"You are a Latticework of energy "
The above, a quote from Donna Eden who wrote Energy Medicine and she is referring to each one of us, without any exceptions. Really no need for channeling, is there?.
Tonight, I heard an interview with Donna Eden, my guru of Energy Medicine, not just practicing and writing about it, she also has made it her crusade to teach and demonstrate energy medicine to the masses.Energy works without you willing it or thinking about it but stressors in your life play a crucial part in the energy system of your body. Remember we are working with two main energies, positive or negative which is also lack of!
Look at your hand. It is electromagnetic and that is why you sometimes feel the energy running through your system, as if you had touched a live socket.It's is referred to as static shock.
Are you able to read the energy in yourself and others? You should and again this needs some practice.
We can feel our energies and those of others. Have you heard this expression, " I had a gut feeling this would happen." Intuition, which many of us have abandoned to our detriment. Intuition, when fine tuned can be a useful tool to read our energies.
Some people are able to see energies that circulate in and out of the body with spirals and weaves. Have you noticed how a baby when held, looks around the person. That baby sees the energies, so does the child but the teens and adult do not see it. Why? We let that skill lie dormant as it was not what the adults were talking about or perhaps the child was told frequently, it was the imagination or a dream etc.
An experiment conducted by Donna had a group of parents in a small town, talk about energies to their babies and children ; years later, when these were teenagers, they were still able to see the energies around different people. There are so many examples which I might mention in future posts, if you request it.( onc involved a surgeon in a busy hospital) *1
In March I had a 7 day challenge on this blog in which several bloggers took part. I gave them the exercises below. Please visit the posts and read their revealing comments. There were three posts and you could find it under Energy Medicine - 7 day challenge.
1. Be thankful for what you DO have! You have a roof over your head. You do have some good health, a good bed to sleep on, Your intelligence! What about family and friends?
I find it good to give thanks in the morning when I awake.
2. Make a funny face in front of the washroom mirror and laugh for about 5 minutes, while doing your bathroom routine, after that, take 3 long slow deep breaths. You could continue laughing while you're doing your bathroom routine. Caution - don't laugh while shaving, guys! You can smile.
3.Cut back your intake of negative news from newspapers, radio,television or the Internet.You are protesting,"I want to be current on the news". You will not miss much - "Bad" news travel fast". Put on some lively or soothing music according to your preferences.
4. Look for the good news! They travel slowly. Also look for the good things you see around you on the street, at work and at home and smile. Spend at least one hour quality time with yourself or your family. Accentuate the positive.
5. Find positive things to say at work or home. Tactfully change the subject if negative ones crop up in your conversations and discussions. Accentuate the Positive.
6. Watch comedies or funny shows on TV or at the movies! Invest in a book of jokes.
Read a couple of pages a day. Cut out "Funny Pictures or Cartoons"
Stick them on areas like your work station, fridge, TV, to remind you to smile.
Brisk exercise for 20 minutes or laughing exercises for 20 minutes.
Laughing for 20 minutes including belly laughs is equivalent to an hour's jog.
7. In the evening, give thanks for your day and look forward to the next one
In the next post, I will give you some of the ways of boosting your Energy System, which in turn will boost your immune system and general health. Anyone interested in doing another 7 day challenge, please let me know in the comment section.
I'll leave the last word to Donna as she stated in this evening's interview about Energy Medicine. An eye opening statement don't you think during this time of all the flu viruses floating around??.

Energy Healing and Attitude
What is the connection, you might ask? Is there a connection?
Firstly let us define Energy Healing? Each of us have energy emanating from our body. This is our energy system. When our energy is vibrant, we act, think and function optimally. However, when any part of energy system is blocked, our health, vitality and clarity of mind is affected. "Energies most pertinent to energy medicine are electrical energies, elecromagnetic energies and subtle energies."*1
Secondly - the definition of attitude - a considered disposition or reaction to a person or a thing or a way of regarding or a posture. Attitudes can be Positive, eg. optimism or Negative eg. ingratitude. I am sure you can find many other attitudes that fit in the positive or negative columns.
The attitude of gratitude lifts your energy. So does optimism.Studies have shown that people who hold positive expectations instead of anticipating negative outcomes have better overall health. Also, people who meditate regularly have a higher degreee of strength and resilience *2
How does attitude help with the employment situation? People with positive attitudes are more open to possibilities and opportunities, whereas a negative attitude does just the opposite. Many inventors and successful entrepreneurs tried and tried many, many times before they achieved success. Imagine if the Wright brothers gave up after they experienced some major failures, we would not be traveling by planes. What if Edison's, and Bell's failures stopped them from inventing what we have taken for granted in our lives today?
Many of our attitudes have been learned since we were children or after certain recurring experiences. In energy healing or energy medicine, we can re-learn those attitudes that will bring optimal health to our body, mind and spirits. Some effort is involved and support from others who are on the same road is strongly recommended. Finding a good energy practitioner is also a boon. However, the reward will permeate not only your physical, mental and social health but also your wealth. You will begin to see yourself transforming from a needy person to an empowering person!

