EFT Specialist & Hypnotherapist

EFT and Cancer

I have been working with Ava for the past 5 months.  In that time I have been able to let go of a lot of “junk” that I have carried around with me for years.  One aspect of our work together has been to address that I am a thyroid cancer and breast cancer survivor.  The stress and fear of reoccurrence as a cancer survivor has been something that I struggled with on a daily basis.  It was always looming in the background.  I have had issues with my body staying in fight or flight mode since cancer diagnosis and treatment, which is exhausting, debilitating and stressful.    After addressing this with EFT, the plaguing thoughts and fears aren’t making there way into my head now.   I have been experiencing a sense of calm that I haven’t had for a long, long time.  I feel more rested, my body is finally relaxing, and the tightness in my belly is beginning to unravel. It has been wonderful to experience all the positive changes.   

I am so grateful that I met Ava and the fact that I have experienced the healing benefits of EFT. Thank you Ava, you are helping me change my life.

Hello,

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and I would like to share how useful EFT can be for those who are challenged with cancer and cancer survivors. Specifically I would like to share the benefits of this straightforward, easy to learn method since what most of us want to know about anything is how can this help me? 

EFT, Emotional Freedom Technique can and does

reduce the stress and anxiety that keeps your body in fight/flight mode which is not useful for healing.

EFT can provide relief from and the reduction of the emotional, mental and physical issues which DOES support healing. 

EFT has also been helpful for some in reducing the side effects of chemotherapy and EFT can also be effective for reducing physical pain. 

In EFT we work the same meridians as acupuncture using a tapping motion and particular verbiage. Every experience we have had is stored in the subconscious and the body and they don’t know the difference between past and present.  One of the most glaring examples of this is flashbacks in war veterans.  There is a part of them that does not know that it is over. 

In fact, on July 21, 2010 EFT and again on September 15th EFT was taken before the US Congress including the Armed Services Committee and the House Homeland Security Committee to showcase the use of EFT for PTSD.  Many influential people and committees are strongly advocating the use of EFT for PTSD.

Women who have or have had cancer also carry deep-seated fears and great trauma.  They have their own issues when experiencing feelings and questions like:

*Will I survive this?

*Will my life ever be normal again and what would the new  

  normal look like?

*How to be an ex cancer patient – it’s all consuming for   

  months and then it just stops.

*How do I keep in check that not everything is related to

  cancer?

*How do I deal with the fear of reoccurrence?

*The feeing that I am fighting an enemy that I can’t see-        

  always on guard

It is hard to imagine the relief and release from this kind of constant anxiety and fear that EFT can provide until you actually have the experience for yourself.

The body’s natural instinct is to heal and EFT can help sort it out and is a great help on the emotional journey. You may have the illness or be a survivor of the illness but it is not who you are.  You deserve release, relief, hope and a chance to heal. 

You can have an empowering tool literally at your fingertips and working on deeper issues with an experienced practitioner can have often produce amazing results mentally, emotionally and physically.

After only 2 EFT sessions I can see and feel the benefits of this process.  In discussing my cancer journey memories while using the EFT techniques I was surprised and pleased to see how quickly they came into perspective.   Combining the physical aspect of tapping with the verbal & visual recounting of those memories will help complete the healing circle for me.  What a joy to feel the stress float away.  What have been unpleasant memories for me are now just a part of telling the story.  I am pleased to be a part of sharing EFT with my survivor community!    Veronica Clift
