Miracle cure or inner gardening?

Wouldn’t it be nice if we could use a technique like a magic wand, do a ‘Harry Potter’ on our woes and banish them for good with a simple spell? Unfortunately life isn’t often like that, sometimes is just one thing after another. Even Harry Potter has a long series of adventures and challenges to take care of.

At times EFT can have spectacular results, relieving a deep trauma in less than an hour, or removing a phobia in just a few minutes, such changes can be transforming. More often though, changing your life for the better requires a more sustained effort. When Gulliver was washed up on Lilliput he woke up on the beach finding himself immobilised, not by one huge rope, but by hundreds of thin threads. Even though the Lilliputian ropes where like threads to him, in combination they held him fast.

Many of our difficulties are like this, interwoven threads that bind us, Using EFT we can begin to part those threads, each time giving us a bit more room to manoeuvre. For this slow and steady work EFT is much more like gardening than a magic wand.

The purpose of the EFT Cafe is to do inner gardening in good company. Whether it’s pruning the roses or shovelling the sh… (ahem) .. manure. It’s a good place to meet up with fellow inner gardeners, swap stories and techniques and become happier and more contented. As a free bonus, if you are happier and contented the chances are the people around you will be too.
