Meditation Makes Previously Buried Emotions More Accessible

Another way that mediation can help progress with EFT stems from the fact that those who commence meditation often find hidden emotions coming to the surface.� Meditators often report experiencing pleasure, sadness, anger, love, and other emotions more fully than they did before and sometimes they experience emotions which had previously been unavailable to them, or recover buried memories that are emotionally charged.� These memories or emotions can then be worked on productively with EFT.�

Increased Sense Of Identity

People who meditate regularly often report that they have become more aware of their own opinions after commencing meditation, that they are not as easily influenced by others as they were before, and that they can arrive at decisions more quickly and easily.� They may also be able to sense their own needs more accurately, and therefore become more outspoken and self assertive and more able to stand up for their own rights effectively.� This natural flowering of a sense of self and of one�s own genuine rights works to assist EFT by allowing the person to tackle self-assertion and self-esteem issues much more quickly with EFT than they might otherwise do.

I find that in their EFT sessions, the person now tends to bring up core issues more readily and to have more courage dealing with them than they did before.� They may also be more willing to address issues of self assertion with EFT where before they may have felt that this would be futile.

Ability to Separate From Others Where Necessary

One result of the increased sense of identity that comes with meditation is the person�s ability to separate from significant others when such a separation is called for.� Meditation can be dramatically effective for counteracting pathological bereavement reactions, impending separation or divorce, the anticipated loss of children who are growing up and will soon leave home, etc.� EFT can then be used to zero-in on specific painful thoughts associated with the impending (or actual) loss, and change them to positive and appreciative thoughts.� The soothing effects of meditation can be an enormous help as it works in the background and we apply EFT in the foreground.

Marked Lowered of Irritability

Many meditating people become far less critical in their personal relationships within a relatively short time after commencing meditation.� A large-scale study of CSM meditation at the New York telephone company, in which over 5,000 employees were taught this method, showed that a marked lessening of irritability and shortness of temper" was one of the most appreciated results of meditation.

I find it extremely useful to add meditation to a client�s EFT treatment if impulsive outbursts or chronic irritability are an important part of the picture.� It is extremely useful to obtain the general lowering of irritability that comes with meditation so that we can move more easily from issue to issue with EFT.

Conclusions

To sum up the use of meditation together with EFT, we might say that this combination allows the person to approach any problem from two different angles at once �� the global approach of meditation melding with the specific approach of EFT, each technique augmenting the other. And, as the old saying goes,� The whole is (often) more than the sum of its parts.�
