EFT as it is called for short, is a wonderful new technology based on Chinese
medicine-the energy channels in the body called meridians. Its discovery statement
is that all negative emotions are caused by a disruption in the body's energy
system and uses tapping with your fingertips on specific meridian points to
balance the body's energy system and eliminate the negative emotion. These
are new breakthrough methods that can help you control your fears and negative
emotions, lose weight and eliminate painful memories, recover from addictions,
improve your relationships, overcome procrastination, regain or improve your
health and reach your goals. You can discover your unconscious blocks and
clear them with EFT. While it is not 100% effective, Kallie has a success
rate of around 90% with EFT..
So far, among my many experiences working with EFT, I have found the success rate to be over 90%. A lifelong snake phobia was eliminated in 10 minutes, a day-long headache gone, a two-month back pain gone, a "fuzzy head" gone, fear of success - gone, pain in shoulders - gone, a physicians long-time, over-whelming spider phobia - gone. Four months later she reports she sat and watched a spider spin her web! This physician now refers clients to me. With five minutes of EFT, a woman terrified of cats was petting the cat and two weeks later, was still comfortable with the cat. A young man was relieved of an intense height phobia and a grieving widow experienced a complete transformation in her being when she had her energy system balanced and the irrational grief released. I also had a female victim of a car accident eliminate her face and head pain with EFT and was able to refuse the pain medication the doctors were offering. A woman plagued with nightmares during which her thrashing would wake her husband up is now free after one session. We saw asthma relieved, a middle-age female victim of childhood sexual abuse had her daily anger and sadness eliminated, many phobias relieved, veterans from the Vietnam War with Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome who had been hospitalized for years, had the painful emotions surrounding the memories eliminated. As well, their nightmares were relieved. When people with an addiction wish to change their lives, EFT is an effective support tool. A young firefighter was able with determination, Emotional Freedom Techniques and Emotional Release Therapy to let go of his alcohol and long-standing addiction to over-the-counter pain pills. EFT can be used to free yourself for success in your life and help you to realize your goals. The Toronto Star, on Oct. 6/00, featured a full-page article on a psychiatrist's successful use of this energy therapy.
Have you ever thought about all those New Year's Resolutions you didn't keep? It may have been due to "Psychological Reversal". This is a known concept in EFT and is addressed in the techniques. Removing Psychological Reversal helps to remove your blocks to success in any area of your life-health, wealth, and happiness.

TAPPING INTO A TREND
Do-it-yourself Chinese technique believed to have psychological benefits is gaining acceptance in North America
By Debra Black
Toronto Star Life Writer,
THE TORONTO STAR WEB SITE, OCTOBER 6, 2000
To the uninitiated, tapping looks odd. The gestures may even elicit a giggle from first-time tappers. But this cross between acupuncture and pressure point massage is just one of many techniques from Chinese medicine that is gaining respectability in North America and finding acceptance in the practice of Western medicine and psychiatry.
``Every limiting belief, thought and memory has associated with it a parallel disturbance in your body's meridian,''
explains Dr. Barry Simon, a Toronto psychiatrist and psychoanalyst who has become a student of tapping therapy. He uses it as an adjunct to more conventional therapy. Unlike acupuncture, you do it yourself, says Simon, who studied psychiatry at the University of Toronto and at Columbia University in New York City.
In Chinese medicine, physical illness is believed to be caused by disturbances in the body's meridian system, one of three energy systems in the body. Tapping is based on the theory that psychological problems may be triggered in the same way, says Simon, who did his psychoanalytic training in Toronto. Tapping is basically a hybrid of acupuncture, he says. In acupuncture, needles are applied to various pressure points to release a block in energy in the body. Simon says tapping does the same thing except that it benefits psychological health rather than physical health. If you open up these meridians through tapping, negative and blocking thoughts, beliefs or feelings should dissipate, he says.
`When we do tapping, we try to pump in some energy, while you're thinking about the disturbing thought. ``Part of the cause of negative thoughts is a disturbance in the body's energy system. We're trying to correct that with tapping.''
Simon thinks tapping might work well with psychoanalysis and psychiatry, which helps people see how they view themselves, how they view the world and how that influences their place in the world. Using tapping as therapy requires maybe 10 minutes a day and it can be very effective in reducing stress, he says.
So how does it work? First, you pick a problem you want to work on and and come up with a visual image of that negative feeling or problem, Simon explains.
Once you've done that, you compose an affirmative phrase about yourself. You repeat that affirmation three or four times. Then you focus on a visual image of your negative feeling and tap 10 pressure points on the upper body, including above the eyebrow, under the nose and lip, the collarbone and sternum. After that, you do a series of tapping movements on the hand in conjunction with eye movements, counting and humming. You do the whole sequence four times a day. And then repeat the series of tapping exercises for about a week.
Simon got interested in tapping after he started taking lessons in Tai Chi a couple of years ago. He was fascinated by the body-mind connection and wondered if the peace he felt after doing Tai Chi was something he could bring to his patients. After doing some research, Simon discovered tapping and energy therapy. He eventually took a tapping course for mental health professionals offered by Pennsylvania psychologist Fred Gallo, who has worked in this field for about a decade.
Tapping therapy originated with Australian psychiatrist John Diamond and California psychologist Roger Callaghan who, in the 1980s, set out to combine traditional Western psychology with Chinese acupuncture. Few Toronto psychiatrists or psychoanalysts use the tapping technique yet. And Simon concedes no scientific data or analyses support therapeutic tapping or prove that it works.
``I approach this as an adjunct, part of a comprehensive treatment. This is not a cure per se,'' he says.``If I have a thought about myself and I think I can't do anything about it, I feel helpless about it. That helplessness will manifest itself in both the body and mind.''
So far, Simon has found tapping helpful for many of his clients, particularly
those who experience cravings for food and are frustrated at how long it can
take to lose weight, and who have negative beliefs about themselves. As for
those who are critical of the technique, Simon says they should keep an open
mind. After all, naysayers also once looked down upon the world of psychiatry
and psychoanalysis.

