Brad Yates and EFT - I love it!

Hi there, all you beautiful people. This video is going to be more about the wonderful subject of EFT, Emotional Freedom Technique. I want to mention this rose that's behind me. It's called the Westerland. I think I'll show it again. It's just the most gorgeous, gorgeous flower. It's standing here behind me while I tell you about this. I've been using this Emotional Freedom Technique for a while now. I've mentioned it before, but I want to talk a little bit more about it. It is an incredible tool to have for anyone, really. It doesn't matter whether you're sick or not sick. In every aspect of your life, you can use this to make your life work better. I want to tell you about a man called Brad Yates, who I discovered not long ago. He has over 600 Emotional Freedom Technique videos. I just love him, because he is so relaxed and down-to-earth, and extremely clever. You just feel you're with him in your own home, in your own space. It's just really, really wonderful. With 600 videos, there's just something about every aspect of life. You can just sit and tap along with him, which he asks you to do. It's so powerful. When you start tapping, you get into these emotional things that you're holding on to, that you didn't know were there. They just surface, and you can release them. This is just such a gift. I've also bought a book that I like very much. A wonderful author. His name is John Freedom, which is really funny. I'd like to read for you one page he has here. It's a chapter called Energetic Self Care. I'll read a bit for you. A healthy life is a life in balance. We all want our families and friends to be well, to be happy and healthy, and to take care of themselves. We want and wish the best for them. But what about ourselves? Do we care for ourselves in the ways our loved ones wish we would? Taking good care of ourselves involves more than eating well, exercising and getting enough sleep. It also involves managing our workloads and our stress levels. It involves time for fun and recreation and cultivating loving, supporting relationships. It also involves emotional self care. Just as musicians will tune their instruments several times a day, so we need to tune our human instruments, our bodies, emotions and energies throughout the day. We bathe, brush our teeth and practice personal hygiene every day. We can practice mental and emotional hygiene as well. Stress not only affects our health, it also affects our families, friends and all our relationships. When we are hurting or seething inside, we may deny, ignore or minimize it, but those close to us can sense it and feel the vibes. Meridian tapping is an effective tool for daily mental flossing, for releasing the upsets du jour, so that we can be the resilient, resourceful and loving people we know we are. Energetic self care is a missing piece of the personal health care puzzle. For years we have been conditioned to see ourselves as bodies, to think of ourselves as things, and to see our bodies as machines that need to be fuelled and maintained. As discussed earlier, we are energetic beings in an energetic universe. When we begin thinking of ourselves as energetic or spiritual beings connected with others by fields of energy, how we live our lives begins to shift as well. As you have seen, Meridian tapping or EFT can have profound effects on our mental, emotional and physical wellbeing. It affects us spiritually as well. My experience is that as we release our blocks and traumas, we become more gentle and loving, more capable and compassionate. Our hearts open and our hearts and minds begin working together as friends. We feel more connected and engaged with our families and friends, and with the greater human community of which we are a part. I just thought that page was so good, so spot on, and a wonderful way to see this, that all the things we want to do to help ourselves be well, we have learnt about and we can start doing, but this is something that goes very deep, to work with our energy system and how we really feel inside, and with EFT we can so quickly just release something that can be very, very heavy. So this is just a little more on this wonderful subject, and I ask for blessings over you, and take care. See you soon.
