Wise Woman EFT

On October 1st, the members of EFT TapFest2009, spoke with Deepak Mostert of TREST. TREST is an organization created to effectively reduce levels of trauma and intense emotions in disaster areas. Most relief organizations focus on the basic physical needs of survivors. What make this organization unique is these experts help survivors start the recovery process through the use of Emotion Freedom Technique.

Deepak told us the most common factor found in disaster survivors is working with forgiveness. Survivors often feel that some how they are at fault. Perhaps they are a bad person and somehow deserved this punishment.

In an average day the EFT teachers with TREST would travel from village to village, where groups of approximately 200 already gather. Often they help as many as 2,000 people in a single day. The children gather in an open space, as the schools often are no longer standing. There they are taught the basics of EFT. In the evening the focus is the adults of the communities.

There are many challenges working in Indonesia. The population is primarily Muslim, which creates cultural issues for Western relief volunteers. These people are already traumatized, it falls upon the relief worker to familiarize themselves with the local culture and respect it. Another challenge is that many of the tribal peoples still speak their indigenous languages, not Indonesian, requiring an interpreter.

TREST has been experiencing an extra administrative challenge in this time of special need. Pay Pal had shut down their non-profit account set up on the website http://trestaid.com for gathering donations. Although, when I follow the link a few days later, the payment went through, so this issue has been resolved.

TREST is a small organization, focused on field work, with no time or personnel with the skill set to handled administrative duties and challenges. Deepak said this was one way that those of us living outside the Indonesia area could be of greatest benefit. Contact http://trestaid.com if you can offer administrative skills. Keep in mind currently there is not electric, cell phones or internet available in Padang. It maybe sometime before you could expect return reply.

Deepak offered a second way to help in disaster areas around the world. No matter where you live you can always do surrogate tapping. Most people familiar with EFT are aware that you can tap for someone who is not present, and they can receive benefit, relief from emotional or physical pain.

Surrogate tapping is where EFT TapFest, fills a much needed niche. This is a gathering of EFT practitioners and people of all levels of interest. Once per month teleconferences like the one from Indonesia, connect tappers with those in need of surrogate tapping.

By now most of us are familiar with the idea of quantum physics which proves we are indeed all one. Through remote EFT we can each one, offer relief around the world. As these planetary shifts increase in frequency, EFT can be a most important tool in transformation of human consciousness.

I was inspired by the call to focus on what can be done locally in my community, beyond my regular practice, to offer EFT for disaster relief. I know that living in a coastal community, we have a tsunami preparedness plan. It would be possible to intersect with that organization to teach the simple skills of EFT to these volunteers, before there is a need. We have a local volunteer fire department and EMT’s who are the first contact in emergency situations. The Red Cross would be another place to connect.

One on one personal crisis plays out daily around our seemingly secure lives. Cars crash, homes burn down, accidents happen. What other idea can you come up with to bring EFT to the forefront in aid of your local community?