TESTIMONIALS FOR EFT
August 23, 2000
Dear Kallie
Sorry that I haven't contacted you sooner but I was at another cottage on
the weekend up at Tobermory. I went with three of my friends and it was
so spiritual and inspirational and prosperous. Not a lot of sleep as we
were having too much fun.
We partook in a lovely nature walk which was at the provincial park across
the road from where we were staying and we hiked to the Grotto, which is on
the Georgian Bay side and the Grotto itself is a cave which you have to
climb down to. On the way to this sight, Brent pointed out a full-grown
garter snake which was a couple of feet away from
me.
Kallie, I remained calm, my heart did not race, I did not panic or faint,
or have those feelings which I experienced when I saw the one at Janice's.
I actually stood there and watched it do its thing. It was marvelous. I
did not have the confidence to pick it up, but if someone had held it for
me, I believe I could have pet it.
I have been using tapping for headaches and have found them to be
effective. I have also shared the technique with some of my friends as
well.
Thanks Dear Kallie
God's Blessings

I am not a skeptic by nature. I'm a 31 year old woman who has been open to trying a lot of different things in hopes of fixing my ailing body.
As I sat and listened to the EFT lecture, I wondered how and why it could work. Tapping on pressure points seemed interesting and with affirmations, I just wondered how it could all connect.
At the end of the talk, I sat in the chair up at the front. I was being open, yet still not expecting anything. Kallie started the sequence of tapping. 1st. Round, I didn't feel anything. 2nd. Round, I felt more comfortable doing it but didn't physically feel anything then on her 3rd time around, I couldn't believe it. Our goal was to get rid of a backache that has been affecting me for a month from a car accident. I felt an incredible heat flush over my body in every direction. My back felt normal again. I was so delighted. I burst out in laughter. That was incredible results.

I used EFT successfully with my 24 year old daughter on Christmas Eve. She
had tendonitis from a recent work injury and was in
a wrist brace. Her SUDs rating was 7-8 and she was having difficulty holding
anything in her one hand. We did two rounds of EFT and reduced it to a level
of 1. It continues to remain at the level 1-2.
Thanks,
Lyn West
Please share the following: In addition to using EFT with clients and always with successful relief, I have also used it on myself successfully for back pains/sciatica. I have been recently diagnosed with cataracts and since I have been tapping I "see" a definite improvement in my vision. I will be giving an inservice course to a group of nurses and nurse practitioners on stress. Some of them already know of my involvement with EFT and are looking forward to incorporating this technique in their professional and personal lives.

