What is EFT?

EFT is short for Emotional Freedom Techniques which is a form of psychological acupressure that used light tapping instead of needles to stimulate traditional Chinese acupuncture points. The tapping on the designated points on the face and body is combined with verbalizing the identified problem followed by a general affirmation phase. Combining these ingredients of the EFT technique balances the energy system and appears to relieve psychological stress and physiological pain. Restoring the balance of the energy system allows the body and mind to resume their natural healing abilities. EFT is safe, easy to apply, and is non-invasive.

EFT has been clinically proven effective (over 80%) for:

* Stress
* Depression
* Anxiety
* Fears
* Phobias
* Trauma
* Abuse
* Grief
* Addictive Cravings
* and hundreds of physical symptoms.

It is the missing piece to the healing puzzle.

* Often works where nothing else will.
* Usually rapid, long lasting and gentle.
* No drugs or equipment involved.

"At least 85 percent of medical problems are physical manifestations of how stress, anxiety, or past traumas are held in and processed by the body", says Los Angeles physician Eric Robins, MD. "EFT is the best technique for addressing these issues and clearing them out of the body."

This site is an extension of my personal quest for healing and enlightenment. I am not an expert in every area, however, I have done my fair share of research and trial and error using various techniques, modalities and theories regarding self healing, holistic healing, higher consciousness and metaphysics.

Check back often for new links to therapies, books, products and testimonials pertaining to Holistic & Alternative Therapies that I have researched and/or tried.

Quote of the Week

Because we are not powerless biochemical machines, popping

a pill every time we are mentally or physically out of tune is not

the answer. Drugs and surgery are powerful tools when they are

not overused, but the notion of simple drug fixes is fundamentally

flawed. Every time a drug is introduced into the body to correct

function A, it inevitably throws off function B, C, or D. It is not

gene-directed hormones and neurotransmitters that control our

bodies and our minds; our beliefs control our bodies, our minds,

and thus our lives . . .

- Bruce Lipton, Ph.D.

Spring is here... finally! And I am getting ready for the arrival of my baby boy. Pregnancy is exciting and intense, causing you to look deep within yourself to make sure your on the right track for the well-being of your child.

Up until the news of my pregnancy, I thought I was on a pretty good path. After all, self improvement, spirituality and holistic living... isn't that what we are suppose to do? Interesting how when I look at the past, present and potential future I see things with a different perspective. Not that all of the life style choices I was focused on are bad or wrong, but maybe not as spiritual as I thought?

It seems to me, being the best me is still important, but not just so that I can like myself more... Now it mean I can be the best mom I can so that another being has a chance to grow and flourish in a way that most pure little people never get the opportunity to.

Will I be able to put aside my fears and doubts, transend my old patterns and allow my unconditional loving nature to inspire my little boy to be his true potential. I'm sure it will at times be challenging, but I want nothing more then to experience this journey.

Thank you for stopping by, many blessings and much love!
