Monday, September 26, 1 p.m. – 3 p.m., Orcas Senior Center
— from Arron Redford —
On Monday, September 26 from 1 p.m. – 3 p.m., the Orcas Senior Center will be host an introductory EFT workshop (Emotional Freedom Technique) presented by Nancy Southern, MSW. Nancy is an EFT practitioner and creative life coach and has designed this workshop to empower you to begin to use this technique as a first aid tool for your daily life.
EFT incorporates an emotional element with the tapping process; addressing unresolved emotional memories as a likely cause of physical disease, psychological dysfunction, and personal performance limitations. Old negative emotional experiences can disrupt the energy meridians that run through your body. The physical evidence we feel from those disruptions, including pain, nausea, tension or anxiety, can affect the way you react to the world around you.
This workshop is your opportunity to learn its history, how to use it, and experience it for yourself. It has been used successfully to treat a wide variety of distress in mind, body and spirit. EFT has been useful in relieving phobias such as fear of heights, public speaking, fear of snakes or other critters, as well as food or tobacco cravings, chronic pain, unresolved anger or prolonged grief. Properly applied, EFT can realign the negative energy and discontinue the discomfort that it causes. Other related symptoms often decrease or no longer bother you in the same way as before.
This class is subsidized by grant funding and costs only $5 for members and $15 for non-members, please pre-register at the front desk or by calling 376-2677.
Nancy’s a great teacher/therapist…some of you may know her from when she lived on Orcas (She’s now in Bellingham). I have benefitted immensely from practicing EFT. It’s a discipline you can successfully do yourself, but like Yoga, there’s more motivation and energy involved when you develop the habit in a group setting.
