I have no knowledge of EFT, although I have heard of it (maybe in the O boards?) but for as long as I can remember, I tap the 'third eye' space when I need to concentrate or right in the center of my chest if I have emotions that need to be reigned in. I think it is a natural response for people (some autistic kids will do something similar when they are overwhelmed).Adrienne Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16658593098911314756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8151259608195581483.post-38584357400309058652009-06-03T15:57:17.974-07:002009-06-03T15:57:17.974-07:00The lightness around you is palpable Adrienne, don...The lightness around you is palpable Adrienne, don't know why I sense this, there is something about your words and expressed unsurety, that falls gently into my mind and there it is, an ease with uncertainty, a softness and a warmth. ever tried EFT? (emotional freedom techniques) I have a a friend, a practitioner, again dont know why I mention this, but it has to do with using the tips of your fingers to tap yes literally tap yourself on various body chakra points while dialoging. i have found it to be an amazingly easy 'healing' experience and also it sets up my mind in a way that is very much like meditation, almost like, 'do tapping and then ease into meditation with vitality and less resistence' and also for me personally i never really 'got' meditation, i mean i did it, as prescribed by my zen master et al, but i never could seem to understand or achieve the thoughtless state. Then with tapping I realized that the thoughts passing were needing to be 'acknowledged' before they would carry less weight, and that probably it would be a long time of the acknowledgment part of the process before i could truly experience the emptiness, but with all things considered, thats not a bad thing, so i rest more comfortably rather than resist my thoughts. just that some attitudes are difficult, so deeply embedded as to be almost subconscious but with the tapping, i have been able to dredge out some surprising often comical and sometimes seriously erroneous things, and yet take them all in stride.<br />by the way, the new design is nice!Katnoreply@blogger.com