I have used EFT for 2-3 months. I have seen impressive results in the relief of physical symptoms. I myself had a chronic shoulder pain with symptoms consistent with fibromyalgia. I had seen a chiropractor and took OTC pain relief meds almost daily for the muscle pain. I targeted the shoulder pain with EFT and got relief within two rounds. I have had mild discomfort in the shoulder since then that quickly resolves with short rounds.
I also used EFT with a client who had been in a serious auto accident. Her Jeep Cherokee had been totaled and she was removed from the vehicle with the jaws of life. She came to my office hunched over with back and neck pain. I used EFT and within 2-3 rounds, she did not have the pain.
Last story! A close friend damaged her knee and had reconstructive surgery. For Christmas, she came to a dinner party. It was obvious that she was in serious pain, but also depressed about her inability to move around as she used to. After everyone else left, I asked her if she would like me to try EFT and she agreed. Within minutes her face lifted and she said the pain was gone. She had more range of motion than ever before. I also targeted her feeling "overwhelmed" and she became tearful, but this, too, subsided. She left stating she felt better than she had since the accident, she moved more easily and she SMILED. Days and weeks later, she is still doing well.
I have had some physical conditions in clients that did not improve with EFT, but usually there is great relief.

...personally, I have used EFT to reduce my menstrual cramp pain by more than 50%; i.e. I take about 25 - 50% less pain medication. I am frequently able to tap away cramping and when I can't, I need less medication to do the job for me.
Best wishes,
Mary Sheridan
I have had several experiences of using EFT to resolve physical pain for myself and my family, but I will not bore you with these. Two dramatic incidents occurred with clients recently. A moderately retarded individual I know, who had recently had knee surgery, fell down the stairs just as his knee had begun to heal. He was so traumatized by this experience that he refused to walk at all (I already posted a description of the full case). In treating him for his fear of climbing the stairs, it was necessary to treat him for the pain in his knee. Two series of EFT were necessary to completely resolve this pain. After almost 3 months, this pain has not returned.
My partner and I worked with an executive secretary who had experienced chronic pain for many years as a result of long term steroid use. She had pain in her shoulder, chest, back and especially in her foot. She stated that she had a bone spur in her foot which caused almost unbearable pain. We had her focus on each of these areas and quickly resolved all of the pain except that in her foot. The pain in her foot took several rounds but did finally resolve. To test this we had her running up and down the stairs where we work. She was able to do this with no pain and without getting out of breath.
This treatment was done over four months ago. The only pain which has returned is some residual pain in her foot which so far she has not felt the need to treat again. Hope this is helpful.

