Low Energy Levels

admin

If you feel that everything is taking much more energy at this time of year, then you are not alone.  It’s typical for us to slow down in the winter and spend more time inside.  Many people suffer from SAD or Seasonal Affective Disorder.  SAD symptoms include low energy levels, depression, anxiety, mood changes, overeating, loss of concentration and sleep problems.  

If that feels like you then why not invest in a solar lightbox?  I’ve got a Bodyclock dawn simulator which is an alarm clock that wakes you with a sunrise.  This really helps me get up on a dark winter morning!  The brightening light is a natural signal for your body to reduce the production of sleep hormones and gradually increase the levels of hormones that wake you up and get you moving.  I wouldn’t be without mine.  http://www.lumie.com/shop/products/bodyclock-sunray-100    

If you could do with a bit of an energy boost try this tip and follow the tapping script to help improve your energy levels.  

Thump Your K27 Points (Collarbone)

Benefits:

  • Increases energy
  • Relieves tiredness if you are feeling drowsy
  • Focuses your mind  

Instructions:

Tap on the collarbone (K27) points with your fingers bunched together for about 20 – 30 seconds.  The collarbone points are located just below and slightly outward from the bumps at the end of the collarbone.  Breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth. 

Do this at least once every day and more often if you need it.  This is a great pick me up if you are driving – do one side at a time to keep one hand on the steering wheel!

Tapping Script

Setup:

Tap on the Karate Chop spot on either hand whilst repeating out loud these 3 setups (or change the words to suit your situation).

  •  Even though I feel so worn out, I’ve got no energy, I deeply and completely accept myself anyway
  • Even though I feel so tired, I deeply and completely accept who I am and how I feel
  • Even though the winter is draining my energy levels, I choose to accept who I am and how I feel  

Reminder Phrases:

  • Eyebrow: I’m just so tired
  • Side of eye: I’ve got no energy
  • Under eye: I don’t want to feel tired time all the time
  • Under nose: I can’t be bothered to do anything
  • Chin: I’m so worn out
  • Collarbone: I’m exhausted
  • Under arm: I wish I had more energy
  • Top of head: I wish I had the energy to do more  

 

  • Eyebrow: Maybe I can feel better
  • Side of eye: Maybe my energy levels will increase
  • Under eye: What if I had more energy
  • Under nose: What if I had all the energy I need
  • Chin: I can start to feel more energised
  • Collarbone: I’m open to gaining more energy
  • Under arm: What if my energy levels were boosted
  • Top of head: I am feeling my energy increase and I want to do more

 

  • Eyebrow: I’m so lethargic
  • Side of eye: My energy is increasing
  • Under eye: I wish I wasn’t so tired
  • Under nose: What if my energy started increasing
  • Chin: I can’t do things I want to do
  • Collarbone: My energy levels are returning
  • Under arm: I just want to sleep all the time
  • Top of head: I am feeling more vibrant and alive  

Repeat the tapping as necessary and use your own words where appropriate.  Try tapping on the specific things that are draining your energy and keep tapping until you feel better.

My Gary Craig Article

Do you have people in your life who are sceptical about EFT? Would you like your family or friends to be more open about EFT?  My article about my sceptical Dad was featured in Gary Craig’s EFT Insights Newsletter on September 18th. 

Featured Article #1: Louise’s sceptical dad warmed up to EFT:  Do you have a friend or relative that is sceptical about EFT? Read this article by Louise Woods from the UK and discover how she handled the problem. Please consult physicians on all medical issues.

I have been an EFT practitioner for about 3 years now. Previously I was a software engineer and had a successful career. After many years of stress and feeling there had to be more to life I took the plunge and started practising as a complementary therapist. I met a lot of resistance from my family when I changed careers. I think that they thought I had “lost the plot”!

Over the years they have come to accept that I’m not going to go back to doing a “normal” job. My Dad in particular has been quite sceptical about all that I do. In the last couple of years he has had angina and had to have an operation to fit a stent in one of his arteries.

Luckily this was successful and he has been feeling much better. He is however on both cholesterol and blood pressure tablets. I really thought that EFT could benefit my Dad and knew he was very sceptical and unlikely to try it.

A couple of months ago I thought I’d show my parents an EFT film and see what happened. After watching it, my Dad asked me “is there anyone in the UK who does this?”. Both my Mum and I commented that I do EFT and that he has clearly not taken notice of what I do! (I’ve since done some EFT on myself for the issues that raised!). I then spent some time showing him how to do EFT and suggested some tapping wording to get him started. These were along the lines of:

Even though I have this high blood pressure…
Even though my blood pressure is too high, I choose for it to return to a normal healthy level…
Even though I don’t like taking these blood pressure tablets…

I really didn’t think he would go through with and that he was just humouring me. But I thought at least I’ve tried.

I’m pleased to say that I was wrong. He started out tapping every day on his high blood pressure. My Mum commented that he seemed a bit less stressed. I then spoke to him a few weeks later and he reported that he was not tapping on his blood pressure anymore but that he was tapping on his temper! I was gobsmacked!

He has a very quick temper and really doesn’t handle stress well at all. I knew this was more like the core issue of his physical manifestations but wanted to tread carefully around his apologises. He has been tapping regularly since. The other day my Mum asked me what have I done to my Dad!

He is a now a lot calmer, his temper is much better and he even apologizes if he does lose it! If he starts losing his temper my Mum now says “tap, tap” and he does! His blood pressure has also come down. He has even started telling other people about EFT now. What a transformation! I’m going to encourage him to keep tapping on a regular basis and suggest he start looking at some childhood issues. I feel I have opened a door in my sceptical Dad. EFT is such an amazing tool, I love it. Thank you Gary, for sharing it with us.

In deepest gratitude,

Louise Woods
