EFT came into my life about tow years ago. It was like meeting a good old
friend for the first time.. since, he is a guest at my table three meals a
day and still very welcome.
I would like to tell you how I have integrated EFT into my work. In 1995 I
have joined a group of artists who had in mind to experiment the use of
theatre as a complimentary educational tool. Outside and within the
conventional schooling system. Since we have developed a method using the
basic tools of theatre as a discipline to integrate different groups of the
population, who normally wouldn't have the chance to actively interact.
Students from so-called black schools with their white school homologues,
students from schools in the suburbs with students from central town
children, in refugee centres with children from a local native school, etc.
The concept is quite simple,we come with a ready-made theatre peace and in a
five days intensive workshop we have the children perform on a professional
stage in front of a very a live audience.(our website is under construction
but you can access the fotoalbum on
*www.zinzien.nl
* ) Sounds stressful for the children well surprisingly enough they are like
fish in the water with our method except for some individuals this is where
EFT comes in, with great efficiency. When a child gets angry or becomes
anxious and starts crying, I take him/her to the side, and aske him/her to
tell me what's going on. While they are telling me, I hold their hand and
tap gently on the gamet point at the same time intuitively testing there
openness to the process. If receiving a positive(which is usually the case),
I proceed to gentle tapping on highbrow, side of the eye, under the eye and
under the arm, all while keeping holding their hand. In most of the cases
the results are immediate and tears stops. The facial expression relaxes ,
the breathing regulates and deepens, eventually the child seems to have this
look of ''what happened?'' for the rest of the workshop day .While
participating with ease in the workprocess, one of the principles and
working conditions is that the teachers of the children will participate in
the workshop as an equal member of the group. You can imagine that this can
create some stress and major migraines, no worries they where EFTed away as
well. Naturally, this creates interest, which I have learned to answer
channelling my enthusiasm into digestible metaphors, allowing some of those
new ideas to grab a hold. Entering through the back door, you would think.
Perhaps, but in is in, which brings me to the project I have initiated two
months ago, called ''greenhouses effect''. These are ecological homes spread
around Europe, which will be educational centres for energy efficiency.
Energy efficiency not only on the level of wind and water energy, solar
panels,cradle to cradle materials for building your house, etc, but also
energy psychology, quantum energys to build boddy and soul. These homes will
be the beating heart of many teams created in each province bringing every
week a workshop to tow different groups of children using our method and its
complimentary benefits, these homes will allow people to examine the
possibility of environmental friendly lifestyle whether the environment is
external or internal.
A dream of a big backdoor. I will leave you with that thought of a man in
France, Europe, called Aurel, who is asking the universe for as much help as
possible to fulfill this dream.
I tap-tap you goodnight and thank you for your time and attention.
