You probably know that people of African heritage are at statistically higher risk of

diabetes
high blood pressure and stroke.

But did you know that we are also twice as likely to suffer from

Alzheimers disease?

Every year, many people die from using prescription drugs. Everyone is at higher risk of
developing cancer, particularly cancer of the kidneys, from using prescription painkillers.
For more information, see: Painkillers Triple Your Cancer Risk.

This ebook contains lots of information about how EFT is used successfully to provide
PAIN RELIEF WITHOUT DRUGS.

Energy Healing
Energy medicine can be highly effective for many people. Some methods of energy
medicine include:

Acupuncture
Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)
Spiritual Response Therapy (SRT)
Reiki.

I wrote quite a bit about SRT in Success Strategies for Black People, so I am not going to
say any more about this here.

The way energy healing works is as follows: all difficulties, including mental and physical
health problems, are caused by energy blocks. In EFT, these are known as energy
disruptions. In SRT, they are called programs.

When the energy block, i.e. energy disruption or program, is removed, the problem
disappears. For more about this, see: How to Get the Results You Want. For the link,
see the Resources section below.

If you have a problem in your outer world for example, problems with your relationships,
your home, your family, your workplace, or financial or money issues - there is always
some kind of energy block in your inner world. The outer is a reflection of the inner, and
vice versa.

For more about this, see: Eliminating Blocks and Obstacles in the Resources section
below.

Please note: although this booklet is provided for Black readers, the methods described
here can be applied by anyone.
 Healing Journeys
The mind, body and emotions form a complete, holistic system. Healing journeys by
Zhana are audios which use the power of your mind to help you to remove blocks and
obstacles so that you can achieve your goals. These healing journeys are very relaxing

Emotional Freedom Technique

Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), also known as meridian tapping, is based on
traditional Chinese medicine. It involves tapping on particular acupuncture points in a
particular sequence, while saying certain statements. It uses no needles and no drugs.

EFT is very easy and quick to learn and to use. It is highly effective in helping us to bring
about positive change - and even fabulous success.

Energy medicine, in the form of acupuncture, has been around for thousands of years.
Meridian tapping is a modern, 21st century take on it.

By using EFT, we can reduce, and even eliminate, pain.

EFT can help us make dramatic shifts in our thinking and emotional responses which can
bring about positive changes in our lives. In this booklet, Gary Craig, inventor of
EFT, introduces cases of people using EFT for pain relief.

Below are three articles originally published by Gary Craig, the founder of EFT. The end of
this ebook also contains loads of resources.

To book an individual, personalised EFT tapping session, or for a free consultation, see the
Resources section below.

Before using EFT or any other healing method, always remember that YOU are
responsible for your own healing.

Arthritis pain vanishes

Hi, everyone.

This brief account by Rev. Samuel Wood from Puerto Rico reminds us how effective EFT
can be on something serious like arthritis, even in the hands of a beginner.

Hugs, Gary

Gary,
I just received the basic course less than a week ago. After reading the manual and going
thru about 1/2 of the DVDs, I decided to try it with my wife who suffers from arthritis pain.
Twice we have dealt with specific pain. Both times, I used the full basic formula. Each time,
the pain was a "10". Each time, after two or three rounds, the pain ended up a "0".

I am a pastor/chaplain trained in traumatology. I am excited about the power of EFT to

shortcut weeks and months of counseling and thus shortening the suffering that many of
my "clients" are going through.

I will be ordering the advanced material shortly. Thank you for your generosity in sharing
such a wonderful technology.

Using EFT for Shingles

EFT's impressive ability to approach ailments from both emotional and energetic directions
shows up once again with a success for shingles. Nancy Gnecco gives us a detailed
account of her personal experience with this painful affliction.

***
The condition known as shingles is a very painful, slow to heal variety of the chicken pox
virus that effects adults who have had chicken pox. Once the person has had the pox,
often in childhood, the virus lies dormant in the body until sometime in adulthood when the
immune system has been compromised--often by stress. It then erupts in a rash of
excruciating, itchy, fluid filled lesions, the pain from which often lasts between three and
five weekssometimes longer. Pain medication is usually offered, and the doctor
may prescribe antiviral drugs.

