EFT or energy tapping is an alternative technique that has been gaining popularity. It is well worth taking a look at and see if it fits your style and personality. At minimum you could get some stress relief, but there are applications for pain as well.
This upcoming conference offers FREE sessions for 24 hours after they are recorded. Here is the web page. They have a free conference every February. I found last year’s conference well worth listening to, the interviews were thoughtful and interesting.
There is alwasy at least one sessions on specifically on pain. I have found conference speakers to be knowledgeable, and each one offers a tap-along session, so you can experience EFT for yourself. My intro article can be found here EFT- Tapping.
EFT (emotional freedom technique) could be used as a psychological tool– to deal with all aspects of your pain and other symptoms. Rarely will one quick tapping session do more than relax, or give a little relief. However, with skill and a willingness to look at issues, I could see it making a real difference. I would love feed-back if you are having good success with this method.
