Are you away from home and looking for a way to support your emotional health? Travel, for whatever period of time, can bring up a wide range of emotions and can be extremely challenging. You are often busy, tired, and without your usual exercise and dietary routines. It is also common to feel alone and emotions can build up without your usual outlets such as friends, family or a therapist. Yoga and meditation are great ways to relieve emotional distress, but if you are looking for another strategy, try Emotional Freedom Therapy (EFT).
Emotional Freedom Therapy is technique developed by Dr. Mercola that utilizes acupressure points and positive affirmations to support emotional help. Among other things, EFT is supposed to help you: remove negative emotions, reduce food cravings, reduce or eliminate pain, and implement positive goals. Read through Dr. Mercola's web page of information on EFT and watch the video demonstration. You can find additional information on EFT by googling it.
Recognizing that this technique is not for everyone and for many it will take a bit of a leap of faith into unfamiliar territory, I think it's worth a try. I am a firm believer in acupuncture and acupressure, which work with the meridian energy channels to heal and promote well-being. I have also used positive affirmations in various forms in my meditation or simply to calm myself down during anxious spells. The combination of these two methodologies must be helpful, especially when you don't have a meditation leader or acupuncture therapist around to support you!
I'll let you know how this goes for me... and please let me know how it goes for you!