Over the weekend, I had begun to experience a tingling on my tailbone that quickly
became itchy. By Sunday, blisters had begun to form, and the itchiness had developed into
unrelenting pain. I couldnt sit, or lie on my back. I also developed a headache, and a
general feeling of malaise. I didnt know what it was, but it was clearly going to require
medical treatment.

I had a regularly scheduled appointment with the Energy Psychotherapist with whom I had
been working on weight reduction and my relationship with food. I was in so much
pain that I simply couldnt sit in the chair she offered me. I told her about my condition, and
we made the decision to abandon the food issues temporarily and try to heal the rash
on my tailbone. We still didnt know that it was shingles. We looked at the symptoms and
tried working with them as metaphors. I was asked...

"Is there any place in your life where you might be acting or feeling "rash?" "If there
were an emotional cause of this rash, what might it be?" "what in your life is causing
you excruciating pain?"

It took practically no time at all to discover that I was in a lot of emotional pain regarding
the relationship with my eldest son, who had graduated from Duke Law School in May. He
needed to get a job. (I needed for him to get a job). We had been supporting him for
months while he studied to pass the legal bar exam which would make him eligible for a
position as an associate in a law firm. There had been conflict between us about whether
or not he should take a part time job to defray some of the costs to his father and me. I
was also feeling resentful since there were things I could not do or buy while we were
supporting him.

His father and I were both working hard, and in my view, he was not. Later, I found out
that studying for this exam was the hardest thing he had ever done, and that he was
literally studying eighteen hours a day. In my frustration, I acted in a manner that was
"rash". I, essentially, told him that we would cut off all financial support as of May 30th ,
whether he had a job or not.

He had taken the bar exam in February, and it was now April - plenty of time, in my
estimation, for him to have found some job, even if it wasnt the perfect job in a law firm. As
it got closer to May and we had very little communication about his efforts to secure a job,
my anxiety was escalating. I was imagining the worst possible outcome, and I developed
the shingles.
Here are some of the statements that we cleared during my
therapy session on Monday:

Even though I have this rash on my tailbone

Even though I am in excruciating pain about my relationship with my son
Even though my telling him that we were going to cut all financial support in May
was, perhaps rash, especially since I hadnt discussed it with his father
Even though what I really I want is to give J. a kick in the butt, but wont, and Ive
developed a rash on mine instead
Even though Im embarrassed to have a rash on my butt
Even though this rash is extremely painful.
Even though I dont know what this rash is about
Even though I cant sit on the exercise machines at the gym

The next day was Tuesday, and I had an early morning appointment to see my doctor. I
wondered if I should even keep the appointment since I was feeling noticeably better
that morning. However, I decided that, since I didnt know what I was dealing with, it would
be in my best interests to keep the appointment with the doctor. When she saw the
rash, the pustules had scabbed over, and the redness around them was practically gone. I
could even sit in the chair in the examination room, something that would have
been impossible the day before.

My doctor asked how long Id had the rash, and was astounded that Id only had it for four
days. She commented that the healing was at the stage where she would expect it
to have been at least three weeks. Since it was healing so rapidly she didnt give me any
medication, although the option of pain medication was available if I wanted it. There
was no need. By Wednesday the scabs had healed and by Friday (one week to the day
from its eruption), I was totally well.

This demonstrates, once again, how stress can compromise the immune system, making
us vulnerable to many diseases. I believe it is a testament to the power of the mind-body
connection both to create disease, and to heal it. Having now researched shingles, and
having an idea about the course of the disease, I am certain that the EFT was the
direct cause of the physical healing.

 Link between Pain and Unresolved Emotions

Eric Robins, MD explains how a chronic pain expert links pain and unresolved
emotions.

