Sunday, July 13, 2014: “Emotional Freedom Technique”

Presenter: Julie Merrick

Host: Dale Bostock

Emotional Freedom Technique is a type of meridian tapping which combines principles of acupressure and psychology. Simple and effective, the process can (among other things) help to relieve pain, heal trauma, clear phobias, and release limiting beliefs. By stimulating the body’s meridian points while activating an emotional state, memory or belief, we are able to diffuse our body’s habitual response and become open to new ways of processing our life experience.

Join us for a discussion of what EFT is, why it works and how to do it!

The Magic Valley Unitarian-Universalist Fellowship meets every Sunday beginning at 10:30 AM at the Twin Falls Senior Center, 530 Shoshone Street West in Twin Falls.

Newcomers are always welcome. Child care is available. We are handicapped accessible.

Please Park in the front of the building.

Members and regular visitors will discuss their own presonal thoughts pertaining to why they attend the Magic Valley Unitarian-Universalist Fellowship.

The Whitings’ home is located at 2529 E 3707 N (Windmill Heights) just outside Twin Falls (near Curry Crossing). For directions, please call Ken Whiting at 208-734-9161 or email mvuuf83301@yahoo.com for directions —  or use this Google Maps link.
