Discover what to do about insomnia.

1. EFT for Insomnia
Late nights, early mornings-you thought that all that was for when you were younger!
Surely by now you should be allowed to sleep in until at least noon, wake up refreshed
and ready to start your day, enjoying life. Instead, you find yourself unable to fall asleep
until early morning, and waking up just a few hours after dozing off. Quality sleep that
leaves you refreshed in the morning-forget it. Instead you are drinking eight cups of
coffee just to keep your eyes open, and destroying your health in the process. There
must be a cure for this madness called insomnia.
Indeed there is a cure. There are many “cures”, in fact, but one that does not involve
drugs or even natural supplements, one that is completely free and yet 100% effective
is known as EFT Tapping Therapy. Emotional Freedom Techniques Tapping Therapy is
used by doctors
world wide to relieve physical issues, especially those caused by underlying emotional
issues, insomnia being one of them.
EFT uses a technique that is similar to acupuncture, but with tapping instead of needles.
Very simply, you tap along certain Meridian points that will “unbind” emotional issues in
your life and leave you free. This technique sometimes involves saying certain positive
affirmations along with the tapping.

2. Now, if this seems just a little too “weird” for you, then that is fine, and completely
understandable. Emotional Freedom Technique Tapping Therapy is a little different that
what most people are used to, but at the same time, the results cannot be denied.
One woman reports suffering from insomnia for years before trying EFT before bed.
Within fifteen minutes, she was asleep that night. While most people will not have such
instantaneous results, they are definitely possible, and even if it takes a few nights of
doing EFT Tapping Therapy on yourself, you are almost guaranteed to have restful
sleep.
How do you do it? Lightly tap various points on your face and body, including your
eyebrows, chest, and chin, while repeating a certain phrase, such as “Though I am
nervous about not sleeping tonight, I choose to relax and trust that I will get the sleep
I need.” Always follow a negative statement with a positive statement. As mentioned
before, you may not have blissful sleep the first night, but doing EFT with the positive
affirmations will relieve your stress and leave you ready for sleep.
Because stress is such a major part of not being able to sleep, you may need to begin
by tapping for stress, not for insomnia. “Even though I feel stressed, I…” and follow it
up with a positive statement. You can even be more specific to get better results: “Even
though I am worried about losing my job, I…” Using this technique to treat stress, and
then using different words to treat insomnia, all the while tapping, will put you ahead
when trying to sleep.
Emotional Freedom Technique Tapping Therapy is not the only way to help with
insomnia, though. You may also want to journal before bed, and write everything you
are thinking, so that you can go to bed with a clear mind. Drinking water before bed also
might help with insomnia, as will eating a light carbohydrate snack, such as crackers.
