      <title>Laughter Yoga Alleviates Depression</title>
      <description>&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" id="tabcolumn-1" style="width: 100%; margin-bottom: 15px"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;div id="column-1" usermodifiable="true" style="width: 100%"&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-90861839"&gt;Depression is the number one disease today. It is a combination of symptoms that interfere with the ability to work, study, sleep, and eat. It is a disabling condition and can affect a person many times during their life. Depressed people seldom laugh, and laughing people are seldom depressed.Laughter Yoga has helped thousands to overcome severe depression all over the world as it uses laughter in the form of physical exercise rather than using cognitive humor. This means that anyone can laugh, regardless of their state of mind and cognitive ability. So, even depressed people are able to laugh.&amp;#160;It is not unusual for people who have suffered long-term depression to recover through laughter, even after years on anti-depressant medication&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-90861840"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-90861842"&gt;.&lt;b&gt;How Laughter Yoga Alleviates depression&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-90861845"&gt;&lt;b&gt;State of mind:&amp;#160;&lt;/b&gt;The world is a reflection of our state of mind. The pessimistic state of mind common to depression makes our world a miserable place to be, full of unhappy relationships and pressures.Laughter Yoga creates a positive state of mind. It fosters a positive and hopeful attitude with increased optimism. This makes the world seem a wonderful place full of fun and interesting people and great potential for achievement and happiness. In this state one is less likely to succumb to feelings of depression and helplessness.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-90861846"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-90861848"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Neurotransmitters:&lt;/b&gt;&amp;#160;Depression is connected to an imbalance of hormones and neuropeptides in our bloodstream, especially those resulting from high levels of stress. Research shows that Laughter Yoga quickly reduces the levels of stress-related hormones and neuropeptides and replaces these with happiness-related hormones and neuropeptides.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-90861849"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-90861851"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Stress level:&amp;#160;&lt;/b&gt;Often associated with high stress levels, depression-linked worry and negative emotions can further increase stress to dangerous levels. Laughter Yoga is a powerful remedy to counter the negative effects of stress. It elevates the mood state instantaneously and lifts the spirits which enables one to perform better and succeed in any field of work.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-90861852"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-90861854"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Physical effects of stress:&amp;#160;&lt;/b&gt;Depression-linked stress switches off body systems not required for a ‘fight or flight’ response. These include the immune, digestive and sexual systems. Thus the chronic stress of depression causes one to lose interest in activities that bring pleasure, including sex and good food. The weakened immune system leaves one prone to illness and disease.Laughter Yoga on the contrary has the opposite effect on the body. It switches on and boosts the immune, digestive and sexual systems thus restoring the pleasures of good food and sex and enabling the body to fight infections and disease.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-90861855"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-90861857"&gt;&lt;b&gt;It Releases 'Feel Good' Hormones&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;Endorphins:&amp;#160;&lt;/b&gt;Depression is often associated with physical pain and feelings of despair. Practicing Laughter Yoga releases endorphins, a natural form of opiate, into our bloodstream. This provides substantial pain relief for hours and provides a feeling of happiness and safety.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-90861858"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-90861860"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Energy levels:&amp;#160;&lt;/b&gt;Depression is often associated with reduced energy levels and chronic fatigue. Laughter Yoga which stresses deep diaphragmatic breathing fully oxygenates the bloodstream and major organs thus providing a complete sense of well being.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-90861861"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-90861863"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Insomnia &amp;amp; oversleeping:&amp;#160;&lt;/b&gt;Depression is often associated with sleep disorders including insomnia or oversleeping. Extended hearty laughter is reported by many practitioners to resolve these problems, with a great many people reporting full recovery from chronic insomnia.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-90861864"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-90861866"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Appetite problems:&amp;#160;&lt;/b&gt;Depression is often associated with loss of appetite or overeating leading to weight loss or weight gain. Extended hearty laughter is reported by many practitioners to resolve these problems, especially where they involve stress-related self-medication with food, or stress-related lack of interest in food.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-90861867"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-90861869"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Self medication:&amp;#160;&lt;/b&gt;Depression-related stress may lead to self-medication involving alcohol or drugs as a means of coping with emotional problems. Many practitioners of Laughter Yoga have reported a significant reduction in these problems.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-90861870"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-90861872"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Exercise:&lt;/b&gt;&amp;#160;Depression often leads to immobility and a lack of exercise. This can lead to a rapid decline in health and wellness. Laughter Yoga is a great way to exercise the body system and the mind. Laughter provides a gentle but substantial aerobic workout.