Beneath the Singapore Sky -3
As an author in the 21st Century, one has to wear many hats - writing is not enough. Editing, marketing and managing one's book reading and signing schedules is essential to make your book known. I still consider all these facets, interesting.
More updates on the Beneath the Singapore Sky
There will be a book signing on the 8 August (this Saturday) at BOOKSTOP in the Barrhaven, Nepean location from 1pm - 3 pm.
I am also finalizing a book signing in downtown Toronto for mid-September. What about your sequel, you might well ask?? I am writing a few pages every week due to all the distractions, like book signing, marketing, etc. (LOL).
Beneath the Singapore Sky - 4 onwards will be in my new blog TransformYourLife, which showcases my writing journey, novels, fiction & non-fiction interviews etc, etc. If you enjoy it, let me know!

Beneath the Singapore Sky -2
Oh! I missed this follow-up to my first book signing at BOOK STOP. It went well, considering hardly any advertisement was done and that it was a week-end in the summer.
80% of the people who showed up at the bookstore bought the novel. Some asked me when the Sequel will be out. Since they wanted an answer, I replied, "Before Christmas!" So I have set a deadline for myself.If my posts are brief, please excuse me readers, I have a Sequel to finish! To add to the agenda, book signings have been planned for August, September and October and a book reading in November at the Public Library.
If you have some issues with your vacation plans, find some consolation that I have had no vacation this year. The fact is that I enjoy what I am doing and I don't consider it a chore. Hope some of you are already reading the novel. If you have problems acquiring it, please give a shout or comment.

EFT-=Empowering Result.
Why and How did EFT empower me?
I began some tapping about six months on a financial issue. I tried several tapping set-up phrases. Finally, I found one in particular that resonated with me. After a few days of tapping on those phrases, I had a strong urge, almost an obsession to write this novel with a clear vision of the introduction and first chapter. Procrastination became a non-issue. Every night I would have the idea for the next chapter. The novel did not take long to finish, the editing took more time.
It was my dream in my teens to be a writer. As an adult, I thought that once my finances were secure, I would turn to writing. If any of you are thinking in that line, don't.There is nothing like the Now! It seems that creative juices flow more abundantly when you're struggling physically, emotionally or financially.
So now there is this novel Beneath the Singapore Sky and Yes, it has been an empowering and healing experience. So EFT not only helps with emotional and physical issues, it definitely empowers a person.
Although a very empowering experience, writing is also a humbling experience as there will be Critics. Not everyone will like what you write. That is normal but if you touch even one person with your written words, then it was worth the effort.

EFT 6
If you read the two previous posts, you have seen the result of EFT. So is EFT an empowering tool?
Gary Craig, the founder of EFT, mentioned several times in his writings to try EFT on anything, which is what I did. My primary goal was to clear a painful relationship memory. It never occurred to me that the result would be a novel. Yet I did write this novel BEYOND THE SINGAPORE SKY in so short a time. That was the exciting bonus.
Did I achieve the primary goal? Yes, that painful relationship memory is not painful anymore. So I do believe EFT or Emotional Freedom Technique is also an empowering tool?

EFT Result??
This is a slight departure from my EFT series or is it? Gratitude is part of EFT and I will be offering my thanks to a number of people in this article.
In the spring, while I was doing some EFT tapping on some issues, a strong thought of writing a novel came to me during the tapping and this thought persisted throughout the night and the next morning. It did not evaporate and I began writing an historical novel which took me about 3 weeks, non-stop to complete. Then, came the longer time of finding editors,publishers, self-editing, layout and working on the book covers. I entered into the world of self-publishing.
Along the way, I came into contact with some kind, generous souls, including one in particular who was in my social networking site. Her name is Angela Lovell and she wrote the review which is on my back cover. She also did some further editing. Then, my retired neighbor, Tony Artna helped me with the graphics for the cover. Another friend Carolyn, read the first draft. A number of friends and former colleagues have already ordered some copies. So to all those who supported me in writing this novel, I will always be grateful to you and invite you to share my accomplishment.
"Beneath the Singapore Sky" is now printed. The challenging job of marketing begins. This novel was printed in Canada. I hope to have it distributed in the US and internationally. So in the meantime, as mailing is too expensive an option, I am considering e-books? I have not approach Amazon yet? What do you think?
I do believe this novel was the result of my EFT tapping! It was an healing,liberating and empowering experience.

