The Yellow Emperor Meets Quantum
Psychology
Emotional Healing - 2000 Year Old
Wisdom Meets Quantum Psychology To Finally Procure Emotional
Healing and Emotional Freedom ...
The Jia Yi Ying or Systematic Classic of Acupuncture is the
first textbook of this art.
Written by Huang-fu Mi in the Jin Dynasty (265-420 CE), it
is composed of excerpts from the Su Wen, Ling Shu, Nan Jing,
and other no longer existant Chinese medical classics, all
arranged according to topics in a systematic, step-by- step
manner and held together by Huang-fu Mi's comments based on
his own clinical experience.
According to Professor Han Bing of the Tianjin College of
Traditional Chinese Medicine, this book is the cornerstone
of this art and science. Right up until contemporary times,
no work has ever surpassed the Jia Yi Jing in clinical or
theoretical value.
As Yang Shou-zhong has said: " . . . every great master of
the past and present has expressed with deep emotion and
profound understanding that, unless one immerses oneself in
and bases their practice on the classics, one's medical
erudition and skill cannot be sophisticated. It is the work
of these great masters which provide us with the
indispensable nourishment for our progress and advancement."
EFT Emotional Freedom Techniques is based on exactly these
discoveries, written down over 2000 years ago by Huang Fu Mi
and used across the ages by martial arts masters and their
students, priests and secret societies - namely that if you
control the energy flow in the body, you can control your
emotions precisely and exactly.
No longer do you need to be disabled by
painful emotional blockages but instead, energy runs clearly
and powerfully through your systems, making you clear
thinking, powerfully congruent in your thoughts and strong
and healthy in your body - the mind and body functioning
together with perfect clarity.
It took many hundreds of years after the Dark Ages for
Western Civilisation to come to terms with the fact that the
meridian and energy system is there, and that it has the
most powerful effects on the body - but even more powerful
effects on the mind.
As Marcus Aurelius remarked, "It is in a man's mind that
empires come into being, and it is his will that creates his
own future.".
Clearly, mind-body states of health, balance and focused
clarity are of the essence in everything we do - be it in
creating empires, or in loving someone with all our heart
and without contortions, blockages, self sabotage and
misery.
When Westerners think of "meridian based
treatments", the first thing that springs to mind is
Acupuncture. So effective and helpful with so many chronic
maladies and diseases that even the sharpest insurance
companies have cottoned on to the fact that they save a lot
of money when they send their clients to an acupuncturist as
opposed to putting them on long term drug treatments,
Acupuncture is now entirely accepted and even highly
respected and valued in the Western medical communities.
But of course, stimulating the flow of bio-electric energy
through the body is by no means limited to just using small
antennae of precious metals and it never was.
The Yellow Emperor already knew, 2000 years ago, of very
many other ways of achieving a better flow of life energy
through a person's systems - massage, yoga practices,
meditation and of course, rubbing and stimulating the main
meridian junction points in many different ways.
One of the easiest of all and the most effective is to "percuss"
on these points - to tap them lightly as though one was
making a drum ring out. The small and gentle shockwaves
travel into the meridian system and there, they shake loose
blockages and energize the meridian thus stimulated, making
it come to life and carrying more precious energy around the
system.
When that happens, people start to feel better instantly -
it's like magic, they often say.
One moment, there are overwhelming feelings of fear or pain,
and the next, they are simply gone and there is peace and
clarity instead.
That is in stark contrast to the old fashioned ideas of
medieval medicine of the Western world which holds that
there is no gain without pain, that medicine must taste
bitter or it won't work, and that everything has to be done
the hard way, with much suffering, deprivation and misery.
Many people find it difficult, indeed, to come to terms with
the purity and ease of the energy based treatments because
of this; but once they have understood how useful it is,
simply practically speaking, to be able to relieve stress,
fear, pain and much more with a few simple taps on a few
simple, well chosen points, even the most hard-line amongst
them concede that this is worth knowing about.
Many societies across the ages had few or
little to do with psychological problems - this is something
which has only recently become an epidemic, in the last 100
years or so.
Different lifestyles and diets, a slower pace of life and
less challenges in the form of new or unnatural events and
occurrences meant that for most of humanity's existence,
mental health was not a particularly pressing problem.
Even so, Huang-fu Mi already commented on how treating the
meridian system in very specific ways would alleviate
"maladies of the mind" and thus would bring about renewal
and revival for the body as well.
It was finally in the 1920's that western psychologists
began to learn the ways of treating "maladies of the mind"
in a totally different way, based on what Huang-fu Mi would
have considered to be standard good practice of health and
hygiene for mind and body.
This was developed further and in the early 1980's, the
first systems of directly treating psychological problems,
emotional problems, and neuro-somatic problems (illness that
is caused by ongoing stress rather than by an accident or
infection) with energy based therapies.
