EFT to Release Body Toxins
Our physical health can be affected by various toxins: pollution, unhealthy foods, and lifestyle choices such as alcohol, caffeine laced drinks and tobacco. When we have toxicity within our bodies or minds this can actively prevent us from be healed of illness or dis-ease.
It is the belief of the EFT movement that the cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the body's energy system. Our unresolved negative emotions are major contributors to most physical illnesses. Our energy meridians can be similarly affected by toxins. When we have an unhealthy energy center we are unbalanced and unhappy. "Just as a car can become misaligned and malfunction as a result of wear and tear, so too can the energy system become misaligned and malfunction as the result of a variety of factors including trauma and/or prolonged stress."
There is a condition called "neurological disorganization," which is an energy imbalance that occurs in some people. There are various EFT therapies that can reverse neurological disorganization and help a person become more grounded; these include the thymus thump, where you thump on your sternum while humming. Other techniques are the belly button correction, the cross crawl, and the over-energy correction. These techniques are self help wellness aids prominently promoted by Donna Eden, often called the Queen of Energy Medicine.
You can use EFT along with restricting physical toxins such as unhealthy foods - high in fat, sodium or cholesterol, for example. Some EFT therapists have noticed that their clients become irritated and angry if they return to eating a toxic food. This illustrates just how toxic our environment can be, without us even knowing! Other potentially toxic items that we may overlook: perfumes, harsh soaps, and other synthetic materials. "Almost any symptom can be related to energy toxins, including brain fog, fatigue, digestive or respiratory problems, menstrual difficulties, anxiety, depression, learning disabilities, hyperactivity and pain."
A certain person in your life could even be emotionally toxic to you. We may not notice it in our day to day life, but an overly critical boss, condescending "friend" or miserable family member can greatly impact how we feel about ourselves and the world around us. Once you recognize the culprit, you must work to remove them from your life as much as possible. EFT tapping can help eliminate the negative thoughts you associate with the person.
You can use EFT to balance your body and get rid of toxins whether an ingested substance or a person nearby. Start by saying something like "Even though I feel angry around my mother, I deeply and completely accept myself." When you tap, keep repeating the statement. This works for both physical and emotional toxins. If you're dealing with a substance such as a perfume or food, hold the item in front of you and repeat your EFT tapping routine.
The lymph points on your body can also be massaged to eliminate toxins that have built up in the body. Located on the outer rim of your chest and the sides of your legs above the knees, the lymph points can be firmly but gently massaged. As you stimulate these pressure points, repeat the positive thoughts to yourself again and again. Remind yourself that despite your allergy/intolerance to a certain toxin, you completely love and accept yourself.
