J. B. Rhine, who began investigating paranormal phenomena at Duke University in 1927, conducted a series of experiments whereby volunteers had to predict a suit of cards from a choice of four. He conducted many experiments, and his data showed a small statistic anomaly but it wasn't enough to convince the skeksis that was really something to ESP or, as you might term it, "being lucky at cards".

Recently, someone looked at his raw data and noticed that there were also some test results that were so bad, they were statistically significant also - people who got nothing right, or much less than their "fair share" of accidental bits of good luck. If you add those people, the ones who somehow managed to defy the odds and never get lucky to the ones who nearly always got lucky, you do end up with a really significant result for J B Rhine's experiments ...

Theoretically, everyone should "get lucky" some of the time.

I just came across this article, originally written for the StarFields group, from 2004.

It contains a very interesting EFT pattern that can be used with all manner of unrealistic "feelings" and the example is that of "feeling poor".

There was a complete family organisation around the mother's coulrophobia which also included that all TV had to be pre-recorded, checked for clowns or clown-like occurrences in cartoon or live format and then the family could view it.

This is a classic case example of how coulrophobia - a fear of clowns - was successfully treated with EFT Emotional Freedom Techniques.

Now this person has always had very low self esteem, as they say; and even in spite of many, MANY years in personal development, and even though there was some small improvement, they talked of there being "this dark core, this real darkness, that I can never seem to shake off".

Here is a practical, real life case for just how USEFUL it is when people know how to do EFT - the example of an author writing their first book, and using EFT to sort out not just their attitude, but also  their writing skills, thus setting free the "heart of gold", the true message that comes from the heart, and allows it to be heard.

A running joke in the EFT community is the person who mails, calls or raises their hand and asks, "I have this terrible headache. What opening statement (set up) should I use?"

Obviously, the set up is "I have this terrible headache!"

Here is an example on how to spot the right set up or opening statement, so that the person can know what they should be tapping on.

EFT For Bad Dreams & Nightmares

Bad dreams and nightmares are a very disturbing proposition; it's always well to keep in mind that these are manifestations and symptoms of an underlying problem, and never a problem in and of themselves.
