Has Anyone Tried “Tapping” In Terms Of Anxiety And Pain Relief??
By ”Tapping”, I mean “EFT” (Emotional Freedom Techniques) - Tapping theory is a combination of ancient Chinese acupressure and modern psychology.
I've read lots of really good things about it (in terms of anxiety, chronic pain, depression, limiting beliefs, dealing with loss, etc.) and have three books on it (including one specifically for chronic pain)!!).
I'm just curious if anyone else has consistently used it (my problem is my lack of consistency), and how it's worked for anyone who has.
I love EFT. It was designed so no certifications are necessary to teach it. Love that! Even a simple person like myself can learn it. Tap Tap Tap...

I know this isn't a usual post, but could I have collective prayers for my friends little girl?! She had bad migraines and fainting spells for a while and just within the last few days her vision started to go and she has almost gone completely blind and only has half the vision in one eye, if even that anymore and the headaches aren't helped by anything now. They rushed her in for emergency testing today and I haven't heard the results yet, but they are thinking she could have a brain tumor… read more

CURVILINEAR TENDONITIS & MULTILEVEL FACET ARTHOPATHY
