Learn EFT – EFT 102: Step zero – Drink water

This article is part of the EFT 102: How to do EFT, the basics series.

Depending on our age, we are 60% – 80% water.  Water structures are the glue that holds the body together.  Without water there is not life.

One of my favorite bumper stickers of all time reads, “You are not sick.  You are thirsty!”

Many people often mistake being thirsty as being hungry.  [Note: The next time you are craving a munchy, have a glass of water.  If you are still hungry 15 minutes later, then have the snack.]

Water is a wonderful conductor of energy (which is why we are not suppose to use the toaster in the bathtub).  It is the water structures (called the living matrix) that hold the body together.  These are also the paths that much of the energetic information of the bodies communication system travels.

If there is no water, there is no path for this healing information to pass.  James Oschman points out in his book Energy Medicine in Therapeutics and Human Performance a 5% increase in water in the body increase the ability for information to pass along the living matrix to increases 5 million fold.

As a general rule, being hydrated is one of the keys to health and well-being.  Water is critical to Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT).  If you are dehydrated, EFT will not work, much the way a dry batter won’t work.

If you haven’t had any water in the last two hours, you should have a glass before you start tapping.  You don’t have to drink so much that you are floating away.  Six to eight ounces should be more than enough.
