Emotions are meant to keep us safe; they are our warning system and a reliable indicator of how things are going in our lives. They control how we think, how we behave and the actions we take.

When we ignore, repress or just dismiss our emotions, pain, discomfort or dis-ease is felt in our physical body. EFT can help us identify the cause, acknowledge the emotion and then change the way we feel about them and our belief systems. Change negative emotions into positive ones.

Negative emotions such as fear, anxiety, negativity, depression and frustration cause chemical reactions in our bodies that are very different to ones released when we feel positive emotions such as happy, content, loved and accepted.

How we react to the emotions we are feeling, depends on our perception of them and the beliefs we have about them for example ‘Real men don’t cry or a woman’s place is in the home’. This belief system is within us, filtering how we see and hear things, which affects how we behave. It can take a lot of work to identify the beliefs that are affecting us, but once you know what they are, you are able to do something about them and EFT is the tool to help you.

Yes you! The only person who can change how you feel or what you believe, is you. Too often we hear ‘when I have more money, I won’t be afraid’ only to find there never seems to be enough money or ‘when I have a partner I won’t be lonely anymore’ only to find they are still lonely in the relationship. We take our feelings everywhere with us and they stay with us until we choose to release them. A new job, better car, bigger home will not change how we feel and neither will blaming someone or something else.

Our thoughts and behaviour come either from a place of love or a place of fear. Anger, the need to control, feeling inadequate for example, are all fear-based, whilst joy, compassion, trust and contentment are love-based emotions.
When something difficult or painful happens to us, too often we bury our feelings about it because we can’t cope; we don’t deal with it, so it stays deep with our psyche ready to cause havoc at a later date! We keep carrying them around, and we keep adding to them, until such time as they so heavy that we simply cannot carry them anymore.

So, is your emotional baggage making you sick? Are you ready to make your emotions your friend?
Then it’s time to make peace with them and release them. They’re not helping you so let them go!
