E-motional Detox By Karen St. Clair, AAMET EFT Practitioner


Most of us are unaware just how dis- connected we are from our e-motions. Take a moment to ask yourself, “When was the last time I spoke from my heart, instead of using my thinking mind?”

Think about how your e-motions were dealt with as a child. Many of us were not encouraged to express our e-motions and discovered that keeping them hidden was the safest way to get along within our family. We may have unconsciously stuffed down our e-motions as a daily practice.


• Always keep the peace. • Don’t rock the boat. • It’s not right to ask for more. • My opinion doesn’t matter. • Adults are always right.


With learned behaviors such as these,


it’s no wonder that as adults, we find our- selves completely disconnected from our e-motions and unable to get beyond these engrained limiting beliefs. Why would we consider any other way? We’ve proven that those strategies worked in our childhood. They must still be valid, right?

Each time we try to make a change, our subconscious (or inner child) comes up with all kinds of excuses as to why it’s not safe to change:


• This isn’t a good time, you better wait until next month.


• Remember what happened last time you tried this; it was a total failure. Don’t do it.


• If you make this change, your friends won’t accept you.


• You can’t afford it. • It’s not worth the risk.


Sound familiar?


Since we can literally only focus on one thought at a time, we need to clear the old thought patterns of the past to make room for creating new patterns for the future.


We are all made up of energy called


Chi, which flows through our bodies like water through a garden hose, until we get


This is why making changes as adults can be so difficult without the necessary tools. It’s impossible to feel an e-motion without having a physical reaction and vice versa, it’s impossible to have a physical reaction without having an e-motion. The mind body connection is a locked system.
