I find it helps enormously...when I do it! I just bought the Headspace app to keep me on track. I've found it helps since I want to keep my daily streak. So far I'm on day 4!!

Gary Craig is the "creator" and his website is emofree.com. He has lots of videos there of people using the technique. I've even gone to a certified practitioner when I lived close to Portland, OR and she was wonderful! It's very intense sometimes, but I love that it can be done in a short time, once you learn the techniques. Contact me if you have any questions!

It does take concentration, but that is what keeps the intrusive thoughts away. I use it whenever I'm feeling worried or anxious or hurting... I love it too as can be done anywhere, anytime and only takes a few minutes. I swear, after just 2 or 3 minutes, I can feel my body releasing negative energies and a wonderful "relax" response comes over me. I used to have horrible anxiety attacks (that would send me to the hospital!) and through EFT, I have mostly been able to prevent them. I've tried meditation too but for some reason, can't stay concentrated like that for 20 minutes.. but I know it would help immensely too. xoxo MarilynMarilyn McLeod @ Pink Paper Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13166022624714254716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1791860108829806850.post-79888744009432261352021-07-21T13:52:48.736-04:002021-07-21T13:52:48.736-04:00My sister-in-law meditates.

So I need to get going again. I know much of my physical pain could probably be helped by meditating. I like to sit in my living room with the sound machine going.<br />BrendaBrenda Pruitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14544794729410559072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1791860108829806850.post-52976064253085661632021-07-21T11:17:39.268-04:002021-07-21T11:17:39.268-04:00I have all those symptoms and need to meditate mor...I have all those symptoms and need to meditate more.