EFT - 5
As I mentioned at the start of this series, my EFT experience is still at a beginner's level and I have incorporated it into my practice as the results have been impressive, faster, when I have tapped on my clients than when I have tapped on my own issues. I believe it is easier to be objective when one is working on another person's emotions.
Recently, a client came to see me on some anger issues with her spouse. First, I asked her on a scale of 1 - 10 ( ten being the most intense) where her emotion of anger was. She replied 10.She did not appear comfortable to tell me the incident or event that made her livid. I told her it was not necessary to tell me, but that when I was doing the tapping and saying the phrases, she had to bring the incident to her mind. So we worked with the tapping and the phrasing of the anger in words and deep breathing between rounds. After 15 minutes, I asked her where her anger level was and she said - 4. Before we continued with another set of tapping rounds, I asked her if she wanted to change the phrases, I was using and she decided that my phrasing was exactly what she would use but I gave her the freedom to jump in with a change of phrasing, during the rounds. She also decided to do the tapping on herself instead of me doing the tapping.
Then after another 5 minutes, I asked her to gauge her anger level. She said it was two and found that acceptable and her whole body including face and voice looked peaceful. However, I told her that with a couple more rounds of EFT we could bring it lower. So we did another 5 minutes and then she looked at me surprised - " I don't feel any anger toward him anymore - it is O.
To test this, I asked her to think of the whole incident to bring up the anger. She did but she could not feel anger. We worked on some unrelated issues and an hour later, I asked her to bring up the incident that made her angry. She did but could not feel anger about it.

EFT-4
"With people that suffer from mental illnesses, if you remove one aspect of thinking, it will need to be replaced by another,"
What is the DOWNSIDE of getting rid of a physical or mental problem, or an addiction or a negative emotion??
No I haven't lost it? Yes for some people there is a Downside, which is why a therapy does not appear to work on certain individuals! It is a crucial question that practitioners of Energy Medicine or any other therapies, have to ask their clients? And for clients to ask themselves? Is there a downside to having a healthy weight or quitting cigarettes or alcohol or even to re-gain one's mobility or to overcome one's chronic pain?
For the issue of smoking, excess alcohol and food intake, there are social repercussions. Example, if they quit smoking, then they no longer feel welcomed in that cozy social group of smokers and if that group was their main social group of friend, then how are they going to find a new group or could they even find a new group - Perceived Companionship, Safety and security loss could be the motivator for holding on to an illness or an addiction?
In EFT, the term core issue is used. Once this core issue is released, then one will make progress with resolution of the illness or addiction. I knew of someone, who stated she wanted arthritic pain relief but after some muscle testing, she was found strong on not wanting to get rid of it. Puzzling, so I investigated - It was discovered that being pain-free, would alienate her from a pain support group which was her only form of socializing. She also felt her children called her regularly to inquire about her condition. She remembered a few years ago, without arthritic pain - she only heard from them twice a year!
The following was taken from Gary Craig's newsletter of how a physician assistant used EFT in the clinic to help two patients in mental distress.

EFT-3
"With people that suffer from mental illnesses, if you remove one aspect of thinking, it will need to be replaced by another,"
Mental conditions have many aspects to them. In EFT language, an aspect is another branch of the condition or the problem. EFT is used with other psychotherapies to produce effective results. Dr.D Feinstein talks about the effects of EFT in his book Energy Psychology.
As with some mental conditions, including addictions and cravings, Gary Craig calls these addictions as tranquillizers. So the huge question becomes - what are they tranquillizing from? It is the same with dieting and weight gain!
If you remove an addiction without finding what caused that addiction in the first place, then, the addiction will return in another form because the underlying anxiety was not addressed. Example: Someone works on controlling an alcohol addiction - is he successful if he replaces alcohol with smoking? So Now when he is anxious, he smokes instead of drinking beer? Looked like he has substituted one addiction for another. Below is an article written by a EFT practitioner on the different aspects of the smoking addiction.

EFT does take some effort, much persistence but the rewards appear to be long term.

If you remove an addiction without finding what caused that addiction in the first place, then, the addiction will return in another form because the underlying anxiety was not addressed. Example: Someone works on controlling an alcohol addiction - is he successful if he replaces alcohol with smoking? So Now when he is anxious, he smokes instead of drinking beer? Looked like he has substituted one addiction for another. Below is an article written by a EFT practitioner on the different aspects of the smoking addiction.

EFT does take some effort, much persistence but the rewards appear to be long term.

