Multiple Benefits From EFT and OEFT Over The Years
"These are some of the more spectacular ones, starting 15 years ago."
Jan Evans, one of our OEFT Course Members, has been an EFT'er for many years and lists below some highlights of her many impressive results. Some were done via EFT Tapping (before The Unseen Therapist became available) and others were done via The Unseen Therapist. All could have been accomplished by The Unseen Therapist.
~~~~~~~~~~
HI Gary,
For some time I have thought about sending you some of my success stories; I have finally gotten around to it.
These are some of the more spectacular ones, starting 15 years ago:
- When i first learned EFT the instructor said try it on everything. I had been cutting my hedge (80 yards long) with shears and my shoulder ached. I stood in the garden and thought ‘well, he said try it on everything’ so I did. The pain disappeared. This early example seemed to help others try EFT too.
- I did 15 mins with the mum of one of my pupils. She did not believe in any energy stuff. She was frustrated that her husband couldn’t get a job and she didn’t know what to do with her life. I can’t remember the details now, but I said ‘I know something that might help’ and we spent 15 mins just tapping on ‘I don’t know what to do’ or something like it. After a couple of rounds, as far as I remember, she jumped up and said ‘that’s it! I’m going to make cakes, take my children out of school to home ed and show my husband how to do this.’
- Fast forward a year or so . . . her husband had had offers of 3 jobs, they moved to Scotland, lived in a tent for a year or so while they found their perfect house (she’d made a list of exactly what she wanted, and got it, right down to the cat flap) and the children were home ed. Result!
- A group of friends went to a museum and chose to visit an underground coal mine. One person was claustrophobic, yet didn’t say anything till we were down in the dark. I took her arm and just tapped for her, saying things like . . ‘I’m really scared and I’m ok’ . . and she was ok. She still remembered EFT when she returned to India some time later, and researched it further.
- A lady in Scotland rang for help and we did surrogate EFT over the phone for her father-in-law’s foot injury. The surgeon said he had never known a healing so fast. Another success.
- A friend had promised her boyfriend she would swim Lake Windermere. It came to a week to go and she still had not bought a wetsuit. I had 45 minutes to work with her. We managed enough for her to get the wetsuit and go. I showed her tapping points if she was still afraid or nervous. She used them, completed the swim and afterwards went on holidays with her boyfriend, diving into deep water fearlessly. 2 years later, the same lady came back for help with claustrophobia in discos and tents . . . sorted!
- An 87 year old lady started playing the piano again after a short tapping session. I think she thought I was bonkers, but her doctor had suggested trying EFT! One of the few who know about it. He retired soon after, so no more recommendations there.
-
This man was unhappy at work. He brought with him an officious letter, making his job untenable. We did about 40 mins ordinary tapping, revealing memories of his gran dying. His eyes grew heavy so we wound up the session. I told him to ring me if he needed anything. I then went out for the evening. Later on that evening, he became unwell - was sick and collapsed on the floor! They couldn’t get hold of me and left a message. As soon as I returned, I rang them - no reply! Oops.
I don’t think they spoke to me for 2 years.
I saw him again four years later, on a long bike ride with a barbecue after. He said ‘Jan, you know that thing you did, about the job . . “
I thought ‘here it comes, a ticking off. . .’
“well” he said . . “it changed my life. After that I realised what was important to me and decided not to let the job bother me and look for another. I found the perfect one now and I’m so much happier. My family are relieved and happier too, so thank you.”
Well, what could i say. It turned out his abreaction had been because he was taking a mild ant-depressant at the time and I had failed to ask about medication.
It just shows, that The Unseen Therapist will get through anything if necessary. I felt the EFT had bypassed the drug and gone for the cause.
Another time I will know to warn people what they might experience. The difficulty with consulting a medic is that they may not know about EFT and perhaps might suggest not doing it. I suppose then the decision rests on the client?
- This next one was a result of Anne Ryan helping me with resentment. I felt bewildered by the huge amount of undercurrent resentment around my family (my mum, siblings and in-laws). I made a chart with arrows everywhere, trying to find where it originated, what the percentages were and who was giving it and who was ‘getting’ it. That was a fascinating exercise.
-
During our session, some family members let it go, others held on to it. The Unseen Therapist zoomed in on one member, saying “you have a choice, there is no judgment or pressure. I am there if you need help.” That all felt much better. 6 weeks later, there was a dramatic change in that person’s personal life, resulting in a major decision being taken with an ‘aha’ moment. This has since led to that person coming out of the resentment and finding a healing way through it. Remarkable.
-
Years later, the deep water lady back again, this time for fear of flying. Another one off session - she only had a week before flying alone to meet someone. She has such faith in it, leaving it so late! Unseen therapist strikes again! Another fast result. Truly remarkable.
