    Thank you VJ!
    There is an incredible amount of sincerity in the words you have written. To answer if I have tried, and I apologise for not being clear previously, Yes. My search that has drawn me to the places I mentioned also meant that I actively participate in the rituals. Actively meaning, not just “go through the motions” but truly try to understand the power that these people believe their actions of remedies hold.
    Now, lets be honest….men have a “humility gland” buried somewhere in there bodies that I am certain if doctors knew where it was, many wife’s and girlfriends would ask to have it removed, if nothing more than to get them to dance! Some men’s humility gland is much bigger than others and there fore getting them to preform EFT’s is well difficult.

    One has to consciously believe that what ever action or remedy they are about to pursue will work, if not then the sub conscious doesn’t stand a chance at implementing it. And the sub conscious is truly, in my belief, where we want the “tool” to reside.

    I can admit, that there are a few EFT’s I have tried, (the 5 finger touch) that works for me in times when I need to relax. Now regardless is it is the actual action or the defining moment that came to me in the temple of monks where I was taught the method, the calming effect happens. Is the memory of that experience, sitting quietly with the monks in the mountains in North Vietnam triggered by the connecting of my fingers, absolutely it is, however, it is not to say that the actual touching is also not playing a very important role in the calming effect.

    When people search for guidance, we have many options available to us. Reaching out to friends and family, seeking wisdom here on social media, attending professional work shops and counsels, or we can look deep it the world around us. My strong suggestion is balance! do a bit of everything until you find that technique, backed by that defining moment that truly gives it power.

    Anita, we all and I mean everyone on this planet have something to share with one another, I also believe we all have something to gain. Have spent many years “searching” for something, looking in many corners of the earth. What it was I was searching for when I started out, I did not know. As I traveled I learned. Learned that there was so much I did not understand, so much I was taught through my cultural community that now needed to be questioned.

    My ES aided me in so many ways on my travels and yet I kept thinking it was a burden, often to great to carry. So am I here to share wisdom…..I struggle with that word for there is a fine line between wisdom and belief, but if I can share even the slightest experience that triggers another into creating that defining moment, then awesome. If on the other hand, someone else has the same to offer , which I am most certain they do, and I can benefit from their “wisdom”, then……isn’t this a fantastic world we live in!

    VJ, you are right, being ES is in no way a disorder or mental illness, it is very much a personality trait, one to be proud of! It is, as I truly believe, a personality trait that can, if allowed manifest a host of other social blocking issues. Bottom line is the something wrong with people that are ES, or is there something wrong with a society that is full of negativity, full of hurt and dispassion, a society that preaches health and safety and yet goes out of its way to do just the opposite?

    Recently, social media has been littered with “Positive thinking” ….Guru’s if you will. I can honestly say there is one common phrase that keeps appearing, promoted and encouraged by many that is the finger nails on the caulk board to people with ES…..”I don’t care”!
    well, my humble response to that is……I do care! and yes maybe I care too much, funny how “Not caring” is a good thing and “caring too much is bad in todays society isn’t it. But I do, and I am very proud of it!

    In Thailand, there is a saying often spoken by the Thai’s when your opinion does not match their opinion, and I use it quite often when speaking to people that promote “don’t care”, and that saying is “Up to you”!

    Its a beautiful Sunday morning here in the land of smiles, and I will say cheers for now, as I want to take my wonderful lady for a walk on the beach! Have a great day!

    Dear randyg:

    I hope you are enjoying the walk on the beach. I read your note to me above.

    If you have a specific question for me, let me know what it is. Otherwise, share all you want on this thread and on any new thread you may choose to start in the future.

    Anita…….Thank you!

    I believe the question of “is this a place for me?” is on its way to a resounding yes!

    That being said, I do acknowledge, not just the guidelines and “rules” that this forum holds dear, but the rules that we as human beings should hold dear when ever communicating to one another, respect, admiration, open mindedness and honesty, while being sensitive to what others just might be experiencing, even though we are not.

    I would like to suggest this discussion be closed, and a new one be started, one entitled, “I’m Emotionally Sensitive, and proud of it”

    Beach was awesome by the way!