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-90861873"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-90861875"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Cardio problems:&lt;/b&gt;&amp;#160;Depression is often associated with cardiovascular problems and high blood pressure.Extended hearty laughter in Laughter Yoga is one of the fastest ways of boosting heart rate and provides an excellent cardio workout. This maintains cardio health and allows the blood to flush accumulated waste away from major organs.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-90861876"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-90861878"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Mind-body &amp;amp; body-mind:&amp;#160;&lt;/b&gt;Depression exerts negative effects on the mind, body and emotions. Depression may result directly from medical problems or illness: a heart attack, paralytic stroke, cancer, hormonal disorder and terminal disease can all induce a state of depression.The recovery from such illness is often slow as the person has no will to improve his physical condition. He gives up on life and retreats into a shell.Extended hearty laughter is a body exercise with powerful body-mind healing effects. In addition to strengthening the body to aid recovery, it can provide mental tools to help cope with the stress of illness, and also transform the emotional condition, providing a strong motivation to become well.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-90861879"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-90861881"&gt;&lt;b&gt;It Boosts Positivity&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-90861882"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br&gt;Negative emotions:&amp;#160;&lt;/b&gt;Depression is often associated with negative emotions, including fear, anger, loneliness and self-pity. These may lead to increased stress, feelings of intense despair, and overwhelming sensations of helplessness and sometimes thoughts of suicide.Laughter Yoga reduces negative emotions and promotes positive emotions including feelings of happiness, safety and self-worth.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-90861884"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-90861886"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Anxiety &amp;amp; worry:&amp;#160;&lt;/b&gt;Depression is often associated with anxiety and intense worry, a mental activity with a remarkable ability to increase stress levels.Worry can only occur when we think about the past or the future. By bringing us into the present, laughter can help to end the worry cycle. It also helps us to see the ridiculous aspect of worry and teaches us to laugh as problems and issues that previously seemed insurmountable.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-90861887"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-90861889"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Self esteem &amp;amp; motivation:&amp;#160;&lt;/b&gt;Depression is often associated with debilitating feelings of low self-esteem. Practitioners of Laughter Yoga commonly report increases in self-esteem and resulting increases in motivation in many aspects of their life.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-90861890"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-90861892"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Performance abilities&lt;/b&gt;: Depressed people often report a lack of concentration and difficulty in making decisions. This can impact negatively on their ability to perform at work or in other situations.The reduction in stress levels resulting from sessions of laughter can restore concentration and improve cognitive and decision-making abilities. Coupled with an energy and motivational boost that often leads to remarkable transformations in the ability to perform.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-90861893"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-90861895"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Communication:&amp;#160;&lt;/b&gt;Depression is often associated with reduced communication with others. Laughter is one of the oldest tools of communication. Laughter Yoga sessions lead to feelings of connection, a willingness to communicate and improved communication skills.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-90861896"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-90861898"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Social networking:&amp;#160;&lt;/b&gt;Depression is often associated with a withdrawal from others with consequent loneliness. Modern science recently ‘discovered’ that a rich network of emotional connections is the number-one reason for people to be happy and that the most powerful factor in our happiness is good relationships --- more important than money, job satisfaction or marital status.To be happy, humans need a network of healthy emotional relationships with a group of people who care about them and about whom they care. Regular sessions of Laughter Yoga practiced with the same group of people (as happens at social laughter clubs) provide this rich network of social contacts.Thousands of laughter club members have reported that their depression has vanished and that they are happier than ever before.&amp;#160;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;

      <description>&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" id="tabcolumn-1" style="width: 100%; margin-bottom: 15px"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;div id="column-1" usermodifiable="true" style="width: 100%"&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-172284769"&gt;1:Write down the goal in a positive frame. &amp;quot;i want to stop smoking&amp;quot; is set in the negative. we would change this to &amp;quot;i keep my body healthy, and my lungs full of fresh air&amp;quot;. Be as specific as you can in 3 sentences or less.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-172284770"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;2: Write the goal down on three pieces of paper. You keep one on you at all times. one you put where you spend most of your time and the other where you see it in the morning and last thing at night. This will keep you focused&lt;div id="ctrl-172284772"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-172284774"&gt;3: Every morning write 3 reasons why you want the goal or how your life will be better once you have it. this will reinforce why you want you goal.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-172284775"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-172284777"&gt;4: If you slip up on the goal, apologise to yourself with a simple sorry. and write down another three reasons why you want the goal. be kind to yourself, you would not label a baby as a failure if they could not walk the first time they tried. Give yourself a break!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-172284778"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-172284780"&gt;5: Have fun on the way to completing your goal!. Dance, Sing and laugh your way through, life is meant to be fun after all!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;

