I am often reminded of the story about the Psychologist who was teaching her class about Stress Management.

As she picked up a glass of water from the table, all of her pupils expected that standard question of “Is the glass half empty or half full?

However many were surprised when she asked “How heavy is this glass of water?”

Answers were ranging from 10 ounces through to 30 ounces when she interrupted the class to say “The actual weight doesn’t matter, what really matters is how long you need to hold on to it!”

You see if I have to hold this glass for a short while, let’s say 1 minute, it is not a problem, if I need to hold it for 1 hour, my arm will probably start to become painful, 2 hours, even more pain. All day, my arm will probably become numb and possibly paralysed.

The actual weight of the glass does not change, but the longer I hold on to it, the heavier it becomes.

The stresses and worries of life are just like this glass of water. The longer that we hold on to them, the heavier they become.

Feel the stress for a short while, not a problem, hold on to it for a little longer and the pain starts, continue to hold on to it all day and you can start to feel numb, paralysed, unable to function, incapable of doing anything.

She went on to say how important it is to let go of stress at the earliest possible opportunity, put it down.  Don’t carry it with you, throughout the day, in to the evening, in to the night, on through the following days, weeks and months.

Remember to put the glass down.

It was Hans Selye who said “It’s not the stress that kills us; it’s our reaction to it”

When we learn to manage the energy flow through our bodies, using Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) and other Energy therapies, we realise that we do have the power within us to let go of those daily stresses of life, not to take them on board.

To be able to put the glass down and get on with living our lives in the best possible way, as we were always intended to do.

With Stress, you can always have that choice.

Everyday modern living helps to create in many of us those varying levels of anxiety that, unfortunately, we have become accustomed to. We know all about those anxious feelings when a forthcoming event places us at the centre of attention or when our social or family commitments require us to make that important speech.

These feelings of anxiety, for many people, emerge unexpectedly but occur all too often, creating debilitating feelings especially in specific conditions, locations or environments.

It may happen when walking alone, in remote or busy locations, whilst driving along a busy road or motorway. First time meetings are a regular cause of anxiety, unfamiliar surroundings or remembering past events or situations.

This anxiety and the often accompanying panic attacks can have a negative impact on a person’s quality of life and the anxiety breed’s further anxiety which can create a perpetual circle of negative behaviour.

If any of the above is a description of the way that you are feeling at the moment, EFT and Energy Therapy has a way of helping you that can overcome this problem.

We understand that anxiety and the resulting panic attacks are blockages in the energy system which can be cleared to provide relief from the symptoms.

Many people do not realise that today’s anxiety or panic attack can probably be traced back to something that happened years ago. As an example, if we are struggling with public speaking and this is causing anxiety, over and above the normal “nerves”, maybe we were made to feel embarrassed or foolish when trying to speak out in our younger years. That earlier incident has probably created some blockage or blockages within our energy system.

EFT can normally break down that energy blockage in the body allowing the body energy to flow.

Many of my clients have experienced incidents in their earlier years which have caused problems in their current lives. By using EFT, we can go back to those previous memories and tap away those energy blockages, creating many dramatic life improvements.

If I can help you to overcome feelings of anxiety or panic attacks, please contact me.

My practice is based in High Peak, Derbyshire in the UK but wherever you are in the World, I can probably help you to overcome those feelings of anxiety because EFT is ideally suited for use on the telephone or over Skype.

As we get to understand more about energetic connections, it is easy to see that the closer we are to another, human or animal, the stronger is the energy link.

Energy links are strongest between a mother and child, then twins, siblings, parent / child relationships, but the connection between those who have spent endless years together allows those individual energy systems to strengthen, deepen and eventually merge into one – or has it is often described , grow together.

When one of these energy systems suddenly ceases to be there, the effect on the other, the person left after their child / partner / friend has passed on creates bereavement pain and this pain is the strongest, most painful of all human emotions.

For those fortunate enough not to have had to go through the experience, the pain suffered by someone going through bereavement pain is unimaginable.

With EFT and energy healing we can work with the bereaved person, understanding that the energy body has been injured, towards a healing event that can bring the sufferer to a place of peace and love.

There is NO anger, NO guilt, NO shame, we are healing something that has been seriously injured and we can take that energy healing through to a place of love.

With people who have lived alone for years forming strong energy links to their animals, the bereavement pain felt when one of these energy connections is broken by the death of a beloved pet can be exactly the same as if it was the loss of a close human energy connection and just the same, energy healing can help to bring these people through their grief to a healing event and a place of love and understanding.
