Is it a surprise that you always seem to feel better when you focus on the positive things that surround you?  The actual act of focusing on the positive in order to produce more positive emotions has a deep connection to your body and health as well.

If you look for things that could potentially be wrong with your body, you are indeed going to find many.  The possibility of pains, lumps, bumps, rough spots etc..  But if you actually try to take a look at what’s right and great about your body, you will be better for it.    If you have a pain in your left shoulder, you can actually express gratitude that you don’t have the pain in your right shoulder.  Our bodies are miracles and are not made to get sick.  We tend to take for granted the incredible functions going on in our bodies non-stop each and every second of every day.

We will always have a choice on whether to focus on the positive or the negative and there is only one right choice.  Choosing the positive, will also enable us to heal when we need to.

So many times in  life there appears an all to recognizable roadblock in our personal growth and development that truly keeps up from our obtaining our goals.  That roadblock is worry.  Beating this foe can help you to get back on track towards working on your goals.  We all want to experience more happiness and self empowerment in our lives.

Our body’s biochemistry is not able to  distinguish between imagined worries and real stressors in our life. When we worry, our body releases the same stress hormones (cortisol, among others) as it does during truly traumatic events. Keeping the body in a state of heightened stress can lead to a degradation of physical health such as ulcers, high blood pressure, headaches, weight gain, insomnia and more.

There are many ways in which people overcome worry.  Below are a few simple tips that are a great starting point:

- Remain mindful and remember that your thoughts create your reality.  This means living in the present and being gratful for NOW.
- If our thoughts create our reality, why would we not select the best, most positive thoughts to create our lives? Replace those thoughts of worry and fear with positive, happy images.

- “Instead of asking yourself, ‘What else could go wrong?’ ask: ‘How good can it get?’” Everything is perspective.

A nice long breath brings great health and transformation.  It oxygenates the body and nurtures the life force.  Reactions to stress can have a debilitating effect on health. It can lead to high blood pressure, a rapid resting pulse rate and can cause heart rhythm disturbances. Your bodies reactions to stress can weaken the immune system, which then can lead  to a myriad of illnesses. It is important to learn how to handle stress. Mindful breathing and meditation has been shown to help a person manage stressful situations by increasing one’s awareness and by making the mind more receptive to one’s current situation and internal states. It is a method of fully embracing with minimal resistance one’s current life situation and internal states.

That being stated,  living in constant rush and over activity we are insensitive to the most beautiful gift jewel we carry inside of us. A nice long guided breath can improve productivity. A nice breath oxygenates, energizes and cleans our bodies. It clears our mind and helps to balance our emotions. It is preventive medicine. The immeasurable health effects of physical exercising, the pleasure of sex or the silence of meditation are all directly related to our breathing.  Mindful breathing is a way toward self empowerment and conscious evolution.  Self empowerment is important if you want to get on the road to success.

One very important function of our breathing is hugely forgotten: it gives our body a healing massage from the inside. The movement of our diaphragm, which is the big breathing muscle in the center of our body, gives a constant massage to our inner organs in belly and chest. It cleanses them from waste, allows good circulation, oxygen supply and keeps us young and healthy. Just 5 minutes each day can make you feel more refreshed and energetic. Here are some pointers for practicing mindful breathing and sitting:

1. Make a special time and place for “non–doing”.
2. Adopt an alert and relaxed body posture.
3. Look dispassionately at the reactions and habits of your mind.
4. Bring your attention to your breathing by counting silently “1” on inhalation and “2” on exhalation, “3” on inhalation, etc. When you reach number “10”, return to number “1”. (If you go beyond the number 10, then you know your mind has wandered).
5. When your mind wanders, name what it wanders to and come back to the breathing.
6. Once you have practiced focusing on your breathing, you can use sensation, sound or watching thoughts as your point of concentration.

What is EFT?

EFT is a powerful new discovery that combines two well established sciences so you can benefit from both at the same time:

1. Mind Body Medicine
2. Acupuncture (without needles).

In essence, EFT is an emotional version of acupuncture wherein we stimulate certain meridian points by tapping on them with our fingertips. This addresses a new cause for emotional issues (unbalanced energy meridians). Properly done, this frequently reduces the therapeutic process from months or years down to hours or minutes. And, since emotional stress can contribute to pain, disease and physical ailments, we often find that EFT provides astonishing physical relief.

You will need evidence of this for yourself and so I offer the following for your perusal:

• Try it yourself by downloading the EFT Manual for free. It gives you all the basics and allows you to test drive EFT on your own issues (although at a beginner’s level). If you wish to save time and dive right in you can buy our easy to use training Libraries. They will take you from Beginner’s level all the way to Mastery. Interestingly, this process is so easy to use that no previous training is required. Caveat: For people who are emotionally or physically frail, qualified health professionals should be consulted before using ANY health procedure.
• Peruse the many studies and experiments on our EFT Research and Science section.
• Read the exhaustive list of actual cases on this website. These are written by clients, therapists and physicians and allow you to see EFT’s possibilities through the eyes of those that have already been there. Note the wide variety of successes. This is why one of our sayings is, “Try it on everything.” It is as close to a Universal Healing Aid as anything I’ve seen.

More benefits…

• You can make enormous strides by introducing EFT into your emotional therapy process (whether you are a professional or a client). Instead of taking months or years using conventional “talk therapy,” EFT often does the job for you cleanly and thoroughly in one or two sessions … and we sometimes achieve noticeable results in a few brief rounds of EFT. We label these near-instant results as “one minute wonders.”
• Once you have seen how well EFT clears out emotional debris, your next step is to notice how physical ailments start to fade. Headaches, back pains and other discomforts often tend to improve or vanish as emotional issues improve (this is the essence of Mind Body Medicine). Your vision may become clearer and everyday stress may take less toll on your system.
• Accordingly, you can apply it to just about everything. That is one of the most astonishing things about it. You use the same basic procedure for your fear of public speaking as you do for improving your golf score. You can also use it for everything from the common cold to multiple sclerosis (consult your physician, of course). Further, we have had reported successes for nearly every emotional issue on the books…including fear, trauma, depression, grief and schizophrenia. Some consider it the missing link in the pursuit of health and happiness.

Possible EFT limitations

I’m not saying here that EFT is perfect. We don’t get 100%. But it usually works well and the results are sometimes spectacular. Because of it’s unique approach, it can work where nothing else does and, to many, it represents a Doorway to a new Healing High-Rise.

You will find that EFT is usually quite gentle and you can often achieve substantial relief with little or no pain. This is not true for everyone, however. Some people’s issues are so intense that the mere mention of them causes emotional or physical pain. But, given time, even these may be resolved efficiently with EFT.

A small percentage of our population (best estimate is less than 3%) have serious emotional and physical disabilities and thus newcomers to EFT are advised to exercise common sense in this regard. While you can use EFT to generate impressive relief for many people, please consult qualified health practiitioners where appropriate and don’t go where you aren’t qualified.
