and acupuncture would achieve the same result? i have no idea where you would find energy/vibrational healers; google turned up nothing locally at all. Just rang the acupuncture council but they said i'd have to negotiate with local practiitoners about free sessions. I don't really feel comfortable asking if someone who charges £50 is willing to do anything else.
There's Su-jok Onnuri acupuncture, much easier to understand and even
do yourself on fairly serious level:
Anxiety - excess of Dampness energy
Stress - usually excess of Dryness energy, lack of Heat
Fear - excess of Cold energy
The whole group of Gomo-energies.
Recipe: sedate Gomo, tone up Hetero, + control point on joints, which you can do yourself by taping seeds/crystals onto.
What looks good is the active scepticism in your posts:
1. seemingly enough energy to start acu schemes.
2. Acupuncture doesn't need emotional/mental efforts or smth
one may dislike like "love your haters" etc. Changes are on vital energies level which draws emotional + mental energies in the same direction.
The acu scheme:
a) 1-st thumb joint, 3 points size 2-3 mm at 90* to each other, at 9.00, 12.00 and 15.00 if on the clock face.
b) wrist line, point 4 at 6.00
You:
1. mark them by their colours on the image by a colour pen
(very mild action, for children)
2. tape either:
--- 2 RED plant seeds like red pepper, carrot, best is viburnum (guelder rose) on points 1 and 2 and green seeds like lentils on points 3 and 4.
--- 2 red crystals like red garnet on 1 and 2 and green like amazonite, peridote onto 3 and 4.
Seeds are to be changed for fresh every 12-24 hours and crystals
put in salted water 1 teaspoon for a glass, for 24 hours, so good to have 2 sets of them for non-stop treatment.
You have them taped for 30 min and up to 24 hours a day, according to feelings.
Such simple acu worked sometimes so strongly that I had to add correcting schemes for more comfort.
Very essential!
Red seeds need to be oriented on the point:
1. they lie on the joint line parallel to it
2. they both need to be their sharp ends TOWARDS you and their blunt ends from you if look on the palm.
3. green seeds doesn't need orientation
There's also no need to orient crystals.
Hello Bloke, I apologise I did not mean to imply that healing is some kind of impossibility, what I meant was that all alternative treatments require you to engage, weather it's counselling, EFT, energy medicine etc, nobody can heal you of your emotional issues without your taking part, the closest you are going to get to that happening is medicine but like I said in my last post this only addresses the symptoms and not the root cause.LoveRebecca x
I am prepared to take part, where possible (ie, if i can get there and afford it). I don't have any crystals (i don't even have any green seeds, and lentils are red) and I don't even know where to find them. Is there not a more efficient way of doing this
Lentils are red?
Sorry, then there's language problems.
The idea is to use any seeds/crystals of the needed colour, size
2-6 mm.
Seeds to cook food i.e bought in supermarkets work quite well.
Amazonite is very cheap and red garnet/peridote is also in cheap necklaces,
no need for first-class gems, stone size may be just 2 mm.
You may massage the points by smth like round tip of pencil:
--- point 1 - anticlockwise
--- point 2 - clockwise
--- 3 and 4 - random short twists right-left
Using needles or moxibition is for professionals, but you may try simple version by an incense stick:
lit and keep at about 1-2 cm from the point perpendicular to all points in a sequence shown on the image! for 0.5-1 min for each point or until a pleasant warmth at each point.
Bloke, I've sent you a private message!
Hi Bloke,
I would second the suggestions others made to try EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) as a self-help method to help reduce some of the overwhelming emotions you are experiencing. It is not necessarily a quick fix (though it can work really quickly for some of the simpler emotional issues) but will help to take the edge off the anxiety and can go further.
Experienced EFT practitioners should be able to treat PTSD and other complex issues, but even if you cannot find someone who would work with you for free or at a concessionary rate, even on your own you can achieve quite a lot with EFT as a self-help tool. Do have a look at [DLMURL="http://www.emofree.com/a/?2014"]Gary Craig's website[/DLMURL], there is a free manual you can download and many case studies and articles which illustrate what is possible to achieve with EFT. There are also many EFT videos on YouTube (of very variable quality, but enough to get the the basic procedure).
Good luck

I also agree about EFT - it can be very powerful!

tbh, this sounds rather scary and i'm not sure about doing it alone (which I would be). I would rather give acupuncture a go, but i haven't found anywhere i can afford yet, excpet maybe a single session which seems rather counter productive. Unfortunately for me i don't live where there is a vibrant spiritual/therapeutic community which is also what i need. I have been reading books by the Barefoot Doctor as he speaks at a level I can understand.
I've just read the EFT manual; rather the actual technique. Surely it's not as simple as this? Is it safe to try at home unsupervised?

Hi Bloke
Yes, EFT can be as simple as this! It's brilliant in fact!! Do read up the case studies on the main site (www.emofree.com) - find them with the search engine. Have a look on past EFT posts here on the forums to see what has been suggested too. You could start by trying it on a small problem you have, or even on the fact you are sceptical of it working and note any changes. You can then progress as you become more confident - but remember always to be specific in dealing with the problem otherwise it is inclined to be too vague to work. For example if the problem was aches and pains - it's no use saying 'even though I have these aches and pains' - it's too general, you'd need to be specific - 'even though I have this pain on the top of my left shoulder ...' or '... on the side of my right knee ...' etc and work with it until that specific item has been dealt with, but you must not any thoughts that come up in the process - these are often emotional situations that happened in childhood, or in the past. These will then need to be worked on. It takes time and persistence. Is there anyone who could work with you as it is often easier to have someone there to keep one on track?
Hope that helps - all the best
I would agree with Caroline that it's best to start practising EFT with smallish problems, and it is important to be specific when identifying what to work with. Of many therapies I have learnt and practised, it is probably one of the gentlest, but also powerful, so it is quite common to experience a temporary increase in emotional intensity - if that is the case for you, the best course of action is to continue tapping on acupressure points until the emotion subsides to comfortable levels.
Among the possible side effects are tiredness, lightheadedness, tingling - make sure you have a chance to rest after using EFT; in terms of contra-indications - if you have high blood pressure, do not use the points on the head (some versions of the procedure include these but not Gary Craig's standard protocol), just miss them out. Make sure you drink water as EFT may not work very well if you are dehydrated.

Hi bloke,
you said something that stood out for me.
It is this...
In short my family treated me poorly in terms of raising someone with love.
Can I share? In your words I see the word love.
I just want to share that is possible for you to ask for Love for yourself. And, that it is possible to ask for help with the asking.
You can ask at any time and as often as you like, whenever you feel the need to.
I believe that we are Loved more than any of us can ever contemplate.
And, it isn't a requirement for the asking to be at set-aside-times.
Love can be in the living, within us in the midst of every minute of our waking lives.
I send Love......
not just for Christmas but for every day of the year.
Love for you within all your searching.
Remember and know of the specialness of you......

Thanks. It is difficult, and I don't know if it is true for everyone, to develop love for one's self when one has not received any themselves. I don't know how to do this, because it was never given to me or taught.
tried eft, from that pdf, it seems to do something. this is incredible!