EFT -2
"With the mental aspect, can you describe how you recommend the removal of the negative and then replacing it with _________? With people that suffer from mental illnesses, if you remove one aspect of thinking, it will need to be replaced by another, if not, it will revert. Is this the fashion that you practice?" from www.lyaayasmoderators.blogspot
This was the questions posed by a member of my social network. The next few posts will attempt to answer this NOT as a psychologist or psychiatrist which I am not. I ALWAYS Recommend that my clients continue to see their physician, psychologist or psychiatrist. Some psychologists and psychiatrists Are Already incorporating Energy Medicine and EFT in their practice.
What I like about Energy Medicine and EFT, the treatment is VERY individualized.So no 2 people with the same Labeling or Diagnosis have the same intervention, example, for 2 persons with depression, the set-up phrases and tapping spots might be different.
That is where my assessment training and other skills. as an RN comes into play. It is why I never make any blanket statement on people's health condition, be it physical, mental or spiritual.
This is the EFT Discovery Statement by the founder Gary Craig:-
The CAUSE of ALL NEGATIVE EMOTIONS is a DISRUPTION in the BODY'S ENERGY SYSTEM.
Although I am seeing much evidence of the above statement in my practice, I do know after being in the health field for many years, there might be exceptions especially in the area of psychiatric conditions.
Next week, we will touch on the second part of the question!

Emotional Freedom Technique -EFT - 1
Emotional Freedom Technique
Have you heard of this? If this is the first time,then you might be among the very few left on this planet, hearing it for the first time!
EFT - or Emotional Freedom Technique is the buzz word these days. Just recently, there was an a week of audio symposium on a world summit of EFT with some of the "Masters" of this therapy, giving their presentations, based on their research, experience and practice.
Although Emotional Freedom Technique is categorized as Energy Psychology, it is part of Energy Medicine,too.
I have had some experience with EFT, but before I share them with you, I would invite anyone who experienced EFT or are using them in their practice to comment on their experiences, views and opinions. How many times do you have someone asking for your opinion? My topic for the next several posts will be on EFT?

Energy Healing -first anniversary
It is my one year anniversary as I started this blog last May!
Does time fly in this Recession? No? Businesses seem to slow down, lay-offs seem to make the time long? Do you have any control? Can you make any changes? If you said No to the last two questions, then read on....
I am no different from many of you as I am on a limited income and my business income is variable. The difference perhaps from some of you is this - I had made some CHOICES deliberately,learning from and using my Energy Medicine tools on myself. Here are 5 of them.
1. Instead of worrying, use the Time with my Energy Medicine Therapy/exercise x2 or x3 daily.
example - laughter therapy, 5 minute Energy Exercises,EFT.
2. Writing posts on my blog to share ways of being Empowered instead of being powerless. Believe me, there were many times I had to force myself to write.
3. Doing EFT tapping which caused the flow of creative juices, resulting in writing a book. Hope to have it published by June 2009
4.Changing negative thoughts and words to the Positive.
5.Last but not least daily meditation and thanksgiving.
In these days of Recession and Lack, focus of What you Do Have, no matter how small they seem and do not resent others for what they have. Why? Resenting others for their financial gains Will backfire on you. If you want money, don't resent or be envious of others who have it. So if you want time to fly in this recession, perhaps you could try the 5 suggestions given above. They have made time fly for me.

Energy Medicine - A Misnomer 2?
A comment I received from my last post was from a drug company, stating that Energy Medicine is more a Self-Help and not Medicine? This comment is very predictable coming from a drug company.
Many of you have heard of Acupuncture,have you not? It is practised worldwide and accepted in mainstream medicine, so none would argue that it is not medicine. Acupuncture was practised first in China.For many years, it was under the category of Chinese Medicine. Now even western trained physicians perform acupuncture. Did you know it is a form of Energy Medicine?
The systems that acupuncture works on is the same ones that Energy Medicine uses albeit without the needles.
Energy Medicine is not a misnomer but it is Medicine that does not create dependence or co-dependence that is a regular feature of many drugs in the market today!

Energy Medicine - A Misnomer?
Someone mentioned recently that she had misgivings about anything with the name "Medicine" Medicine as we all know is a substance that is used to heal or prevent disease.
Why the name Energy Medicine? Is it a Misnomer? As far as my research has taken me in the domain of Energy Medicine, one does not have to take anything by mouth. There are no pills or syrups or even supplements promoted. It is encouraged in Energy Medicine to eat sensibly.
Energy Medicine is in the category of Alternative and Complementary Medicine but unlike some alternative medicine where certain nutritional supplements or herbs are emphasized, it is not so with Energy Medicine. So what is the Medicine part?
According to Donna Eden, Energy is the medicine. She adds that your body's energies are able to mobilize and respond to illness. In energy medicine, troubled energies are the Patient. To re-pattern these troubled energies is the Solution of Energy Medicine.