In between I have used EFT and OEFT with others, children also, with success, but these examples were life-changing in a big way I feel.
I marvel every time I use it. Gratitude for your gift.
Jan

Forgiveness Is A Major Key to Health
"Harboring negative emotions can lead to devastating long-term disease."
Excerpts from ScienceTimes.com
Note from Gary: In these excerpts from a scientific article, see how many places you can identify where The Unseen Therapist can save the day. Thanks to Richard Ward for submitting it.
Emotions and health: Everybody feels negative emotions once in a while, but these emotions have a stronger effect on your health than you may realize. Every time you think about regrets, experience resentment or replay bad memories in your head, your body suffers just as much as your mind. That's why harboring negative emotions can lead to devastating long-term disease.
Forgiveness = Solution: But there is one simple solution: forgiveness. Trouble is, our culture seems to perceive forgiveness as a sign of weakness, submission, or both. This makes it harder to actually do the work to forgive people who've done you harm.
A study published in the Journal of Behavioral Medicine found that a forgiving personality was related to better subjective well-being and psychological well-being. In other studies, forgiveness was linked to improved physical symptoms, fewer medications used, better sleep quality, less fatigue, and fewer somatic complaints.
Heart protection: Plus, forgiveness has heart-protective properties. A study published in the American Journal of Cardiology found that anger and other negative emotions had cardiotoxic effects, while forgiveness has a more cardioprotective profile. The researchers concluded: "These findings suggest that interventions aimed at decreasing anger while increasing forgiveness may be clinically relevant."
To examine the effects of negative emotions, researchers from Hope College's Psychology Department, examined 35 female and 36 male participants as they revisited hurtful memories and grudges. They focused on blood pressure, heart rate, facial muscle tension, and sweat gland activity. Participants were then asked to imagine granting forgiveness toward real-life offenders. Not surprisingly, researchers found that "forgiving thoughts prompted greater perceived control and comparatively lower physiological stress responses."
Simply put, while negative emotions increased stress response and sweat production, forgiveness lowered blood pressure and relaxed facial muscles. They further explained that "...chronic unforgiving responses may erode health whereas forgiving responses may enhance it."
Unforgiveness = Disease: Unforgiveness is classified in medical books as a disease, according to Dr. Steven Standiford, chief of surgery at the Cancer Treatment Centers of America. He insists that refusing to forgive people who've done you wrong makes people sick and keeps them that way.
Cancer Prevention: "It's important to treat emotional wounds or disorders because they really can hinder someone's reactions to the treatments, even someone's willingness to pursue treatment," said Standiford. When it comes to the most feared disease of the last century, forgiveness may play a role in cancer prevention too. Dr. Michael Barry, author of the book The Forgiveness Project estimates that 61 percent of cancer patients have forgiveness issues. "Harboring these negative emotions, this anger and hatred, creates a state of chronic anxiety," he explains." Chronic anxiety very predictably produces excess adrenaline and cortisol, which deplete the production of natural killer cells, which is your body's foot soldier in the fight against cancer."
Forgiveness can be as simple as letting go of hurtful memories and remembering that the person who hurt you is human too. But before you can do that, you have to forgive yourself for carrying around the weight of resentment for far too long. Let go of the past and you'll feel healthier and lighter than ever before.

Q&A: How Can I Trust The Unseen Therapist's Results?
Question: I've had impressive results using The Unseen Therapist but how can I trust it? I don't trust anything unless I can prove it and it's really important to me to isolate it, to control all variables, and to test it. In that way, I am like an engineer.
Answer: I understand your skepticism. Many newcomers, quite understandably, have it. but let me comment on your need to prove everything.
Engineering is a hard science while psychology and medicine tend to be soft sciences. Hard sciences deal with absolutes such as 2+2=4 (always has and always will). The soft sciences, of which The Unseen Therapist is a part, are loaded with human variables that can (and do) change in the middle of a research project. Pinning down those unpredictable variables is, in my opinion, wishful thinking.
As a result, the soft scientists insist on "being scientific" and leaning on hard science methods to prove or disprove their soft science theories. They may make some progress but, to me, the whole soft science approach is questionable.
Quantum physics is one of the more stunning uses of hard science. There it has been conclusively proven that all atoms are connected and thus separation is impossible. Accordingly, the human experience of separate bodies and separate things is an illusion. The soft sciences, of course, completely ignore this hard science fact and thus researchers thereof attempt to find provable answers within the very illusion of which they are a part. That approach is filled with problems.
Thus your efforts at proving things via soft science means will lead, in my opinion, to questionable outcomes. By contrast, why not prove things by how well they work for you? That way you cut through the iffiness of soft science and get down to the only proof that really counts.
