EFT May Prevent Tobacco from Killing Billions…
I truly detest few things in life, but cigarette smoke is one of them. I grew up under the tutelage of a shamanic practitioner who revered tobacco too much to ever smoke it, and on the rare occasion he did, it was certainly never casually. And of that handful of times, tobacco smoke was always an offering to Spirit or for a healing purpose. My Grandmother Mimi, an herbal healer, used tobacco juice as an effective and natural insecticide and a poultice of fresh tobacco leaves for arthritis pains. Grandfather Bampa, the pharmacist, prescribed a tobacco leaf and clove poultice for toothaches.
These are respectful and honest uses of a powerful herb that most healers and indigenous peoples regard as a poison to be taken in small quantities if at all. Cigarette smoking, the way most of the world has been indoctrinated, is an unhealthy and potentially fatal way to be in relationship with the powerful herb tobacco.
In this recent press release, Gary Craig, inventor of Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), speaks of its power to free individuals from the tremendously addictive properties of tobacco and more - to relieve the emotional roots of the problems people use tobacco and other drugs to escape:
An easy to learn acupressure technique
could curb the tobacco-related death toll. Emotional Freedom Techniques
(EFT) addresses the root of cigarette addictions, believed to be
unresolved emotional issues. Gary Craig, the Stanford-trained engineer
who developed EFT, explains, “In my experience working with smokers for
more than a decade, they use cigarettes to tranquilize emotions. But
conventional smoking cessations programs do not address smoking
addictions at the emotional level.”
EFT claims an 80% success
rate in reducing these emotional issues and a curbing of addictive
urges are the frequent result. It can be learned freely here:
