Greetings!
eft for kids logo
Its great to bring you the second issue of Mildred's EFT News!  My next group workshops are on March 11 and 13. You can prepay and pre-register here. Remember, if EFT is completely new to you, you can come for free, but please register by email at braingym@telus.net or phone (780)432-3605.

I hope to include something of my readings in each newsletter, as I educate myself on the mind/body connection. With this in mind, I have included an exercise from The Immune Power Personality below. I bought this book second hand from the Barnes and Noble site when I realised what a treasure it was. (Also available at the Edmonton Public Library.) I recommend   that you use the Pennebaker method this week.  What better way to avoid getting the flu this season?
Young Woman Overcomes Panic Attacks Using EFT

This testimonial interview is from a young friend of mine. I did not understand at the time that she was supposed to be taking medication, or that she wasn't doing so. She came to me because she was having problems with her job, being unable to work because of crippling anxiety. Of course this was not helping her work relationships either, and so her work situation was further adding to her anxiety.(MT)
What was your situation?


I was dealing with a lot of childhood stresses and emotions, and keeping them bottled up it hit me like a ton of bricks! I started feeling sick, dizzy, shortness of breath, and feeling like I was going to die.  read more.. For More personal testimonials surrounding anxiety and panic issues here.

This quote is from Hellen Keller:

"Do not think of today's failures, but of the success that may come tomorrow. You have set yourself a difficult task, but you will succeed if you persevere; and you will find a joy in overcoming obstacles."

Coping with Dental Anxiety 
Squeeze and Breathe
What to do when you are sitting in the dentist's chair and you can't stand the sounds the smells, the feelings that you are experiencing? Try using the hand points of EFT.  The hand points, which are often not used in EFT shortcut procedures, are still useful when it is impractical  to use the other points, as listed at here.
  1. Start by squeezing the sides of your thumbnail and take a deep breath or two.
  2. Then go to the pointer finger, again squeezing the sides of the nail and taking one or two deep breaths.
  3. Repeat with each of your finger nails on both hands, remembering to breathe deeply at each stopping point.more
The Immune Power Personality: 7 Traits You Can Develop to Stay Healthy

Part 1: Boost Your Immunity in Minutes Using the Pennebaker Method

After completion of the following exercise over a 5 day period, James Pennebaker and Sandra Beall documented students as having boosted their immunity for an average term of 6 months. Students in the study were asked to spend 20 minutes per day, for 5 consecutive days responding to the following simple exercise:
"Write continuously about the most upsetting or traumatic experience of your life. Write about anything you want, ideally about something you have not talked about with others in detail. Don't worry about grammar, spelling, or sentence structure. In your writing, I want you to discuss your deepest thoughts and feelings. Try to let yourself go and touch those deepest emotions and thoughts that you have. In other words, write about what happened and how you felt about it and how you feel about it now (p.99, quoted in The Immune Personality by Henry Dreher)."

Participants reported feeling worse on the first few days, but reported that they felt immensely better after completing the 5 day process.Those who benefited the most reported being able to express emotions, being able to let go of past issues, and they also reported new insights and perspectives surrounding the past traumatic event. 

This was just the first of seven detailed and well documented research studies that Dreher explores.  This book was written twelve years ago. I wish I had had it then. (MT)
