Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)

Yeah, it seems to me that anyone that knows anything about the bodies natural energy pathways would look at this and think, oh, okay, that makes sense.

If you know anything about Chakras it would too (which you probably do).

No, I really don't know anything about chalkras. For some reason we never got into that in school. But, I really do believe in the energy pathways of the body. And anything emotional can really affect that, in turn affecting your body in various ways. It's very interesting to me how the mind and emotions affect the body. In fact, yesterday I went over to my parents to watch conference and have a family dinner and my Mom had a SEVERE migraine. I started working on her, and she just started bawling and telling me about a boss of hers that was a complete and vicious jerk to her the other day. She didn't know why she had such a bad migraine, but I knew right away why she was feeling the way she was. Another interesting thing about massage is that sometimes when I start giving people massages, if I start working a certain area that has a lot of tension, people just start crying and/or talking about various problems/issues in their lives, and they don't know why or what brought it on. I think your body really holds onto emotional issues in the body, and one way you can get to them is through manipulating those energy pathways, which is why EFT sounds very helpful.

I'm not sure you need to know about Chakras, as what I know about them is that they basically just name the different area's and define what the particular energy center controls. Diva is what I would consider a chakra expert as she's read a ton on it and has a good memory, so she could shed more light.

Anyway, my point is that I don't think you need to know what or how, just that you know it works.

Teeny, that is awesome that you've overcome your anxiety. That is a huge hurdle to overcome.

I really don't have a lot of knowledge about chakras but I have a couple of books on it. It wouldn't surprise me, if chakras and energy pathways are one in the same. I would love to learn about what you know about the energy pathways. Would you mind teaching me about it sometime?
