# 44 EFT To Relieve High Blood Pressure

Simple Way to Relieve High Blood Pressure and Heart Palpitations

By Christine Wheeler, MA
Peggy Thiel downloaded the free EFT Manual and the next day lowered her blood pressure from 144/92 to 121/86. Minutes later she was writing this to the EFT Web site:
"Oh my God! I am a rank beginner, having never even heard of this process until last night, I've only done it now a total of 3 times, and it's stabilized my heart rhythm and lowered my blood pressure over 20 points ... I have never seen anything work like this!"
Similar results are common for people using Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT). It is a fresh approach to dealing with illnesses of all kinds ... including those that are affected by stress. EFT works in subtle ways, targeting and neutralizing disruptions in the body's energy system and bringing the body into balance. As the body achieves balance it becomes less prone to having a physiological reaction to stress, and to negative emotions like anger, guilt, hostility and fear.
According to the Texas Heart Institute Web site:
"You are at an increased risk of high blood pressure if you face high levels of stress. In some studies, stress, anger, hostility, and other personality traits have been shown to lead to high blood pressure, but the findings have not always been consistent. Emotional factors most likely add to the risk of high blood pressure for people who also have other risk factors."
EFT delivers a form of emotional acupuncture ... without needles ... to resolve issues like anger and hostility and to calm the features of Type A personalities that can make them more susceptible to high blood pressure. The basics of EFT can be learned by anyone and can be self-applied (usually in minutes).
Read how Peggy Thiel, a "rank beginner," used EFT to dramatically reduce her blood pressure
Read Peggy's case in its entirety.
Peggy was away from work for two weeks due to a persistent and worsening irregular heartbeat combined with high blood pressure (160/105 measured two weeks ago). Having an aversion to taking medication, Peggy began researching alternatives on the Internet. She found the EFT Web site and downloaded the free manual, which teaches the basics of performing EFT.
After scanning the manual, Peggy performed EFT on her heart flutter and noticed some small improvement in the heart's rhythm. She left EFT for the night and, upon rising in the morning, noticed the heart palpitations were still present. She reread the manual and realized that last night, in her haste, she hadn't applied the entire EFT procedure. (Despite this, she still had noticed an improvement in her heart fluttering.)
Next, she diligently performed the entire EFT protocol focusing on the problem of her heart flutters. After about three minutes of doing EFT, Peggy's heartbeat "regularized." It stayed that way all day.
Peggy was encouraged by this significant result and "decided to attempt a more scientific verification of the technique." She took her own blood pressure, which read 144/92 ... a significant drop from two weeks ago. Peggy attributed this drop to the fact that she had been off work for two weeks. But, perhaps, EFT was already calming her heightened blood pressure.
She noted the BP reading ... performed ONE complete application of EFT ... and waited one minute. She took her blood pressure again ... it had dropped to 121/86! (120/80 is considered normal).
Within 10 minutes, Peggy moved her blood pressure out of the danger zone of Stage 1 Hypertension. Not everybody can expect to have the same stunning results as Peggy.
We estimate that, if performed correctly and with persistence, EFT's clinical results show that people improve their condition in about 80 percent of cases. While it might take several applications of EFT for Peggy to lower her blood pressure even more, these are very encouraging results for a woman who was averse to taking medications for her condition.
Please note that, in addition to improving blood pressure with EFT, we have found it to be a consistently effective healing tool for hundreds of other physical, mental and emotional ailments.
