EFT and The Common Cold
Emotional Freedom Technique - A Cure for the Common Cold?
The emotional freedom technique is an innovative new technique based on the wisdom of the ancient Chinese people. The idea that freeing up the body's energy channels and through that curing a myriad of complaints which have baffled modern Western medicine has long been accepted in traditional Chinese medicine. Einstein knew that everything - including human bodies - is energy; now we're using that knowledge to heal. Modern Western medicine is beginning to see the benefits of the emotional freedom technique, a simple and easy to apply of energy healing.
Emotional freedom technique (EFT) has become so popular because it is effective and does not entail using drugs, which may have unpleasant side-effects. EFT is relatively without risk and indeed there are no recorded abreactions to date since its discovery. It works on the acupressure points situated along all the body's energy channels. It is now being found to heal and relieve symptoms in diseases and medical conditions where no known medical cure existed before - such as is the case with the common cold; this little bug makes life a misery for millions of people for at least a few weeks each year.
The great thing about using the emotional freedom technique - apart from the fact that it works in approximately eighty per cent of cases[1] and does not make you feel drowsy, which conventional cold remedies do - is that it is very quick.[2] It often works in the first day or so after you commence with the emotional freedom technique. It is also good in that it can be self-administered - any time you feel these tell-tale cold symptoms creeping up on you.
When you feel the first symptoms of a cold - itchy eyes, scratchy throat, runny nose etc - you should try performing the EFT tapping routine; repeat it a few hours later and many people see a significant easing of their cold symptoms. Morning, noon and night are good ways to space out your sessions of the emotional freedom technique. If you continue these EFT treatments over the next day or so, you should really see a difference and often you will find that your cold does not develop at all.
As you tap, imagine that your breathing is becoming clearer, your head feeling less stuffy; feel your runny nose switching off like a tap. Repeat to yourself the affirmations that all these unpleasant symptoms are lessening. You'd be amazed how well this works. It even works if you're a total skeptic - go on, next time you feel yourself coming down with a cold, give it a try and see what the emotional freedom technique can do to ease your cold. To get started if you have no previous experience is easy, just tap on the symptoms. So tap the following set up phrases or any as may suit you;
Even though I have this headache...
Even though I have this sore throat...
Even though I have these runny eyes...
Even though I have this blocked nose...
Even though I don't believe EFT will stop this sickness...
Even though I believe that I have to catch this illness at least once a year...

Each emotional freedom technique tapping routine takes very little time; thirty seconds to five minutes that is all that is required each time. This technique works after only a few repetitions and the effects are long-lasting, so you can't use the excuse that you don't have time to do it.
What the emotional freedom technique does in this way is to balance your inner energy levels and the flow of energy to all parts of your body and mind. This in turn keeps your body working well and healthily with its holistic and gentle approach.
