Whining Your Way To Health, Happiness & Prosperity With EFT
by: Silvia Hartmann
It's such a struggle having to be positive all the time.
Having a good attitude. Seeing the bright side to everything. Life's
hard enough as it is and when that becomes apparent, sometimes it
really *is* right and proper to really express yourself.
You know, emotions build up. Or should I say, energies build up.
And up. It is just like a pressure beginning to rise - hardly noticeable
at first, then more and more. The pressure grows, the energy gets
denser and tighter. And then there comes the point where the energy
body needs to have this pressure removed or else it seriously starts
to hurt, seriously starts to unbalance body and mind - and that's
why and when people blow their tops, start shouting or the tears
begin to flow.
Of course, the reason for this is a blockage in the energy system,
a stopper in the flow that causes the normal energy flow to back
up and creates this pressure scenario. When you take out the blockages,
the energy rushes through and out and phew - what a relief! That's
when people say, "Oh that's so strange, that feeling isn't there
anymore - I feel fine now!"
The classical EFT effect, if you will.
But here's our special application - whining.
Whining is an activity to *express* backed up emotions just as
much as a panic attack or a temper tantrum - just at a lower end
of the scale.
Here, we are talking about blockages not in the "life-and-death"
systems of the energy body but more like a nagging pain or a thorn
in the foot.
Even so, when the pressure gets too bad something has to be done
and then we whine - about the government, about our spouses, our
children, our finances, the weather, anything really to release
the pressure for a while.
Interestingly, if people were allowed to whine more frequently
to their partners, their co-workers and strangers in the street,
they might be more healthy in the long run. But our 21st century
First World civilisation frowns upon those who whine, accusing them
of having a bad attitude, shunning them at parties and overlooking
them for promotions.
We soon learn that whining is NOT how to make friends and influence
people (other than to walk away swiftly with a sense of disgust!)
and guess what?
What happens to the unexpressed pressure build up which could have
been released with a jolly good, "Oh I'm so fed up! It's so unfair!
Whaaa ..."?
Well of course, it will have to be *expressed* *somehow* - in other
and possibly more damaging ways. In addictions and overeating, in
repetitive behaviours, exercise, compulsive cleaning or working,
and of course, there are many substances that can come to our aid,
producing a state shift and making us move somewhere else for a
time where we are unaware of that pressure down there ...
So I have decided that whining is indeed, healthy and should be
seriously tackled on a regular basis as a prophylactic mental and
physical health measure.
Hopefully, we can use EFT as we whine to actually target and unblock
the energy flow which *causes* the whining in the first place and
thereby not only drain the metaphorical/energetic puss out of the
boil but actually heal what caused the boil in the first place -
so more whining will lead to less, and less, and eventually we will
actually be *really* able to display that "good attitude" of fortitude,
pro-activity, strength and courage we have *pretended* to have had
for oh so long.
So, and without any further ado, here is:
The EFT Whining Protocol
1. When the time is right, with or without another, sit down with
an EFT protocol to hand.
2. Think about something that really annoys you about your life.
Please note we are not talking about major past issues of trauma
and abuse in this case, but something you could really whine on
about in no uncertain terms for ages. Pick your topic, take a deep
breath and start whining.
Example. "Ok, about my wife. She *really* gets on my nerves. Always
wanting to watch TV, can't get her off the couch with a forklift
truck! And that's the least of it. The other day, she actually (insert
next item) ..."
3. As you whine, you tap. You may tap randomly or intuitively,
or simply just tap the whole round, round and round, all through
the whine. When you get to the Karate Chop point, you start again
with the top of the eyebrow.
Please note: The tapping tends to get faster as you get into the
whine. That's alright and a natural response!
4. Continue until you:
a) run out of things to tap on;
b) feel lots better;
c) start laughing;
d) have somehow forgotten what you were tapping on.
To sum up:
Whining is a natural human activity that denotes the need for an
energy release. In and of itself it is very healthy and prevents
the need for escalation into cocain abuse, panic attacks, road rage
and psychosomatic illness.
However, when the activity of whining is paired with the release
and un-blocking effects of Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), mind-body
health is served in a profound way.
The EFT Whining Protocol is thereby fully recommended as a prophylactic
measure and method for all.
Seriously.
