To follow up on yesterday’s thoughts, EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) could be an enormous boost to the well-being of those shaken (emotionally and literally) by the recent tragedies in China and Myanmar.  The Chinese government has voiced support for giving psychological aid to recent earthquake victims.  This is huge and unprecedented (as far as I know), but it remains to be seen how and when this will take place.  Logistics are a challenge, if nothing else.  The Myanmar government has so many issues that there’s no chance they will make a similar initiative.

Regardless how it is ultimately resolved, my point in bringing disasters of this magnitude and EFT up in the same post is that we all have issues, small and large, that happen every day.  Such is life.  And I hope disasters like happened recently in China and Myanmar will never befall you.  But the beauty of a tool like EFT is that it is simple, easy to teach to others with no background in counseling, psychology or medicine, it’s inexpensive (free!) and there are no side effects.  And if that isn’t enough, it’s proven to help with physical as well as emotional issues.  Both come into play in our daily lives, and surely would be of great comfort to these disaster victims. 

So, I encourage you to get familiar with EFT – because you never know when you could use it.  Or where you’ll find yourself.  You’ll find it handier than a swiss army knife!