Luckily, there is and was a vast reservoir
of practical knowledge about the meridian system, how it
works and where its "power points" can be found already at
hand.
The main points were tried out, and in the late 1980s, not a
doctor or psychologist but a Stanford Engineer, Gary Craig,
designed the first ever self help system based on the most
powerful of these major meridian junction points in an
entirely logical and practical fashion.
He named this system for emotional healing EFT - Emotional
Freedom Techniques - and right from the start, designed it
so that one person can use this by themselves.
After all, who knows better than the
individual themselves what their problems are, and who is
better placed to "give the treatment" EXACTLY at the right
time, at the right moment, when it is needed?
Adding the power of intention and attention
produces twice the treatment, and does not only just double
the power, but creates a very real paradigm shift.
The most radical change and discovery is not
that by tapping on special points, energy flows around the
body better and people start to feel brighter, more at
peace, heal faster and live happier lives.
Huang-fu Mi knew this 2000 years ago and a
glacier corpse found that was nearly 6,000 years old with
the acupuncture points for his specific illness marked out
in tattoo format so he could give himself treatment when he
needed it attests to that fact most profoundly.
The central difference and addition that makes what were
already HIGHLY effective treatments go through a threshold
and become "nearly miraculous" and quite unprecedented was
the addition of INTENTION.
Everybody knows that the mind has everything to do with how
a person feels, and that decides how they act, what they do
and what kinds of lives they lead.
"Cheering someone up" in hospital leads to their wounds
closing faster and having statistically very significantly
less infections and complications. When the mind co-operates
with the body, something happens that becomes more than just
the sum of the parts - miracles can occur.
In EFT, we don't just lie somewhere and think of our
shopping or random events whilst someone taps on us.
In EFT, we focus the mind on one particular problem and THEN
we deliver the treatment - so that the treatment goes
directly to that ONE problem and resolves THAT particular
problem, targeted and powerfully, directly and without a
doubt, at the energetic level.
This is why EFT works so powerfully and with 85% of people
who try it for the first time, reliably, time and time
again.
We are used to having a little green pill
for this, a little blue one for that, a couple of big white
ones for the next thing - one disease, one cure.
EFT is totally different from that approach because it gives
the person a structure that is applicable to *every* problem
and the EFT user adds their own content, thus making every
treatment exactly made to measure for that one person who is
using it on their own absolutely unique problem.
Rather than forcing someone to spend a lifetime studying the
meridian channels and the cause-and-effect of this and that
before they can start to heal, Gary Craig used the brilliant
concept of "Total Redundancy" in his design of working with
the body's power points.
He took *all* the most powerful points and so, for every
problem, all of them are stimulated - and so the right one(s)
are always covered and it is impossible to get it wrong!
All that is required to deliver a powerful meridian based
treatment to clear your own problems is to learn the 14
points of the Classic EFT Sequence - and with the help of a
simple diagram that shows where they are, it takes about 10
minutes or less.
Now, to this overall clearing sequence we add our own
intention and focus by saying out loud what it is that
troubles us - and the powerful healing effects of the
meridian treatment go to work, instantly!
A Hundred Thousand People Tapping ...
By now, more than a hundred thousand people
have learned EFT and they are treating their own energy
systems for their own problems - they are FREE to help
themselves and help others too to relieve burdens of fear,
trauma, anxiety, hatred, sadness, bereavement and chronic
pain and illness.
Over a hundred thousand people are tapping.
In refugee camps in Cossovo, in AIDs clinics in Africa. In
Trauma Centers in the UK and in clinics specialising in
addictions, eating disorders and for sexual abuse survivors.
In the offices of the World's most famous and expensive
psychotherapists; in the offices of small local healers and
counsellors.
But much more importantly, as you are reading this, there
are people of all walks of life, of all ages, of colours,
races and sexes, children and teenagers and old folk,
housewives and executives, a single lonely person in their
basement flat - one person at a time, finding a whole new
sense of power, of freedom and of destiny in their own
ability to help themselves, by themselves, with what
troubles them most.
But that is just the beginning.
EFT is in many ways, just a beginning. Something to show us
that there is help and hope for a better future for every
single one of us, regardless of who we are or what we have
been through so far.
This beautiful, simple and profound self help treatment
opens the door to so much more.
EFT is not called Emotional FREEDOM Techniques for nothing.
The freedom to create your own life, to break free from the
chains of the past and from the cages of our own self
limitations, is a gift of the most profoundest proportions
and in the years to come, the world will acknowledge Gary
Craig's amazing contribution in making EFT available to
everyone, just for the asking.
I invite you to seriously come join this revolution - for
your sake and that of your own future.
