We all have dreams we want to pursue, goals we want accomplished and most of us go through life eager and determined to battle life’s challenges with the hope that one day all of our aspirations will come true. The road to success though is not the same for everybody nor is it as simple as having that one firm goal to turn dreams into reality. One person will surprisingly find it too easy while others need to combat immeasurable challenges to make it.
There are many factors that affects one’s potential to succeed and one of them largely depends on one’s emotional state. The idea is that a person with a firm drive to succeed has controlled and positive emotions that are essential to success. But what if someone has an excellent dream but along with that dream lies fears, anxiety, doubt, and other terrible feelings that can affect one’s potential to succeed.
When was the last time you had to work while suffering from an emotional distress? There is no doubt that your emotional despair has negatively affected your performance at work. It’s a sad thing that for as long as you probably can remember, the standards of society encourages people to set aside their emotions; to work and perform their duties even if their heart is heavy and their mind is full of grief.
However, one’s emotion is difficult if not totally impossible to ignore. People who want to succeed should have the will and the courage to be gentle with their feelings by taking care of their emotions first. This is because success would be elusive to people who keeps on ignoring the need to solve the problems that makes it difficult for them to reach it.
It’s a good thing that there is now an alternative form of healing that encourages people to deal with their negative emotions first- the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT). This new and unconventional therapy is created by Gary Craig and works with the belief that negative emotions disturbs the field of energy in the body resulting to imbalance that may cause sickness, sadness, fears, etc. These emotional baggage’s are recognized and addressed in EFT.
It is likened to another alternative cure which is acupuncture because they share the similar principles. Traditional acupuncture, searches for the pressure points in the body where the disease/illness/pain is concentrated and then heals it. In EFT, the individual taps a specific part of the body while focusing on an event or thought that is associated with the negative emotions. This is done through a method called tapping therapy. This is the reason why it is sometimes referred to as the acupuncture of the mind.
In tapping therapy, the individual focus on the negative emotions and then try to picture him free with it. The patient is also encouraged to say affirmative words out loud to reinforce the thought that they are indeed free from the emotional distress they are experiencing. This is done continuously for a specific period and apparently would lead to self discovery and freedom. One can do it by himself or seek the help of a therapist.
There many articles on the net regarding EFT for those who wants to do some research before trying it. There are also a lot of tutorial videos about EFT that are available on the net for those who want visual explanation and guide about it.
The downside of this alternative cure is that it not widely accepted in the medical field as scientific. It has been criticized to lack scientific methods as well as lack of anecdotal evidence that tapping can indeed correct the fields of energy in the body.
Critics regard those who claimed to have benefited from this technique to have just experienced what they call a placebo effect. Those who regard EFT as pseudoscience claim that the positive results that patients get from it is not really from the balancing of energy fields on the body, but from the benefits of its other components such as medication, positive thinking, etc. Its growing popularity is also attributed with word of mouth and growing presence on the internet.
Even with the criticisms involving EFT, many would say that it is worth a try especially for people who have tried all else but have failed to experience rewarding results. It is worth a try because it is easy to do and learn, mostly cost nothing at all and trains people to listen to their feelings and acknowledging it before it negatively affects their life.www.fountainbrain.blogspot.com
