EMOTIONAL PRUNING WITH EFT
As I look out of my kitchen window into the garden it seems as if
this summer there have been new shrubs in the garden. On the back
border are now two healthy choisya shrubs with golden greeny yellow
leaves giving brightness to even the gloomiest day during the
unseasonal weather that summer 2007 has brought. They were there all
along, hiding, overshadowed by vigorously growing shrubs at either side
of them for the past two summers. Coping with two close bereavements
within 18 months, other personal changes plus keeping my hypnotherapy
and EFT work going meant that I couldn’t do everything so it was the
garden that got neglected. This year, in early spring, I pruned back
those shrubs which had taken over and discovered the two choisya shrubs
hiding. They looked dwarfed, their leaves an insipid and sickly shade
of washed out creamy yellow. I gave the shrubs some Reiki energy and a
good watering. Now they had space to grow it was a joy to see how
quickly they gained strength and grew and their leaves returned to the
natural evergreen shade of golden greeny yellow.
Then I wondered, when we go through stressful and sad phases of our
life’s journey, our positive emotions of happiness, peace, calmness,
fun, joy, faith and trust can be dwarfed and overshadowed, just like
the choisya shrubs, by the negative feelings of stress, sadness, fear,
guilt, anger and exhaustion. But all we need to do to find all those
positive feelings again is to prune away the negative feelings. That
can be speedily and gently done using Emotional Freedom Technique
(EFT). EFT or emotional acupuncture works by tapping on acupressure
points round the face and on the hand allowing the body energy to flow
correctly again and the release of the negative emotions. This gives
the positive feelings of peace and calmness space to grow and flourish
paving the way for happiness, joy, optimism and fulfilment. And
wherever you go you can always take your personal pruners with you and
easily tap away the slightest hint of any negative emotions creeping
back in. That keeps your positive emotions flourishing just like the
choisya shrubs in my garden.