Hope this helps, Gary

Results For Menstruation, Fever, Kidney Issues, And Back Pains
"We practically don't mention kidney pains anymore -- so as to say, they don't exist anymore and many other issues of her life are also cleared."
Many thanks to OEFT Member Carmen Grohs-Lugschitz for submitting these useful results for her friends, clients and relatives. Names changed for privacy reasons.
Menstruation issues: Lady B. had serious pains when getting the menstruation. Even medications would not help. Again, we worked over distance, over the phone. We worked on the symptoms, as the person is not ready yet to go into deeper levels. From a high 10 it goes down to an 8, then to a 5. On the next day and the following days she needs no more medication. Even the next periods are on a low level, without medication.
Surrogate work on a fever: My grandson had a relatively high fever and his mother was very worried. She does not believe in anything but doctors and the "normal" medicine. Thus I did surrogate work on the little one. On the next day he was free from fever and spent the day as a healthy little boy. The distance between us is a few thousand kilometers.
Kidney Issues: Lady C had an appointment with me as she was worried about her nearly constant pains in her kidneys. During a talk we found that in her family they were never used to hug each other, though on a daily basis they cared for each other and she could call her childhood a happy one. - Yet because of the physical "loveless" distance in her family, she developed a fear to hugging or getting to close to persons on the level 8.
We worked on this feeling. After the meditation with The Unseen Therapist (I call her Love), she could imagine hugging and the resistance level went down to a 3. Her constant pains in the kidneys felt less. - On that weekend she would travel to her family. Her aim was to be able to hug her father and above all her mother, to whom she had a nice relationship! A great aim for her! I gave her the "home-exercise" to meditate (as she is a music- teacher) that a little girl would come up to her crying and needed some comfort. This was to see if C. could give her a hug from the bottom of her heart.
When C. came to my consultation again, she smiled: she had given a hug to her father - who was very surprised but accepted the feeling - and several hugs to her mother! Going deeper into feelings, we found out, that there were serious problems about having contact with men. She lived on her own, but wished to come to know somebody to build up a family. - The first feeling was as men were "a specie of their own -- so very different from women." Without further explications and an intensity of 9, we passed this on to the Unseen Therapist. After the meditation it went down to a 3. Very fast really!
Later she felt, she had been used to being "abused" by men, thus not "valued" by them. She thought she had to endure things in order she would be loved - so she had a very low self esteem and felt unloved. A skin rash had come up as she had to meet a gentleman and did not know how to act. Again around an 8. We reframed and took one of the experiences to present to The Unseen Therapist. C. then felt much lighter and self assured afterwards. This experience had been completely neutralized to a 0. During the next days, the skin rash around the mouth had gone down.
We practically don't mention kidney pains anymore -- so as to say, they don't exist anymore and many other issues of her life are also cleared. Within few sessions, this lady has gone a great step forward in her life, being a "smiley", self-assured young entrepreneur!
Back pains: Already before last summer, lady D. came for help: she had strong pains in her shoulders and back. I asked for the reasons behind the pains and discovered the reason involved a court hearing and proceedings regarding a family member. We put the problems over to the Unseen Therapist in the next few meetings: in the end there were no more back pains - and a positive ending in court!! Both of us were happy, relieved and very grateful!

Differences Between Your Soul And Your Ego
Intro by Gary: In this beautifully written article by Elyse Santilli, see how many reflections of The Unseen Therapist you can find within its gentle words.
~~~~~~~~~~
One of my biggest transformational moments in life was realising the difference between my soul and my ego.
It took me a long time and a lot of soul-digging to get it. Here is my understanding:
Your ego is:
- the image you have of yourself
- your social mask, the face you put on for the world
- your titles and roles (girlfriend, daughter, brother, sister, friend, colleague, teammate)
You can learn to spot your ego. When your ego is in charge:
- you’re often caught in circling thoughts (thinking about the same things over and over)
- you’re often consumed by your emotions (especially hurt, disappointment and anger)
- your inner dialogue is heavily focused on anxieties, fears, doubts and self-criticism (I’m not good enough, I’m not beautiful, I can’t do this, I totally stuffed up, I am bad at this, my life is meaningless)
- your worth is dependent on external things (whether you’ve got a partner, a mortgage, a great job, a beautiful wardrobe, a huge circle of friends)
- you desperately need validation from other people
- you’re easily bruised when things don’t go your way, people don’t act in the way you expect them to, people let you down, or people say or do things to offend you
Your ego is something you have to live with, but you don’t have to listen to it or believe what it has to say.
Try not to take it too seriously. It’s not the real you.
Your soul is: Read more
