what is EFT? [How to do it]

Hello Friend,

A happy Monday morning to you, and your herd.

My newest Inner Circle video is now up- it's on EFT for animals, and in the video you'll see just how simple it is to do, and HOW well my dog Jessie responds.

What you need to know about EFT

What is EFT?


Originally developed for people, Emotional Freedom Technique, EFT, is a modern energy healing technique that works on the energy system, not on the physical body.

Unlike acupressure, you tap or touch very lightly, sending small energy pulses from your healing hands into your energy system, balancing and re-energizing it and clearing blockages as you do so.

Another main difference between the EFT and acupuncture and acupressure is that you use your intention and focus to direct which particular problem you are working on.

In energy work, energy flows where attention goes.

This may sound all 'woo woo' to you, but if you try it on yourself, you'll find it works great- it also did wonders for my dog Jessie.

Here are some of the reported health benefits:


Anxiety due to being separated, going to the vet, etc.
Known or suspected past mental or physical abuse
Known fears such as thunderstorms or fireworks
Unknown fears
Aggression towards people and other animals
Depression
Health issues
Pain relief
Relationship problems
Training and focus problems


The EFT Round (source animal-eft.org)

0 = The Heart Centre. This is where we start and finish our round of EFT by placing both hands flat on the centre of the chest in the Heart Healing Position and take three deep breaths in and out. We say the Set Up statement and then we begin to tap.

On each point, you can repeat the original set up or choose a shortened version, the Reminder Phrase, to keep you focused.

Now tap on:

Top Of The Head - The highest point on the top of your head.

Third Eye Point - In the centre of your forehead.

Start Of The Eyebrow - Where the bone behind your eyebrow turns into the bridge of your nose.

Corner Of The Eye - On the bone in the corner of your eye.

Under The Eye - On the bone just below your eye, in line with your pupil if you look straight ahead.

Under The Nose - Between you nose and your upper lip

Under The Mouth - In the indentation between your chin and your lower lip

Under The Collarbone - In the angle formed by your collarbone and the breastbone

Thumb - all finger points are on the side of the finger, in line with the nail bed.

Index Finger

Middle Finger

Ring Finger

Little Finger

Karate Chop Point - on the side of your hand, roughly in line with your life line.

0 = And to finish the round of EFT, back to the Heart Healing Position where we take three deep breaths in and out.


Take a moment now go through the sequence, starting with the Heart Healing position where you take three deep breaths in and out. Then find and touch each point in turn with your index finger.

Touch each point lightly, breathe deeply and simply pay attention to how that feels, and how each point creates all kinds of different sensations you can feel in your body.

Veterinary Secrets Pet of the Week!
For Dr Jones and everyone:

Attached are some photos of our dog Mahina. In 2012 my husband suffered a massive stroke involving 80% of his left brain. The last photo is of Jack and Mahina, who is a service dog, on our first visit home after a couple of months in rehab.

Mahina is a shelter rescue who had been used to calm other dogs at the shelter. She is a natural helper. The neurologist had met Mahina on office visits and said to get Mahina in to the hospital as soon as possible, after the stroke, and sure enough, Jack responded to her.

Today, 2 1/2 years later, Jack is still improving and Mahina has been a God send for both of us. She lets me know when my BP is too high, and alerts me if Jack is about to have a seizure, among other things.

She is highly allergic to 20 different things, like grass, dust, and all kinds of plants, which is tough because we live on Kauai. We don't even know what foods are bad for her.

Anyway, she is the sweetest, calmest, most wonderful dog, who deserves a good sleep once in a while, as she is always on alert to help us.

Thought you might like to know a bit about her.

We thank you so much for helping us help her.

Aloha,

Connie, Jack, and Mahina


Thank You, Connie,Jack and Mahina!!

Dr Andrew :-)
