Lightening up, as requested... ;-)

What got my goat on that EFT site was the 100% pseudo-science explanation.

I really don't mind if people say "we don't know how this works". There's tons of stuff that we don't know fully how it works, or under what conditions it does/doesn't work, bcos the research hasn't been done to check it. If people are honest about this, I'm actually *more* prepared to believe them. But I object very strongly to people trying to snow us by throwing us a load of old crap and expecting that we'll swallow it blindly. "Einstein proving matter is energy and 5000-year-old wisdom of the ancients" is pure unadulterated pseudo-science crap of the first order...

I obviously can't say if it works or not. You say it works for you, which is a point of evidence in its favour. To be more sure about this would need a lot more points of evidence (for and against), but in the meantime I don't mind putting it in the category "could be true". As I said, it seems to be tapping into a lot of the same features (eg. visualisation) as regular anti-phobia therapy does, so there'll likely be similar benefits; whether the same also applies to physical ailments is unclear, but the *belief* that you're healing is certainly a powerful healing tool in itself. All I *can* say is that the EFT site is spouting a load of bull, and as far as I'm concerned that's a strong point of evidence against it.

Hope that clears it up, and sorry for the off-topic rant! :-)
