Can’t Stop Thinking? Use EFT and Music to Quiet the Mind
Sometimes we get stuck in our heads thinking the same thoughts over and over again like a music track on repeat and can’t find an escape. Often we turn to alcohol, drugs, addictive behaviour, and even self-harm to break the thought patterns.
The Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) is an innovative approach to healing that can be applied to any emotional and physical issues you can name and often gets results when nothing else works. When EFT is combined with music it can often tame our thoughts and give us some much needed peace.
The success of EFT lies in the balancing of the body’s subtle energies that flow through the body, in much the same way as blood flows through veins. This balancing is done with an elegant sort of emotional acupuncture. Instead of using needles, specific points on the body are stimulated by tapping with the fingertips.
The basics of EFT can be learned by anyone and can be self-applied (usually in minutes).
When you get stuck in your head continuously looping on the same issue, try applying EFT while listening to your favourite uplifting music. Having music playing helps the right brain become involved and balance out the left-brain dominance which is keeping you stuck in the loop.
Someone recently mentioned to me that the first movement of Beethoven’s 5th Symphony was especially beneficial. I’m sure you’ll recognise this piece of music when you hear it. I use this piece at the end of group sessions and often see people in a blissful state when it’s finished.
