For more, read our EFT Info and Disclaimer Document Hi Everyone, Puja Kanth from India helps clients regarding two unusual issues. These are good examples of our Try EFT on Everything motto. Please consult physicians on all medical issues. Hugs, Gary By Puja Kanth Dear Gary, EFT is such a versatile tool that it can be used for everything. Given below are 2 cases which aptly demonstrate this. Weight gain People generally apply EFT for weight loss. However, EFT can also be used for weight gain. I had a client who came to me with alcohol addiction problem. He was also very unhappy with his thin body. He desperately wanted to gain weight. He had tried numerous ways to gain weight but nothing worked. He believed that he would never gain weight. His alcohol addiction started after his dad's death as he felt very guilty about being a bad son. His dad was a strict disciplinarian due to which they fought over a lot of issues. He had also abused drugs when he was a teenager. He was drinking 8 bottles of beer daily when he first started the therapy sessions and was smoking one pack of cigarettes per day. His self image was extremely low and he didn't socialize at all. He worked from home and it involved a lot of stress. He had paranoia and very low self confidence. We did all the sessions online over Skype. We dealt with all the significant negative events from the past and also addressed the core issues for alcohol addiction, possible reasons for drug abuse in the past, reasons for not socializing, low self image, withdrawal symptoms, betrayal over money matters by his friends etc. I am outlining the affirmations for a few issues -Guilt about dad's death: Even though I had to face discipline at home... Alcohol addiction Betrayal His underweight problem was linked with self consciousness and low self image. He felt that everyone was making fun of him because he was so skinny. He was afraid to look into people's eyes because he believed that he would see mockery there. Since I combine counseling/ psychotherapy with EFT, I explained to him that what others think of him does not matter; what he thinks of himself is important. "You have to choose what you want for yourself otherwise others will choose it for you." I used a two step EFT application process - Firstly, self acceptance for the way one is; using EFT for being comfortable with oneself. Secondly applying EFT to remove the blocks to achieving what one wants; these blocks are generally the specific beliefs that are hardwired since childhood. Some of the affirmations used for weight gain were: Even though I am underweight... Within a month of starting therapy his weight increased by 2 kg; this was the first weight gain in the past 2 years. He also gave up his alcohol addiction. It's been 3 weeks now without relapse. He smokes 2 cigarettes now daily and will be giving that up eventually as well. He is able to meet people with very less anxiety now and is able to bring down his work related stress by doing EFT. I will be getting a feedback from him again after one month. GC COMMENT: Nice result. In addition to the above, you can increase the odds of a permanent improvement by aiming EFT at specific events during childhood that may be underlying the problem. This might be considered in future sessions. Here is a short case about using EFT for holding water before Ultra sound One client of mine was very scared of going for ultra sound scans. She had developed this fear because holding water before ultras sounds was very difficult for her. She would start panicking whenever she went for a scan. We did one online EFT session for this problem. The next day when she went for a scan, she kept doing EFT mentally as she was drinking water and used the affirmations that I had given her. Even though I am feeling very full, I choose to be relaxed. After a few rounds she was much more relaxed. However, when she entered the scan room, her anxiety resurfaced. She started tapping silently again and within a few minutes was able to relax. Her ultra sound went smoothly and now she is no longer scared of going for further scans. EFT helps tremendously in achieving a positive transformation and can be used for anything. Also, I feel that grammar does not matter in EFT. One should use words and sentences which one identifies with and not necessarily words or sentences that are grammatically correct. Thanks, Puja
