The Inner Path to Weight Loss Part 2
Today I'd like to talk to you about a simple, yet powerful ally in your fight to lose weight, EFT. But before we get started if you didn't read Part 1 of this newsletter please go to and select the Blog tab. There you will find Part 1 and other interesting weight loss newsletters.
Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) is a unique form of "psychological acupuncture" that uses the ancient Chinese meridian system, but instead of using needles, you use your fingers to tap on the body's pressure points. This easy, pain free method can help you relieve negative emotional issues that have caused short circuits in your body's energy system. These short circuits cause psychological stress that, if left unresolved can lead to physical ailments.
EFT eliminates these emotional short circuits and restores balance to the energy system. This neutralizes the emotional conflicts at their source, which then allows the body and mind to regain their natural balance and resume their natural healing abilities.
EFT really does work, and more and more people are starting to notice:
"I consider EFT to be the perfect means now available to everyone for regaining physical and mental health" - Tania de Winne, MD -
"Some day the medical profession will wake up and realize that unresolved emotional issues are the main cause of 85% of all illnesses. When they do, EFT will be one of their primary healing tools .... as it is for me." - Eric Robins, MD -
"EFT has been for me, the single most effective technique I've used in my 45 years of practice as a psychiatrist." Curtis Steele, MD

So how does it work. Here's what's commonly referred to as the
The Basic Recipe for EFT
1) Choose the specific issue or negative emotion you're feeling. Be specific.
"I need some ice cream" or "I'm depressed because I'm so fat"
Rate the intensity of your negative emotion on a scale of 1 to 10.
In this case 10 is the highest level of stress or desire.
"My desire for this ice cream is an 8 out of 10"
"My depression over my weight is a 10 out of 10"
Begin tapping. Use the fingers of one hand to tap on the karate chop point of the opposite hand. The karate chop point is located on the side of the hand opposite the thumb side of your hand. It's the side of the hand that you would use if you were doing a karate chop. While tapping the karate chop point repeat the following affirmation 5 times:
"Even though I have this (STATE THE PROBLEM), I deeply and completely accept, love and forgive myself." (Repeat 5 times)
"Even though I am craving ice cream I deeply and completely accept, love and forgive myself" (Repeat 5 times)
"Even though I'm depressed because I'm fat I deeply and completely accept, love and forgive myself"
Tap 9 times on each of the following points while repeating the "reminder phrase".
"I am releasing this (your problem)"
"I am releasing this ice cream craving"
"I am releasing this depression"
The Points: ??Between the eyes
?Sides of eyes
??Under eyes
??Under nose
??Chin
??Collarbone
??Under arm
??Head
5) Now rate the intensity of your negative emotion on a scale of 1 to 10. You should see a reduction in the intensity level. The process might have to be repeated several times to reduce the intensity level to a 0-2. If you have eliminated the negative emotion you can stop here.
6) Variation of step 3 - "Even though I STILL have SOME of this PROBLEM, I deeply and completely accept and love myself and forgive myself."
"Even though I still have some craving for ice cream I deeply and completely accept, love and forgive myself" (Repeat 5 times)
"Even though I still feel some sadness I deeply and completely accept, love and forgive myself" (Repeat 5 times)
Variation of step 3 - "I am releasing this remaining (your problem)".
"I am releasing this remaining ice cream craving"
"I am releasing these remaining sad feelings"
This basic lesson in EFT is easy to learn and use. Try it out the next time you crave some potato chips or candy. You will be amazed how quickly you can neutralize your cravings.
And best of all, IT'S FREE !!!