In my practice, I have helped people with many physical issues using only EFT. Sometimes, I have witnessed spontaneous remissions of pain while working on emotional issues or on entirely different physical issues. My clients have experienced relief from pain and discomfort relating to the following:
headaches
neck stiffness
PMS
allergies
asthma
Fibromyalgia
hiccups
stomach cramps
hangovers
postoperative discomfort
Stephanie Y. Rothman, CHT
I've used it [EFT] very successfully with a woman diagnosed with fibromyalgia. The technique helped not only in relieving her pain, but in increasing her feelings of energy and motivation. This was during a period when there had been no changes in her diet, medication, or usual pattern of activities, and the changes happened rapidly, so I'm relatively sure the EFT was responsible.
I have also been happy with some preliminary work with a person whose arthritis pain was impeding therapy. Regards,
Ken Barclay, MS, MHP
I have used EFT successfully in a number of cases of chronic pain, including:
1) Back pain - One of the Vietnam Veterans in a group I was running suffered from chronic ongoing lower back pain. During one session we did one round of the EFT shortcut sequence on this and his response was an incredulous "It's gone! How did you do that?" He then spent the remainder of the session trying to bring his pain back or check whether it would recur - which it didn't - at least for the remainder of the session (approx. 1 hour)!
2) Shoulder pain - After about 3 rounds of EFT, a colleague reported that his shoulder pain from playing tennis, which had constantly plagued him was down from a 6 to "about a 2".
3) Migraine headache - A participant in one of my Healthy Living groups had a severe headache, which she expected to follow its normal course and turn into a migraine. 3 rounds of EFT and the pain was gone.
4) Knee pain - A colleague to whom I was explaining EFT found that most of her emotional pain became concentrated in her knee. Whilst working on her emotional issues, the knee pain became first more intense, then gradually lessened and went away.
These are just some examples. Regards,
Steve Wells
I worked with a woman last summer who was experiencing a tremendous amount of stress in her life. She told me that as the stress-level had intensified, she'd developed ongoing pain in her lower back and left leg, which had been troubling her for a number of weeks. She had been checked out medically without anything being found, so I referred her to an osteopath whom I respected. We worked on some of the issues related to the stress, but I did not attempt to use EFT for the pain during that first appointment.
When I met with her the following week, the pain had intensified and was accompanied by some numbness in her leg. Since she was to be medically re-evaluated (by the osteopath) in just another few days, I suggested we try some EFT tapping for the pain. (I had not had much experience using EFT for pain, so we approached it as an experiment.) We were both delighted when the pain diminished to 0 after just two rounds of the EFT process. The numbness was reduced but did not clear completely.
The following week, she reported that the pain had increased only slightly by the time she saw the osteopath. After the osteopathic treatment, both the pain and the numbness were gone, and she has had no recurrence of these symptoms.
I have since used EFT to treat less dramatic instances of pain (headaches, sore muscles, eye strain), usually with very good results.
Warmest regards,
Callie Currier, M.A.
A colleague and friend of mine is a childhood diabetic. Ten years ago he had a serious bout with his eyes and seemed to be losing his sight. In October 97 he went to his doctor who said that things looked bad and he wanted to see him in December and if things weren't better, it looked like another round of laser surgery was in order. My friend felt that the original laser surgery had made things worse and it was very traumatic for him. I suggested that he do EFT for "the pressure in my eyes" every day without looking for a suds scale. He did, agreeing that at this point he would try anything. He returned to the Doctor in December and was told that he would not need to be seen again for six months!
Pretty amazing, this stuff!

I have had a few experiences with treating pain:
A nurse was limping one morning and complained that she would have to take ibuprofen to make it through the day. She had twisted her foot and had a mild sprain. I showed her how to do EFT for the pain and it went to zero. She told me later that it did not return the entire day.
I was treating a lady for public speaking anxiety. In the middle of the tapping, she looked startled and exclaimed, "My terrible headache just went away!" Her speaking anxiety was also eliminated.
I was doing an EFT demonstration to a group. I mentioned that it might work on pain and one man volunteered to do a demonstration. He struggled to his feet and explained that he had arthritis in both knees and rated the pain at an 8. After one round of tapping, he said the stiffness was gone and the pain was down to a 1. He was delighted and started doing knee bends in front of the group.
While I was treating the arthritis case above, unknown to me, another man was tapping along. He later told me that he had considerable pain from diabetic neuropathy but it simply went away when he tapped.
I trained a nurse in EFT who related the following. She had a post-op patient who was in considerable pain despite being given all the analgesics the doctor prescribed. (She was also complaining loudly.) The nurse stayed after her shift ended and showed the patient how to do EFT. Her pain went to zero and stayed there through the night, much to the relief of the patient and the nursing staff. The next day, the nurse found the patient happily tapping away when the slightest discomfort arose.
These are not all chronic and I did not make an effort to do long-term follow-up, but then painkillers are not long-term either.

