EFT Essentials

The article section will explain the mechanics of different healing methods, and so as we go along, I shall point to: EFT , Essential Oils or Herbal Teas and know that you have access to the essentials, which will make it easy for you to follow what I am saying.

Accidents

There is no such thing as an accident, if the event results in injury to your person, then it is caused by anger. Just because it is directed at the self, doesn’t make it any less painful.

Levels of Accident

There are 3 levels of accident:

1. Minor
2. Life threatening trauma
3. Leading to death

Some people seem to be “accident prone”, while others go for a lifetime without getting a scratch.

The Level:3

The strongest level is 3. This results from poor teaching, which can be from many sources, ensuring that the brain is programmed to behave in a self-destructive way.

The Level:2

The type 2 person who suffers a traumatic, life threatening accident, has also received programming which will ensure this happens, but this person will not die. The sort of pain which they will choose for themselves will be: broken bones, burns that scar, perhaps loss of an eye or limb.

The Level: 1

The type 1s are the most common, and most of us will experience: bumps, cuts, bruises and sprains that heal quickly, just leaving us with the memory of pain.

Parts Of The Body

Every part of the body has significance and reason behind its trauma or loss, and our dominant thoughts will create the accident to suit the body part.

We won’t go through life saying,”Today, I want to have an accident, but because of this old programming, we do have the mental patterns that will attract an accident to us.

The Body

Not every mental equivalent is 100% true for everyone. However, it does give a point of reference to be able to begin the search for the cause of the dis-ease.

The Head: We feel that something is wrong with us

The Eyes: Something we don’t want to see about our lives, past, present or future

The Neck: Usually means that we are being stubborn about our own concept of the situation

The Throat: Not believing in our own power

The Arms: Represent our ability, or not, to change direction

The Hands: Fear of loss

Fingers: Each has individual meaning:-
Index finger- anger and fear
Thumb - worry about someone/something
Middle finger - has to do with sex and anger
Ring finger - both unions and grief
Little finger - has to do with family and pretending
The Back
Represents our support system…….Problems with the back usually mean that we feel that we are not being supported.

• Upper Back - lack of emotional support
• Middle Back - guilt
• Lower Back - finances a mess and feeling “burnt out”

Legs: Fear of moving forward

Knees: Wanting to move forward but not wanting to change our ways

Feet: Not understanding out own lives, past, present or future

Skin: Individuality being threatened

What Accidents Are
All accidents are expressions of anger. They are an acting out of the built- up frustrations resulting from not feeling the freedom to speak up for ourselves.

Our Rebel Selves
Accidents also show the world that, we too, can rebel against authority. We are so angry that we would like to hit out at someone. If our programming is for type 3 accidents then we may have a fatal car crash. Type 2 will ensure that we get hit!

Anger And Guilt

When we are angry at ourselves, when we feel guilty, when we feel the need for punishment, an accident is the ideal way of dealing with the need for pain.

Not Our Fault

We want it to seem that any accident is not our fault, that we are helpless victims (see: Diana Princess of Wales: Drama Triangle pt.1)

We can then turn to others for sympathy and attention. More often than not, we receive the attention we crave because we have surrounded ourselves with a support system who also get their reward from playing this game. (see: Drama Triangle again)

Tea And Sympathy
And so, we get our wounds dressed, and sometimes we get bed-rest, in the case of broken or lost limbs, for extended periods of time. What we also get is Pain!

Most are Type 1

Thankfully most of us are type 1, which means bumps, bruises, minor cuts and sprains are normal. These little hurts will all heal quickly with a little tender loving care: and as usual the best place to start with that is EFT (see: EFT: Essentials)

Emotional Freedom Technique

• Even though my finger (head, knee, toe, head etc.) is sore I love and accept myself
• Even though I have bruised (head, knee, toe, head etc.) I love and accept myself
• Even though my finger (head, knee, toe, head etc.) is bleeding I love and accept myself
• Even though I want to rebel against authority I love accept and forgive myself
• Even though I want to rebel and believe that this is the only way I can do it I love and forgive myself

Affirmations: (Subscribe via. email and receive Free Affirmation Guide Book)

• I release the pain in me that created this
• I am at peace
• I am worthwhile
• In my world I am my own authority
• I am the only one that thinks in my mind

Herbalism:

1. Arnica and Comfrey creams and ointments help bruises to heal. Don’t use on broken skin
2. A frozen cube of distilled Witch hazel applied directly to the bruise with bandage heals bruises
3. A handful of Daisies can be held against the bruise to reduce pain and swelling
4. Daisies made into a poultice or compress
5. Wintergreen ointment brings relief to torn muscles

Cuts:A minor injury that permits the escape of blood: This may lead to infection so shouldn’t be neglected.

Treatment: If the wound is a small puncture wash with ‘real’ soap and tepid water, pat dry with clean towel. Wipe with distilled extract of Witch Hazel.

OR: Solution of St John’s Wort (Hypericum) tincture

OR: 1 tsp. of Marigold (Calendula) tincture to a cup of sterile water

Cover wound with dry sterile dressing.

Literally hundreds of natural substances promote healing, these include:

• Myrrh
• Echinacea
• Cinnamon
• Chamomile

Aromatherapy (see: 13 Tips to Use Essential Oils)

• 5 drops of Cypress, Mint or Lavender essential oil blended with 2 tsps. (10 ml) soya oil is good for smoothing gently into bruised areas.

Caution: Seek help from your trusted health practitioner for severe swelling or pain - you may have a fracture. Also a Haematoma (bleeding immediately below the skin) may need draining to release stagnant blood.