16 Tips for daily living with Cancer.
All our information comes from the daily practice of cancer patient's they have managed the life crises with the cancer disease and with that, they have become the psychic power for every day! Check it out!
1. Water, water everywhere.
Drink at least eight to ten glasses of water per day. This not only prevents constipation, but helps your kidneys to cope with the medication you may be taking.
2 Short cuts.
If you are going to have cancer chemotherapy, chances are that your hair may fall out. If you cut it short before the time - this way there will be much less hair to lose and the change will not be that remarkable, should your hair fall out.
3. Cut out the coffee.
If you have problems with diarrhoea, caffeine in any form will make this worse. Remember that there are many cola drinks that contain caffeine - look out for these.
4. Watch your temperature.
You are most susceptible to bacterial infections 7-12 days after chemotherapy. Watch out for any signs of an increasing temperature and go and see your doctor. Wash your hands frequently and avoid close contact with anyone who is ill, as you are also very susceptible to viral infections.
5. Three meals a day.
If you are on any type of cancer medication, you should not skip meals. A small meal is better than no meal at all. Nausea is often a problem, especially if you have had cancer chemotherapy. An empty stomach will worsen all symptoms that you do have. Starches such as rice and bread and potatoes are generally well tolerated. Remember fruit and vegetables are good for you too.
6. Bed knobs and broomsticks.
Delegate as much of the heavy housework as you can and let other people help you. The things that you do have to do, should be spread out over the week. Remember that fitting long handles on brooms and dusters can alleviate the bending you have to do normally. Take regular breaks and get a high chair so that you can wash dishes and iron while sitting down.
7. Be freezer wise.
If you are living by yourself, cook more than you need on the days you are feeling better. You will be very grateful on other days if you can just pop something into the microwave.
8. Put your money where your mouth is.
Spend money on decent mouthwash - cancer chemotherapy as well as other cancer treatments can play havoc with the inside of your mouth. The cells inside your mouth are rapidly dividing cells - the ones targeted by chemotherapy. You may develop mouth ulcers. A mouth wash and regular brushing with a soft toothbrush could go a long way towards preventing mouth ulcers.
9. Enjoy yourself.
Just because you have cancer doesn't mean that you have to stop doing all the things you really enjoy, whether it is seeing people, going to the movies, reading, watching sport, cooking, going to the theatre, going to the pub. You might have to make minor adjustments to make things a little easier, but it is important that you should enjoy yourself as well.
10. The magic of sleep.
Sleep gives your body a chance to regenerate and recover. Usually adults need about seven hours. Try and get an extra hour of sleep every day, if possible. The cancer medication you take can put extra stress on the body - try for an afternoon nap as well.
11. Get some fresh air.
Even if you are not well enough to exercise, an hour or two in the sunshine or somewhere outside where it is pretty can do wonders for your sense of wellbeing. If you are well enough to go for a walk, do so - walking is pleasant and very beneficial exercise.
12. Friends indeed.
This is the time when you will find out who your true friends are. When you are having a tough time, or need someone to talk to, or need to go out somewhere nice like the movies, friends are invaluable. Don't be afraid to ask - chances are you would have been there for them had the situation been reversed.
13. No pain, no pain.
With modern medical science being what it is, there is no reason why anyone should endure inordinate pain on an ongoing basis. If your painkillers do not work, or if they have nasty side effects, get something else from your doctor.
14. Bathroom blues.
Move into the bedroom closest to the bathroom, especially if you have difficulty moving. Have a handrail installed if you need it. Remember that showering is always easier than bathing. Put a panic button in the bathroom in case you fall or get stuck or injured.
15. Bring on the entertainment.
Many people who spend long periods of time in bed complain of boredom. There is much that can be done to alleviate this. The radio, magazines and books, cable TV, books on tape and videos are but a few examples of things that can be done to combat boredom. Get a book or magazine holder, so that you don't have to balance the weight of books or magazines while you are reading.
16. Life line.
Get a telephone next to your bed. This is a good idea not only in an emergency, but is also nice for social contact. A cell phone/mobile phone that you can carry around in the house with you is also great Pre-Programmed Emergency numbers.

It's No Joke, Laughter is Awesome Medicine!
You go right ahead! Laugh and cackle to the point of losing your breath! Laughter has enormous amounts of health benefits ranging from affecting diabetes to lowering risks of heart attacks and everything in between!
In this modern world that we live in, full of medicinal remedies and medical breakthroughs, who would ever dream that something as simple as laughter could induce such amazing benefits to your health that could rival highly scientific compounds found in drugs of today?
The idea that laughter may have some serious benefits to our health may have been what spurned on many scientific research projects pertaining to the benefits of laughter on our bodies. Over the years, countless experiments have concluded with scientific data that laughter has one of the most astounding benefits for your health. We have heard about the positive impact animals and clowns have had on nursing home and terminally ill children. Scientists have taken that idea a step further. Experiments have been conducted on such things as type II Diabetes which is an increasing problem for many Americans today. A study done in Japan at the Foundation for Advancement of International Science, Bio-Laboratory, found that laughter helps regulate gene expression to help control type II Diabetes. This is a huge discovery. This means that laughter has such a homeopathic effect on even the gene expression on our DNA that perhaps if we were a happier sort the gene that causes type II Diabetes may possibly never be expressed. Granted, it will likely not take the place of insulin therapy, but it may be key in helping to prevent the disease.
Studies also suggest that laughter positively affects rheumatoid arthritis by affecting the level of the condition as well as psychological benefits in controlling stress and stress related conditions. Perhaps the biggest discovery, published by S. Karger AG, Basel, is that laughter is now being proven to alleviate some of the lasting effects of heart attacks such as less medication and fewer repeat attacks with humor therapy of just thirty minutes per day. Can you imagine the impact?
Go ahead and laugh. Point and giggle, do it with pride and do it for your health. You may be preventing Diabetes when you cackle aloud. You could be keeping yourself from having a heart attack or stroke when you belly laugh to the point of tears. It's ok! It will be contagious and soon everyone around you will be laughing too. Life can sometimes be serious and tiring, but if you look around and can draw some laughter out of what may seem mundane you could possibly be helping your health. Learn a new joke and tell it to everyone you know no matter if you are a good joke teller or not! Join a Laughter Yoga class at your local 'Y' even! Go ahead, laugh! Your health can truly depend on it!
