In Western medicine we tend to focus on the disease rather than the person. Pain in the back will be treated as a physical problem and treated with painkillers or physiotherapy. In holistic health and wellbeing however, the focus is on the whole person. We are all comprised of three parts - Mind, Body and Spirit or Soul. These three are one unit and holistic health focuses on addressing all three by bringing people to a state of wholeness in Mind, Body, and Spirit. Holistic therapy will consider whether emotional issues have played a part in causing pain which is manifesting itself as back pain.
Maybe you think this all sounds a bit touchy-feely, but I'm sure you've seen for yourself how your emotions can have a physical impact on your body - butterflies in your stomach before an important meeting; your mouth going dry; that sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach.
Most times however it is more subtle, and you may not even be aware of the impact. Damage can be long lasting and childhood traumas can surface as physical pain and disease in adulthood. These can be treated with painkillers and other medicines, but unless the underlying emotional cause is addressed they will continue to cause problems. Your mind tries to protect you by burying the problem, but it won't go away until it has been addressed. Tackling it is best done by bypassing the watching, protective, conscious mind and getting to the underlying issue. EFT tapping is a powerful techniques for addressing these deep seated emotional issues. The amazing thing is, it often delivers results where everything else has failed.
EFT, or Emotional Freedom Technique is a unique therapy and, until you have experienced the benefits for yourself, it is very easy to be sceptical about how effective it can be. During a session, various points on the body are tapped. These points are on the body's energy lines and the tapping clears blockages, freeing trapped energy and restoring balance. EFT has been described as being like acupuncture but without the needles. During a round of tapping the client focuses on the problem. Unlike other 'talk' therapies like Cognitive Behavioural therapy it doesn't require any analysis or discussion of an issue, rather it works directly on the blockage. So instead of focussing on the trauma the client will focus on the pain. That can make it a less traumatic experience. Releasing the energy will address the root cause and address the pain. However, EFT should be handled with care since blocked emotions can release powerful feelings.
I have used EFT for various physical ailments including a bee sting and muscular pain and am always surprised by how quick and effective it is. EFT will deliver results very quickly. EFT will help you deal with emotional blocks, phobias releasing physical pain. One session, lasting no more than 30 minutes can have immediate and long lasting effects.
