The Power of EFT When Combined with Holistic Therapies

As a Holistic Wellness counselor, I feel it’s a sacred privilege to be a partner in someone’s healing. Healing is so much about working together, trying to uncover and understand the problem, and because we’re all so different, having a variety of tools available is important.

Of the many holistic modalities – music & color therapy, aromatherapy, Reiki, to name a few. I’ve found EFT to be the most effective, and my “tool of choice” but I’ve also noticed that EFT used in conjunction with other holistic tools results in even greater benefits.

Sometimes a client isn’t ready for EFT. If they’re in a very delicate place they may need gentler nurturing first. In those cases, I hold off on EFT and start with some Reiki and Flower Essences. All three of these therapies work on the subtle energies that run through our body but they’re very different. As a client gets stronger and feels ready, I introduce EFT. It’s a matter of understanding my client and sensing what is best for them.

The Bach Flower essences address negative emotions such as shock and grief. After tapping, I’ll often recommend the appropriate flower essence for the emotion involved in our tapping. Or, perhaps a client is dealing with and tapping on self esteem issues, I’ll recommend the Flower Essence: Larch, which helps you to regain self-esteem and confidence in yourself. Flower essences compliment or enhance the EFT work.

The more we look at the whole person, the better able we can aid in their healing. We are not just our body, or just our emotions.

Understanding how our environment affects us is also a critical component to wellness. The principles of Feng Shui address our environment, so suggestions in that area are often helpful to a client. Especially a client who is feeling overwhelmed by their life or problems. Less clutter and more breathing space in their home might be what they most need. Music, Light and Color Therapies can also improve our environment and contribute to feeling better. And, the Flower Essence, Elm, helps when you feel overwhelmed or exhausted.

The biggest lesson that I’ve learned in my own healing journey and in working with clients is to be open and to utilize as many natural and gentle tools as possible. They all have their value/place in the journey. And because we can select which suits us best and use them freely, we’re empowered with tools to take good care of ourselves.

As a Holistic Wellness counselor, my goal is to assist my clients in their journey back to wholeness and wellbeing. Together we strive to replace their self limiting physical/psychic blockages in order for them to be more joyful and healthy.