Hi everyone,

Long time EFT-er Eric Robins, MD discusses the work of health pioneer John Sarno and
tells us how emotions are a central cause for pain. We are quite familiar with that notion,
of course, having reduced thousands of people's pain by collapsing emotional issues. Dr.
Robins says,

Also, I'm sure its obvious to you that some of the methods he [Sarno] was using to
handle emotional issues are archaic compared to the speed and efficiency of EFT.
We could be expected to get better results and faster with EFT, which is the best
and fastest mind-body healing technique in clinical use in the world right now.

Hugs,
Gary

By Eric Robins, M.D.

John Sarno, MD is a professor of physical medicine at NYU, and sees the worst chronic
pain patients in the world. Most have had severe pain (neck, back, shoulder, buttocks) for
10 to 30 yrs, most have had multiple epidural injections, one or more surgeries, and years
of physical therapy. They all had terrible mechanisms of action (like a forklift truck falling
on them or a 747 jet rolling over them), and all their x-rays look like the "Elephant Man", so
they seemingly have a good reason for their pain.

With this cohort of patients, he has a 70% cure rate (with regard to both pain and function),
and an additional 15% of his patients are much improved (i.e., 40 - 80% better). And
he has had these results with about 12,000 patients. The typical pain patient comes in
and usually the doctor will order an MRI scan, and invariably this shows some sort of
anatomic abnormality like a slipped disc or spinal stenosis or spinal arthritis. And the
doctor will usually say, for example, "It's the disc that is causing your pain." Then
therapy is aimed at treating the disc, with poor long-term results.

Sarno looked at the literature and noticed that if you take 100 middle-aged people with NO
back pain and do an MRI scan, 65% have a slipped disc or spinal stenosis, and NO
pain (New England Journal of Medicine article 1994). So he began to ask himself, "If it's
not the disc that is causing the pain, then what is causing the pain?"

What he found is that these people had chronic tension and spasm of the muscles of the
neck, back, shoulder, or buttocks. He says that when a muscle is chronically tensed,
the blood can't flow through it, there is a relative lack of oxygen, and that this causes
severe pain. You can also imagine a tensed muscle clamping down on a nerve giving
symptoms of sciatica.

An important point here is that he is not telling patients the pain is all in their heads, he is
giving a true physiological explanation for it. However, once we just go up a couple of
logical levels in the next paragraph, you'll see the connection to the emotions.
Then Sarno asked the question, "Why would someone have chronically tensed muscles to
begin with?" His explanation is as follows. He says that many of us grow up in families and
learn, at a certain (unconscious) level, that its not okay to feel or express our anger or
anxiety.

The problem of course is that when we grow up, we have specific events or traumas that
elicit anger or anxiety. As these emotions start to come up in our body, our unconscious
mind basically says, "It's not okay or safe to be feeling these things." Then, Sarno says,
the unconscious mind will cause the muscles to clamp down and tighten to cause a pain to
take our minds off of what we are angry or anxious about. Sometimes this pain/ process
can last decades.

How Sarno would get his amazing results is by bringing folks in for 2 lectures. In the first
lecture he'd tell folks, "It's not the disc or spinal stenosis, or other anatomic abnormality
that's causing your pain. Most people your age with no pain have a slipped disc or spinal
stenosis, etc. What is causing your pain is chronic tension and spasm of the muscles.
Blah, blah, blah."

In the second lecture he'd tell them, "When you have pain, I want you to notice what you're
angry or anxious about."

Sarno then describes how he'd have folks write in a journal, or enroll in group therapy
sessions, or engage in psychotherapy. He says that about 20% of his patients weren't
consciously aware of what they were angry or anxious about, and needed to work with a
therapist to get in touch with some repressed or unconscious material.

I explain Sarno's model when I speak because of the fact that he gets such amazing
results, and of course the proof is in the pudding. In one of his more recent books, he
explains that this emotional model is not just about musculoskeletal pain, but can be used
for most chronic or functional illnesses. Also, I'm sure its obvious to you that some of the
methods he was using to handle emotional issues are archaic compared to the speed and
efficiency of EFT. We could be expected to get better results and faster with EFT, which is
the best and fastest mind-body healing technique in clinical use in the world right now.
