livingeft

EFT for Pain Management (or elimination)

I’ve done quite a bit of work in the past with EFT and pain management. Many of you may remember when I cut off the end of my thumb and stopped the bleeding with EFT. I also experienced no pain at all. Discomfort, yes. Awareness, yes…but no pain.

I have also worked with cancer patients during painful treatments at Quantum Health Management. They all experienced much less pain than without EFT.

Today’s tidbit is about my mother-in-law. She had emergency gall bladder surgery at the end of December, and her recovery had its challenges. She had never been open to EFT in the past, so she wasn’t using it before or after the surgery. She has a very high pain tolerance anyway. However, when it came time to get her drain removed two weeks into recovery, things changed.

Removing the tube cause her IMMENSE pain. So much pain that the prescription pain pills from her doctor didn’t touch it. Apparently a little canal had been created by the drain, and bile was leaking into the surrounding area. She was told that until the open area closed up (about 24 hours), she could experience pain…and she did!

Since she took a pain pill in the afternoon just before getting the drain removed, she was not allowed another one until midnight. At about 6pm she was laying in bed crying. I’ve never seen my mother-in-law cry before. This meant she was in EXTREME pain. She said it was more painful than childbirth, and she would know…she gave birth 4 times.

I asked her if I could tap on her face and collarbone area and she agreed. I set Brian to tapping on her left “karate chop” point while I tapped on her face and collarbone points. She was already VERY focused on the issue at hand, so there was no need to do a set-up or reminder phrase. Within two rounds she was VISIBLY relaxing, and within a few more, she was resting peacefully.

I taught my father-in-law where to tap on her should she have more pain, and he tapped on her for a few minutes. However, she didn’t have anymore “episodes,” required no more tapping for pain, and didn’t take her pill at midnight either.

I am so grateful to everyone involved in connecting me to EFT. What a gift!

How to make 2011 the best year yet

I love the new year. It always seems like a fresh start to me, whether real or imagined. I always start the year off right…everything cleaned up and organized, new clothes, maybe a new hairstyle, and the requisite goals sheet. Even if I don’t look at my goals again that year, there is just something about writing them down that is invigorating and motivating.

This year I have many goals, and one of them is to “erase” more “writing on my wall” as we say in EFT. Those “little voices” from other people in my life (parents, siblings, teachers, friends, pastors, etc.) who left lasting impressions on my psyche. Those “little voices” that chime in every time I make a decision or have a discussion (or argument, as the case may be). Every time I speak to my spouse, my children, and my friends. Those “little voices” that have such a profound impact on my life, whether I know it or not.

I have erased, probably, thousands of these “little voices” and their impact (writing on my wall) already, but there must be thousands more. I don’t know if I will ever erase them all, but I’m going to try. I’m committing to using EFT at least twice per week, every week, this year. Imagine the impact that will have after a year! That realization alone makes me want to use it even more. It’s really a fantastic tool to have in your “home first aid” kit. I have used It, personally, to alleviate pain, fear, trauma, stop bleeding, increase sports performance, lose weight, and more.

The past 3 years have been challenging for the economy in the U.S., and it sure looks like this year is going to continue down the same path. Instead of curling up into a ball and retreating, you can beat back depression and anxiety with EFT. You can actually make yourself stronger, and happier, in these difficult times. You can strengthen your marriage, improve your relationship with your kids, and so much more.

I can teach EFT to you in ONE SESSION, and from then on it will be a FREE tool that you can use for the rest of your life. Teach it to your spouse, your kids, your friends!

If you don’t know EFT (yet), I would love to teach you! Stop by my website at www.livingeft.com and learn more. I offer sessions via Skype all over the world. All you need is an Internet connection and a webcam to use Skype for free.

Also, for those who are interested in even more training, try this website… www.healingeft.com. When you become a member, you will have access to the entire (huge) library of Gary Craig’s (the developer of EFT) training videos. You can’t beat the price, either!

Here’s to 2011…and all that it brings!

Finger sucking

Using EFT with kids is absolutely amazing. Most kids are very open to EFT, and learn how to use it quickly. They are also great about encouraging others, including adults, to use it too. What a fabulous tool to have at one’s disposal at a young age. The kids using EFT now will not be baggage-laiden adults like their parents probably are…or were (if they use EFT).

This fantastic example is actually provided by my tapping partner, Jeri Trimmer. Jeri is a wonderful EFT practitioner who has helped many, many people with a variety of issues. With this particular client, a 10-year-old girl, she had the pleasure of experiencing a “One Minute Wonder” (where one round of tapping accomplishes the results.)

This girl had a severe finger sucking problem. She sucked two fingers a lot during the day, and always at night. Her parents tried everything they could think of, and everything their pediatrician recommended, but nothing broke her habit…until EFT. With one round of tapping about the finger sucking, she completely lost her desire to suck her fingers. It has been a couple of years now, and the finger sucking never returned…not even for one day. Everyone commented on the transformation, because she had previously always been seen with two fingers in her mouth. The skin on those two fingers completed peeled off and renewed itself, and she has no signs of her previous habit.

This girl learned EFT quickly after that, and uses it herself. Too bad her parents have chalked this success up to “coincidence” and did not learn EFT themselves (they could both really use it!) Maybe they will follow their daughter’s lead some day.