Below is an excerpt from a post of mine from early November. Most people wanted some form of pain relief, only a few were interested in fear/phobia. I'll be back in my office on Monday and check my records for any other supporting material.
At a health fair last Saturday, I worked with 22 people in five hours. The chair was always full. Some were eager, others curious, others outright disbelievers. One man watch with militant disbelief (his words) as I helped his wife get rid of a building migraine (8 to 0). He then sat down (!) and asked if there was anything I could do for the constant pain of a heel spur he had been living with for two years. I tapped on him (intuitively it seemed to me more believable for him than self-treatment) and the pain resolved to zero. He and his wife came by several hours later, still smiling. Blessings,
Mike Wright
Although my license doesn't permit me to treat medical problems, I have used EFT on myself and family. The best result for me is that I have reduced my medication for my hiatal hernia by more than 50% over the course of a year. In fact, my incidents of distress have also greatly reduced.
Gloria Arenson
Once a week, I volunteer at a Distress Centre for people in crisis. Yesterday, one young woman called with a crisis and mentioned, as an aside, that she suffered from fibromyalgia. I asked her if she would like to try something for it - she said "sure". We tapped for about 3 rounds when she giggled and commented that she sure lucked out when she got me as her counsellor. Said she felt great - no pain and her depression went with it. Heady stuff.
Some time ago, I dropped in to visit a friend at her shop - she's a designer - and she was on her way home as she was feeling "nauseous, headachey and just plain blah". I asked her if she'd try a weird new technique - she agreed. We did setup, tapped, gamut, etc. & after 4 sessions she felt better - just tired - said she was impressed. I told her to do it herself when she got home. Sorry, I didn't follow up.
One of the aerobic instructors, where I work out, mentioned to me that his
mother, who was visiting from France was suffering from shingles
(she was stressed and distressed due to a death in the family). I told him
that I'd fax him a copy of the Basic Recipe and when he was familiar with
the pressure points and had taught them to his mother, he could call me and
I'd work with her. He did and I did and after 3 or 4 rounds she was feeling
much better - rash still there but pain and irritation way down. Her emotional
state was also much improved. I told him to continue the tapping with her.
This was just recently and we still have more to do-if he calls me back, that
is. Still, pretty good, I think.
Another one: Today, as I was driving, I felt a cramp beginning
in my foot. They can get quite excruciating. I tapped on the CB &
UE points, a few times each - and that was it - GONE. I didn't say anything
aloud, just concentrated on the cramp - (and on my driving, of course). Powerful
stuff.
I'm now going to try to cure my husband of his snoring - a hydraulic drill is music compared to the sounds that accost me nightly. I'll keep you posted - if it doesn't work, my next post will be from jail.

I have used EFT at several occasions with headaches, in which cases it offered fast relief. Also with joint problems, digestion problems, nausea and a yeast infection. One very clear case has been my own allergy for cats, a life-long history. Last year I visted a friend in Iowa, who has a cat. Within ten minutes I got an acute asthma attack, which I even had to treat with steroids. This year I visited him in his new flat in Brooklyn: same cat, same allergic reaction. The difference: 3 rounds of the Basic Recipe, all the symptoms vanished within a few minutes. I could just stay and continue our discussion for hours. Hope this helps.