We are working with beliefs that our parents and teaches and major influences have and not living our true selves. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-10747747"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-10747748"&gt;Now with modern science and ancient techniques we can place new beliefs into the subconscious mind to allow you to have the life that you wish. We can also remove any limiting belief and emotion attachments to past traumas and events freeing you to life the life with freedom and passion&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-10747749"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-10747750"&gt;So if you want the print out of your life to show a different picture get in contact with is now.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-10747751"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-10747752"&gt;Have fun, keep smiling and hope to make a new friend soon.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-10747753"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-10747754"&gt;Nick Rowe&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-10747755"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>How much are you worth</title>
      <description>&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" id="tabcolumn-1" style="width: 100%; margin-bottom: 15px"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;div id="column-1" usermodifiable="true" style="width: 100%"&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-232824"&gt;It has been brought to my attention that some people pay more for to change their lives than others. This is not based on how much they earn but how much they value themselves. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-232825"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-232826"&gt;Over the next 6 months&amp;#160;I am changing my pricing to see how much people really do value themselves and how much they want to change.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-232827"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-232828"&gt;All my sessions for the next&amp;#160;month are gong to be done on a donation based payment. So you&amp;#160;pay what you feel the session was worth to you.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-232829"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-232830"&gt;So the question is how much do you want to change and how much do you think it is worth.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-232831"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-232832"&gt;Please let me know yuor thoughts on this. and hope to hear from you soon!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-232833"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-232834"&gt;Nick Rowe&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Regain the control you desire in your life</title>
      <description>&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" id="tabcolumn-1" style="width: 100%; margin-bottom: 15px"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;div id="column-1" usermodifiable="true" style="width: 100%"&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-3168020"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;&lt;font color="#c03a63"&gt;L&lt;/font&gt;et’s make life easier brings you life changing techniques that you can enjoy for the rest of your life. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-3168021"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-3168022"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;Welcome to the place of change and endless possibilities, using a combination of ancient wisdom and modern science. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-3168023"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;Whatever you desire we can help you get there quickly and easily. The techniques used work on a sub conscious level and because 95% of our actions are controlled by our subconscious mind, then our lives change quickly and easily bypassing will power and struggle.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-3168024"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-3168025"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;I know you’re wondering if this is really possible, to have a technique that can change the way you see your life and how you see yourself. Well it’s here for you now!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-3168026"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-3168027"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;Wouldn’t it be great if you could pick and choose your beliefs? Well now you can! Combining kinesiology and left and right brain research it is now possible to place new beliefs into subconscious within 10-15 minutes. To accelerate the change you desire in your life you will learn an extra technique that you will be able to use anywhere to control the emotions that pop up in your life.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-3168028"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-3168029"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;Iamgine how much your life will be better now you can have control!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-3168030"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>EFT CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE</title>
      <description>&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" id="tabcolumn-1" style="width: 100%; margin-bottom: 15px"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;div id="column-1" usermodifiable="true" style="width: 100%"&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-33707675"&gt;Singer Michael Ball was seen doing it on a daytime TV chat show. He learnt it from the late singer, Stephen Gately, who used it to calm his own performance nerves. Lily Allen's weight loss was attributed to its efficacy. American PGA players have been spotted doing it around the golf course. And Norwegian pole-vaulter Rens Blom credited his unexpected 2005 World Championship Gold to its powers. The internet reveals millions of anecdotal accounts of its success on phobias, addictions and anxiety. So nearing the end of my own two-year psychotherapy training, I wanted to discover what this mysterious &amp;quot;tapping&amp;quot; business is all about.