Friday 11th April 2003 - Bramcote Memorial Hall

Notes by Linda Darlison

Our speaker for the evening was Helene Smith, a Spiritual Healer, (not a Spiritualist as advertised). What an inspiring speaker she proved to be! Helene spoke to us of E.F.T. Emotional Freedom Technique. One of the Group, Paul, was a willing volunteer, when Helene demonstrated the method.

With her help, Paul was able to reduce the pain he has been experiencing. On a scale of 1-10 it reduced from 10 to 2 and she guided him on its further reduction.

Helene has offered to return for a further talk on the same subject, an offer we readily accepted, her confidence in the method, personality and encouragement made it a memorable evening. Her added incentive, the method is one you may do for yourself, you cannot overdose on E.F.T. and to appeal to the Scrooge in us all, the method is completely free! What more could we ask? Thanks Helene.

Notes by John Wright

Our speaker on this occasion was Helene Smith, of Cropwell Butler, Notts. and her subject was Emotional Freedom Technique, or E.F.T. (and a change to the previously announced Spiritualism).

E.F.T. is a healing therapy of comparatively recent origin. Essentially, this therapy involves tapping a number of times on a sequence of meridian points on the body to relieve negative emotions and whilst repeating a "reminder phrase" stating what is sought.

What is sought? An easing have, or release from, grief, stress, anger, panic attacks and other emotional trauma; significantly, the easing or elimination of pain can also be achieved. This last was vividly demonstrated when a member present and, sadly, in some pain, volunteered as a treatment subject. Their pain ratio dropped from a self-assessed ten out of ten, firstly down to five and then, with a repeat of the procedure, to two.

As a therapy, EFT was previously unknown to members. One of its strengths is that it can be self applied. Helene Smith's enthusiasm, conviction and knowledge captivated us all; a superb talk!