When I was first learning EFT, I recruited as many of the staff in my office
as I could to "try" this new thing...Very skeptically they came
in with their phobias, fears aches and pains etc. Two of the most memorable
ones though were from the psychiatrists who work with me. One had severe
back pain for which she had been taking pain killers for months. She
was on her way to get her noon dose, and agreed to a round of EFT. After one
or two rounds her pain was completely eliminated and it has not reoccured
(it's been several months now). The other psychiatrist had TMJ
and rated it as a 7 at the moment. With a few rounds that was eliminated.
That held for at least a few weeks, I haven't checked with him lately so I'm
not sure if it still holds, I informed him that if he held his stress in his
jaw it could return, but to just use EFT to release it. They walked away puzzled,
and are now using EFT with their own patients!! Warmly,
Mary Sise, CSW
When my wife has a headache she reaches for me and EFT now instead of Tylenol or ibuprofen. Two to three rounds of EFT always eliminate her headaches.
My three year old daughter, Leah, recently had a rash on both her hands. We put lotion on it, but she complained of her hands hurting. Two rounds of EFT and the pain was gone and she was off to sleep in a few minutes. In the morning the rash was largely gone. OF COURSE, had the rash persisted in the morning, we would have called the pediatrician.
EFT is not a substitute for medical attention, just a good adjunct. I successfully treated a client who kept overdoing it on a bum knee. EFT helped him give himself permission to rest the knee so that it would heal.
My wife has suffered from sea sickness for many years. Alas, my agency's 25th anniversary party was to take place on a riverboat restaurant sailing up and down the Delaware River. EFT to the rescue. We treated her issue of sea sickness a week or so before the dinner in our home. No treatment was even necessary the evening of the cruise or on the cruise. She had no symptoms at all, not even queasiness. Regards,
Jeff Bakely
As has already been reported I have worked with clients and my family members for physical complaints with an outlook on "try it on everything" and see what happens. To this end the following physical complaints have had significant reduction with a suds going to 1 or 0.
Period cramps, tension headaches, blurred vision, sleeping pattern going to a full night's sleep ( this hadn't occurred for the person for 5 years), reduction in physical exhaustion, viruses, return of normal menstrual cycle. Also my 4 year old had never slept the whole night through until I started tapping after prayers - she now sleeps through to 5-6:00 am and then comes for a visit.
I have found the responses very encouraging and extremely consistent. I think it's great and am proud to belong to this group of practitioners. Everyone have a lovely day!!! Kind regards,
Darryl Dewar
Like the rest of you, I have been using EFT on everything and have had some jaw droppingly awesome results. I can't remember all the people with pain who have been helped by the EFT algorithm, but I'll try to summarize the ones that stick out in my mind.
A very close friend of mine has arthritis that has caused her a lot of pain, and as a result she has had to curtail some of the exercise that she used to regularly engage in to keep herself strong and to keep her joints flexible. In the winter here in northern MN, it is often necessary to use indoor exercise equipment like NordicTrack, and she found that because of her pain she would have to stop after five or ten minutes. I taught her EFT, and now she just taps when the pain starts and keeps going without pain for a full half hour. (Her doctor knows about this and thinks it's a good idea, but thinks the benefit is "all in her head" anyway).
I was referred a self-described "broken down athlete" who is also diagnosed DID by her psychiatrist for hypnotic treatment of her pain that she was constantly experiencing. She was a virtuoso (virtuosa?) hypnotic subject as would be expected from someone diagnosed DID, and was generally able to do wonderful things with most of her pain through hypnosis (which I used first because that's what she was referred for and because I enjoy it so much, especially when working with someone with great talent). There were still some areas of pain that did not respond to the hypnotic approach, however, so I suggested we try this other approach (EFT) and she was pleased to leave the office without pain. I taught her the algorithm to use at home, and in a follow-up phone call this week, about four months after our last meeting, she indicated that she still uses the algorithm when she needs it, which is getting less and less frequently, and she is enjoying freedom from pain she has had for years.
I have used EFT with pain resulting from motor vehicle accidents, burns, fibromyalgia, tmj (this latter case had been through a university pain clinic and a tmj program including biofeedback without significant relief before EFT), and many other conditions. Hope this helps. Jonathan Speare
Have not used EFT specifically for pain reduction. I have one client who suffers from fibromyalgia and when we did EFT for some emotional issues, she mentioned that some of the pain in her shoulder seemed reduced. I hope to address her chronic pain soon - she has been in emotional crisis and that was a priority. I've printed a number of the case studies to share with her. One of the issues we will probably have to deal with is whether she believes that she deserves to be free of pain.
Susan Hykes
I have used EFT with many different physical conditions as well as pain with
great success. The one that stands out in my memory is the client who had
fibromyalgia for at least a year. She had tried many
different therapies; she said that the one that helped the most was acupuncture
but even that was not sufficient. She was at that time using morphine and
two other pain medicines for some relief. Considering that EFT and acupuncture
use the same energy system, I thought it was worth a try.
She told me that the day before she had a massage of her arms with no relief
at all of the excruciating pain afterward. She also said that she felt that
she had let God down by being so ill that she could do the work that she was
supposed to do (teach small children). After that broad hint I asked her to
tap the side of her hand and say "I accept myself even though I have
this disease". Immediately she had no pain in either arm! She was amazed
as you can imagine. We completed the EFT process and the remainder of her
pain in her neck and shoulders also left her.
I followed up with her the next week and she reported that her relief lasted only 1-2 hours at a time. She repeated the treatment as often as necessary during the day and if she wakes in pain always with immediate relief. She was able to decrease the amount of pain meds she was taking and greatly enjoyed the control she had over her pain that she had never had before.

TELEPHONE CONSULTATIONS
with Kallie P. Miller, R.N., EFT-CC
With phone consultations, the client pays for the phone call (minimum one
hour charge ). This hour may be all that is needed as you could proceed by
yourself after that. However, for complex problems, it has been found that
two people working together with the intention of healing may have more power.
Sometimes it takes a professional to be aware of aspects of the problem you
will be denying and a few sessions may be required.
If you are interested or have further questions, please or telephone Kallie P. Miller, RN, EFT-CC at 519-471-6234. We can have a free 15 minute discussion in order for you to decide if you want to pursue EFT sessions. EFT works in many surprising situations. We do EFT on anything and often have pleasantly surprising results. Satisfaction is guaranteed.
When you make an appointment with me I will email or fax you a diagram to save time in your session. I get great joy from sharing EFT.