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-33707676"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-33707677"&gt;So I signed up for a day course at the EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) Academy in London's Regent's College, with Richard Mark, an advanced EFT practitioner and certified trainer, who has worked as a psychotherapist and hypnotherapist for 12 years. My fellow students are a mixed bunch of mental health professionals, lawyers, physiotherapists, trainee counsellors and full-time parents. Unafraid to challenge, the students are surprisingly curious and sceptical rather than gullibile. There isn't a sandal or kaftan among them.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-33707678"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-33707679"&gt;Although it doesn't rigidly follow his teachings, Mark's course is based on the EFT therapy developed by American, Gary Craig in 1997. Craig had studied Dr. Callaghan's Thought Field Therapy in the 1980s, an evolution of John Diamond's Kinesiology, both of which were rooted in ancient Eastern &amp;quot;meridian energy&amp;quot; theories of acupuncture and Shiatsu, codified since at least 1000BC.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-33707680"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-33707681"&gt;These therapies claimed that our bodies contain invisible energy pathways – meridians – and identified hundreds of acupoints at junctions along these interconnecting highways. They can be disrupted by life's vicissitudes; in extreme cases, resulting in not only mental but also physical problems.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-33707682"&gt;EFT works by a person tapping on just nine of these acupoints, while speaking aloud. And this is where it becomes a little weird. Working in pairs we identify a minor physical ailment and repeat the phrase, &amp;quot;Even though I have this sore knee / headache / lack of energy, I deeply and completely accept myself,&amp;quot; while tapping on the meridian points: the soft part of the hand beneath the little finger, crown of the head, around the eyes, beneath the nose, the chin, near the clavicle and beneath the armpit. I just about resist the urge to &amp;quot;ooh ooh&amp;quot; like a monkey.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-33707683"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-33707684"&gt;A key part of the therapy is calibrating the intensity of either physical or emotional pain, which allows both therapist and patient a tangible scale by which to measure success. Mark explains that EFT is &amp;quot;especially effective in clearing traumatic memories: accidents, abuse, violence, childhood memories; or even clearing persistent negative messages from family or key people in our lives.&amp;quot;We move onto emotional problems, selecting a memory that is difficult, but manageable in the limited time available, and within a classroom environment. Using the &amp;quot;Movie Technique,&amp;quot; we must make a mental movie of a specific event, giving it a title and running it in our mind's eye, marking its intensity between 1 – 10, before tapping with the mantra, &amp;quot;Even though I have this playground bullying / car accident / illness diagnosis movie, I deeply and completely accept myself.&amp;quot; In extreme cases of trauma, the patient can merely imagine the units of distress without running the movie in their head, gradually moving towards the scene at a safe pace.In spite of – or perhaps because of – the adrenaline from feeling like a bit of a wally, when using the &amp;quot;Movie Technique&amp;quot; myself my own memory of witnessing a violent assault twenty years ago, does indeed fade in its intensity. But I'm not a prime candidate. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-33707685"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-33707686"&gt;EFT has impressive results on a whole spectrum of emotional issues but is arguably making its biggest impact on those suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.Treating such patients, Marta Krol, a Polish clinical psychologist who trained under Mark and has returned to Poland, has found EFT's effects &amp;quot;amazing&amp;quot;. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-33707687"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-33707688"&gt;She recounts a 12-year-old Chechnyan girl suffering speech and anxiety problems as a result of witnessing, aged six, her uncle's dismembered body brought into the family home and laid on the kitchen table by hysterical relatives. The child did not speak at all for the following 12 months.&amp;quot;We had worked together for six months with little progress,&amp;quot; says Krol, &amp;quot;Then I tried EFT. She pictured herself watching the terrible scene on TV but through another TV and so on until she was five levels removed and even then she saw herself watching from behind the curtains. But after six weeks she was talking fluently and could recount the event with no anxiety. I honestly believe I could not have helped her do that without EFT.&amp;quot;Emma-Leigh Johnson, a London-based drugs counsellor is unequivocal about its benefits, &amp;quot;By the time clients come to me they have had lots of therapy. They know what to say, the games to play and boxes to tick. EFT is so unusual, they don't know what you want to hear.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-33707689"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-33707690"&gt;&amp;quot;Few therapies allow a patient to say aloud that they accept themselves despite their rape / abuse / addiction, while dealing with the emotions that arise simultaneously. Johnson explains, &amp;quot;lots of therapy separates the issue and the human being. With this you can change how you feel about something, but accept that you can't change what happened – that's the emotional freedom. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-33707691"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-33707692"&gt;I&amp;#160;see bigger shifts using EFT than any other therapy.&amp;quot;Some clients prefer to be 'tapped upon' by the therapist; others will mirror their actions; but perhaps more than any other therapy, EFT equips the individual to take away the skill to use at any time.EFT is still ripe for ridicule. Having explained it in broad terms to my husband, he can now be heard muttering, &amp;quot;I may not have unstacked the dishwasher but I deeply and completely accept myself.&amp;quot; But I have no doubt that the sound of tapping is here to stay. And it's only going to get louder&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-33707693"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-33707694"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-33707695"&gt;Come and see what eft can do for you!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
