Bek, I did tell you that I tried hypnotherapy. I have had 3 sessions with the hypnotist. The last session, he taught me how to hypnotise myself and work on some issues. The first 2 sessions he worked on getting me to release what is causing my anxiety. They went well and I felt it did some good. After spending about the next 4 weeks on self hypnosis, I will come in for one more session. Total cost $400.00.


What I think is much more exciting, and better utilization of money, is eft. I have been practicing and perfecting and it has done wonders in dealing with emotional issues as far back as I can remember. I'd recommend everyone go to their website Emofree.Com and at least download the free manual, read it and get started...You need to put in time/effort, but if you do, there is reward back to you. Eft, so far, is far more effective than hypnotherapy

I am doing the eft daily, most of the time I do notice a differance in myself as soon as I finish the first round. I need tie it into other things so that I do it more each day. (like when I go to the loo or before I go to sleep etc)

is this what you guys do?

Bek, I generally do when I get home in the evenings. I have done it several times in the morning. The more I have done, the more efficient I get at applying eft. It appears you can get to the point and do it anywhere, even in public. Amazingly eft is very effective. I am stoked about the results I am getting

How bad was your anxiety?

Do you do it only when feeling anxious or when ever you have the time?

Bek, I would characterize my anxiety as more generalized. I had some severe panic attacks when I was in college back in the 1980's. But they went away and I never really experienced another panic attack till july 2003. Man it was a bad one. I ended up in the hospital for obeservation. Found nothing wrong. Since then it has been just generalized anxiety/stress of everyday life. I have had two more panic attacks since 2003. I would get into fight/flight mode....I am flight, so i'll end up sprinting down the street. As long as I was moving I felt I could keep my head above the water. The panic goes away, but my quality of life was really affected by my negative internal dialogue, which created mild anxiety/stress on a daily basis.

I am doing eft when I find the time. I will sit down and plan what I want to work on, write out the set up phrase, then do it. I'll continue to explore their website for tips on how to perform. Keep me posted on how you are doing with eft

I am a herbalife rep and since buying into the franchise in november 2005 I have been taking tang kuei. It has been specially formulated to help releive nervous tension, stress and mild anxiety, also for the relief of pre-menstrual symptoms, relief of muscular ahces and pains! It is all natural with the 2 ingredents being - angelica polymorpha root and chamomile flowers.
For the girls - a week or so before our menstrual cycle we get mood swigs etc, also during our menstrual cycle we get cramps and pains etc - this has releived mine totally.

If anyone wants any more details drop me an email. If you look up the two ingredents on the net you will find that they have been used by the chinese for years and have many other benfits
